  Historian Michael Haykin stokes a passion for revival by investigating the history of spiritual renewal in the Reformed tradition. After examining the Holy Spirit's outpourings during the Reformation and English Puritanism, Haykin focuses on two remarkable moments of renewal in the eighteenth century: the Great Awakening and the revival of the Particular Baptists in the British and Irish islands. By looking back at revivals from the past, we can develop a biblical framework for expectant prayer for revival in our day.

  Why do women often struggle to thrive in Christian workplaces? 
   
  Prominent male Christian leaders are often called to account for improper behavior with women in their organizations. There are certainly a few bad actors, but is something systemically amiss in Christian organizations? 
   
  In Confronting Sacred Inequalities, Leanne Dzubinski shows how secular inequalities have been imported into Christian spaces and treated as sacred. Beliefs about women that don't align with Scripture and God's view of women have too often been promoted as biblical. She identifies five pitfalls that often occur in Christian organizations that make it difficult for women to flourish: 
   
  ● "Sex and the office": An undue focus on sexuality 
  ● "Hey, guys!": Language that marginalizes women 
  ● "I can't; I have to work": Assumptions about work culture that leave women feeling like they constantly fall short 
  ● "Are you sure that's right?": Ambivalence toward women 
  ● "There are no good women leaders": Cultural and Christian stereotypes that frame leadership as male 
   
  Dzubinski explains how organizational dysfunction is often caused by systems that prioritize men over women in ways that are detrimental to the organization as well as to the people in them--men and women alike. Each chapter offers scriptural perspectives and practical suggestions to help leaders create organizational cultures where everyone can flourish and work together as siblings in Christ.

  “Spiritually rewarding and uplifting.” — Cardinal Timothy Dolan, Archbishop of New York 
  New York Times bestselling author and editor at large of America magazine Father James Martin reveals how we can turn to Christ completely in mind, heart, and soul. Martin offers a portrait of Jesus, using his last words on the cross to reveal how deeply he understood our predicaments and shows us what it means to be fully human. 
  Each meditation is dedicated to one of the seven sayings:“Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.”“Today you will be with me in Paradise.”“Woman, this is your son”  . . .  “This is your mother.”“My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”“I thirst.”“It is finished.”“Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.” 
  With the warmth, wisdom, and grace that infuse his works, Father James Martin explains why Jesus’s crucifixion and death on the cross is an important teaching moment in the Gospels. Jesus’s final statements, words that are deeply cherished by his followers, exemplify the depth of his suffering but also provide a key to his empathy and why we can connect with him so deeply.

  Is God Calling You? -...

  PhD Bob Thiel

  How do you know if God is calling you or not? How can you know? Dr. Thiel gives many scriptures that help you know if God is calling you. Many verses from the Bible are presented to prove that it is only a very small flock that is being called by God during the church age, the age we are now in - John 6: 65 "Therefore I have said to you that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted to him by My Father." Not everyone is being called by God at this time. 
  Are you one of the elect? Are you one that is being called now? If so, why? Why is God calling you now? What is the purpose of your calling? Dr. Thiel answers this question with another verse from the Bible - 31 even so these also have now been disobedient, that through the mercy shown you they also may obtain mercy. 32 For God has committed them all to disobedience, that He might have mercy on all. (Romans 11:31-32). God is calling you now so that, through you, God might have mercy on all! 
  What an awesome calling! You, if you accept God's call and overcome until the end, will have the opportunity to help multiple thousands, perhaps millions of others come to God in the age to come - 26 And he who overcomes, and keeps My works until the end, to him I will give power over the nations — (Revelation 2:26). 
  If you are being called now, Dr. Thiel provides verses that prove you were predestined to be called. But you must accept that calling. The choice is up to you. God won't force you to become part of His family. 
  If God is calling you, what about the others? Are they lost? No! Dr. Thiel makes plain with many scriptures that God wants to have mercy on all, each in their own order. 
  He is calling you now to help you develop Godly character. God's character is love. By developing true Godly love you will help make eternity a better place for all.
