Gods Plan For Man
$47.00Add to cartGOD’S PLAN FOR MAN
Throughout nearly sixty years of ministry, Finis Jennings Dake passionately pursued the literal truth of Scripture. God’s Plan for Man contains the very heart of his life’s work.
Originally designed as a correspondence course, God’s Plan for Man is equivalent to a three-year Bible college program. As such, it is highly interactive, intended for serious study.
In this comprehensive volume, Dake unfolds the plans and purposes of God from the eternal past to the eternal future, exploring the details of biblical prophecy and the privileges of life in Christ. He systematically discusses the nature of the Bible, principles of biblical interpretation, the Trinity, and much more. Yet God’s Plan for Man isn’t filled with a lot of dry information appealing only to the intellect. Rather, Dake writes with a pastor’s heart. His aim is to encourage faith.

Longing For Community
$21.99Add to cartUnderstanding the strength and unity of the ummah- the worldwide Muslim community-and its role in an individual’s identity is essential in comprehending the struggles that Muslims undergo as they turn to faith in Jesus Christ. It has been a place of security, acceptance, protection, and identity; turning away from it entails great sacrifice. Where, then, will Muslims who choose to follow Jesus find their longing for community fulfilled: ummah, church, or somewhere in between?
Longing for Community compiles the research and reflection of twenty missiologists, sociologists, anthropologists, and linguists-among them Muslims who have become believers in Jesus Christ- presented at the second Coming to Faith Consultation in February 2010. The contributors explore the multiple levels and hybrid nature of social identity, pointing to the need to free our discussions from single- dimensional scales, which are far from adequate to describe the complex nature of conversion and lived-out faith. Beyond the issue of identity, the contributors offer important lessons from mission history, explore liturgy as an appropriate vehicle for teaching, discuss appropriate means of communication, and point to both the need and contextually appropriate possibilities of greater involvement of women in training and ministry.
