A fresh perspective on Christian singleness. Christian singles need neither more how-to books for meeting the prefect mate nor trite advice on suffering through the single life.

End Of Christian Psychology

I Was Wrong

Additional Info
The media circus gleefully trumpeted every detail of Jim and Tammy Faye’s dizzying descent from the pinnacle of the multimillion-dollar Heritage USA Retreat Center and The Inspirational Network to ignominy, impoverishment- and in Jim’s case – imprisonment.
Yet the loss of his empire, his money, his home, and his reputation in the two years leading up to his imprisonment in 1989 was only the beginning. In prison, he was to lose even more-his freedom, his sanity, his dignity, his confidence in his faith, and eventually even his wife. Inmate 07407-058, one-time confidant to presidents, had hit bottom.
In the humiliation, loneliness, and abject despair of prison, Bakker gradually began to realize that he had to dig deep and face things about himself that as a free man he had been too busy to face. What were those issues? How did he face them? How was he changed? Now for the very first time, Jim Bakker tells his own story-the glory days as a televangelist, the hostile takeover the emotional breakdown. How he got to prison, his experiences behind bars, and what he learned. Jim Bakker was wrong about many things. Exactly what they were and how he came to confess them will surprise you and inspire you. This is his story.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Gift Of Pain

THE GIFT OF PAIN
A world without pain?Can such a place exist? It not only can-it does. But it’s no utopia. It’s a colony for leprosy patients: a world where people literally feel no pain, and reap horrifying consequences.
His work with leprosy patients in India and the United States convinced Dr. Paul Brand that pain truly is one of God’s great gifts to us. In this inspiring story of his fifty-year career as a healer, Dr. Brand probes the mystery of pain and reveals its importance. As an indicator that lets us know something is wrong, pain has a value that becomes clearest in its absence.
The Gift of Pain looks at what pain is and why we need it. Together, the renowned surgeon and award-winning writer Philip Yancey shed fresh light on a gift that none of us want and none of us can do without.

Caretakers Of Our Common House
$31.99North American culture bombards girls and women with negative and demeaning images of their gender. It trains girls and women to “give themselves away” by overemphasizing their caring for others and underdeveloping their sense of voice and personal authority. Carol Lakey Hess asks in this book whether caring families and the church can make a difference in the outcome of our daughters’ development. Weaving together theological, psychological, and biblical sources, Hess examines how theologians of self-sacrifice thwart both the spiritual and the psychological development of women by subverting their necessary self-assertion. The importance of self-differentiation and cognitive autonomy and of caring and connection are discussed, using as illustrations biblical stories, excerpts from novels, and an in-depth look at eating disorders.

When Did We Lose Harriet
$18.55A teenage girl has been missing from her Montgomery, Alabama, home for six weeks. She may be a runaway, a crime victim, or both. What’s amazing is other people’s lack of concern. Just one person cares that she’s gone: a spunky amateur sleuth on the sunset end of sixty. Armed with razor-sharp insight, a salty wit, and tenacious faith, MacLaren Yarbrough follows a trail of clues — a wisp of a hint, a shadow of a lie — in search of answers to questions that come hot and fast and that grow increasingly alarming. How did a fifteen-year-old girl come across a large sum of money? Why did she hide it instead of taking it with her? Where is she now? And who is willing to kill to keep MacLaren from probing too far? Masked by Dixie charm and the scent of honeysuckle, a deadly secret lies coiled . . . one that holds the ultimate answer to the question, When Did We Lose Harriet? When Did We Lose Harriet? is the first of the MacLaren Yarbrough Mysteries, featuring plucky, sixty-some heroine MacLaren Yarbrough. Look for further books in this series in the near future.

Wesley And The Quadrilateral
$28.99Since its first appearance in the Discipline in 1972, this formulation has come to be known as the “Wesleyan Quadrilateral.” The United Methodist Church has ever since been wrestling with how best to understand, interpret, and apply the concept of the Quadrilateral. Most United Methodists think that Scripture, tradition, reason, and experience can and must be used together in some way theologically, but there is considerable disagreement among them as to how this can best be done. The authors of this volume suggest that the solution lies in a “Wesleyan reappropriation” of a Quadrilateral as “the rule of Scripture within a trilateral hermeneutic of tradition, reason, and experience.” They are convinced that Scripture is primary but argue that it cannot function in a manner that negates the other components, for Scripture cannot be read or interpreted without the meditation of tradition, reason, and experience. And they hope that this formulation, resulting from their extended conversations with each other may be the beginnings of a shared theological language with which United Methodism can face the twenty-first century.

