waters rise, washing away a community's hopes and dreams; when a child suffers neglect and abuse; when violence tears apart nations; where is God; If God is all powerful, and if each one of us is a beloved child of God, then how can God allow tragedy and suffering to infest his creation?In Why?, best-selling author Adam Hamilton brings fresh insight to the age-old question of how to understand the will of God. Rejecting simplistic answers and unexamined assumptions, he lays out core ideas for comprehending God's plan for the world, including: God will not take away our free will, even when we use it to grieve him.God will never abandon us, especially in the midst of our suffering.While God is not the author of suffering, God will bring blessing out of tragedy.

of learning experiences that will strengthen the student's understanding of the faith while connecting him or her with the community of believers in a personal way. It can be used as a stand-alone program, or in conjunction with your current curriculum as a special experiential unit. This is a confirmation program that is more like a process and less like a reading assignment, more engaging and congruent with the nature of the Christian faith than existing programs. Using an "apprenticeship" approach to confirmation Will Willimon produced a series of learning experiences where adult mentors and confirmands are both teachers and learners at the same time.This time-tested approach has been extensively revised and updated for usage in today’s churches that take seriously Christ’s command to be engaged in disciple making The bulk of the Mentor Guide is exactly the same as the Confirmand's Journal. You are encouraged to work through the activities right along with the confirmands and to complete the activities and writing assignments just as he or she does. By working along with your confirmand you will demonstrate the need to keep learning and growing.Topics explore the basics of Christian faith: •God •Jesus •the Holy Spirit •worship •the Bible •gifts •ministry •baptism •spiritual life •death and resurrection •the church

This memoir of life in the American desert by the author of The Monkey Wrench Gang is a nature writing…
classic on par with Rachel Carson&’s Silent Spring. In Desert Solitaire, Edward Abbey recounts his many escapades, adventures, and epiphanies as an Arches National Park ranger outside Moab, Utah. Brimming with arresting insights, impassioned arguments for wilderness conservation, and a raconteur&’s wit, it is one of Abbey&’s most critically acclaimed works. Through stories and philosophical musings, Abbey reflects on the condition of our remaining wilderness, the future of a civilization, and his own internal struggle with morality. As the world continues its rapid development, Abbey&’s cry to maintain the natural beauty of the West remains just as relevant today as when this book first appeared in 1968.

Sometimes the happiest and holiest time of the year is also the hardest for people to enjoy. These daily readings…
offer the skeptic, the over-committed the opportunity to make room-perhaps just enough room-for God to show up.The weeks leading up to Christmas can spark a strong spiritual longing for more. Although it may never be articulated, we sense beneath those longings is a yearning for an experience of God. These brief writings address the challenges and realities of the season and include a simple action, ritual or meditation designed to gently steer the reader toward the deeper meaning that underlies the season. Smart, witty, edgy—and always hopeful—readings by Quinn Caldwell include a brief prayer for each morning and evening during the entire Christmas season. This book takes seriously the modern person’s hunger for meaning and import in a season that feels increasingly frivolous. Includes a calendar with one easy task to do each day.

author of The Wesleyan Way, partners with his sonRev. Arthur Jones, to address hard questions that all of us face whenconsidering faith, religion, and the church. The questions include:Can only one religion be true? Why is there suffering and evil? How can I believe in science and creation? How can I believe in a God I can’t prove? Can I trust the Old Testament? Are marriage, sex, and family life religious issues? Was Jesus' resurrection real? Why do Christians disagree about so many things? The message is strong and clear: Don't let your questions stop youfrom accepting God's invitation to faith. Engage your doubt, and you mayfind you are closer to God on the other side.

followers sought to faithfully live into the reign of God as recorded in the Gospels. Dr.Henderson traces the contours of Jesus’s messiahship found in thefour Gospels, but rather than taking each Gospel in turn, she worksthematically, treating different aspects of Jesus’s mission and identityfound across the four accounts. Rather than assuming Jesus’s exclusivestatus, the author exposes Gospel evidence for the clear communalimplications of his messiahship. It turns out that the Gospels do morethan simply affirm that Jesus is the Christ; they cast a vision ofmessianic community for those who would call him Lord, in the firstcentury and beyond. This accessible introduction offers a case forChrist and community that answers perplexing questions that have longplagued NT study. "Christ and Community: The Gospel Witness to Jesus, by SuzanneWatts Henderson. One approach to understanding the Gospels as scriptureis to consider their functions—specifically, how these writings describeand reinforce essential connections between Jesus’ followers and theirLord. Written as an introductory textbook, Christ and Communitycan help even seasoned exegetes grasp the means by which the Gospels’stories depict Jesus’ work and identity in ways that equip Christiancommunities to make sense of their own work and identity."

When Christians answer the clarion call to be missional, too often it is primarily to feel good or to grow…
in their own faith. But ultimately we remain unsatisfied because, in the end, it’s still about "me"—my church, my faith, my salvation. Then sometimes inspiration dries up. We forget that Jesus is the head of the Church, which exists at God’s pleasure and disposal. God is birthing a new Social Gospel, meant to reclaim mission and justice ministries as prime directives for the Church, and not with the naive thinking of the 19th or 20th centuries. What are the characteristics of this new Social Gospel? There is an expectation that mission is "with" and not "for" others. There is an acknowledgement that tolerance is not a dirty word and we have to find a peaceable way to live in our intercultural world. It carries the Wesleyan impulse to change the world by working to build God’s kingdom in this world. It offers the grace and salvation of Christ to those in need, believing that none are free unless all are free. It means that we feed the hungry, educate to poor, and equip the powerless in tangible ways.

