  The modern church is immersed in a competitive, polarized, and status-driven society. It's hard to have conversations about important issues when so many are defensive and unwilling to learn. Too often, Christians fall into these same traps. The health and witness of the church urgently depend on recovering an essential biblical virtue: humility.
  New Testament scholar Dennis R. Edwards illuminates humility as a, if not the, distinctive identity marker of followers of Jesus. Tracing the theme throughout Scripture, he demonstrates how true humility is grounded in submission to God and becomes manifest in all areas of life. Edwards defuses common misconceptions about humility and explores its role in Christian community, conflict, leadership, suffering, worship, and stewardship.
  As we learn from and honor the humble instead of the power-hungry, humility paradoxically empowers God's people—including those who are often marginalized. Filled with stories from the author's ministry experience, Humility Illuminated addresses common areas of leadership failure and how to avoid them, applies biblical texts on humility to multiethnic ministry and justice work, and issues a compelling challenge to the church.
  Biblical humility is not a tactic, and it's not just "being nice." It's a revolutionary path to follow in the footsteps of Jesus.

  How do we stay faithful as we wait on God? 
   
   
   
  The time after Good Friday but before Easter Sunday is one of the most overlooked portions of the Bible. We tend to rush ahead to the empty tomb seeking to find the resurrected Lord, but our lives don't come equipped with a fast-forward button. We all face seasons of waiting where we long for a new or better future. 
   
   
   
  Peace in the Dark invites you to look again and acknowledge the reality of Holy Saturday. The example of the early disciples in those in-between hours offers a depth of wisdom about what to do when things have gone wrong. Their practices can serve us as we face our own disappointments, trials, and even traumatic experiences. There is a way to not just live but to experience peace when God seems silent. Rooted in Scripture, nature, and her personal experiences of years of trial, Jessica Herberger guides us through what was happening on that day, why it matters, and how we can approach our Holy Saturdays with hope and faithfulness.

  Our Father

  Who is God? What is He like? Is He distant? Does He care? In this brief, yet informational book, I shed light on the character of God; how He relates to us; and touch on some of the most searching questions about God. Yes, God is mysterious but when you look into the scriptures, the Bible, you see just how much God has revealed Himself to humanity, especially through Jesus. There is more than enough scriptural evidence to show who God is, His character, and His concern and love for all of humanity. God is not a distant deity that has zero interest in His creation. Quite the opposite, He very much wants to be involved in every aspect of our lives to the smallest detail. This book is heavily backed by scripture, incorporating logical reason and existential evidence. There are an endless number of words and phrases to describe God, the one He wants us to refer to Him the most, as shown by Jesus, is father.
