Vanishing Grace What Ever Happened to the Good News? Philip Yancey

In this important and compelling new book, New York Times bestselling author Philip Yancey explores what may have contributed to hostility toward Christians, especially Evangelicals, and offers illuminating stories of how faith can be expressed in ways that disarm even the most cynical critics.

Summary

Why does the church stir up such negative feelings? Philip Yancey has been asking this all his life as a journalist. His perennial question is more relevant now than ever. Research shows that favorable opinions of Christianity have plummeted drastically—and opinions of Evangelicals have taken even deeper dives. So what’s so good about the ‘Good News? In his landmark book, What’s So Amazing about Grace, Yancey issued a call for Christians to be as gracefilled in their behavior as they are in declaring their beliefs. He now aims this book at Christians again, showing them how they have lost respect, influence, and reputation in a newly postChristian culture. Exploring what may have contributed to hostility toward Evangelicals—especially in their mixing of faith and politics instead of embracing more gracefilled ways of presenting the gospel—Yancey offers illuminating stories of how faith can be expressed in ways that disarm even the most cynical critics. Then he explores what is Good Ne...

Philip Yancey serves as editoratlarge for Christianity Today magazine. He has written thirteen Gold Medallion Awardwinning books and won two ECPA Book of the Year awards for What's So Amazing About Grace? and The Jesus I Never Knew. Four of his books have sold over one million copies. Yancey lives with his wife in Colorado. Website: www.philipyancey.com

Before Amen The Power of a Simple Prayer Max Lucado

We all pray . . . some. We pray to stay sober, centered, or solvent. When the lump is deemed malignant. When the money runs out before the month does. When the marriage is falling apart. We pray. But wouldn't we like to pray more? Better? Stronger? With more fire, faith, and fervency? Yet we have kids to feed, bills to pay, deadlines to meet. The calendar pounces on our good intentions like a tiger on a rabbit. And what about our checkered history with prayer? Uncertain words. Unmet expectations. Unanswered requests. We aren't the first to struggle with prayer. The first followers of Jesus needed prayer guidance too. In fact, prayer is the only tutorial they ever requested. And Jesus gave them a prayer. Not a lecture on prayer. Not the doctrine of prayer. He gave them a quotable, repeatable, portable prayer. Couldn't we use the same?

Keep It Shut What to Say, How to Say It, and When to Say Nothing at All Karen Ehman

With a kind, encouraging, and sometimes funny delivery, seventime author, blogger, and member of the Proverbs 31 Ministries national speaking team Karen Ehman addresses women and words—how we talk to each other and ourselves, in writing or out loud—and when it’s good to say nothing at all.

Let’s face it: Every woman from Bible times to modern times sometimes struggles with her words. What to say and how to say it. What not to say. And what to do when she says something she wishes she could take back. In Keep It Shut, a woman whose mouth has gotten her into loads of trouble shares the how’s and why’s of dealing with the tongue. Turning to scriptural insights and her own stories, Karen Ehman shows readers what the Bible says about when to speak, why great words start with great listening, wisdom for using words in social media, why “just sharing a prayer request” might be gossip, how to use words effectively at work and home, and why selftalk matters too. Words have the power to build up and the power to destroy. Using them well leads to healthier relationships, less stress, and fewer regrets. Best of all, it leads to the joy of seeing what God can do when he’s the one who speaks up.

Aloof Figuring Out Life with a God Who Hides Tony Kriz

"God, are you there?" is a near universal cry of the human heart. We have all longed for God to be tangible. Some might sway to worship music, others go on missions, others fast from food. The universal quest is to feel the divine . . . and yet the divine seems aloof, even shy. In this narrativedriven book, Tony Kriz leads the reader on a journey of "orchestrated epiphanies" along the eternal quest to tangibly encounter God, including the unpredictable moments that give us hope, and even more so, the long gaps between those moments that challenge our faith. Written in an authentic, conversational style, Aloof is easily accessible to those who don't know much about the Bible, yet the message is still theologically informed and culturally relevant. This book will help you process how God acts uniquely towards us, depending upon each stage of life. The chapters include contemporary reallife stories that normalize the experience of an often hidden God, while also aiding the reader to ackno...