Additional Info
Marius Reiser argues here that the theme of judgement lies close to the heart of Jesus’ proclamation. For Jesus, the certainty of the coming of judgement is the presupposition of the ultimate coming of the reign of God. Judgement and salvation are two sides of the same coin. This book offers a corrective to a one-sided emphasis on Jesus’ message of salvation – to say nothing of the picture of a noneschatological Jesus. This work, originally published in German, features a new introduction in which Reisner engages the current American discussion of the historical Jesus, particularly engaging Marcus Borg and John Dominic Crossan. Reisner goes on to offer and overview of the concept of judgement in early Jewish literature and in the preaching of John the Baptizer. He then concentrates on the teachings of Jesus, both sayings and parables. Included are excurses on important related motifs like the “divine passive” and “conversion.” Marius Reiser is Professor of New Testament at the University of Tubingen.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

How Good Do We Have To Be
$18.99From the author of When Bad Things Happen to Good People comes an inspiring new bestseller that puts human feelings of guilt and inadequacy in perspective – and teaches us how we can learn to accept ourselves and others even when we and they are less than perfect. How Good Do We Have to Be? is for everyone who experiences that sense of guilt and disappointment. Harold Kushner, writing with his customary generosity and wisdom, shows us how human life is too complex for anyone to live it without making mistakes, and why we need not fear the loss of God’s love when we are less than perfect. Harold Kushner begins by offering a radically new interpretation of the story of Adam and Eve, which he sees as a tale of Paradise Outgrown rather than Paradise Lost: eating from the Tree of Knowledge was not an act of disobedience, but a brave step forward toward becoming human, complete with the richness of work, sexuality and child-rearing, and a sense of our mortality.
Drawing on modern literature, psychology, theology,,and his own thirty years of experience as a congregational rabbi, Harold Kushner reveals how acceptance and forgiveness can change our relationships with the most important people in our lives and help us meet the bold and rewarding challenge of being human.

Makers Of Christian Theology In America
$51.99This important reference work presents critical, analytical, and interpretive essays on more than ninety figures who have been particularly important in shaping and influencing the development of Christian theology in America. The work is organized into four major sections: The Colonial Period (1607-1789); The National Period (1789-1865); The Post Civil War Period (1865-1918); and The Modern Period (1918-1970). Each section has a separate introduction by the editors tracing major theological developments in that historical period. A substantial concluding article by Martin Marty traces theological developments, trends and movements in American theology since 1965.
Each essay includes: (1) basic biographical data regarding the life, career, and major writings of the figure; (2) an analysis of the key theological issues and/or concepts to which the figure responded; (3) a critical discussion of the major theological themes developed in the course of the figure’s career; and (4) an assessment of the immediate influence of the figure’s thought and its significance for subsequent theological developments. Brief bibliographies at the end of each essay point readers to the most important and useful primary and secondary literature for each figure.
“Makers of Christian Theology is a welcome and long-needed addition to reference and textbook possibilities for courses on Religion in North America. . . . It is dramatically more inclusive and even-handed in its selection of figures for an historical orientation to theological developments in North American Christianity than any previous attempt. . . . Both the design of the book and the content of the individual essays reflect the fruit of the best current work on Christian theology in America. I recommend it highly!” –Randy L.

