Shifting Allegiances in the Assemblies of God

By Alexander, Paul

$26.95 01 Jan 2009 Paperback Pandora Press U. S.

Once the Pentecostal peace witness extended throughout the movement and around the world-but was eventually muted and almost completely lost in the American Assemblies of God. This book, which is "gripping, powerful, and prophetic," says Amos Yong, tells the story of that shift. "The antiwar, Christian, pacifist sentiments of the Assemblies of God that Alexander describes . . . juxtaposed in close proximity to their pro-war and anti-pacifist passion and identification with America . . . is simply striking," comments J. Denny Weaver, in the C. Henry Smith Series Editor's Foreword. The implications, observes Cheryl Bridges Johns, Professor of Christian Formation and Discipleship, Church of God, "are worth examining by all traditions asking, 'Will our children have faith?' At the same time, mentions Harvey Cox, Hollis Professor of Religion, Harvard Divinity School, Alexander's narrative "suggests that Pentecostals may yet reclaim this invaluable element of their heritage."

Finally Alive

01 Jan 2009 00:00:00 GMT

By John Piper

$14.99 01 Jan 2009 Paperback Christian Focus Publications Ltd

Why is the church so ineffectual and characterised by the mosaic generation as unchristian? The term born again has been devalued both in society and in the church. Recent social studies surveys have shown that those who regard themselves as born again Christians have the same tendency to divorce as people who arent Christians at all! In these surveys, being born again is defined by what people say they believe. The New Testament defines Christians very differently. Piper defines new birth biblically and helps us to embrace the reality of it. I hope that showing that the new birth is not in our control helps make pastors and other Christians desperate for the supernatural in their ministries. John Piper

In her teaching role, she shows us how to trust in Gods providential working in our own lives, just as she trusted in God when she completely abandoned herself to his will in her own life. In her role as advocate, she has compassion on all her children as she intercedes for us. Apostoli uses numerous anecdotes and stories to engage his readers as he helps Catholics gain a deeper appreciation of Marys active and loving presence in their lives.

God's Plan for Happiness

By Fastiggi, Robert L.

$19.95 01 Jan 2009 Paperback Our Sunday Visitor

Despite the outcome of a world wounded by sexual exploitation and addiction, there is room for hope through the reasonableness and goodness of Catholic sexual morality. Beginning with a thorough survey of the Church's historic attitude toward human sexuality, author Robert Fastiggi proceeds to discuss five contemporary "hot buttons" of sexuality: pornography, masturbation, homosexuality, fornication and cohabitation, and marital chastity. He goes on to cover sexual sins in a realistic and compassionate manner ?????? taking note of both human weakness and the power of God's grace. In a practical and pastoral manner, Fastiggi shines the comprehensive yet clear light of Church teaching on this complex, confusing, and often culturally ambiguous topic. Includes an introduction by renowned Catholic bioethics scholar and professor Janet E. Smith and a useful appendix that summarizes key Church documents on sexual morality.

A woman who has learned to forgive offenses we can hardly imagine teaches us to free ourselves from the anger and resentment that chains us to those who hurt us, including our own selves.

In Radical Forgiveness she shares with us what she has learned about life's most difficult, and most healing, virtue.

Radical Forgiveness is rooted in the life of Jesus, saints, and people living today. It offers us freedom from the awful, angry, unforgiving thoughts that gnaw at our consciousness, burn us, haunt us, and won't let us go until we let them go. This wise book offers freedom and peace and a leap into gratitude!

Following Jesus into Radical Loving

By Huston, Paula

$21.95 01 Jan 2009 Hardback Paraclete Press (MA)

Forgiveness is central to Christianity in a way that is not found in other faiths. Not only does Christ ask his followers to forgive unreservedly, but he declares that their very salvation depends upon it.

Still...let's be honest...we don't forgive easily. Forgiving those who hurt us and others can be agonizingly difficult. And forgiveness can be murky business. Is it always right to forgive? If we forgive those who do serious wrong, are we in danger of perpetuating evil?

This insightful book breaks new ground, examining the intellectual, psychological, social and spiritual meanings of forgiveness. Paula Huston asks tough questions and then offers possible solutions, explaining what it might mean to be a forgiving person. She writes with honestly, even sharing forgiveness stories from her own life.

Includes exclusive interviews with some of today's top Bible scholars, including Dr. Craig Blomberg, Dr. Darrell Bock, Dr. Gary Habermas, and Dr. N.T. Wright. Together they point to remarkable and convincing evidence that affirms the Bible's integrity and reliability.
