What if we really believed that God is love? What if we really believed that God is patient, and kind, and humble, forgiving and accepting? What if we really believed that God asks us to be patient, and kind, and humble, forgiving and accepting toward God and toward the people in our lives? How would the world look if all of us who claim to be Christian just took that one, simple idea and made it the foundation of our lives? Would the world be a different place? Would the Church look the same? These are a few of the many questions Father R. Joseph Owles asks himself and his readers.A SHEEP AMONG WOLVES: One Man's Stubborn Commitment to the Idea That GOD IS LOVE is a collection of meditations (called “Blessays”) centered on that one, simple idea that God is love. Some of these Blessays are meditations on daily lectionary readings, some are the result of passing thoughts, and some are based on conversations and questions asked by others, as well as questions posited by Father R. Joseph Owles himself.Father Owles asserts .that if God is love, then love is not what God does, Love is what God is! If we really believe that God is really love, then whatever we do in the name of God must be done with love because if it is not done with love, then it is not done for God – who is love. If God is love, then Kingdom of God is really the Kingdom of Love; Jesus Christ is really the Son of Love; and we are all the People of Love.This is theology at its best – down to earth, accessible, practical, and applicable. It is a must read for all who strive to live as a faithful disciple of Jesus Christ regardless of church affiliation or tradition.

Jesus came to seek and to save the lost, paying particular attention to the downtrodden and the poor. As followers of Jesus, Christians are called to imitate his example and reach out to those who have the least. This book offers biblical guidelines and practical strategies for reaching those on the margins of our society with the gospel of Jesus Christ. The authors—both pastors with years of experience ministering among the poor—set forth helpful “dos” and “don’ts” related to serving in the midst of less-affluent communities. Emphasizing the priority of the gospel as well as the importance of addressing issues of social justice, this volume will help pastors and other church leaders mobilize their people to plant churches and make an impact in “hard places”—in their own communities and around the world.

Originally published in 1975. In Mountain Sheep and Man in the Northern Wilds Valerius Geist, a renowned scientist, sensitive observer, and natural storyteller here recounts his experiences among, and reflections upon, the magnificent bighorned sheep of the Canadian wilderness, where he lived and worked year 'round. The book presents popular science in the best sense -- beautifully written, unmistakably accurate, innovative and thought provoking. In the book, Dr. Geist focuses on cold climates to study animal behavior and its implications for man. He makes valuable contributions to our knowledge about aggression and dominance and offers new insights into the impact of ecological factors upon the anatomy, physiology and behavior of man as well as beast. He looks critically at the role of early and modern man as hunter and tells delightful stories about his own adventures in working with big-game animals. His splendid photographs capture his enthusiasm for the land and the sheep. Finally, he ponders the lessons that urban man can learn from zoological theory so that he may better live within his ecological means. "To the names Fraser Darling, Murie, Schaller, Carpenter and Goodall must now be added Geist." Science "This book is about wilderness, animals and people. These subjects are woven together in a way that will curl your toes. Geist is an excellent writer; he has a probing mind a tempered wit and an ability to convey a total experience. Be sure to read this one." Frontiers. "Geist writes surpassingly well." Canadian Field Naturalist "This is a very well written book that will intrigue the most ingenious thinker. It reflects originality and provides accurate and interesting reading to anyone interested in wild animals." Journal of Wildlife Management "This book is immensely thought provoking." Mammal Review Valerius Geist is a graduate of the University of British Columbia, where he also received his Ph.D. He is professor emeritus of environmental science at the University of Calgary.
