Pursuing Contentment : 12 Lessons
$14.99
All too often, our lives fall short of the expectations we’ve set, and our happiness seems just out of reach. We are disappointed by the people in our lives, or the decisions we made, or how we reacted to something, or the goals we failed to meet. All this disappointment can work its way into our hearts-and when that happens, we lash out and vent our disgruntled feeling over life’s unfairness. In short, we complain about our situation and fail to see all the blessings God has given us. In this study, readers will examine how contentment is something that can be learned. They will look at what the Bible says about being content in all circumstances, how they can overcome bad habits of complaining, and how they can allow God to cultivate a heart of thankfulness within them.

Render Unto Caesar
$28.99Add to cartThe revered Bible scholar and author of The Historical Jesus explores the Christian culture wars–the debates over church and state–from a biblical perspective, exploring the earliest tensions evident in the New Testament, and offering a way forward for Christians today.
Leading Bible scholar John Dominic Crossan, the author of the pioneering work The Historical Jesus, provides new insight into the Christian culture wars which began in the New Testament and persist strongly today.
For decades, Americans have been divided on how Christians should relate to government and lawmakers, a dispute that has impacted every area of society and grown more rancorous over the past forty years. But as Crossan makes clear, this debate isn’t new; it can be found in the New Testament itself, most notably in the tensions between Luke-Acts and Revelations.
In the texts of Luke-Acts, Rome is considered favorably. In the book of Revelations, Rome is seen as the embodiment of evil in the world. Yet there is an alternative to these two extremes, Crossan explains. The historical Jesus and Paul, the earliest Christian teachers, were both strongly opposed to Rome, yet neither demonized the Empire.
Crossan sees in Jesus and Paul’s approach a model for Christians today that can be used to cut through the acrimony and polarization roiling our society and dividing us.
