  Raising Adam : Why Jesus Descended Into Hell

  $17.95

  Oil Lamp Books Title

  What does it mean to affirm that Jesus “descended into hell?” What actually happened to Jesus between Good Friday and Easter? Was this “descent” part of his suffering or part of his triumph? And why does it matter today?With a theologian’s research, a pastor’s heart and a poet’s sensibility, Gerrit Dawson explores the answers given through the centuries to these questions. By using a narrative approach, Dawson achieves a unique synthesis of previously competing views. He shows that the ancient idea of the harrowing of hell, the Reformed view of “hell on the cross” and the 20th century recognition of the darkness of Holy Saturday can all work together. Far from being a discardable doctrine, the descent offers a unique window on the person and work of Christ, one we urgently need to open for the worship and mission of the Church today.

  Guide To The Blessing Life

  $12.99

  God wants us to know how much he loves us. This love is not “generic.” It is, as Pastor Gerritt Dawson puts it: “specific, intense, free, passionate, delighted love! Love fitted to each one of us in our uniquely created being.” When we experience this love, we experience blessing. The Bible tells a blessing story. And in these pages we are invited to enter into that story with the Triune God. Along the way we share the journey with many others who have inspiring stories of personal and social change. This workbook will transform your relationship with God and others as you discover the unique ways that God wants to express his love for you. This 40-day guide will walk you and your group through passages of Scripture, times of prayer and simple exercises all designed to lead into the deep blessedness of life in God’s love.