Watsons Go To Birmingham 1963
$8.99The year is 1963, and self-important Byron Watson is the bane of his younger brother Kenny’s existence. Constantly in trouble for one thing or another, from straightening his hair into a “conk” to lighting fires to freezing his lips to the mirror of the new family car, Byron finally pushes his family too far. Before this “official juvenile delinquent” can cut school or steal change one more time, Momma and Dad finally make good on their threat to send him to the deep south to spend the summer with his tiny, strict grandmother. Soon the whole family is packed up, ready to make the drive from Flint, Michigan, straight into one of the most chilling moments in America’s history: the burning of the Sixteenth Avenue Baptist Church with four little girls inside.
Christopher Paul Curtis’s alternately hilarious and deeply moving novel, winner of the Newbery Honor and the Coretta Scott King Honor, blends the fictional account of an African American family with the factual events of the violent summer of 1963. Fourth grader Kenny is an innocent and sincere narrator; his ingenuousness lends authenticity to the story and invites readers of all ages into his world, even as it changes before his eyes.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Natural Grace : Dialogues On Creation Darkness And The Soul In Spirituality
$15.00The chasm between science and religion has been a source of intellectual and spiritual tension for centuries, but in these ground breaking dialogues there is a remarkable consonance between these once opposing camps. In Natural Grace, Rupert Sheldrake and Matthew Fox show that not only is the synthesis of science and spirituality possible, but it is unavoidable when one considers the extraordinary insights they have both come upon in their work. Sheldrake, who has changed the face of modern science with his revolutionary theory of morphic resonance, and Fox, whose work in creation spirituality has had a significant impact on people’s sense of spirit, balance each other with their unique yet highly complementary points of view. In these inspired dialogues a variety of ancient topics–including ritual, prayer, and the soul–are freed from the past and given new power for the future in the liberated universe Fox and Sheldrake show us.

IN THE TRENCHES
When Reggie White signed with Green Bay, he was the team’s last, best hope to bring a title back to Titletown, USA. The Packers were in dire need of some serious intimidation on the defensive line and, some would argue, a little divine intervention.Three years later, the pack was back and Reggie had led them to their 1996 Super Bowl win, making believers of everyone along the way!
For Green Bay’s Reggie White, there’s not much difference between faith, football, and everything else. Whether he’s chewing up offensive linemen on his way to his place in the Football Hall of Fame, speaking out against the racism and injustice of fire-bombings in black churches including his own, or planting ministries in the tough turf of inner cities, he invests the same intensity, the same commitment of will, energy, and focus.
In the Trenches is Reggie’s own fast-paced, inspiring account of his colorful, sometimes controversial career, both in the pros and in the pulpit. Packed with insights, observations, and war stories of his twelve years in the NFL-including his championship season-In the Trenches delves into the heart of an amazing athlete who balances an array of extremes: he is both beloved and feared, tough and gentle, competitive and compassionate, fierce and generous.
Better than a front-row seat on the 50-yard line, In the Trenches is your ticket to the sights, sounds, thoughts, and emotions that surround one of America’s most popular sports and one of its most respected stars.

Living Text Of The Gospels
$98.66This book represents an important new departure in New Testament textual criticism. David Parker offers, for the first time, a different way of reading the Gospels that treats seriously the fact that they first existed as manuscripts. Through an analysis of different forms of a number of key passages, he demonstrates that the Gospels cannot be properly understood as texts without taking into consideration their physical existence as manuscripts, printed books and electronic text. In conclusion, he argues that the search for an original text of the Gospels is a misunderstanding of the way in which the early church passed down its traditions.

Pastoral Letters As Composite Documents
$160.00The authorship of the Pastoral Letters has long been a matter of intense scholarly debate. The arguments have centered on the question of whether Paul or a gifted pseudonymist composed these letters. Dr. Miller argues against both these positions, suggesting that no single author can be held responsible for much of this material. He takes the reader on a wide-ranging tour of biblical and extra-biblical sources, examining their literary histories, and concludes that the Pastorals are composite documents based on brief, but genuine, Pauline notes, written to Timothy and Titus.

Leadership Is The Key
$26.99Every clergyperson has a persona: the public role he or she assumes in performing ministry for a congregation or organization. For example, the roles of preaching, pastoring, and church administration “go with the territory” in most congregations. These tasks are part of the employment contract.
Every clergyperson also has an anima: the true inner self, reflecting deeply held ideals of conduct. Because this inner core of being controls how a pastor lives out the details of ministry, anima determines how effectively he or she fits the needs of a particular congregation or ministry role. For example, a minister who relates poorly to youth is seldom productive as a youth minister.
Listing twelve elements of the pastor’s anima mix, Herb Miller asserts that clergy are effective to the extent that the conscious and unconscious choices they make in developing each of these elements fit the needs of the congregation or church organization they serve. In Leadership Is the Key, he offers practical ways to influence these choices and maximize effectiveness in ministry.

