Sinopsis

Copenhagen, 1940 
 
When the Germans march into Denmark, Baron Henrik Ahlefeldt exchanges his nobility for anonymity, assuming a new identity so he can secretly row messages for the Danish Resistance across the waters to Sweden. American physicist Dr. Else Jensen refuses to leave Copenhagen and abandon her research--her life's dream--and makes the dangerous decision to print resistance newspapers. 
 
As Else hears rumors of the movement's legendary Havmand--the merman--she also becomes intrigued by the mysterious and silent shipyard worker living in the same boardinghouse. Henrik makes every effort to conceal his noble upbringing, but he is torn between the façade he must maintain and the woman he is beginning to fall in love with. 
 
When the Occupation cracks down on the Danes, these two passionate people will discover if there is more power in speech . . . or in silence. 
 
"Sundin shines in her newest novel. Her craft is inimitable, and her literary finesse radiates from every page."--Booklist starred review 
 
"Sundin grounds this suspenseful tale in rich historical detail."--Publishers Weekly

    In Serving as Jesus Served: Practical Ways to Love Others, Michele Howe equips men and women to better understand their calling as God’s chosen ones to make a distinct and holy impact in the world. She begins by unpacking what it means to serve God and what this looks like in day-to-day life. Designed to be highly practical, Serving as Jesus Served offers readers specific Bible passages that describe our responsibilities as servants and how to implement them in a world that pursues the opposite. Each chapter highlights a specific passage of Scripture for deeper study and includes a real-life story that illustrates how a servant is to respond to difficulties, opposition, or resistance from others. Every story is followed by a biblical application essay, a Take-away Thought, a Prayer of Confession, a Call to Action, and a Call to Serve prompt for every day of the week. Also included are inspirational quotations, memory verses, and introspective questions for readers to contemplate and pray about. Serving as Jesus Served answers the question posed by many earnest believers: “How do I best serve Jesus in a world so hostile to my faith?”

  • Interpreting Your World - Five Lenses for Engaging Theology and Culture - cover

    Whether we interpret Scripture or culture, it matters what we do, not just what we think or feel. How do we live with our interpretation, and how do we live it out? This book helps us understand how culture forms us as political actors, moves us aesthetically, shapes the rhythms of our lives, and connects (or disconnects) us from God and neighbors we are called to love. The goal is to be equipped to engage culture with greater fluency and fidelity in response to the triune God. 
     
    This short, accessible introduction to the conversation between theology and culture offers a patient, thoughtful, and theologically attuned approach to cultural discernment. It helps us grow our interpretive skill by training our intuition and giving us a slower, more deliberate approach that accounts for as much of the complexity of culture as possible. The book explores 5 dimensions of culture--meaning, power, morality, religion, and aesthetic--and shows how each needs the others and all need theology. Each chapter includes distinctive practices for spiritual formation and practical application. Foreword by Kevin J. Vanhoozer.

    God's right to judge humanity is written on the very fabric of human existence 
     
     
     
    The doctrine of reprobation—that is, the eternal, unconditional decree of God for the non-elect—is frequently misconstrued in both pastoral and theological literature. In Reprobation and God's Sovereignty, Peter Sammons reintroduces this oft-misunderstood doctrine, revealing its relationship to divine sovereignty. With Romans 9 as a guiding text, Sammons presents a thoroughly researched defense of reprobation as an essential part in a Reformed theology that magnifies God and encourages believers to trust in him. 
     
     
     
    Reprobation and God's Sovereignty clearly defines and demonstrates from Scripture the foundational terms and doctrines required for properly understanding reprobation, such as: God's justice; Election; Compatibilism; Secondary causality; Preterition; and Predamnation. 
     
     
     
    Understanding these theological ideas proves vital to answering life's all-important question, "Who is God?" Sammons shows how the doctrine of reprobation leads to a greater admiration for God, eliciting higher praise, reverence, and belief in him.

    Supernatural experiences can be powerfully moving, but they also can be diverse and complex. God desires to anoint all His people with His supernatural power so that we can encounter Him in deep and personal ways. To rightly walk in this power, we must understand both the opportunity and the responsibility that come with this invitation. 
     
     
     
    After experiencing numerous moves of the Spirit and seeing many tragic casualties in the church, Dr. James Goll has written Standing Strong in the Anointing to help us understand the biblical nature of the anointing, interpret the various ways of the Holy Spirit, and walk wisely as we experience divine encounters. You will learn how to cooperate with the Holy Spirit to increase the anointing in your life; unlock supernatural encounters; recognize the deception and temptations that can undermine the anointing; and safeguard your faith so you can finish strong. 
     
     
     
    The ultimate goal of any supernatural encounter is to reveal Jesus. He is our great reward, and He is also able to keep us from stumbling as we discern the traps and embrace all the blessings of supernatural encounters. We have been entrusted with the priceless power and presence of God. Let us endeavor to stand strong in that anointing so that we can bear lasting fruit—in our lives and for the growth of God's kingdom on earth.