Tony "The Beat Poet" Kriz has an earned doctorate in spiritual formation. He is a teacher of faith and culture through the mass media, via social media, and at universities, conferences, churches, seminars, and other speaking engagements. He pastors an imbedded community of lifeservants in one of Portland's most culturally diverse neighborhoods. Tony and his wife Aimee have three sons.

Jesus Prom Life Gets Fun When You Love People Like God Does Jon Weece, Bob Goff

Do we love people like Jesus loves them? Jesus loved verbs. He loved action words such as live, come, rest, learn, hear, give, go, and even die. Wouldn't it make sense that the people who claim to follow Jesus would love the same words Jesus loved? Unfortunately, somewhere along the way someone tried to make the word Christian an adjective. So now people speak of "Christian" books and "Christian" music and "Christian" schools. When people use the word Christian as an adjective instead of a noun, the word loses its meaning. Maybe this explains why so many churches have lost their purpose. In Jesus Prom, Jon Weece explains how our goal as Christians is to become increasingly more like Jesus. Jesus loves people, which means we should love people the way Jesus loves them: through action. Live, care, give, golove the way Jesus does.

Jon Weece is the lead teaching pastor at Southland Christian Church, a community of 14,000 Christfollowers in Lexington, Kentucky. Prior to Southland, Jon was a missionary to Haiti for four years, where he met his wife, Alli. They have two children.

Rise Get Up and Live in God's Great Story Trip Lee

Society says youth is a time for carefree selfexpression, but Trip Lee says God has called young adults to RISE from slumber, above low expectations, and to live for the risen King. The world tells us that our early years in life are to be merely enjoyed rather than devoted to serious, meaningful pursuits. We're told that responsibility and commitment are burdens to be put off as long as possible. As a result, most young people remain in a sad state of slumbersleeping in on life until forced to get up. The problem is that life has already begun. God created us for so much more than life as usual. And living an abundant life is a privilege. In this powerful book, Trip Lee argues it's time to wake up and RISE, to live the way we were created to live. Young or old, we're real people now, and we've been called to live for him. Right now. Young believers face the same problems as older Christians, but we feel them in unique ways. RISE addresses those core problems in a profound, galvanizi...

The Skeletons in God's Closet The Mercy of Hell, the Surprise of Judgment, the Hope of Holy War Joshua Ryan Butler

How can a loving God send people to hell? Isn't it arrogant to believe Jesus is the only way to God? What is up with holy war in the Old Testament? Many of us fear God has some skeletons in the closet. Hell, judgment, and holy war are hot topics for the Christian faith that have a way of igniting fierce debate far and wide. These hard questions leave many wondering whether God is really good and can truly be trusted. The Skeletons in God's Closet confronts our popular caricatures of these difficult topics with the beauty and power of the real thing. Josh Butler reveals that these subjects are consistent with, rather than contradictory to, the goodness of God. He explores Scripture to reveal the plotlines that make sense of these tough topics in light of God's goodness. From fresh angles, Josh deals powerfully with such difficult passages as:

What Am I Supposed to Do with My Life? God's Will Demystified Johnnie Moore

Is there only one perfect answer? For nearly two thousand years too many Christians have embraced a lie. The lie is cast in spiritual tones and seems, on the surface, to be innocent enough. Yet, it's a lie so deceptive that even the most pious believe it without knowing it, and its widespread practice has robbed the world of a thousand types of good that would have been hers had Christianity followed God's path. It's a lie so clandestine that it has weaved its way in and out of Christian history nearly undetected. It's a lie so sinister that it has robbed millions of people of their souls.

Summary

What is the lie? It is that "God's will" is hard to find. It isn't. In What Am I Supposed to Do with My Life?, author Johnnie Moore provides spiritual direction and clear guidance on the most frequent question that he is asked as the campus pastor at a Christian university with over 100,000 students. It is crucial information for all ages but especially those in their 20s and 30s who are seriously concerned...