Essays In Postfoundationalist Theology A Print On Demand Title
$38.99How and why do some of us hang on to religious faith amid the confusion of this postmodern age? How can we speak of the certainty of faith or of passionate commitments and deep convictions in a postmodern context that celebrates cultural and religious pluralism? Can Christian theology ever really claim to join this postmodern conversation without retreating to an esoteric world of private, insular knowledge claims? Finally, how does theological reflection relate to other modes of intellectual inquiry, and especially to scientific knowledge, which very often goes unchallenged as the ultimate paradigm of human rationality in our times?
This collection of essays in philosophical theology boldly addresses many of the challenges faced by Christian theology in the context of contemporary postmodern thought. Through a series of profound discussions of theology in relation to epistemology, methodology, and science, J. Wentzel van Huyssteen presses the case for a “postfoundationalist theology” as a viable third option beyond the extremes of foundationalism and nonfoundationalism.
The essays in Part 1 explore the dynamics involved when a philosophical theologian enters the interdisciplinary conversation with strong personal convictions. In the process, van Huyssteen critically engages with the work of Wolfhart Pennenberg, Nancey Murphy, and Jerome Stone. Part 2 focuses on the need for Christian theology to break out of an insularity that is concerned only with its own contemporary intellectual world. Part 3, which begins in dialogue with Gerd Theissen, turns to some of the important issues in the current theology-and-science dialogue as concrete examples of interdisciplinarity in postfoundationalist theology.
Handling abstract themes in a remarkably clear and concise way, this volume sets forth the convincing argument that only a truly accessible and philosophically credible notion of interdisciplinarity will be able to pave the way for a plausible public theology that can play an important intellectual role in our fragmented contemporary culture.

What Is Theology
$48.33From the publisher: From 1926 to 1936 Rudolf Bultmann offered an introductory course in theology, the so-called theological encyclopedia, which he continually revised and refined. The work, finally published posthumously, shows the early, combative Bultmann struggling with inherited tradition and critical of Schleiermacher, Brunner, and Troeltsch. Yet it also presents “as useful a prologomenon to his principle works as anything he subsequently offered,” says translator Roy A. Harrisville, and discusses fully the relationship of biblical interpretation and systematic theology.

3 Gospels
$19.95A decade after he published his famousfirst novel, A Long and Happy Life, ReynoldsPrice began a serious study of the Hebrew andGreek narratives which combine to form thatcrucial document of Western civilization we callthe Bible. Since early childhood, Price hadknown Bible stories of patriarchs, kings,prophets, and the boldly assertive women ofAncient Israel, as well as the four-fold gospelstory of the life of Jesus — another Jew whosecareer has exerted immense fascination onsubsequent history.
In Price’s early middle age, however, he feltcompelled to go further than simple reading;he began to investigate the rudiments ofthe Bible stories as deeply as possible. Hefocused on the Hebrew and Greek originalsthat are unquestionably the most discussedand annotated texts with the close assistance ofother literal versions and of numerous scholarlycommentaries, old and modern. He was likewiseencouraged and helped by frequent discussionswith distinguished scholar-colleagues at DukeUniversity, where he has taught since 1958.As the work continued over several years,Price expanded his translation attempts into theGreek New Testament. And soon he had begunan informal navigation of the shoals of KoineGreek — that common Mediterranean dialect inwhich a good deal of the business of the Romanempire was conducted and in which the gospelsand all other books of the New Testament werewritten. Gradually, his translations of separateincidents from the four gospels evolved into aliteral translation of the whole of the oldestgospel, Mark. His first version of Markappeared, along with other translations fromthe Old and New Testaments, in A PalpableGod (Atheneum, 1978). The book met witha wide and favorable reception from scholars,writers, and critics.
Price’s studies have expanded steadily in theintervening decades; and in recent years he hasworked at both a revised version of his earlytranslation of Mark and an entirely new literalversion of the Gospel of John (John is the last published gospel and almost surely the one thatcomes, at its core, from an eyewitness of the lifeof Jesus). To his new translations, Price hasadded extensive prefaces, which he hopes will beof interest to scholars and casual readers alike.The prefaces are the result not only of his ownwork as a translator and his discussions withNew Testament scholars of more than twentyyears reading in textual exegesis, in the life ofthe first-century Roman world (including theimmensely complicated realities of Ro

