Along the way, you’ll discover the profound connections between biblical stories and the places they happened. You’ll see how Christians throughout history have brought their faith to life worldwide, in their own cities and communities. And you’ll find God calling you to bring your own faith to life right where you are, right now.

  What Does The Lord Require

  $16.00

  Veteran pastor and scholar James C. Howell skillfully unpacks one of the most powerful verses in the Old Testament, Micah 6:8: “What does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?” In a concise yet engaging manner, Howell illuminates the original context in which this verse was written, asking questions such as:

  Who was Micah?
  What was going on when he spoke?
  How did his listeners receive what he said-and how do we?
  Who is this God who requires?
  What might justice, kindness, and humility look like for us?

  Howell draws his readers into the original experience of the prophet’s audience, and demonstrates how Micah’s message can still guide us in our lives today.

  A Leader’s Guide is also included in this book, making it a wonderful resource for both group and individual use.

  Introducing Christianity : Exploring The Bible Faith And Life

  $22.00

  This introductory-level book on Christianity looks clearly at what the church believed and taught throughout its history. Hard questions about the Bible, theology, and the Christian life are dealt with from the perspective of faith. As author, veteran scholar, and pastor James Howell puts it, “Great hope rests in thinking through these questions, and this book wrestles with them.” Howell knows the questions people ask and is adept at answering them. In doing so, he explores what it means to live as a Christian, as part of the church community, and also what it means to live with the hope Christian faith provides, even for those who “previously believed there was no hope.” Includes study questions for discussion.

  Beatitudes For Today

  $18.00

  In this first volume of an exciting new series for laity, author and pastor James Howell takes us on an engaging exploration of the Beatitudes. Howell considers each of the well-known phrases in these passages from Matthew (Blessed are the poor in spirit . . .) and creatively applies Jesus’ teachings to our contemporary world and Christian lives.

  The For Today series will provide reliable and accessible resources for the study of important biblical texts, theological documents, and Christian practices. The series is written by experts who are committed to making the results of their studies available to those with no particular biblical or theological training. The goal is to provide an engaging means to study texts and practices that are familiar to laity in churches. The emphasis is not only on what these subjects have meant in the past but also on their value in the present-For Today. Questions for discussion are included at the end of each chapter. The books are ideal for individual study and for group study in churches. Future volumes will cover the Ten Commandments, the Psalms, the Lord’s Prayer, hymns, the Apostles’ Creed, Christian prayer, and parables.
