Conceiving the Christian College $28 “This book is designed to help those who are interested in Christian higher education explore anew the unique features, opportunities, and contemporary challenges of one distinct type of educational institution – the Christian college. What distinguishes Conceiving the Christian College from the many other books on this subject is its incisive discussion of a set of crucial ideas widely misunderstood in the world of Christian higher education. Now serving in his eleventh year as president of one of the nation’s foremost Christian colleges, Duane Litfin is well placed to ask pressing questions regarding faith-based education. What is unique about Christian colleges? What is required to sustain them? How do they maintain their bearing in the tumultuous intellectual seas of the twenty-first century? Litfin’s themes are large, but they are meant to refocus the conceptual challenges to Christian education in ways that will strengthen both the academic environment of today’s Christian colleges and their impact on culture at large.”

A Christian and Separated? $14.99 “God hates divorce, yet He is not against separation as a temporary measure of mending differences. Experiencing a separation myself, I had first-hand encounters with attitudes, traditions, and misconceived philosophies in the church that bordered on condemnation rather than supporting restoration. A Christian and Separated uncovers these ingrained attitudes and beliefs in an effort to bring guidance, hope and encouragement to suffering marriages. It also urges a transformation of the position many Christians take when encountering a fellow believer struggling with a marital relationship. Although there are a lot of great books on Christian marriage, few come from the author’s personal experience and fewer address the disparaging reaction from Christians towards fellow believers that are struggling with this issue. My prayer is that many will benefit from this work reflecting on my personal recovery experiences from the front seat of the marriage separation and divorce roller coaster. Doug Cook has been a strongly devoted Christian since 1987 and a dedicated and seasoned bible teacher for over 10 years. He has a thorough knowledge of the bible and a vast amount of experience guiding other believers with focus and direction in their specific area of ministry. Doug’s desire to support fellow believers spiritual growth drove him to begin a home church in 2002, which led to the establishment of Emerald Ministries in 2003, a ministry to ministries, focused on assisting other Christian organization with their start up, accounting, business acumen, and more importantly spiritual oversight and accountability. In 2004 he resigned his position at a large corporation to answer God’s call to be infull time ministry. Later the same year he received his assignment from God to be an elder in the body of Christ with a call to a five fold ministry office.”

Christian Life: Patterns of Gracious Living $15.95 “”Christian Life” is a wonderfully balanced presentation of how to live a happy Christian life within the family, the church and in society at large. Chant writes there are differences in the various ways people live and think, in temperaments, and ways of responding to God. Yet this diversity leaves people free to love and serve God joyfully. (Christian Living)”

The Oxford Companion to Christian Thought $75 “Embracing the viewpoints of Catholic, Protestant, or Orthodox thinkers, of conservatives, liberals, radicals, and agnostics, Christianity today is anything but monolithic or univocal. In The Oxford Companion to Christian Thought, general editor Adrian Hastings has tried to capture a sense of the great diversity of opinion that swirls about under the heading of Christian thought. Indeed, the 260 contributors, who hail from twenty countries, represent as wide a range of perspectives as possible.> Here is a comprehensive and authoritative (though not dogmatic) overview of the full spectrum of Christian thinking. Within its 600 alphabetically arranged entries, readers will find lengthy survey articles on the history of Christian thought, on national and regional traditions, and on various denominations, from Anglican to Unitarian. There is ample coverage of Eastern thought as well, examining the Christian tradition in China, Japan, India, and Africa. The contributors examine major theological topics such as resurrection, the Eucharist, and grace as well as controversial issues such as homosexuality and abortion. In addition, short entries illuminate symbols such as water and wine, and there are many profiles of leading theologians, of non-Christians who have deeply influenced Christian thinking, including Aristotle and Plato, and of literary figures such as Dante, Milton, and Tolstoy. Most articles end with a list of suggested readings and the book features a large number of cross-references.> The Oxford Companion to Christian Thought is an indispensable guide to one of the central strands of Western culture. An essential volume for all Christians, it is a thoughtful gift for the holidays.”

