Synopsis

In "Christ Legends," Selma Lagerlöf masterfully intertwines narrative and spirituality, presenting a series of beautifully crafted, imaginative retellings of biblical stories surrounding the life of Christ. Through her distinctive prose, characterized by lyrical elegance and deep symbolism, Lagerlöf evokes a profound sense of wonder and reverence. The book reflects the broader context of early 20th-century European literature, embracing themes of faith, humanity, and the divine while paying homage to folklore traditions that permeated Swedish culture. Selma Lagerlöf, the first female writer to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1909, was deeply influenced by her Swedish roots and the landscapes of her childhood. Her background in teaching and her exploration of mystical themes provided her with a unique perspective on spirituality, particularly in how it intersects with everyday life. This blend of personal experience and literary craftsmanship has defined her work, allowing her to navigate complex religious narratives with grace and sensitivity. "Christ Legends" is not only a testament to Lagerlöf's literary brilliance but also an invitation for readers to explore the intersection of faith and narrative. This collection is essential for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of Christian themes through a fresh lens, making it a significant addition to both literary and theological discussions.

    Outreach Resource of the Year
    The American church is at a critical crossroads. Our witness has been compromised, our numbers are down, and our reputation has been sullied, due largely to our own faults and fears. The church's ethnocentrism, consumerism, and syncretism have blurred the lines between discipleship and partisanship.
    Pastor Eric Costanzo, missiologist Daniel Yang, and nonprofit leader Matthew Soerens find that for the church to return to health, we must decenter ourselves from our American idols and recenter on the undeniable, inalienable core reality of the global, transcultural kingdom of God. Our guides in this process are global Christians and the poor, who offer hope from the margins, and the ancient church, which survived through the ages amid temptations of power and corruption. Their witness points us to refocus on the kingdom of God, the image of God, the Word of God, and the mission of God.
    The path to the future takes us away from ourselves in unlikely directions. By learning from the global church and marginalized voices, we can return to our roots of being kingdom-focused, loving our neighbor, and giving of ourselves in missional service to the world.

    Lauren Bailey may be a romantic at heart, but after a decade of matchmaking schemes gone wrong, there's only one match she's committed to now--the one that will make her a mother. Lauren is a dedicated first-grade teacher in Idaho, and her love for children has led her to the path of international adoption. To satisfy her adoption agency's requirements, she gladly agreed to remain single for the foreseeable future; however, just as her long wait comes to an end, Lauren is blindsided by a complication she never saw coming: Joshua Avery. 
     
    Joshua may be a substitute teacher by day, but Lauren finds his passion for creating educational technology as fascinating as his antics in the classroom. Though she does her best to downplay the undeniable connection between them, his relentless pursuit of her heart puts her commitment to stay unattached to the test and causes her once-firm conviction to waver. 
     
    With an impossible decision looming, Lauren might very well find herself choosing between the two deepest desires of her heart . . . even if saying yes to one means letting go of the other.
