How to Pray When You're Pissed at God: Or Anyone Else for That Matter
by Ian PunnettWhen things really go wrong, what do you do with the feeling that God is to blame? A popular Coast to Coast radio host (and Episcopal clergy) provides some answers. In a first of its kind book, Ian Punnett provides a spiritual path for expressing your rawest emotions through prayer and how to rebuild a relationship with one's higher power--or anybody else in your life. In this important and practical book, Ian Punnett provides insight on feeling anger and resentment toward God and offers advice on how to deal with the pain and blame that accompanies these emotions. In a book that is edgy, timely, funny and compassionate, Punnett presents real help in everyday language for transforming the negativity of anger into a positive and useful force that will ultimately help us pray more effectively, bring us closer to God, enhance our spiritual relationship, and change the way we live and love others. After a divorce, a broken friendship, the death of a loved one, the loss of a job or even the accumulation of all the tiny cracks in our spirit from life's disappointments, it's easy to feel pissed at God. When anger is left unchecked, it is harmful to our minds, bodies and souls. "How to Pray When You're Pissed at God is not "the last word" on angry prayer," Punnett writes, "but it might be the first words you have ever heard on the topic. By the end of the book, it is my hope that you'll understand the role of anger in our lives, the benefit of honest prayer, and the need for honest, angry prayer in the lives of the faithful and faithless."

Kennedy, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.,Prathia Hall, and the Moral Monday Movement, along with musicians and other artists of today. Moral imagination helps the hearer to see what they cannot see, to hear what they cannot hear--to inhabit the lives of others, so that they can embody Christ and true freedom for those others. This book equips and empowers preachers to transcend their basic skills and techniques, so that their proclamation of the Word causes actual turnaround in the hearts and lives of their hearers, and in their communities."Frank Thomas has written apassionate summons: amid the current destructive chaos of our societythere is an urgent need for moral imagination. Such imagination is theantithesis of "diabolic" and "idolatrous" imagination that is all to thefore in our public discourse and practice. Thomas fleshes out "moralimagination" with close reflection on the practice of Robert F. Kennedyand Martin Luther King. Before he finishes Thomas shows how the urgencyof "moral imagination" belongs peculiarly to the work of the preacher.This book is a welcome call for gospel-grounded courage and truth aboutthe neighbor issued in a way that refuses the self-serving fakery thatdominates our public life." --Walter Brueggemann, Columbia Theological Seminary"Timely and prophetic, How to Preach a Dangerous Sermonpresents a homiletic essential for our churches today. Thomas insiststhat it is up to the preacher to recapture and reclaim the moralimagination of our nation so that the Gospel’s message of freedom istrue for all people. With attention to specific figures whose witnessmodels the qualities and characteristics of moral imagination, Thomasinspires the preacher toward powerful proclamation that both challengesand critiques any speech that subjugates or subordinates. How to Preach a Dangerous Sermonis must read for preachers to recover and reimagine the leadership roleof the church for the sake of justice for all." --Karoline M. Lewis,Associate Professor of Biblical Preaching and the Marbury E. AndersonChair of Biblical Preaching, Luther Seminary; author of She: Five Keys to Unlock the Power of Women in Ministry."In this lucid and compelling book, Frank Thomas plumbs the depths ofAmerican moral rhetoric for insights that will help preachers. How to Preach a Dangerous Sermonprovides new and dramatic ways in which the moral imagination in ademocratic society can be nurtured by visionary, empathic, wise, andartistic preachers."--John S. McClure, Charles G. Finney Professor of Preaching and Worship, Vanderbilt Divinity School"Warning: Preachers, if you are comfortable with the status quo ofwhite privilege, patriarchy, hetero-normativity, and classism, do notread this book. If you are comfortable with sermon series that reducethe gospel to self-help acronyms, don’t read this book. But if you havethe courage to look honestly at our landscape and bring the moralimagination of the Christian tradition to bear on it, open these pagesand your sermons may never be the same again. But then again neitherwill the church--or the world--be the same anymore, if enough of usfollow Thomas’s advice." --O.

How to Prove There Is a God
by Mortimer Adler Ken DzuganOne of the great tasks of Mortimer Adler's illustrious life was his search for a watertight proof of the existence of God. Adler believed that his search had been successful.Adler spent years studying the classic proofs of God's existence, especially Aquinas's Five Ways, and found shortcomings in all of them, as conventionally understood. But he thought that some of them contained ideas which, if properly developed, could be improved, and he continued to search for a satisfying and logically unassailable proof. Toward the end of the 1970s, he believed he had arrived at such a proof, which he presented in his historic work, How to Think about God (1980). In the writings assembled in How to Prove There Is a God, Adler gives us his approach to the question of God's existence in fresh and popular form. He defends his position against critics, both believers and skeptics. The book includes a transcript of one of Adler's appearances on William Buckley's Firing Line, Adler's revealing interview with Edward Wakin, the exchange of views on natural theology between Adler and Owen Gingerich, and John Cramer's eloquent argument that the trend of modern cosmology supports Adler's early struggles with the question of God's existence.
