DOWNLOAD EBOOKFrom the bestselling author of All Creation Waits — a beautiful book for Lent. Pangolins and polar bears, olms, lemurs, and leopards. We share this planet with creatures magnificent, delicate, intricate—and now vanishing at a faster rate than at any other time in Earth’s history. Spend Lent with twenty-five of these endangered animals. Vivid descriptions of the miracle of each creature and the peril it faces will fill readers with wonder and grief at what these animals suffer on a planet shaped by human choices. Their true and difficult stories will wake readers to a greater compassion—which is what Lent, meaning “springtime,” has always been for. These stories also wake in us a wild hope that from all this death and ruin something new could rise. The promise of Lent is that something new will rise. In fact, as these stories attest, our hope, though wild, is not impossible and is already loose in the world. "Wild Hope is the only book whose table of contents alone gave me chills. Here’s the deal: the living world, life on planet Earth, is sacred. Author Gayle Boss yearns to show us that we live in a miracle. And she succeeds in showing us that we are not alone on this holy planet. This is a beautifully elegant, deeply excellent book, pursued by grace on every page, in every stunning illustration." —Carl Safina, ecologist, NYT bestselling author of Beyond Words and Becoming Wild; MacArthur Fellow and founder of The Safina Center

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIt can no longer be assumed that most people--or even most Christians--have a basic understanding of the Bible. Many don't know the difference between the Old and New Testament, and even the more well-known biblical figures are often misunderstood. It is getting harder to talk about Jesus accurately and compellingly because listeners have no proper context with which to understand God's story of redemption. In this basic introduction to faith, D. A. Carson takes seekers, new Christians, and small groups through the big story of Scripture. He helps readers to know what they believe and why they believe it. The companion leader's guide helps evangelistic study groups, small groups, and Sunday school classes make the best use of this book in group settings.
Human Consciousness of God in the Book of Job

DOWNLOAD EBOOKHuman Consciousness of God is the first commentary on the book of Job to trace Job's relationship with God in a work of universal sprituality. The most important - and unique - element in Jeffrey Boss' approach is his examination of Job from a psychological perspective. However the work also takes into account the history of interpretation of the book, giving due attention to questions surrounding the text's coherence, authorship and provenance. It is, at the same time, a valuable new commentary on the Hebrew Masoretic Text of Job. The book opens with an introduction enabling those unfamiliar with the book of Job, or with recent scholarship to appreciate it and engage with it. Then follows the full commentary which draws attention to the development of Job's character and his relationship with God. Finally the author presents his conclusions following the work together with a detailed bibliography.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKGod-Haunted World is a provocative presentation of a neglected part of Jonathan Edwards's theology. In a world in which for all practical purposes Christians often see nature the same way their secular neighbors do-as a machine operating according to impersonal mechanical laws-Edwards's worldview is relevant and timely. The universe has not only been created by God; it is literally kept by the power of God every nanosecond and it scintillates with revelation and insight for those who have eyes to see. Edwards's world is a place where there is no mute fact-everything, from insects to elephants, from molecules to mountains, has a story to tell. Moreover, if God were to withdraw his sustaining power, all of created reality would collapse into nothingness-every second is a divine dance between creation and nothingness-and the present world is an incredible tribute to God's faithfulness or in the words of the refrain of Psalm 136: his unfailing love. Drawing on the resources of Scripture, Church history, Edwards's writings, and other creative Evangelical theologians, God-Haunted World makes a compelling case for a renewed appreciation of our natural world. God-Haunted World is a visual exploration of the nexus between Scripture and Nature in the theology of Jonathan Edwards. Methods of data visualization and associative thinking have been used to illustrate the vast network of Edwards's emblematic thought.
