Beschreibung

"Christians believe not just in one coming of Christ, but in three."
We tend to think of Advent as the season of anticipation before Christmas—and while it is that, it's also much more. Throughout its history, the church has observed Advent as a preparation not only for the first coming of Christ in his incarnation but also for his second coming at the last day. It's also about a third coming: the coming of Christ to meet us in our present moment, to make us holy by his Word and Sacrament.
In this short volume, priest and writer Tish Harrison Warren explores all three of these "comings" of Christ and invites us into a deeper experience of the first season of the Christian year.
Each volume in the Fullness of Time series invites readers to engage with the riches of the church year, exploring how its traditions, prayers, Scriptures, and rituals all point us to Jesus.

What are you willing to cry out for? 
 
 
 
Bartimaeus knew Jesus was his only hope for healing, for a better life. So even as the crowd jostled him, scolded him, told him to be quiet, he unleashed a desperate plea and shouted louder. This time Jesus stopped and said nine words that changed the trajectory of his life—and will change yours: "What do you want me to do for you?" 
 
 
 
Unpacking this unforgettable encounter between Bartimaeus and Jesus with his unique humor, storytelling, and fist-pumping motivation, Chuck E. Tate shows how it can also be your story. Revealing faith-building biblical truth and wisdom, he shows how to overcome obstacles to boldly approach God; rise above resistance to receive from God; dream big and believe in God for the impossible; and move from desperately calling for Jesus to passionately following Him. 
 
 
 
God always does exceedingly more than we can ask or imagine. So go ahead and shout—and receive all he has for you.

The adventure continues—bigger, bolder, and more unpredictable than ever. 
Following the events of My Own Little Place – Volume 1: Adventures in the Quest to Find One’s Place in Life, this second installment takes listeners deeper into the extraordinary lives of Bronagh, Finn, and their eclectic team. While newcomers can dive into this volume on its own, returning listeners will find richer meaning and continuity by starting with Volume 1. 
In The Show Must Go On, life doesn't slow down—it intensifies. As personal quests evolve, so do the stakes, weaving through a tapestry of genres: historical fiction, mysticism, romance, political intrigue, environmental drama, and psychological thriller. The narrative sweeps from the spiritual echoes of 19th-century England and France to the jarring innovations of the Industrial Revolution, blending past and present in a captivating, genre-bending experience. 
Unexpected turns abound—from career shifts with global repercussions to deepening spiritual mysteries. Is there truth behind the unseen forces guiding their path? And what role does Ezra—and his complex network of allies—play in shaping destiny? 
New loves blossom. Fighter jets scramble over California. The ordinary bends. 
This is more than a sequel—it's a journey of discovery, resilience, and reinvention in a world where anything can happen…and it does.

A Biblical Vision of Gender Identity 
Since the beginning of humanity, people have recognized God's distinct design of male and female gender. But at the onset of the gender revolution, individuals became more likely than ever to question who they were designed to be. As a society, we have expelled gender distinctions and celebrated psychology over biology. Do the core teachings of the Bible uphold this modern divorce? 
In this concise booklet, Samuel D. Ferguson carefully and compassionately compares the core beliefs and practices of the transgender movement with the fundamental truths expressed in Scripture. Ferguson argues human identity is not determined by the individual but is given to us by our Creator, who designed us with purpose and encourages us to live in Christlikeness—valuing heavenly transformation over earthly transition. 

- Short, Accessible Format: A concise biblical exploration of gender identity 
- TGC Hard Questions Series: Equips readers with answers to difficult questions facing the modern church  
- Great Resource for Parents, Pastors, or Those Struggling with Gender Identity: Offers advice for tackling personal and corporate controversies related to sex and gender
