Summary

In "Probabilities: An Aid to Faith," Martin Farquhar Tupper engages with the intersection of science and spirituality through a unique lens of Victorian thought. Crafted in a meditative style that evokes the philosophical discourse of his era, Tupper meticulously examines the probabilistic nature of belief and doubt. He employs logical reasoning to bridge the realms of empirical evidence and faith, arguing that a rational approach to probabilities can bolster spiritual convictions. The book is a reflection of the 19th-century preoccupation with harmonizing science and religion, indicative of the burgeoning discussions on faith amidst the industrial revolution. Martin Farquhar Tupper, a poet and prose writer known for his didactic writings, drew upon his own struggles with faith and reason to produce this thoughtful work. Living in a time of rapid scientific advancements and social change, Tupper sought to navigate the complexities of belief, thus fostering a dialogue between rational thought and religious faith. His background in law and the arts gave him a distinctive voice, allowing him to articulate profound insights into the human condition. "Probabilities: An Aid to Faith" is highly recommended for readers interested in the philosophical underpinnings of belief systems, offering an enlightening examination of the delicate balance between faith and reason. Tupper's engaging prose invites readers to reflect on their own convictions, making this work both a scholarly resource and a personal guide for those navigating the complexities of modern belief.

    In God of All Promises: A Poetic Pilgrimage through Genesis, Walter Brueggemann offers a fresh, prayerful journey that illuminates our shared faith. With poetic insight and theological depth, Brueggemann invites listeners to find new meaning in each chapter of Genesis through his personal spiritual practice of praying back the Bible to the God who dwells therein. Those who engage deeply with these poems will find themselves taking time with each line, pausing so that they may engage in critical reflection on the text, appreciate the art of the text, and see the text as a script for prayer and meditation. 
     
    Beginning with a scriptural epigraph and ending in prayer, every entry invites deeper engagement with the living Word, gleaning a renewed sense of God’s enduring promises. Brueggemann's lifelong passion for Scripture and the faith community shines through as he draws out the persistent themes of God's presence, faithfulness, and creative love, even in humanity's messiest moments. In Genesis, he shows us a God who brings order out of chaos, calls us beyond grief and fear, and forms a people meant to bless the world. 
     
    Whether you're a pastor, seeker, or lifelong learner, God of All Promises is a spiritual companion that offers a rich, imaginative resource for individual devotion, group study, or communal worship.

    Creative ideas, real-life stories, and Scriptural guidance for being the family that loves being together.   
    Building Family Ties with Faith, Love, and Laughter is the second of three books in the Faithful Families series where Dave applies his practical, conversational, and humorous approach to the challenge of building strong spiritual ties to each other as a family. Topics include: Contentment, Security, Loyalty, Gratitude, Spontaneity, Communication, and more.  
    Preaching is his gift, but Pastor Dave Stone’s family is his life’s blessing. While raising three kids with his wife, Beth, as well as shepherding the diverse families of his congregation, his heart, and passion for building strong families rings louder than ever. He knows that raising faithful families is a key to the future of the church.   
    "Dave's book is full of no nonsense, common sense suggestions, and biblically inspired truth. As a parent of two "under construction" children still finding their way in a fallen world, I am keenly aware of the importance of living a life of faithful integrity in order to actually teach it to our kids. I, of course, have failed miserably on occasion. But then, I didn't have Dave's book like you do!"—Kathie Lee Gifford
