When The Fairy Dust Settles
$19.99
As young girls we all believed in fairy tales. We dreamed of happily-ever-afters, sure that our futures were blessed. And then we grew up. And had to deal with the real world and what happens-.When the Fairy Dust Settles
If you’ve ever struggled to reconcile childhood dreams with reality, you’re not alone. Now national radio talk show host Janet Parshall and her daughter take on the myths of youth and place them squarely against the concerns every woman faces. With candid insights-whether agreeing or respectfully disagreeing-mother and daughter set their sights on issues both lighthearted and serious. Discover why real life often is the best story as Janet and Sarah answer your questions on:
*Beauty-What the world considers beautiful is very different from God’s vision of our self-worth. Where do short skirts and plastic surgery fit in?
*Perfectionism-The fairy-tale view of life leads to sure frustration. Can we compare “the perfect life” with the true contentment God wants for us?
*Relationships-Family life is fulfilling and stressful. Must we give up part of ourselves in order to be “good” wives and mothers?
*Sex-The S word is part of our lives. But in what ways does our world differ drastically from the one God envisions for us?
Entertaining, engaging, and always thought-provoking, WHEN THE FAIRY DUST SETTLES is an enlightening look at what it really means to live a Christian life in an often complicated world.

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.
