    Friendships are difficult. 
     
     
     
    Sometimes it can seem as if friends are more work and pain than they're worth, with friendship challenges that we have to endure and struggle through. Life gets in the way of our well-intentioned efforts to connect. Conflicts and differences over serious issues divide us and make us think that we could never be close to a person ever again. In today's cancel culture, it's easy to give up on people and just walk away, leaving us all more isolated than before. How can we build real relationships that are life giving and pass the test of time? 
     
     
     
    Bryan Loritts mines one of the Bible's least-known books for insights into how friendships can flourish even in the midst of sin and brokenness. With careful exposition and insight, he unpacks how the apostle Paul helped Philemon and Onesimus reconcile a most unlikely relationship with truth, repentance, and grace. With God's work and steadfast love, even the most painful relationships that have ruptured are not beyond the reach of forgiveness and reconciliation. Discover how friendships that are hard can be transformed into friendships that endure.

    Your Faith Is Your Fortune by Neville Goddard is a profound exploration of the intrinsic power of faith in shaping one's reality. Goddard asserts that our external circumstances are direct reflections of our internal beliefs and assumptions. By understanding and harnessing the power of faith, individuals can transform their lives and achieve their deepest desires.Goddard emphasizes that faith is not merely a religious concept but a fundamental principle of human consciousness that influences every aspect of our existence. He teaches that by cultivating a strong, unwavering faith, individuals can reshape their reality to align with their true desires. The book delves into practical techniques for developing this faith, including visualization, affirmations, and the practice of living in the end state of one's desires.Through compelling anecdotes and clear instructions, Goddard illustrates how these techniques can be applied to impress the subconscious mind with the conviction that one's goals are already accomplished. This process of "assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled" is central to manifesting one's desires and achieving personal success.Your Faith Is Your Fortune is a timeless guide that empowers readers to recognize and utilize their innate creative power. It provides invaluable insights into the nature of reality and offers practical tools for anyone seeking to harness the power of faith to transform their life and realize their full potential.

  • Triune Relationality - A Trinitarian Response to Islamic Monotheism - cover

    Triune Relationality - A...

    For centuries, Christians and Muslims have engaged each other in debate and critique. A key area of disagreement is the nature of God: Is God a Trinity or absolutely one? To promote interfaith dialogue, Christians must understand the history of the conversation and also articulate the doctrine of the Trinity in reasonable, compelling ways.
    In this New Explorations in Theology volume, Sherene Nicholas Khouri offers both historical and constructive responses to Islamic objections to the doctrine of the Trinity. Khouri considers arguments from Arabic Christian theologians and philosophers in the eighth to tenth centuries, primarily John of Damascus, Theodore Abū Qurrah, and Yaḥyā Ibn cAdī. When Muslims expanded beyond the Arabic peninsula, Christians in occupied regions were spurred to defend the Trinity against the Islamic understanding of tawḥid, the absolute oneness of Allah, and against misconceptions of Christian belief.
    Khouri then applies the insights of these little-known thinkers to current theology and apologetics conversations. She makes the case for appealing to the common ground of God as the greatest conceived being, then arguing that such a being must be relational in nature. While Christians today debate models of the Trinity with each other and with Muslims, they can be confident that Christians throughout history have believed in triune relationality and found in the doctrine of the Trinity an invitation to personal relationship with the divine.
    Featuring new monographs with cutting-edge research, New Explorations in Theology provides a platform for constructive, creative work in the areas of systematic, historical, philosophical, biblical, and practical theology.
