Rebuilt Faith - A Handbook for Skeptical Catholics

Michael White, Tom Corcoran

Sinopsis

Winner of a honorable mention award in the popular presentation of the Catholic faith category from the Catholic Media Association. Do you question whether God really exists? Have you considered walking away from your faith because you’ve been hurt by someone in the Church or because you struggle with some of its teachings? Or maybe you’ve already left? Are you carrying around guilt for something you’ve done and don’t feel you are worthy of God’s love? Rebuilt Faith, written by Fr. Michael White and Tom Corcoran—authors of the bestselling book Rebuilt—proposes five simple steps to learn (or relearn) more about your Catholic faith and deepen your relationship with God. In Rebuilt Faith, you will learn that rebuilding and renewing your faith starts with a nagging feeling that you want something more—more connectedness, more community, and more purpose. That’s the spark that leads to a flame that burns brightly around Jesus, the foundation of living and growing in faith. The steps in Rebuilt Faith can be done in just ten minutes a day over forty days during your morning coffee, at lunchtime, or when you are relaxing in the evening. Each one includes a quotation from a saint, a reflection, questions to ponder, a prayer, and a scripture verse. White and Corcoran organize the book around five steps that build on different aspects of Catholicism and are meant to be repeated: serve—serve others and develop a servant’s heart; give—giving reflects the character of God; engage in Christian community—we need friends of faith to become more like Jesus; practice prayer and the sacraments—by praying consistently and continually taking part in the sacraments, you will better connect with God; and share your faith—having a heart for people who do not know Jesus and helping them in their faith journey will strengthen your own faith. White and Corcoran have watched thousands of people in their parish in Timonium, Maryland, take these five steps and grow from seeing God primarily as an abstract idea into knowing him as a deeply loved partner who provides a far greater sense of purpose for living than they had ever known before. Invest in yourself by taking your faith to the next level and allowing God to help you come to know his grace, favor, and loving kindness in a new and personal way. Not only will you strengthen your own connection to God but also the connection between him and the entire Body of Christ.

Desiring God (Revised Edition) -...

John Piper

John Piper Explores the Ultimate Source of Pleasure, Satisfaction, and Lasting Joy
"God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in him." This simple but powerful statement has been a cornerstone of John Piper's ministry for nearly 40 years. Laying out the principles behind this "Christian Hedonism," Desiring God has proved to be a source of rich theological insight for countless readers through the years, guiding them to the fullness of joy found in Christ, even through suffering. 
In this foundational work, John Piper addresses profound questions about the purpose of life and the human pursuit of pleasure. Drawing wisdom from Scripture and insights from church history, Piper challenges the belief that believers must sacrifice joy in order to glorify God. It is the other way around; we glorify God by finding our greatest joy in him. Delighting in God does not diminish his glory; it magnifies it and fulfills the deepest desires of our souls.

- Explains Christian Hedonism: Human life should be a pursuit of godly pleasure 
- Written by John Piper: Desiring God, first published in 1986, became a cornerstone of Piper's teaching and ministry
- Wise Theological Insights: Delves into Piper's famous statement that "God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in him"

A-Tumblin' Down

Sarah Hinlicky Wilson

A pastor with familiar doubts. A spouse just starting to feel at home. When heartbreak strikes, will the church heal their wounds, or only salt them?
Upstate New York, 1988. Pastor Donald Abney is plagued by uncertainty. Grandson of a fiery revivalist preacher, the gentle peacemaker wrestles with the contrast between their respective ministries. But when his household is rocked by a devastating accident, his misgivings become a painful certainty lacking any consolation.
Carmichael Abney wonders if she’s settled too soon. Haunted by alternate versions of herself, the devoted pastor’s wife and academic is furious when her parents reveal their Jewish heritage to her pre-teen daughter without her permission. But before she can work out how to handle that breach of trust, she suffers a life-shattering tragedy.
As Carmichael grapples with her grief, a former ally pressures her to change to suit a personal agenda and triggers an explosive reaction with far-reaching consequences. And though at first Donald’s preaching is invigorated by his pain, he falters as his congregation fractures in the wake of his wife’s outburst.
Will mounting tensions stop this grieving family from reclaiming life and hope?
By turns humorous, historical, and holy, A-Tumblin’ Down expertly reveals an intimate look at life inside the parsonage. Confronting difficult topics head-on with mystagogical realism, ironic observations, and energetic prose, Sarah Hinlicky Wilson delivers a compelling page-turner of intense theological depth.
A-Tumblin’ Down is an absorbing work of literary fiction. If you like deeply human characters, lively discussions of faith, and blending adversity with hopefulness, then you’ll adore Sarah Hinlicky Wilson’s beautiful story.

The Books of Thessalonians I &...

Chuck Missler

How does eschatological view affect your life? If it has no effect, you might reconsider what you really believe. Paul's epistles to the believers in Thessalonica are the two most important New Testament eschatological epistles. First Thessalonians is among the earliest New Testament documents: written less than 20 years after Christ's resurrection. Every chapter refers to the Second Coming. The most famous declaration in this letter is on the Harpazo, commonly called, from the Latin, the "Rapture". Paul's second letter apparently followed his first by a few months. He addressed, among other things, an apparent forgery that was written "as if from Paul". He wrote to settle their confusion over the same issues that plague most prophecy discussions today: Will the church experience the Great Tribulation? When does the Antichrist appear?
