DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn his well-received Christless Christianity Michael Horton offered a prophetic wake-up call for a self-centered American church. With The Gospel-Driven Life he turns from the crisis to the solutions, offering his recommendations for a new reformation in the faith, practice, and witness of contemporary Christianity. This insightful book will guide readers in reorienting their faith and the church's purpose toward the good news of the gospel. The first six chapters explore that breaking news from heaven, while the rest of the book focuses on the kind of community that the gospel generates and the surprising ways in which God is at work in the world. Here is fresh news for Christians who are burned out on hype and are looking for hope.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAt the age of 22, Neal Tew had questions. Raised nominally Catholic and now a recent Harvard graduate, he wondered whether faith in God could withstand intellectual and existential scrutiny. He wondered whether God really existed. He earned an undergraduate minor in the Comparative Study of Religions and wrote an Honors Thesis on Anglican priest and poet George Herbert. But those studies did not bring him the certitude he sought. While taking graduate classes in Theology in Paris, Neal discovered two new monastic orders in France. Here he found the key that had eluded him. These men and women were staking their lives upon the tenets of the Christian faith. The intellectual positions they held were backed up by real sacrifices and intense life commitments. Theirs was a faith lived out in the day to day. A faith that brought Neal close in spirit to the shores of Galilee.Neal decided to drop his nets and follow the monastic way of life. To learn, as best he could, from the monks. He would ultimately spend three years in different monastic communities, observing their way of life, living their life and documenting it in photographs that offer an intimate look into the daily experience and practice of a monk. In the end, Neal's journey led him to enter the novitiate of one of the monasteries where he lived. A novitiate is the extended period of training and learning offered to young people who think they may have a vocation to become a monk. Neal's journey took him there and back again. What he learned has relevance for all of us. This book tells the story. Three years among the monks.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKPreviously published in hardcover as King's Cross The most influential man to ever walk the earth has had his story told in hundreds of different ways for thousands of years. Can any more be said? Now, Timothy Keller, New York Times bestselling author of The Prodigal Prophet and the man Newsweek called a “C. S. Lewis for the twenty-first century,” unlocks new insights into the life of Jesus Christ as he explores how Jesus came as a king, but a king who had to bear the greatest burden anyone ever has. Jesus the King is Keller’s revelatory look at the life of Christ as told in the Gospel of Mark. In it, Keller shows how the story of Jesus is at once cosmic, historical, and personal, calling each of us to look anew at our relationship with God. It is an unforgettable look at Jesus Christ, and one that will leave an indelible imprint on every reader.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA revealing look at how user behavior is powering deep social divisions online—and how we might yet defeat political tribalism on social media In an era of increasing social isolation, platforms like Facebook and Twitter are among the most important tools we have to understand each other. We use social media as a mirror to decipher our place in society but, as Chris Bail explains, it functions more like a prism that distorts our identities, empowers status-seeking extremists, and renders moderates all but invisible. Breaking the Social Media Prism challenges common myths about echo chambers, foreign misinformation campaigns, and radicalizing algorithms, revealing that the solution to political tribalism lies deep inside ourselves. Drawing on innovative online experiments and in-depth interviews with social media users from across the political spectrum, this book explains why stepping outside of our echo chambers can make us more polarized, not less. Bail takes you inside the minds of online extremists through vivid narratives that trace their lives on the platforms and off—detailing how they dominate public discourse at the expense of the moderate majority. Wherever you stand on the spectrum of user behavior and political opinion, he offers fresh solutions to counter political tribalism from the bottom up and the top down. He introduces new apps and bots to help readers avoid misperceptions and engage in better conversations with the other side. Finally, he explores what the virtual public square might look like if we could hit "reset" and redesign social media from scratch through a first-of-its-kind experiment on a new social media platform built for scientific research. Providing data-driven recommendations for strengthening our social media connections, Breaking the Social Media Prism shows how to combat online polarization without deleting our accounts.
