  Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not regard equality with God as something to be exploited, but emptied himself . . . (Philippians 2:5-7a) 
   
   
   
  These ancient words offer a guide for modern Christians wrestling with their privileged place in an unequal and unjust world. The Kenosis Hymn (as this passage quoted by the apostle Paul is known) celebrates Jesus for his willingness to forego the divine glory that he is due, instead humbling himself to serve the oppressed and outcast of his society. 
   
   
   
  Through a combination of in-depth Bible study and social analysis, Filled to Be Emptied invites listeners to explore the hymn verse by verse and see Jesus' self-emptying example as a model for privileged people to see their advantages not "as something to be exploited" but as something to be laid aside to seek the good of others. Brandan J. Robertson walks listeners through a step-by-step process of identifying their privilege, exploring their privilege, and ultimately leveraging their privilege as a tool for the liberation and redemption of the world. Filled to Be Emptied is an essential book for all followers of Christ who are seeking to live lives of justice.

  Through palace whispers, tribal tension, secret plots, and unexpected acts of grace, The Moses Chronicles: Prelude traces the emotional and political fault lines that shape the world Moses will inherit. 
  Written with reverence and resonance, this is the story before the staff struck the Nile. The story before the sea parted. 
  This is the story before the basket on the Nile. 
   The quiet before slavery.

  Money. The thought of it can be overwhelming, and the pursuit of it can be addicting. Our society constantly promises us that money will provide what we want—success, comfort, peace, and happiness—leading our fickle hearts to trust money for things it was never intended to give us. Even if we think we know what the Bible says about money, there seems to be a gap between our theology and our everyday money struggles.  In this practical and hopeful book, best-selling author Paul David Tripp shows us how to view and interact with money in a God-honoring way. Through chapters that expose the depths of our heart struggles and our need for grace, this book offers a roadmap to find peace, generosity, and joy in the world that God created.

  Bearing God - Living A...

  Imagine yourself with Jesus, in a boat on the sea, as a sudden storm fills the other passengers with fear. When the priest read this Gospel story in Mark 4, Marlena Graves didn’t see herself as the terrified disciples, lacking faith. She wasn’t Jesus, peacefully sleeping through the danger. She wasn’t the wind or the waves. According to Graves, “I was the boat! And then it occurred to me that, like Jesus’ mother, Mary, I, too, am a God bearer.” Journey with Graves and discover these things:  We are all vessels that carry Jesus as we journey throughout our lives.  Boats are made for the water―they have a mission―and that mission always involves others.  Jesus is not disturbed by any storms (or our reactions to them).  Our lives, which carry Christ and the gospel, are to bring salvation to others, especially those who have been thrown overboard in life.  There is a destination―life with God―at the heart of spiritual formation. As we bear God and go out to sea, God is also bearing us into oneness with him.  Bearing God is a short and enthralling read that will awaken you as a disciple of Jesus to a sense of adventure in your calling. Using the metaphor of Christians as vessels for Christ, Bearing God is packed with inspirational lessons and principles to help readers grow in their spirituality. An ideal discipleship resource for churches, small groups, and personal devotion.
