New Vision For An Old Story
$22.99Add to cartWhen Anne Robertson asked a bunch of people on the street what came to mind when they heard the word Bible, she was met with a flood of mixed responses–words like wisdom, lies, faith, rules, ancient history, bigotry, poison, and many more.
What she realized was that we all read the Bible through filtered lenses, according to our varied expectations of what the Bible is or should be. But, says Robertson, the Bible as a whole is primarily God’s story–a story of relationship, community, and love.
Robertson’s New Vision for an Old Story gives readers the right lenses to see beyond the printed page to the God who encounters us in dynamic relationship and transforms our lives. The very nature and message of Scripture are rooted in incarnation. When we need to navigate community, truth, fear, and suffering, the Bible– God’s own story–can guide us through it all.

God With Skin On
$20.95Add to cartJesus responds to the question about the greatest commandment with two Old Testament commandments.The first, known to Jews as the “Shema,” says that we should love God with all our heart, all our soul, and all our strength. The second, to love our neighbor as ourselves. They are parallel commands and, in Jesus’ eyes. Matthew 25–that “when you have done it to the least of these you have done it to me,” makes the same point: loving God and loving each other are the same thing.
In a culture where relationships are often divisive and exploitative, and where the call to love enemies seems impractical, this book offers the reminder we are interacting with God as we engage every relationship.
This book examines relationships of intimacy, authority, rivalry, and otherness-to show how learning to love within those relationships affects our relationship with God.
