  What is Critical Race Theory? 
   
   
   
  It may be one of the most widely referenced issues of the day, but it's also one of the least understood. In its translation from the academic world to the general public, Critical Race Theory (CRT) has inaccurately become a catch-all term for anything related to race. But what does it actually mean, and how should Christians engage it? 
   
   
   
  Ed Uszynski—whose PhD in American culture studies navigated readings in Marxism, Critical Theory, and Critical Race Theory—carefully unpacks what critical race theorists seek to accomplish and what Christians can learn from them. Uszynski generously explores CRT's roots, context, and central tenets, revealing how its insights are used and distorted but also how they might benefit the church. With responsible answers to legitimate concerns, Uszynski goes beyond the surface to provide a reliable path of just discernment and cultural engagement.

  Acts and the Movement of God -...

  LET GOD DISRUPT YOUR WORLD AND SHOW YOU WHAT HE CAN DO. 
  When we open the book of Acts, we’re struck by the gap between our experience and the movement described in its pages. 
  The book of Acts calls us back to the beginning—to a movement born in obscurity, captivated by God’s grace, devoted to prayer and the spread of his Word. A movement that was bold in persecution, generous in love, alive with God’s presence, and on the move from Jerusalem to the ends of the earth. 
  What if Luke isn’t just telling us, “This is how it was,” but also saying, “This is how it can be”? 
  This book combines insightful commentary with stories and lessons from across the globe, inspiring readers to join the movement of God, as it stretches from where they are to every place and every people.

  Now more than ever, we all face trying situations. The hope we need and hunger for is not a strategy or state of mind, but faith in Jesus. He stands secure for us in the face of every trial, from loss to sickness to injustice. Through 20 short prayers, 10 personal stories of miraculous transformations, and Biblical teachings, Hope in 60 Seconds will help you take the first steps towards a journey of security in the hope of Jesus. 
  “At twenty-one I was as far from hopeful as anyone could get. Maybe as far as you are now.” 
  These are the words of Cristina Baker as she considered her traumatic life: from childhood abuse to troubled teen years, to a descent into substance abuse, she resonates with a lost world who understands first-hand how easy it is to lose hope.

  If you are weary and doubting, Cristina understands. Hope in 60 Seconds will help you to:Be encouraged and empowered by someone who has been in a similar place of discouragement and discovered Christ’s authority and love,Learn how Jesus establishes hope and begin to experience it first-hand in the darkest of circumstances,Grow in your ability to connect with Jesus and find the hope you have longed for all of your life, andProve that a connection with Jesus is the ultimate source of hope. 
  The message of Cristina’s life is Jesus, the hope we need and hunger for—a hope that will stand secure in the face of brokenness, loss, sickness, abuse, a brain tumor diagnosis, injustice, and death. In Hope in 60 Seconds, she shares the steps of her journey to encounter, receive, and walk in the hope of Jesus, and offers you powerful wisdom for how you can take the same journey for yourself.

  Finding Messiah - A Journey into...

  Jesus was Jewish, and his Jewish identity informed every aspect of his work, words, and witness. He came as the Messiah of Israel, God's covenant people, and he spoke the language of God's faithfulness to this people. So why does it seem that Judaism has little to do with our Christian discipleship today? 
   
   
   
  Jennifer Rosner, a scholar of Jewish-Christian relations, takes us on a personal and corporate journey into the Jewish roots of Christian faith and practice. Understanding Judaism—and the way in which Judaism and Christianity became separate religions—is essential for a rich and holistic Christian identity. As a follower of Jesus who was raised in a Jewish home and who continues to live a Jewish life, Rosner has seen firsthand how a Christian faith can become impoverished when divorced from its Jewish roots. Finding Messiah follows Rosner's own journey in rediscovering the role of Judaism and God's covenant with Israel in Christian life and practice. When we begin to understand Christianity's indelible relationship to Judaism, key aspects of the Christian faith come alive and the wonder of the gospel becomes clear in new and powerful ways. 
   
   
   
  Jesus' Judaism provides the foundation for the church that is built upon his name. Rediscover the Jewish Jesus, and in so doing, experience a deeper and richer faith than ever before.

  Becoming the Pastor's Wife - How...

  As a pastor's wife for twenty-five years, Beth Allison Barr has lived with assumptions about what she should do and who she should be. 
   
   
   
  In Becoming the Pastor's Wife, Barr draws on that experience and her expertise as a historian to trace the history of the role of the pastor's wife, showing how it both helped and hurt women in conservative Protestant traditions. While they gained an important leadership role, it came at a deep cost: losing independent church leadership opportunities that existed throughout most of church history and strengthening a gender hierarchy that prioritized male careers. 
   
   
   
  Barr examines the connection between the decline of female ordination and the rise of the role of pastor's wife in the evangelical church, tracing its patterns in the larger history (ancient, medieval, Reformation, and modern) of Christian women's leadership. By expertly blending historical and personal narrative, she equips pastors' wives to better advocate for themselves while helping the church understand the origins of the role as well as the historical reality of ordained women.