How does the heart understand grief when it is broken by the death of a husband or wife? To survive…
and live forward, those who grieve must find answers. Inside the Broken Heart is for anyone who has ever grieved the death of a spouse and asked 'why?' The book meets the reader at a spiritual place reserved specifically for widows and widowers. Author Julie Yarbrough survived the sudden and untimely death of her beloved husband, a prominent United Methodist minister. As a lay grief facilitator, she believes that those who seek comfort and inspiration in grief best identify with an authentic point of view. We grieve because we love, in direct proportion to the depth of our love. Spousal love is a sacred gift ordained by God, the death of husband or wife unlike any other experience of loss. The marriage vow moment 'until death do us part' forever changes those who survive. Grief cannot be understood until it is experienced. Grief is not a crisis of faith, it is a crisis of the heart. Inside the Broken Heart uses topical references from the Bible to illuminate the unfamiliar emotions and questions of grief for the surviving spouse. Because we must grieve in order to live, the book explains spiritual and practical issues of grief and suggests specific coping strategies for widows and widowers. As journey through 'the valley of the shadow of death,' Inside the Broken Heart guides the way back to fullness of life. Through rediscovery of hope, pain and sorrow are vanquished, death is rendered powerless, and grief is no more. We are healed by God's triumphant adequacy, 'He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds' (Psalm 147:3).

"A Woman Overwhelmed" is a phrase with which many women can relate. But what would happen if we could see…
the insanity in our pace and embrace our overwhelming God?There is a reason they say that a woman’s work is never done— because it isn’t! As women, we often are overwhelmed by the demands and circumstances of life, resulting in stress, fear, worry, impatience, fatigue, frustration, and even depression. The truth is that we were created to be overwhelmed . . . not by life but by God! When we learn to be overwhelmed by God, the fruit in our lives goes from rotten to fragrant—filling our days with peace, hope, love, and joy.In A Woman Overwhelmed, best-selling author Hayley DiMarco shares biblical insights and personal stories to offer a glimpse at the comedy of an overwhelmed life while encouraging us to discover the depths and heights of God’s love and power.Be empowered to find freedom in becoming overwhelmed with who God is—by learning to focus on what we know about God so that we can hold onto faith even when it seems that all is lost. For it is when an overwhelmed woman gives up the mission of me and exchanges it for the mission of God that being overwhelmed becomes a good thing.Choose to bask in the abundance of the Father instead of the abundance of life as his unfathomable depths can surely replace our fathomable messes.

our breath away." Every now and then, and more often than we realize, God breaks into the routine and gives us one of those awesome moments, so powerful, so amazing, so beautiful that time seems to stand still.How long has it been since you had one of those moments? I have had many moments like that. Some were quite dramatic, some were quite memorable, and some were just too beautiful for words. Do you remember the first time you saw the ocean, or a majestic mountain range, or a breathtaking sunset with colors so amazing that you find yourself thinking, Only God could do that!As we explore in this book some of the many different kinds of moments that take your breath away, it is my hope and prayer that we will all become more aware of and receptive to the myriad breathtaking moments that God has in store for us.—James W. Moore, adapted from the introductionContains twelve chapters plus an introduction. Each chapter of the book features a key passage of Scripture and focuses on a key theme. A study guide is included.

Christian voice in this fast-growing movement? Many Christians practice mindfulness outside of church and believe it does not belong to our faith tradition. This book reveals the Christian roots of mindfulness and the actual practices that, when reclaimed, deepen the life of faith and the power of our mission of love in the world. When we understand how radical it is to live in God’s presence right here, right now, our lives are transformed toward mercy, justice and abundant life.Amy Oden shows how the practice of Christian mindfulness begins with the teachings of Jesus and continues throughout Christian history. It also includes step-by-step instructions for the practice of Christian mindfulness today. Pastors and leaders will find this book useful on the ground as they curate current culture and guide Christians in spiritual practices." ... this is the best introduction to Christian mindfulness I have read." —Shaun Lambert, Senior Minister of Stanmore Baptist Church, United Kingdom"Amy Oden knows the history of Christian spirituality as well as anyone,and she helps us see what might seem surprising to many—thatmindfulness has deep roots in theChristian tradition. The wisdom she shares in this clear, winsome bookhas already deepened my own life of prayer. I know this book will bearfruit in classrooms andcongregations as readers heed its call to stop and pay prayerful attention to what God is doing, right here, right now."—L. Roger Owens, Associate Professor of Christian Spirituality and Ministry, Pittsburgh Theological Seminary, Pittsburgh, PA"Oden deftly lifts up a clear template for what lies at the core of allspiritual practice: mindfulness—a simple awareness within ordinary lifeof divine presence, here and now. Unlike many generic practices ofmindfulness now popular in business, education, and the fitnessindustry, Oden underscores that Christian mindfulness is not an end initself but an awareness that turns us toward God. Amy’s words become alitany of invitation into the posture of open-hearted presence to thePresence, right here, right now." (from the foreword)—Marjorie J. Thompson, author of Soul Feast: An Invitation to the Christian Spiritual Life,former Director of Pathways in Congregational Spirituality with UpperRoom Ministries, and an ordained minister in the Presbyterian church(USA)
