  The history of the Western church is stained by injustice. The impulse to resist justice and look the other way has harmed the church and the people it aims to serve. But a different future is possible. 
   
   
   
  In The Justice of Jesus, Joash Thomas surveys the history of injustice and colonization in the Global South at the hands of the Western church. He shows that in addition to harming colonized peoples, colonization has limited Western Christians' understanding of the gospel, leading us to devalue the pursuit of justice for our neighbors on the margins. 
   
   
   
  A St. Thomas Christian born and raised in India, Thomas reflects on his experience in churches across denominations in both the Global South and the Global North. He challenges the status quo, examines beliefs that keep the church from pursuing liberation and wholeness, and explores the relationship of justice to our budgets, pulpits, and theology. 
   
   
   
  The Justice of Jesus is both a prophetic diagnosis and a hopeful prognosis. Listeners will be encouraged with fresh ideas for prioritizing justice through prayer, partnerships, and advocating for the vulnerable in their communities and around the world.

  "If you've ever wished you could travel back in time to the days of Jesus and ask all of the most difficult questions, this is the novel for you. The Carpenter's Son brings Christ into our modern world and will fill the reader with love, hope and faith in, not just God, but a better world."—#1 New York Times bestselling author​ Richard Paul Evans
  Perfect for fans of The Shack and The Case for Christ, this inspirational novel is a reminder that, even in the darkest times, we are never alone.
  
  Award-winning journalist Brooklyn Sterling has built her career exposing frauds, corrupt politicians, and conmen in the pages of the Boston Globe. Hardened by personal tragedy and deeply skeptical of anything resembling faith, she's the last person to believe in miracles. So, when a series of so-called "divine acts" sweep through Boston—including lives inexplicably saved, a blind man suddenly seeing, and a child brought back to life—Brooklyn is determined to uncover the truth and expose the hoax.
  But Brooklyn's latest investigation takes an unexpected turn when she encounters a mysterious stranger who seems to appear at every miraculous event. As she digs deeper, the lines between skepticism and belief blur, and her carefully constructed worldview begins to crumble. When tragedy strikes close to home, Brooklyn is offered an opportunity no atheist could ever imagine: spend a day with Jesus Christ himself.
  In a journey filled with hard questions and unexpected answers, Brooklyn confronts the pain of her past, the world's deepest struggles, and the mystery of faith. From a family broken by loss to a carpenter's son who sees the heart of everyone he meets, Brooklyn is drawn into a story that will challenge everything she believes.
  The Carpenter's Son is a moving and thought-provoking novel that invites readers to walk alongside Jesus, laugh, cry, and see the world through his eyes. With unforgettable characters, profound insights, and a story of redemption and hope, this book will renew your faith in God, humanity, and the power of love.

  Aspiring religious leaders looking to elevate their sermons will find valuable guidance in "Kingdom Communication" by David E. Pritchett . This book argues that the secret sauce of a powerful sermon isn't the information itself, but the speaker's deep connection with God. Pritchett emphasizes practices like prayer, meditation, and even fasting as ways to strengthen your spiritual well-being. By focusing on these, you become a clearer channel for God's message, ensuring your words resonate with a deeper truth than your own ideas. However, spiritual grounding isn't the only pillar of a successful sermon. Pritchett acknowledges the importance of knowledge as well. The book dives into the importance of studying your religion's theological foundation, which includes a deep understanding of religious texts. But knowledge extends beyond scripture. Studying religious history provides context and helps you see how your faith's beliefs and practices developed over time. Finally, the book emphasizes the importance of honing your communication skills. Learning the art of persuasion and effective public speaking allows you to connect with your audience on a deeper level, ensuring your message is clear, engaging, and leaves a lasting impact on your congregation. In essence, "Kingdom Communication" equips religious leaders with a two-pronged approach: cultivating a strong spiritual connection and developing a solid knowledge base alongside effective communication skills. This combination allows you to deliver sermons that are both deeply meaningful and well-articulated, inspiring and guiding your congregation on their spiritual journeys.

  Have Faith In God - In a...

  Having Faith In God 
  Having faith is vital for us, but how do we define it? I think we will find the answer in Hebrews 11, the faith chapter. Every one mentioned here simply took God at His word and obeyed His commands. And for this, they were all remembered for their faith. Believing the word of God and acting on what we know is living by faith. Faith is not hoping something will happen, faith is knowing that it will happen. 
  So now the questions are, “How do we get this faith?” and “How do we increase in faith?” Our faith is not just intellectual knowledge and agreement. It is more than just acknowledging certain facts about Jesus, the Bible, the resurrection or anything else from scripture. It is taking our entire life and making a stand that is based on our confidence in these facts. Genuine faith is life changing. 
  My aim in this book is to give you a start in your life of “having faith in God”. This will be for you a lifelong pursuit, not something you can do today and then forget about it. No, the road will be long, with many twists and turns along the way. You will inevitably encounter opposition to your newfound faith in God the whole way. 
  As you grow in faith, there will be some changes to your lifestyle. Some will be only minor changes. Others may be massive as you learn how God wants you to live. But all of them will be not only necessary but worthwhile.  
  Keeping your eyes and mind on the end goal of being in God’s kingdom will give you the courage to face these troubles. 
  If you feel the need to find God, to find the way to having faith in God today, then the only place you will find the answers is in the Bible. Please use this book as a stepping stone to your faithful future and may our Almighty God bless you on your way down that road.
