Unexpected Love : Gods Heart Revealed In Jesus Conversations With Women
$19.99
God’s heart for women is revealed through a captivating study of the gospels.
A first look at the conversations recorded between Jesus and women can be rather disconcerting. Where is the loving Savior in his demand for the hemorrhaging woman to make her embarrassing ailment public? How could a man of compassion call the Syro-Phoenician woman a dog? Why would he address his mother “Woman” and refuse to help her? Do these conversations and others depict a Savior who was insensitive and even dismissing to women in general?
Unexpected Love offers solutions gleaned from historical, cultural, and contextual sources, resulting in an interpretation that reveals a fresh perspective and the sometimes surprising truth. It moves the reader past the usual shallow interpretations to find the heart of Christ.

7 Last Words
$18.99Add to cartBased on his talks at New York’s St. Patrick’s Cathedral on Good Friday 2015, the New York Times bestselling author and editor at large of America magazine offers a portrait of Jesus, using his last words on the cross to reveal how deeply he understood our predicaments, what it means to be fully human, and why we can turn to Christ completely, in mind, heart, and soul.
Each meditation is dedicated to one of the seven sayings:
*”Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.”
*”Today you will be with me in Paradise.”
*”Woman, this is your son” . . . “This is your mother.”?
*”My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”?
*”I thirst.”?
*”It is finished.”?
*”Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.”With the warmth, wisdom, and grace that infuse his works, Father James Martin explains why Jesus’s crucifixion and death on the cross is an important teaching moment in the Gospels. Jesus’s final statements, words that are deeply cherished by his followers, exemplify the depth of his suffering but also provide a key to his empathy and why we can connect with him so deeply.
