Prayers Of A Stranger
$17.99
She ventured to answer a stranger’s prayer, only to receive an answer to her own. Amanda Vance is ambivalent about her husband’s idea for a big family holiday up north. She had once planned a special Christmas in their own home, carefully preparing a nursery and the keepsake ornaments. Now that room stands as empty as her heart. Then a neighbor’s mishap turns into a last-minute invitation-Amanda is offered a place on a tour to the Holy Land.
At the urging of her husband, Chris, she reluctantly agrees to go. The unexpected journey leads to an even more astonishing lesson. An extraordinary turn of events allows Amanda to help answer a young mother’s plea for a healing. Filled with a sense of awe, Amanda visits the place of Jesus’ birth. There, she discovers anew the miracle of the Christ child-God incarnate as a tiny, vulnerable baby. Her return to Florida marks a momentous shift in her soul, in her calling and in her marriage. She responded to the prayer of a stranger, but will Amanda’s own prayer-to be happily surrounded by a large and loving family-ever be fulfilled?

Render Unto Caesar
$28.99Add to cartThe revered Bible scholar and author of The Historical Jesus explores the Christian culture wars–the debates over church and state–from a biblical perspective, exploring the earliest tensions evident in the New Testament, and offering a way forward for Christians today.
Leading Bible scholar John Dominic Crossan, the author of the pioneering work The Historical Jesus, provides new insight into the Christian culture wars which began in the New Testament and persist strongly today.
For decades, Americans have been divided on how Christians should relate to government and lawmakers, a dispute that has impacted every area of society and grown more rancorous over the past forty years. But as Crossan makes clear, this debate isn’t new; it can be found in the New Testament itself, most notably in the tensions between Luke-Acts and Revelations.
In the texts of Luke-Acts, Rome is considered favorably. In the book of Revelations, Rome is seen as the embodiment of evil in the world. Yet there is an alternative to these two extremes, Crossan explains. The historical Jesus and Paul, the earliest Christian teachers, were both strongly opposed to Rome, yet neither demonized the Empire.
Crossan sees in Jesus and Paul’s approach a model for Christians today that can be used to cut through the acrimony and polarization roiling our society and dividing us.
