The Christian gospel, says Brueggemann, is too easily preached and heard. Too often technical reason and excessive religious certitude reduce the gospel to coercive, debilitating pietisms that mask the text's meaning and freeze the hearers heart. With skill and imagination, Brueggemann demonstrates how the preacher can engage in daring speech?differently voiced and therefore differently heard. This speech, as suggested by the Bible itself, is "poetic" speech, enabling the preacher to forge communion in the midst of alienation, bring healing out of guilt, and empower the hearer for "missional imagination." As an alternative to theological/homiletical discourse that is moralistic, pietistic or scholastic, Brueggemann proposes preaching that is artistic, poetic, and dramatic. The basis for the 1989 Lyman Beecher Lectures at Yale Divinity School, Finally Comes the Poet is a unique and transforming guide for powerful preaching.

Finally Broken is born out of personal experiences-from child abuse, spousal abuse, multiple marriages, and addiction to alcohol and prescription drugs-that author Rena Montford encountered throughout her lifetime. Never admitting to having it all together, but using her own personal struggle as a way for readers to relate, Rena's book invites readers to bring order to their own existence by inviting God's control over every segment of their lives. The content is raw and honest, and offers help and hope to those who wonder if they have out-sinned God's grace, or if their life circumstances have set them aside from being used by God. Is there a way back? Having reached the point of being Finally Broken, God has inspired the writing of Rena's life so that those who do not know Him in the fullness of His power might believe and trust Him when all other resources they sought have failed.

From a VICE magazine columnist, “a deeply entertaining—if occasionally horrifying” (Joshua Piven, coauthor of The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook) look at how humanity is likely to weather such happenings as nuclear war, a global internet collapse, antibiotics shortages, and even immortality. If you live on planet Earth you’re probably scared of the future. How could you not be? Some of the world’s most stable democracies are looking pretty shaky. Technology is invading personal relationships and taking over jobs. Relations among the three superpowers—the US, China, and Russia—are growing more complicated and dangerous. A person watching the news has to wonder: is it safe to go out there or not? Taking inspiration from his virally popular VICE column “How Scared Should I Be?,” Mike Pearl games out many of the “could it really happen?” scenarios we’ve all speculated about, assigning a probability rating, and taking us through how it would unfold. He explores what would likely occur in dozens of possible scenarios—among them the final failure of antibiotics, the loss of the world’s marine life, a complete ban on guns in the US, and even contact with extraterrestrial life—and reports back from the future, providing a clear picture of how the world would look, feel, and even smell in each of these instances. For fans of such bestsellers as What If? and The Worst Case Scenario Survival Handbook, The Day It Finally Happens is about taking future events that we don’t really understand and getting to know them in close detail. Pearl’s “well-researched speculations induce daydreams and nightmares and mark [him] as one of his generation’s most interesting writers” (Alec Ross, New York Times bestselling author).

Finally, enough is enough! Do you wonder if you will ever find freedom from the shame, bitterness, resentment, and brokenness that you carry around with you every day? Do you wonder if anyone will truly love you the way that God loves you? Do you believe that you can live a victorious life free from fear, from always looking over your shoulder, or wondering how you are going to make it through today? If you said yes to one of these or all of these, then you have picked up the right book. It is time to say, "Finally, enough is enough." It is time to believe that you are worth much more than a punching bag, and you deserve to be loved, feel loved, and be free to live a victorious life. We all have wounds of many different sizes that have shaped us into who we are, and that is not how God sees us. Our past does not define us. Through God's grace and forgiveness, we are set free from our past. If you have dealt with sexual, physical, emotional, verbal, spousal, spiritual abuse, or abandonment, all of this will affect you as a child and then alter the way you think, act, and feel as an adult. It will rob you of the life that God intended you to live. God does not expect us to live a life full of abuse that would bound and cripple us from a life of freedom. In Finally, Enough Is Enough, Amber shares her story with you, explaining how she broke free from thirty-eight years of abuse. At the age of thirty-eight, she finally had an aha moment--a moment that she realized she is worth much more and deserves much more. She dug in deep and broke free from all the lies by healing her heart, letting go of the hurt, and learning the true meaning of forgiveness. Amber is no longer living her life as a victim; rather, she is living a victorious life that God intended her to live. The purpose of telling her story is to help guide you to freedom and true happiness, to help break you from living as a victim and embrace living a victorious life.

Like many of you, this year started out with great promise for prosperity. An international health crisis was not in anyone's plan. This was to be a year of grinding, promoting, and launching, as well as further defining our message of not giving up on the possibilities of first marriage, second chances, and endless love. Instead, we were offered a much-needed chance to slow down and talk to each other about our story and purpose. What did God really have in mind for our union when we said, "I do...again"? My first marriage? My husband's second? What aspects of our relationship did we still need to strengthen? We never want to present to readers that we are a perfect pair or the ultimate power couple. We always want to be transparent with ourselves first and honest with those we encounter. Marriage is hard work but worth the investment. Our story, thus far, has taught us many lessons and personal observations that we want to add to the ongoing conversation about finding happiness and contentment. No, we are not marriage experts. We are humble students of marriage. Sometimes our outcomes are funny and, in other instances, quite poignant. As we emerge from quarantine, we pray that our journey finds its way to your reading nook, date night, study group or book club. Most of all, we hope our internal work makes an enjoyable read, causes you to giggle a lot, creates a tear or two, and becomes a source of inspiration to tackle the "finallys" and "agains" in your own relationships, whatever they may be. -Marq and Bev Redmond

With death looming, Jacques Derrida, the world's most famous philosopher, known as the father of "deconstruction," sat down with journalist Jean Birnbaum of the French daily Le Monde. They revisited his life's work and his impending death in a long, surprisingly accessible, and moving final interview. Sometimes called "obscure" and branded "abstruse" by his critics, the Derrida found in this book is open and engaging, reflecting on a long career challenging important tenets of European philosophy from Plato to Marx. The contemporary meaning of Derrida's work is also examined, including a discussion of his many political activities. But, as Derrida says, "To philosophize is to learn to die"; as such, this philosophical discussion turns to the realities of his imminent death--including life with a fatal cancer. In the end, this interview remains a touching final look at a long and distinguished career. From the Trade Paperback edition.