Becoming A Contagious Christian $8.99 “Releasing the hidden evangelist in every Christian — Picture all of your church members as evangelists who: Demonstrate a contagious Christian character . . . Build spiritually strategic relationships . . . Direct conversations toward matters of faith . . . Communicate their faith in a style that’s personal and natural . . . Explain biblical truths in a style that’s personal and natural . . . Explain biblical truths in everyday language . . . Respond to the most common objections to Christianity. Becoming a Contagious Christian is a proven course designed to equip believers for effective evangelism in today’s world. It avoids stereotyped approaches that feel intimidating to many Christians. Instead, it shows ordinary believers how they can share the Gospel in a natural and powerful way while being the person God made them to be. Each session’s exercises, discussions, self-assessments, and video vignettes give step-by-step guidance to help participants become effective communicators for Christ to those around them. There’s even a section on everyday answers that will help believers respond to difficult questions regarding Christianity. Field-tested with over 5,000 people at Willow Creek Community Church — a church known worldwide for its dynamic evangelistic outreach — Becoming a Contagious Christian is an innovative and unparalleled program for training Christians in relational evangelism. Becoming a Contagious Christian works with any size group, from small groups of 4-9 to Sunday school classes and other large groups of 10 to 150 or more.”

Music in Early Christian Literature $44 “This book provides a collection of some 400 passages on music from early Christian literature – New Testament to c. 450 AD – newly translated from the original Greek, Latin, and Syriac. As there are no musical sources of the period, music historians must rely upon remarks about music in literary sources to gain some knowledge of early Christian liturgical music. This volume makes a large and representative collection of the material conveniently available. The passages are arranged chronologically and regionally in eleven chapters with brief commentary. An introduction sets out the major subjects and themes of the original source material.”

Foundations of the Christian Faith $14.99 “Today, teenagers in church often have no concrete idea why they are Christians or what it really means to be a Christian. Statistics report large numbers of young people reject their faith as they move into college and adulthood. Many Christian books for children present Bible stories illustrating the power of Christian faith. Unfortunately, few talk about faith in a way that makes Christianity personal, yet are written so children and young teens can understand. Foundations of the Faith presents many of the basic doctrines of the Christian faith, beginning with sin and salvation, then continuing with relationships and responsibilities of a born-again believer. Finally, the book presents instruction on Christ and the Church. Geared for children ages 9-13, this book can be an effective tool, assisting young people to gain maturity in their Christian life. Alan R. Noble is a born-again Christian, schooled in the Word since childhood. He was very fortunate to sit under capable preaching and teaching throughout his life. His passion for the spiritual welfare of children grew out of his years of work experience, and his understanding of the Scriptures. He understands that children need to be instructed in the meat of the Word as well as the milk (Hebrews 5: 12-14). Mr. Noble was educated at William Paterson University, a liberal arts institute in northern New Jersey, and received a B.A. in education, with a certificate to teach elementary school. Later, he received an M.A. in Communication Arts, and a certificate in supervision. He worked as a teacher and coordinator before retiring after 31 years in public education. Currently, he and his wife spend winters in San Antonio, Texas, where hehas worked for several years in Christian education.”

The Bookends of the Christian Life $14.99 “>The authors use an extended metaphor to serve up a little book with a big message about two essentials of the Christian life. >What do bookends have to do with the Christian life? They are a metaphor that Jerry Bridges has developed over the years, and which he and coauthor Bob Bevington amplify in this small volume. The two “bookends” explain not only how we as sinners can be made acceptable to a holy God but also how we can find the power to change. They are thus essential for the Christian life. >In a unique book that should garner the attention of a wide range of readers, the authors use their extended metaphor to help readers answer questions like: How can I overcome persistent guilt? How can I deal with the pressure to measure up? Where can I find the motivation it takes to grow? How can I live the Christian life with both my head and my heart? How can I be sure God loves me? How can I change in an authentic and lasting way? >So what are the bookends of the Christian life? The first is Christ’s righteousness transferred to dependent believers, and the second is the Holy Spirit’s transformative power. All the “books” of our lives are held safe and secure between these two bookends. >In continuing their goal to re-center the church at large onto the historic gospel of Jesus Christ, Bridges and Bevington have served up this little book with a big message so that believers and seekers alike can understand these two keys to a genuine Christian life.”

