Synopsis

Christianity Today Book Award of Merit—Popular Theology
The Gospel Coaltion Award of Distinction—Popular Theology
Every generation faces the temptation to wander from orthodoxy—to seek out the jolt that comes with false teaching, and to drift with cultural currents. And so every generation must be awakened again to the thrill of orthodoxy, and experience the astonishment that comes from stumbling afresh upon the electrifying paradoxes at the heart of the Christian faith.
In The Thrill of Orthodoxy, Trevin Wax turns the tables on those who believe Christian teaching is narrow and outdated. Returning to the church's creeds, he explains what orthodoxy is and why we can have proper confidence in it, and lays out common ways we can stray from it. By showing how heresies are always actually narrower than orthodoxy—taking one aspect of the truth and wielding it as a weapon against others—Wax shows us that false teaching ultimately proves bland and boring, and that orthodoxy is where true adventure can be found.

    I'm shocked. 
    My dad just told me that my mother died. 
    DIED. 
    He should know that mothers don't die until they're old grandmothers. Is he lying to me? Is she dead or did she run away from me because of our fight? I miss my mom. My heart hurts. This can't be happening. 
    What am I going to do without my mom? How do I survive without my mom? 
    Dad says that I must move in with him, his wife, and his two kids. This can't be happening. And what about my art show? Mom encouraged me to paint. I can't do my art show without her! What am I going to do? 
    If my mom died, God must be punishing me. Or maybe he's not as good as everyone says. 
    Pastor Will says that God values my tears. I can't stop crying, but God hasn't given me my mom back yet. Maybe Pastor Will has been tricked and God isn't real, after all. c 
    Kirkus review says, "Steeped in Christianity, Templeton's story is likely to provide deep comfort to those who observe the faith and would prove an excellent resource for Christian youth groups. This Christian-centered story deftly limns the conflicting emotions of kids who have experienced loss."

    Give yourself permission to slow down. 
     
     
     
    Jodi Grubbs did not give herself permission for too long, falling headlong into the endless rush and exhaustion of hustle culture. After leaving her childhood home on the island of Bonaire in the Caribbean, she had assumed the rapid pace and stress of city living in the States. Soon she realized God was bidding her to a return to the "island time" of her past. 
     
     
     
    In time Jodi found sanctuary and ways to care for her soul by making space for God, others, and herself. Evoking the contentment she once had in the gentle rhythms of Bonaire, she learned of another path: a path away from burnout and toward restoration. And she invites you, too, to grasp a sustainable approach to life anchored by the forced pauses of spiritual practices and an openhandedness before God. Each chapter offers slow-living shifts to help you put the concepts into practice. Begin to rest and let go of the need to keep up, as you learn to live slowly.

    Join New Testament Scholar Benjamin Merkle as He Explores the Major Themes of the Book of Ephesians
    Paul wrote Ephesians as instruction and encouragement for the church in Ephesus, and it has continued to influence the church for centuries. This New Testament book specifically focuses on the believer's union with Christ and our inability to stand before God without the work of Jesus Christ and the Spirit, both of which are still essential today. 
    In this addition to the New Testament Theology series, scholar Benjamin Merkle offers an accessible summary of the theology of Ephesians that highlights God's work in salvation and how Christians should respond. Each chapter focuses on a key theological theme—the plan of God, union with Christ, walking according to the Spirit, unity of the church, and spiritual warfare in the present age—and why it is relevant for the church today.
