CS Lewis For Beginners

Louis Markos

Sinossi

C.S. Lewis For Beginners is a thorough examination of C. S. Lewis, the greatest Christian apologist of the twentieth century, throughout his career as an author and as a professor at Oxford University. A Christian apologist defends Christianity as a consistent and coherent worldview that squares with human reason, history, and desire. It offers answers to every facet of our lives on earth as well as answers to our questions about what happens after we die. What makes C.S. Lewis unique as an apologist is the way he balanced so perfectly reason and imagination, logic and intuition, and head and heart. In addition to writing such non-fiction apologetics books as Mere Christianity, The Problem of Pain, and Miracles, he wrote eleven novels: the seven Chronicles of Narnia, a trilogy of science-fiction adventures, and a haunting retelling of an old myth set in the ancient world. All eleven tell wonderful, captivating stories that stand on their own as fiction but that also support and bring to life the kinds of apologetical arguments he makes in his non-fiction. He also wrote two utterly unique works of fiction, The Screwtape Letters and The Great Divorce, that offer a fresh, highly original take on sin and temptation, angels and devils, and heaven and hell. And that’s not all. Lewis the apologist and novelist had a day job. He was a celebrated English professor at Oxford, and then Cambridge, University who wrote works of literary criticism that are still famous today. C.S. Lewis For Beginners takes the reader through the wardrobe of his complete catalog of writing.

Navigating life’s winding roads

Fimalia McNoll

We often find ourselves asking many questions as we navigate life's winding roads. This journey is not only about reaching where we're going quickly; but accepting and appreciating the uncertain, unpredictable paths. 
The road's curves represent challenges that allow for a solid foundation and help to grow a strong character. Every sharp turn makes us reflect on our abilities to accept and deal with changes, challenges, and problems wisely. Life is about embracing the curves, becoming stronger with each one, and learning from them rather than trying to avoid them. 
Despite our urge to rush things and demand results, there is power in waiting. When we believe in God and trust the process, we become aware that every moment is a lesson and a chance to learn as much as we can. In all of its amazing intricacy, life frequently seems like an endless trip full of winding roads, twist and turns. We are not permitted to just rush into the unknown on this journey, but to navigate the bends cautiously with wisdom and guidance from the Holy Spirit. 
Sharp turns in life can also help us grow closer to God. We might be caught off guard but should always rely on our God for comfort and direction.

Raising Disciples at Home -...

Chris Ammen

Discipleship Without All the Pressure 
 
 
 
If discipling your children sounds like a daunting, shame-filled impossibility, you're not alone. As a children's pastor and father of four, Chris Ammen has experienced your frustration firsthand and understands that most parents feel inadequate for the task. But what if our inadequacy isn't a failure, but is just the place from which God chooses to work? 
 
  
 
In his debut book, Chris celebrates the freedom we have to disciple our children from a place of weakness and dependency on God while uncovering these key truths . . . 
 
   
 
Truth #1: You are not the lynchpin of your child's journey of discipleship. God is. 
 
  
 
Truth #2: Discipleship is nothing less than God molding and shaping the entirety of our personhood into his image as those who delight in him and bring him glory. 
 
  
 
Truth #3: You're not qualified to disciple your children. But God is. And he can work through you to move your children closer to becoming more like his son, Jesus. 
 
   
 
Let's explore together what discipleship is and isn't and what we can do to partner with God in loving and discipling our kids.