Christian Life Profile Assessment Tool $12.99 “This resource helps Christians evaluate their beliefs, practices, and virtues in order to develop a plan for spiritual growth in a small group setting. Includes catalogue of additional resources.From the Back CoverThis comprehensive discipleship tool kit enables churches to assess the Christian beliefs, practices, and virtues of each member to help everyone grow.

Community That is Christian: A Handbook on Small Groups $25 “Over the past thirty years there has been a boom in small groups, both in society at large and within the church. From Bible studies to MOPS to Alcoholics Anonymous, it is estimated that four out of ten Americans belong to a small group that meets regularly for the care and support of its members. But are these groups creating true, biblical community, or do they settle for self-focus and personal gain? Julie Gorman has studied small groups for decades and presents her analysis, insights, and suggestions in Community That Is Christian, an essential resource for building community in church-based small groups. This comprehensive book serves both as a text for those who equip leaders or lead small groups and as an interactive manual for small-group members, helping them transform their relationships into Christ-centered community. The book begins with biblical support for coming together, contrasting it with our often individualistic mind-set that undermines community. Gorman then sets forth the goals of community and describes the process of transformation. She draws from extensive research to address the why and the how of small-group ministry, giving special attention to gender and cultural distinctions. Community That Is Christian provides readers with charts, discussion questions, and inventories to further help them establish community within their small groups.”

Body Piercing Saved My Life: Inside the Phenomenon of Christian Rock $16.95 “”Body Piercing Saved My Life” is the first in-depth journalistic investigation into a subculture so large that it’s erroneous to even call it a subculture: Christian rock. Christian rock culture is booming, not only with bands but with extreme teen Bibles, skateboarding ministries, Christian tattoo parlors, paintball parks, coffeehouses, and nightclubs, encouraging kids to form their own communities apart from the mainstream. Profiling such successful Christian rock bands as P.O.D., Switchfoot, Creed, Evanescence, and Sixpence None the Richer, as well as the phenomenally successful Seattle Christian record label Tooth & Nail, enormous Christian rock festivals, and more, “Spin” journalist Andrew Beaujon lifts the veil on a thriving scene that operates beneath the secular world’s radar. Revealing, sympathetic, and groundbreaking, “Body Piercing Saved My Life” (named for a popular Christian rock T-shirt depicting Christ’s wounds) is a fascinating look into the hearts and minds of an enormous, and growing, youth culture.”

Christian America?: Perspectives on Our Religious Heritage $14.99 “Throughout her history America has possessed a rich religious component largely comprised of different traditions of the Christian faith. This tide of personal religious devotion connected to government observances and policies has ebbed and flowed through time, but it has always been a part of American identity–one that is full of social and political debate. As such, “Christian America?” presents a hearty point-counterpoint discussion about the nature of the relationship Christianity has had to American politics and culture throughout the country’s existence, aiming to determine which of these four differing opinions is most appropriate. >David Barton (WallBuilders) supports the idea that America is distinctly Christian based on centuries of authoritative government declarations. >Jonathan D. Sassi (College of Staten Island) believes America is distinctly secular based on the nation’s religiously eclectic and secular beginning (particularly the emphasis on “the complete separation of church and state”). >William D. Henard (The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary) sees America as essentially Christian, making his case for the nation’s crucial faith component while exploring varied interpretations of comments like one made in 2009 by President Barack Obama: “Although… we have a very large Christian population, we do not consider ourselves a Christian nation…” >Daryl C. Cornett, the book’s editor, argues that America is partly Christian, a nation that was shaped by a blend of religious and non-religious tendencies. He writes, “After the Civil War steady decline in religious adherence was the impetus for evangelicals to mythologize American history and pine for a return to a golden age of Christian faith and virtue at its founding that never existed.”"

One Nation Under God?: An Evangelical Critique of Christian America $25 “Is America a Christian nation? This question has loomed large in American culture since the Puritans arrived on American shores in the early seventeenth century. More recently, the Christian America thesis has been advocated by many evangelical leaders across the denominational spectrum. This book contributes to the conversation by critiquing, from an evangelical perspective, the idea that America is a Christian nation as articulated by specific writers over the past three decades. Wilsey asserts that the United States was not conceived as a Christian nation, but as a nation with religious liberty. Herein lies the genius of the Founders and the uniqueness of America.”

