  Crossway Introduces the Collected Works of John Owen, Updated for Modern Readers
  Regarded as one of the greatest theologians in history, 17th-century pastor John Owen wrote extensively on holiness, Scripture, the Trinity, and ecclesiology. His classic works—which have inspired Christian thinkers including Charles Spurgeon, J. I. Packer, and John Piper—remain influential, but until now haven't been offered in an easy-to-read collection.
  The Complete Works of John Owen is a 40-volume series that brings together all of Owen's original theological writing, reformatted for modern readers. Volume 20 includes sermons that he delivered in the wake of a particularly tumultuous period in London that had witnessed plague and the Great Fire. Amid war and concerted attempts to suppress religious dissent, Owen proclaimed the power of the gospel, urging his community to take refuge in the Lord and live faithful lives of godliness. With extensive introductions by editor Martyn C. Cowan, this volume also includes outlines, footnotes, and other supporting resources.
  
  -  Edited and Formatted for Modern Readers: Presents Owen's original writing, newly typeset with insightful introductions, outlines, text breaks, headings, and footnotes
  -  Part of The Complete Works of John Owen: This collection, which includes material not previously published, will release 40 hardcover volumes over the next 6 years

  Cola di Rienzo and Garibaldi:...

  Cola di Rienzo was a man whose life and actions have reverberated down the centuries, as his charismatic, yet unsuccessful dictatorship has spawned legends and comparisons with movements of later ages. His attempt to bring the greatness of Roman antiquity into the reality of the 14th century, the city’s lowest point, is inspiring on its face. In 1938, Iris Origo saw how Cola was being used by her present era and noted that "within the last century Emperor, Communist and Fascist in turn have paid tribute to Cola di Rienzo as a kindred spirit or precursor. But historical parallels are deceptive. To measure a man of one century against a man of another is to see neither of them in the light of his own time…" 
  The different Italian states on the peninsula experienced Napoleonic rule in the early 1800s, followed by a brief restoration that led to widespread political upheavals in the 1820s. As the 1840s came to a close, the Italian peninsula was in major disarray. In 1847, the Austrian Chancellor Klement von Metternich referred to Italy as merely a “geographical expression,” and to some extent, he was not far off the mark.   
  	The Italian state may have come together thanks to ideals, but the success of the Second Italian War of Independence owed a lot of its success to chance, foreign intervention, and the wheeling and dealing of a few powerful men. Its story is long and complex, and the ultimate unification of Italy as it’s recognized today would require no less than four wars. Nonetheless, despite its difficult birthing process and rocky start, the Italian state has survived over 150 years, and it even managed to remain united in the aftermath of World War II, escaping the fate of Nazi Germany.

  Did you ever have someone leave their handprint on your soul? Did you ever have a friend that changed your life forever? This is a story about a friendship that changed my life forever. If you have or had a dear friend in your life that you cherished, I hope you can share my need to share what this dear friend did for me. I am not the same person since I met her. 
  She took a frightened woman lacking self-confidence and transformed me into a self-confident, daring woman. I want this book to be a thank you to a strong, enduring woman who faced so many challenges and trails in her life but still found time to be a devoted friend. She always had time to listen, laugh, cry, and shout when I needed her to. 
  I would like this book to encourage those who have a dear friend to always make sure you take time to spend with your dear one. Time is precious, and before we know it, we are longing for moments that we so casually took advantage of. If you are one of the lucky ones who have someone who has left their handprint on your soul, I hope you feel this book in the depths of your soul. If not, I pray that the future may lead this special friend to you. I have been blessed to have this friend's handprint on my soul. Every, day she continues to press her hand on my soul.

  Holy Runaways - Rediscovering...

  Matthias Roberts, Jen Hatmaker

  In the past decade, church attendance among US adults has decreased by more than 25 percent. Americans report leaving religious communities because of the institutions' hypocrisy and resistance to change or because of trauma they have experienced in those spaces. Instead of safe havens for people of faith, many churches have become sites of harm—places people feel the need to escape at all costs. 
   
   
   
  In Holy Runaways, psychotherapist Matthias Roberts reaches out to those who, like him, want to understand the religion they've run from and erect a new faith on firmer foundations. He concludes that the best blueprint for a new spiritual home requires reimagining ourselves, God, and our very definition of faith. 
   
   
   
  Roberts blends deeply personal stories, new interpretations of familiar Christian parables, and recent scholarship about the dynamics of trauma to offer a way forward—and a warm, helpful companion—for listeners on their own journeys. He calls out people who perpetuate systems of violence and oppression and suggests ways we can all contribute to a new system built on love—and a new home we can inhabit together.
