Last Addiction : Why Self Help Is Not Enough
$19.00
Everyone loves something or someone too much-a person, substance, activity, or ideology. But self-help gurus, programs, and books stop short with 12 steps on how to live beyond the addiction. Today’s culture leads people to believe that if they try harder or do more or live enough they can manage desires-run-out-of-control. But that is a myth. Self-help is the last addiction.
There is hope and help beyond the 12 steps, the programs, and the messages from the self-help gurus, asserts Sharon A. Hersh in this groundbreaking book. Looking at various addicts’ stories, Hersh shows how only enough love, grace, and redemption answers the desires that trap people.
The Last Addiction helps readers recognize their longing for intimacy. It invites them to love boldly and receive love in return. And it gives the hope every addict-and those who love them-need for lasting freedom and abundant life.

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.
