  Matthew And John

  $14.00

  The Cotton Patch Gospel recasts the stories of Jesus and the letters of Paul and Peter into the language and culture of the mid-20th century South. Born out of the Civil Rights struggle, these now classic translations of much of the New Testament bring the far-away places of Scripture closer to home: Gainesville, Selma, Birmingham, Atlanta, Washington, D.C.

  As Jordan once wrote, “While there have been many excellent translations of the Scriptures into modern English, they still have left us stranded in some faraway land in the long-distant past. We need to have the good news come to us not only in our own tongue but in our own time. We want to be participants in the faith, not merely spectators.”

  Substance Of Faith

  $26.00

  To read The Substance of Faith is once again to experience Clarence Jordan at his best: the flashing witt that could illuminate even as it entertained, the blazing concern that knew how to lay its burden on the heart of even the causual listerner, the biting irony that pierced shame and pretense, the depth of spirit that saw fresh meaning in the most familar passage of Scripture. With in the pages of this book, you’ll discover the basic themes of Clarence Jordan’s life: “Incartational Evangelishm”, the “God Movement” and his prophetic insight into the enemies of authentic faith, such as Mammon. Dallas Lee has brought all this together from what Clarence Jordan siadn in the pulpit, classroom and lecture hall.
