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.

Have you realized that the responsibility to guard against deception is placed on us as believers? Jesus admonished us to take heed that no one deceives us. Unfortunately, deception in the Church today has reached an alarming proportion that even the very elect can be deceived. Today, we have many false prophets, apostles, pastors, teachers, and evangelists who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves seeking to devour the gullible. Jesus said by their fruits you shall know them. This book reveals the fruits of these ravenous wolves and a true life confession of a pastor who was under this deception until the Lord delivered him to expose how some ministers of the gospel are operating under the power of mermaid spirits. My heart desire is that this book will be an immense help to the Church in these Last Days and prevent many from being deceived by the seducing spirits of Antichrist at work.

God commands us to be good stewards of His creation and the resources with which He entrusts us. To do so, we must understand the laws of the world in which we live and minister. It is simply bad stewardship to do otherwise.Most ministers are aware of the church's increasing role as a target. Simultaneously, the law has become more complex than ever and it is difficult for attorneys, much less staff members with other demands on their hands, to maintain the church on steady legal footing. This book raises legal issues which should merit your personal consideration, discusses whether or not your church is doing what it should do to protect itself and its members, and provides a general reference for those in the church who are responsible for its legal affairs.

Celebrated for its commitment to independence and fearless individualism, America in fact dismisses independent thinkers and nonconformists in favor of the team player, the company man, and the go-along-to-get-along mentality. This anti-intellectual mindset despises and discredits those who are solitary and reclusive. While we look up to literary loners like Poe and Melville and Dickinson, the man in the street is a compulsive joiner of clubs, and herds from university frats to the Order of the Pink Goat. To the contrary, this book is a paean vigorously endorsing America''s lone wolves, cultural hermits, and all such independent thinkers, solitary and marginalized figures, who are the cultural bedrock of the nation that detests them.

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.

The publication of the King James version of the Bible, translated between 1603 and 1611, coincided with an extraordinary flowering of English literature and is universally acknowledged as the greatest influence on English-language literature in history. Now, world-class literary writers introduce the book of the King James Bible in a series of beautifully designed, small-format volumes. The introducers' passionate, provocative, and personal engagements with the spirituality and the language of the text make the Bible come alive as a stunning work of literature and remind us of its overwhelming contemporary relevance.
