Sinossi

"Holy Family" presents a comprehensive exploration of Christian distinctiveness and transformation, examining how believers become "a peculiar people" through spiritual rebirth and sanctification. This scholarly yet accessible work delves deep into the biblical concept of holiness, using 1 Peter 2:9 as a foundational text to understand both individual and collective Christian identity. Through careful analysis of original biblical languages and contemporary theological scholarship, the book illuminates how spiritual transformation impacts daily life, relationships, and community formation.

 
The book's three-part structure provides a systematic examination of Christian identity, beginning with the theological foundations of being "born again" through analysis of key biblical passages. It then transitions to practical applications, offering real-world examples of how spiritual transformation manifests in daily life and relationships. The final section broadens the scope to examine the collective identity of believers as God's family, exploring how individual transformation contributes to corporate witness and community formation.

 
What sets this work apart is its interdisciplinary approach, drawing from sociology, psychology, and anthropology while maintaining firm biblical grounding. The book bridges academic rigor with practical application, making it particularly valuable for pastors, theological students, and serious lay readers seeking deeper understanding of Christian identity. By addressing contemporary debates about Christian distinctiveness in secular society while providing frameworks for personal spiritual development and community building, it offers a balanced and thorough examination of how ancient biblical principles remain relevant in modern contexts.

Upon the Broken Range

Lynnette Bonner

He hopes to protect her from men—but only God can free her from fear. 
When Jeremiah Jackson discovers Deliverance, a beautiful runaway slave, hidden in his wagon, a protective spirit rises within him. She fled from the cruel and relentless Colonel Boone Baxter, who will stop at nothing to reclaim her—including searching the wagons from top to bottom before they are allowed to pull away from the fort. Thankfully, Mrs. Hawthorne has gone into labor early. Will hiding Del beneath the laboring woman be enough to keep her safe? 
Fear has been Deliverance’s constant companion ever since Boone bought her away from her mother. As she cowers in the darkness of the crate beneath the laboring woman, terror whispers that Boone will never let her go—especially since she’s carrying his child. She’ll never be free. Then the soldiers come knocking, and her nightmare comes to life. 
Yet as the men begin to ransack the interior of the wagon, Deliverance discovers that courage is born not from the absence of fear, but from trusting God and resting in the victory—and freedom—of the battles He has already won.

The 7 Deadly Sins -...

Christian Vandergroot

Seven titles in one book. All the seven deadly sins explained and analyzed.
Book 1: Envy
Envy is often something we point out in others, but if we face the facts and admit to being imperfect, finding it in ourselves can actually improve our lives, our attitude, and our happiness. When we figure out where our feelings are wrong, we can take action and change our mindset. So many people think of envy as a sin against others, but actually, we are doing this to ourselves. We create our own misery by looking at others and comparing ourselves to them.
Book 2: Gluttony
Gluttony has been mistaken for many things in the past. Some people judge others for being fat. Some are confused as to how far to go when indulging themselves in delicious foods. And others wonder if self-discipline in general is the underlying commandment that is related to the sin of gluttony. Understanding the sin, and the essence of it, can be life changing. It can mean the difference between a constant nagging feeling or urge to have more, and on the other hand, a divine feeling of contentment and a smile on your face.
Book 3: Greed
We’ve heard it before: The love of money is the root of all evil. Greed, or avarice, has caused many to “err from the faith” according to Paul, who wrote to Timothy. “Flee these things,” he said, urging him—and all of us—to concentrate on Christlike qualities instead of worldly possessions, and on treasures in heaven, not on earth. Greed is everywhere. It is almost unavoidable. If we let go of the possessions that so easily possess us, we can focus more on God and His purposes.
Other vices include lust, sloth, wrath, and pride. Listen to this eye-opening audiobook now!