Johnnie Moore is an author, pastor, advisor, professor of religion, and a vice president of Liberty University, the world's largest Christian university. He serves on the board of World Help, leads North America's largest weekly gathering of Christian young people, and has worked in more than two dozen nations, effecting change in some of the world's most desperate places.

52 Little Lessons from Les Miserables Bob Welch

Gold Medallion Awardwinner Bob Welch crafts 52 nuggets of Biblebased Summary

wisdom from one of the most popular novels, musicals, and films of all time: Les Misérables. In 52 Little Lessons from Les Misérables, Bob Welch walks readers through Hugo's masterpiece, extracting dozens of uniquely spiritual reflections from this enduring portrait of poverty, social injustice, mercy, and redemption. Welch reminds us that Jean Valjean's life provides the truest example of why real love is found in the grittiest places, and that hearts are made whole beneath the crush of mercy. Most important, though, Welch keeps returning to the intersections of faith and reality throughout Hugo's writingthose places where mercy becomes an inroad to the heart, and where love is only truly received when it is given without condition. Discover again why life's purpose is found not in attending to personal needs and desires, but in responding to the hearts of others.

Bob Welch is the author of seventeen books, an awardwinning columnist, a speaker, and an adjunct professor of journalism at the University of Oregon in Eugene. His articles have been published in inspirational books, including the popular "Chicken Soup for the Soul" series.

No Greater Valor The Siege of Bastogne and the Miracle That Sealed Allied Victory Jerome R. Corsi

Jerome Corsi's newest opus, No Greater Valor, examines the Siege of Bastogneone of the most heroic victories of WWIIwith a focus on the surprising faith of the Americans who fought there. In December of 1944, an outmanned, outgunned, and surrounded US force fought Hitler's overwhelming Panzer divisions to a miraculous standstill at Bastogne. The underdogs had saved the war for the Allies. It was nothing short of miraculous. Corsi's analysis is based on a record of oral histories along with original field maps used by field commanders, battle orders, and other documentation made at the time of the military command. With a perspective gleaned from newspapers, periodicals, and newsreels of the day, Corsi paints a riveting portrait of one of the most important battles in world history.

Jerome Corsi has written and coauthored many books and articles, including the #1 New York Times bestseller, Unfit for Command (Regnery, 2004). Corsi is the founder of the Iran Freedom Walk. He has appeared on Fox News and MSNBC regarding Iran, as well as in hundreds of radio interviews. He lives in Denville, New Jersey.

Frederick A Story of Boundless Hope Frederick Ndabaramiye, Amy Parker

"My God won't let me do that." These seven words of boundless hope would irreversibly change the life of the teenage boy who spoke them. On April 7, 1994 the life of Frederick Ndabaramiye and his family changed forever as the Rwandan genocide erupted in their homeland. As Frederick faced the genocidaires, he noted the machete that hung from the right hand closest to him; he wondered if his would soon be added to the layers of dried blood that clung to the blade. Either way, young Frederick knew that he wouldn't be able to carry out the orders just given to him, to raise that blade against the other passengers of the bus, regardless of the race marked on their identity cards. That bold decision would cause Frederick to lose his hands. But what the killers meant for harm, God intended for good. The cords that bound him served as a tourniquet, saving his life when his hands were hacked away. This new disability eventually fueled Frederick's passion to show the world that disabilities do not ...

Frederick Ndabaramiye is a Rwandan genocide survivor and cofounder of the Ubumwe Community Center, an organization that helps "people like me" to discover their purpose and abilities in spite of their circumstances. After losing his hands in postgenocide conflicts, Frederick lived in the Imbabazi Orphanage, where he met Zachary Dusingizimana. Together they founded and operate a community center ...

How does wealth affect your friendships, marriage, and children? How much is "enough"? There's a lot of bad information in our culture today about wealthand the wealthy. Worse, there's a growing backlash in America against our most successful neighbors, but why? To many, wealth is seen as the natural result of hard work and wise money management. To others, wealth is viewed as the ultimate, inexcusable sin. This has left a lot of godly men and women honestly confused about what to do with the resources God's put in their hands. God's ways of handling money caused them to build wealth, but then they're left feeling guilty about it. Is this what God had in mind?