Interrupting Tradition: An Essay on Christian Faith in a Postmodern Context $30 “Not so long ago it would have been fair to say that the Catholic Church and the Catholic faith determined human life and social existence, more or less unquestioned, in Flanders and in a large part of Western Europe. The Catholic faith community in Flanders today, however, is struggling with the fact that the transmission of the Christian tradition has been flagging in recent years. This has not only led to diminished faith engagement and a massive decline in church attendance, it has also had its effects in the cultural domain: culture has become de traditionalized; traditional’ Christian culture is worn out. Even convinced Christians are having problems reflecting on the plausibility of their faith, precisely because of the chasm that has opened up between faith and culture. >The author of the present study argues that every new context challenges the Christian tradition to recontextualise its presentation of meaning and purpose in a cogent and credible fashion. Christians today do themselves a disservice when they withdraw into a world of absolute self-justification. At the same time, however, the author avoids any form of appeal for an extensive adaptation to the postmodern context. Only a new dialogue between tradition and culture, respectful of (and indeed thanks to) the growing division between both, can claim to offer a future.>In the first part of the book the author provides a pithy description of the vicissitudes of the Christian tradition in modernity and postmodern. Against this background, he attempts to clarify the situation in which the Christian tradition finds itself today. The second part of the book is devoted to an analysis of the actual context with a viewto establishing points of intersection on the basis of which the dialogue between faith and culture might be revivified. The third part of the book endeavors to provide this contextual and theologically motivated, prior to being invited by the author into a reopened reflection on God. The volume concludes by drawing renewed attention the place of the Christian faith in relation tot the other world religions. >The results of Boeve’s study reveal that Christians so indeed have the capacity to reflect on the their faith in a credible and relevant manner in relation to the actual context to which they find themselves and without relapsing into the extremes of traditionalism or relativism.”

The Future of Hope: Christian Tradition Amid Modernity and Postmodernity $24 “Over the last three decades a major cultural shift has taken place in the attitudes of Western societies toward the future. Modernity’s eclipse by postmodernity is characterized in large part by the loss of hope for a future substantially better than the present. Old optimism about human progress has given way to uncertainty and fear. In this book scholars from various disciplines – theology, the social sciences, and the humanities – explore the move from a “culture of optimism” to a “culture of ambiguity,” and they seek to infuse today’s jaded language of hope with a new vitality. The Future of Hope offers a powerful critique of today’s stifling cultural climate and shows why the vision of hope central to Christian faith must be a basic component of any flourishing society. The first section of the book sets the context with telling cultural criticism of modernity. The second section focuses on affinities between premodern Christian visions of hope and twentieth-century thought. The final section of the book examines the relationship between postmodern thought, Christian tradition, and biblical hope, addressing how Christians in a postmodern world can best articulate their faith. Written by truly profound thinkers, these chapters are diverse in their content, methodologies, and temperament, yet they are united by a deep engagement with both the Christian tradition and the larger cultural and intellectual climate in which we live and work. The Future of Hope can thus be read not just as an attempt at retrieval of hope for today but as itself one small act of hope in an age when people too seldom take time to think critically and hopefully.

Pentecostalism and the Future of the Christian Churches: Promises, Limitations, Challenges $26 “In a world marked by suffering and poverty, traditional forms of Christianity have been unable to speak effectively to the experiences and needs of the poor. In the midst of this reality, Pentecostal movements have sprung up in Third World countries and are growing at a remarkable pace. This book by an American theologian and a Brazilian sociologist attempts to understand Pentecostalism as a religious movement among the poor. Bringing theological reflection in dialogue with well-documented social analysis, Shaull and Cesar show why Pentecostal movements represent the emergence of a new form of Christian faith and life in response to impoverishment and marginalization. They also explore the potential these movements hold for transforming unjust economic, social, and political structures, and they discuss what the church at large can learn from the Pentecostal experience.”
