Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever thought that the work of the church you attend seems at times to be different from and in conflict with the church's mission described in the Scriptures as God's Kingdom of grace, love, justice, mercy, and reconciliation? In The Church Called to be God's Salt and Light, Dr. Shelton describes those conflicts as he has observed them for almost fifty years. He discusses the conflicts by contrasting the teachings of Cultural Religion and the teachings of Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount. Dr. Shelton invites readers to theological reflections on the life and mission to be the sald of God's justice and light of God's love in the world. He encourages the church to reclaim her life through the Spirit of Christ as the community of God's Kingdom of grace, mercy, love, compassion, and justice.

Book excerpt: Join Margaret Feinberg, one of America's most beloved teachers and writers, as she sets out on a remarkable journey to unearth God's perspective on food. What you discover will forever change the way you read the Bible--and approach every meal. This groundbreaking book provides a culinary exploration of Scripture. You'll descend 400 feet below ground into the frosty white caverns of a salt mine, fish on the Sea of Galilee, bake fresh matzo at Yale University, ferry to a remote island in Croatia to harvest olives, spend time with a Texas butcher known as "the meat apostle," and wander a California farm with one of the world's premier fig farmers. With each stop, Margaret asks, "How do you read these Scriptures, not as theologians, but in light of what you do every day?" Taste and See teaches us that: As we break bread, we find the satisfaction of our deepest hungers in the community our souls crave As we share our lives, we taste and see God's fruitfulness When we're tempted to lose heart--and we all will be--we find courage in listening to and participating in stories of God's rescuing ways In the midst of a busy life, we can all create space to taste and see God's goodness Taste and See is a delicious read that includes dozens of recipes for those who, like Margaret, believe some of life's richest moments are spent savoring a meal with those you love. See you around the table! Praise for Taste and See: "Margaret Feinberg's appetite for the feast of His grace makes you hunger for more of a fulfilling life. Read and taste the richest food for the soul!" --Ann Voskamp, bestselling author of WayMaker and One Thousand Gifts "Margaret is a storyteller who never ceases to see the beauty of the world around us. If you love God, good food, and life around the table, this book will take you on an unforgettable culinary journey through the Bible." --Jennie Allen, bestselling author of Get Out of Your Head and founder of IF:Gathering

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arnold calls us to build up a just, peaceable society motivated by love. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus puts aside his usual parables and speaks plainly in language anyone can understand. Like Francis of Assisi and others, Arnold chose to live out Jesus' teachings by embracing their self- sacrificing demands. In this collection of talks and essays, he calls us to live for the Sermon's ultimate goal: the overturning of the prevailing order of injustice. In its place, Arnold writes, we must build up a just, peaceable society motivated by love.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transform Lives and Change the Course of HistoryMany countries are facing possibly the greatest crises of their entire history. What a tragedy it would be if we Christians failed to make any positive effect on the needs of the nation in which we live! Yet victory is the destiny of God’s people. Be part of His plan to transform your life, the lives of other people, and the very life of your country. Jesus Christ never encountered a situation in which He said, “I’m sorry. There is nothing to be done.” Instead, He taught that believers are the salt of the earth and the light of the world. The world is in desperate need of change, and we are the people who must bring about that change. Best-selling author and Bible teacher Derek Prince outlines our strategic position as Christians in the world—including both our privileges and responsibilities to impact individual lives, communities, and entire nations. He provides timely teaching on how to… Take spiritual initiative in your area of influence Identify with God’s purposes and extend His kingdom in the world Wage spiritual warfare and defeat the schemes of the devil Utilize the weapons of prayer, fasting, praise, and testimony Become a history changer for a better world We have the means to alter the course of events in our cities and nations according to God’s will—transforming lives and changing the course of history.

Book excerpt: What does Scripture teach us about community? Paul writes: "If you have gotten anything at all out of following Christ, if His love has made any difference in your life, if being in a community of the Spirit means anything to you, if you have a heart, if you care--then do me a favor: Agree with each other, love each other, be deep-spirited Friends. Don't push your way to the front; don't sweet-talk your way to the top. Put yourself aside, and help others get ahead. Don't be obsessed with getting your own advantage. Forget yourselves long enough to lend a helping hand. Think of yourselves the way Christ Jesus thought of himself." Philippians 2:1-5 (The Message) Jesus came as a servant to all. We must follow His way. Jerry and Liz Maxwell have lived out the title of this book in so many beautiful ways. This slim volume is brimming with scripture that prescribes being the church in the world...and practical ways to do it! God's love shines through every page. Read the book, gather a small group together, and live life the way it should be lived! Susan Engle Spoon, personal assistant, Howard E. Butt, Jr. Foundation for Laity Renewal
