  Embedded Genres in the New...

  Recognizing what we are reading--the genre--is crucial for understanding any written work, including the books of the New Testament. However, we may not always realize we use genre categories as we interpret, whether explicitly or implicitly. Embedded genres, or genres within genres, can substantively impact the interpretation of an entire New Testament book. 
   
  This short, accessible book by a widely respected scholar and seasoned teacher introduces embedded genres, their impact on New Testament interpretation, and how they contribute to the message of the New Testament authors. Jeannine Brown offers hermeneutical guidance for interpreting embedded genres and explores the hermeneutical questions they raise. She focuses on three case studies of embedded genres that have been contested, underidentified, or underappreciated across the New Testament corpus: the Christ poem in Philippians 2, riddles in Matthew, and the household code in 1 Peter. 
   
  Students of the New Testament, pastors, and ministry leaders will value this work.

  Victory Through Surrender -...

  When we think of the apostle Paul, we may imagine him in many places—along the road to Damascus, preaching in a synagogue, speaking on the Areopagus, emerging from a shipwreck, penning letters in a prison cell. All of these places have one thing in common: they are in a world controlled by our enemy. While the people he encountered may not have realized that they were in the devil's grip, Paul knew exactly with whom he was grappling, and it wasn't those who disagreed with him, laughed at him, or persecuted him. It was Satan.In this book of never-before-published content, A. W. Tozer draws from the life and ministry of Paul as laid out in his epistles to show us how to identify our true enemy, recognize who we are in Christ, and live victoriously as carriers of the Light in a world ensnared by the forces of darkness.In a time when we find ourselves constantly pitted against one another in social and political battles, we must understand that our enemy is not the person standing next to us or the one we're arguing with online. Rather, Paul calls us to live in complete surrender to Jesus Christ, so that we can withstand everything the devil throws at us—and win.

  A Pilgrimage of Faith, Doubt, and Rediscovery 
  In Chasing Francis, bestselling author Ian Morgan Cron's modern and penetrating novel, the timeless wisdom of Saint Francis of Assisi is blended with the very real struggles of a modern-day pastor. When faced with the tragic death of a young girl in his congregation, pastor Chase Falson finds his faith unraveling. Questions about God, suffering, and his purpose consume him, but Chase is afraid to confide in anyone. When his doubts spill out in a moment of vulnerability in front of his entire church, Chase is left humiliated and cast out. 
  Desperate for clarity, Chase accepts an invitation from his uncle Kenny, a Franciscan priest in Italy. What begins as an escape becomes a transformative pilgrimage as Chase retraces the footsteps of Saint Francis of Assisi--a man whose radical love for Jesus changed the history of the world. Immersed in the beauty of Italy and the wisdom of Franciscan spirituality, Chase begins to confront his doubts, rediscover his faith, and reimagine what it means to follow Jesus. 
  Chasing Francis is a story of risk and renewal as Chase dares to leave behind his job, reputation, and certainty to uncover a raw, authentic faith. Through animated storytelling, Ian Morgan Cron invites you through history and the winding landscape of Italy to the sacred places where God has made himself known, inviting you to wrestle with your own faith, doubts, and pursuit of a deeper connection with God--and discover God's presence and purpose for you, found sometimes in the unlikeliest of places. 
  A study guide can be found in the audiobook companion PDF download.