Text And Truth A Print On Demand Title
$33.99This is a print on demand book and is therefore non- returnable.
The disciplines of biblical studies and systematic theology have in modern times been practised in relative isolation from one another. Francis Watson argues that the separate development of Old and New Testament studies and systematic theology impoverishes all three disciplines and distorts the object of their study.
In the past, a ‘biblical theology’ that took seriously the theological responsibilities of the biblical interpreter was criticised by some scholars as detrimental to the practice of both the exegetical and the theological disciplines. Here Francis Watson argues for more theological involvement with exegesis and hermeneutics rather than less: biblical theology, he contends, must be practised in an interdisciplinary approach that can draw freely on the resources and perspectives of the two exegetical disciplines and of systematic theology.
The first part of the book examines particular themes in theological hermeneutics. Contemporary hermeneutical debates – such as the relationship of history-writing and fiction, textual indeterminacy, and interpretative pluralism – are engaged from an explicitly theological point of view. The second part analyses Christian theological use of the Old Testament. It advocates an approach to Old Testament interpretation in which the retrospective Christian re-reading of Jewish scripture as preparing the way for the coming of Christ is once again taken seriously.
This work builds on Francis Watson’s previous book Text, Church and World: Biblical Interpretation in Theological Perspective (Eerdmans, 1994) in advocating an approach in which biblical interpretation seeks to contribute directly to the work of Christian theological construction. It is only through this interdisciplinary approach, Watson contends, that the Bible will be interpreted in a manner consistent with its status as the holy scripture of the Christian community.

Rise Of Christianity
$18.99This “fresh, blunt, and highly persuasive account of how the West was won-for Jesus” (Newsweek) is now available in paperback. Stark’s provocative report challenges conventional wisdom and finds that Christianity’s astounding dominance of the Western world arose from its offer of a better, more secure way of life.
“Compelling reading” (Library Journal) that is sure to “generate spirited argument” (Publishers Weekly), this account of Christianity’s remarkable growth within the Roman Empire is the subject of much fanfare. “Anyone who has puzzled over Christianity’s rise to dominance…must read it.” says Yale University’s Wayne A. Meeks, for The Rise of Christianity makes a compelling case for startling conclusions. Combining his expertise in social science with historical evidence, and his insight into contemporary religion’s appeal, Stark finds that early Christianity attracted the privileged rather than the poor, that most early converts were women or marginalized Jews-and ultimately “that Christianity was a success because it proved those who joined it with a more appealing, more assuring, happier, and perhaps longer life” (Andrew M. Greeley, University of Chicago).

The author discusses the major themes in the narrative of revelation, engaging critically with four of the century’s giants in theology: Karl Barth, Paul Tillich, Karl Rahner and Carl Henry. These represent the four major phases in the narrative of revelation and Fackre addresses these alternative views in twentieth-century theology through in-depth inquiry and critical analysis. This book challenges reductionist views and strives for an ecumenical understanding that appropriates the insights from a variety of schools of thought.

Presumption Of Guilt
$17.99Beth Wright, a newspaper reporter, is hot on the trail of a story that could expose something very ugly at the St. Clair Children’s Home. Someone else is hot on Beth Wright’s trail — someone who wants to make sure her story never sees the press. Between them stands Nick Hutchins, a social worker who finds his own gut hunches about the children’s home increasingly confirmed, first by Beth’s investigation . . . Then by a high-speed attempt on her life . . . And finally, by an intruder’s startling confession. As the drama unfolds, a horrifying picture emerges of helpless children under the sway of a modern-day Fagin. Just one person holds the key that can save them: Beth herself. But using that key could cost Beth her reputation . . . If it doesn’t first cost her life.
