  • Called To Jerusalem Sent To The World Cycle A

    $21.95

    In the broken places of our lives, when hope is lost and courage falters … in that moment God comes to those who will listen. Always he meets us in our desolation, offering us an alternative to our defeat. (from the sermon “A Chance To Live Again”

    The 17 sermons in this book are based on First Lesson texts, from six Old Testament books and the book of Acts. They follow the Revised Common Lectionary.

    “In a culture increasingly driven to receive more than it gives, self-sacrifice is less and less popular,” writes Theodore F. Schneider. “We want much, but we are willing to risk little…. We are called to join with God for good, taking the risks, carrying the cross.”

Thus they are Gods work.”

  • Times Up Cycle A

  • Vine And The Branches

    $12.95

    I am the vine, you are the branches. Those who abide in me and I in them bear much fruit, because apart from me you can do nothing. — John 15:5

    Schmalenberger takes Easter season texts from Mark, Luke and John and weaves them into eight sermons with applications for today’s Christian. Sermons cover Easter through Ascension Of Our Lord.

    In the chapter for Easter 5, the author speaks of Christ as the vine. He states that the vine and the branches’ relationship teaches us something of what our relationship to Christ is like. Whenever we forget that Christ is the heart of everything, everything goes crooked. This is true of preaching, teaching; family life, vocation — everything.

    Sermon titles include:
    * When Thomas Doubted
    * One Flock, One Shepherd
    * Chosen For Good News
    * A Prayer For Disciples

    Additional Info
    A series of insightful and Bible-centered sermons on great (and not so great) women of the Bible from the mind and pen of one of America’s great preachers. Of this series Macartney wrote: “Among the subjects of the sermons in this volume is one of the bad women of the Bible, for no series on women of the Bible would be complete without a sermon on such a character as Delilah, the temptress of Samson.

    “To preach on these biblical women is to illustrate life in its deepest reality – sometimes base, ignoble, comtemptible and wicked, but often lofty, noble, godlike, and glorious. Like the great men of the Bible, too, the great women of the Bible afford the preacher an unsurpassed opportunity to press home upon the people the claims of Christ as Friend and Redeemer.”

    In this series of thirteen sermons, Macartney uses his “sanctified imagination” and bibilcal knowledge to glean lessons from the lives of Ruth, Esther, Rahab, Lot’s Wife, Martha and Mary, Delilah, Abigail, Rachel, Rebekah, The Samaritan Woman, The Shunammite, The Woman with the Issue of Blood, and The Faithful Woman of Proverbs 31.

  • Messianic Exegesis : Christological Interpretation Of The Old Testament In

    $22.00

    The thesis of this book can be summarized as follows: “The beginnings of Christian reflection can be traced to interpretations of Israel’s Scriptures, and the major focus of that scriptural interpretation was Jesus, the crucified and risen Messiah.” Juel argues that the earliest use of the Old Testament Scripture was not to argue in behalf of the Gospel, but rather to understand the gospel, and to clarify the implications of faith in Christ for relating to Israel’s God and the world. Furthermore, he feels that the concept of Jesus as Messiah is the central guiding factor in scriptural exegesis.

  • Old Testament Theology

  • Adolf Von Harnack

    $23.00

    Adolf von Harnack was the most outstanding student of early Christianity in modern times and one of the most persuasive exponents of liberal theology. Although subsequent scholarship has strongly challenged many of his conclusions, the questions he raised remain central to much theological endeavor.

    Despite their critique of Harnack, both Karl Barth and Dietrich Bonhoeffer – two of his most eminent students – recognized the immense contribution he made to Christian theology in the modern era.

    This volume concentrates on the key texts and ideas in Harnack’s thought. It presents the essential Harnack for students and the general reader.

    Martin Rumscheidt’s introductory essay and notes on the selected texts set Harnack in his historical context, chart the development of his thought, and indicate the significance of his theology in the development of Christian theology as a whole.

    Substantial selections from Harnack’s work illustrate key themes:

    History as a science in the service of theology
    The gospel, early Christianity, and the history of dogma and the church
    The presence and influence of the ‘religious genius’ in the history of Christianity
    The religious-social imperative in the gospel and church
    The personal faith of the theologian

  • Earthkeeping In The 90s A Print On Demand Title

    $39.99

    Ever since its original publication over a decade ago, Earthkeeping has presented a thought-provoking, biblically based call for responsible stewardship. In view of the continuing environmental crisis worldside and in light of the increased ecological awareness in recent years, the book’s message regarding “earthkeeping” is now more pertinent than ever.

    This greatly revised and augmented edition of Earthkeeping updates the original edition while retaining the same breadth of perspective, reflecting the combined insights of Christian scholars in biology, physics, economics, literature, and philosophy. The book begins by laying out, with scientific precision, the state of the planet. Several chapters then carefully examine various historical and contemporary views of creation. Next the authors survey biblical and theological teaching relative to humanity’s use of creation. The book concludes by offering helpful, practical guidelines for an earthkeeping ethic.

    Besides providing an updated “state of the planet” analysis, this revised edition of Earthkeeping deals with recent cultural and religious developments, incorporating new material, for example, on the “Deep Ecology” and “new age” movements, the Gaia hypothesis, and ecofeminism. This edition also takes into account the recent wealth of Christian thinking about the earth, including the recovery of important but neglected voices from the Christian tradition, such as Hildegard of Bingen and Celtic spirituality. At the end of the book, an expanded and updated annotated bibliography, organized according to subject area, and new indexes (of names and subjects and of Scripture references) enhance the value of Earthkeeping as a significant resource fostering better human stewardship of God’s creation.

    Additional Info
    Pastoral care instruction and observation from a therapist of survivors of sexual abuse.

    “The Abuse of Power is ‘must’ reading for clergy and denominational officials…. Weaving case stories with theory, Poling demonstrates that sexual abuse of children is not a private matter, but very much a matter for society and church–a question of structure and ideology, not just of individual character. He is not afraid to tackle the tough question: Does the image of God sacrificing Jesus on the cross contribute to abusive parent-child relationships?…If pastors and church officials read this book the church will change.” –Karen Lebacqz, Pacific School of Religion

    “For the exploitation of women and children to stop, men must be willing to break ranks with all forms of privilege that sanction male dominance. James Poling does so by deconstructing his own sense of male entitlement, by refusing to distance himself from perpetrators, by allowing survivors of sexual and domestic violence to speak with their own voices, by giving us profound words of hope, and by articulating a powerfully healing theology wrought through the depths of his own struggle with one of the worst evils in our society. His courageous and compassionate work reveals the love and hope that is born of solidarity across the boundaries of gender, sexual orientation, race, and economics….The psychological, political, spiritual, and theological power of this book is such that all educators, ministers, therapists, and Christians must read it.” –Rita Nakashima Brock, Hamline University

  • Gifts From The Sea

    $18.00

    In this inimitable, beloved classic-graceful, lucid and lyrical-Anne Morrow Lindbergh shares her meditations on youth and age; love and marriage; peace, solitude and contentment as she set them down during a brief vacation by the sea. Drawing inspiration from the shells on the shore, Lindbergh’s musings on the shape of a woman’s life bring new understanding to both men and women at any stage of life. A mother of five, an acclaimed writer and a pioneering aviator, Lindbergh casts an unsentimental eye on the trappings of modernity that threaten to overwhelm us: the time-saving gadgets that complicate rather than simplify, the multiple commitments that take us from our families. And by recording her thoughts during a brief escape from everyday demands, she helps readers find a space for contemplation and creativity within their own lives.

    With great wisdom and insight Lindbergh describes the shifting shapes of relationships and marriage, presenting a vision of life as it is lived in an enduring and evolving partnership. A groundbreaking, best-selling work when it was originally published in 1955, Gift from the Sea continues to be discovered by new generations of readers. With a new introduction by Lindbergh’s daughter Reeve, this fiftieth-anniversary edition will give those who are revisiting the book and those who are coming upon it for the first time fresh insight into the life of this remarkable woman.

    The sea and the beach are elements that have been woven throughout Anne Morrow Lindbergh’s life. She spent her childhood summers with her family on a Maine island. After her marriage to Charles Lindbergh in 1929, she accompanied him on his survey flights around the North Atlantic to launch the first transoceanic airlines. The Lindberghs eventually established a permanent home on the Connecticut coast, where they lived quietly, wrote books and raised their family.

    After the children left home for lives of their own, the Lindberghs traveled extensively to Africa and the Pacific for environmental research. For
    several years they lived on the island of Maui in Hawaii, where Charles Lindbergh died in 1974.

    Anne Morrow Lindbergh spent her final years in her Connecticut home, continuing her writing projects and enjoying visits from her children and grand-children. She died on February 7, 2001, at the age
    of ninety-four.

    Reeve Lindbergh is the author of many books for both adults and children, including the memoirs Under a Wing and No More Words.
