The Remarkable Ordinary: How to Stop, Look, and Listen to Life
by Frederick BuechnerYour remarkable life is happening right here, right now. You may not be able to see it – your life may seem predictable and your work insignificant until you look at your life as Frederick Buechner does.Based on a series of mostly unpublished lectures, Frederick Buechner reveals how to stop, look, and listen to your life. He reflects on how both art and faith teach us how to pay attention to the remarkableness right in front of us, to watch for the greatness in the ordinary, and to use our imaginations to see the greatness in others and love them well.As you learn to listen to your life and what God is doing in it, you will uncover the plot of your life’s story and the sacred opportunity to connect with the Divine in each moment.
The Remarkable Record of Job: The Ancient Wisdom, Scientific Accuracy, & Life-Changing Message of an Amazing Book
by Dr Henry M. MorrisFar from being an engaging fable, the account of Job in the bible is one of the most historically and scientifically accurate records of the ancient world. Perhaps the oldest book in the Bible, the book of Job touches on many subjects of science and history. This commentary on the controversial Book of Job is very different from most of the seminary and church teachings so prevalent today, for it attests to the historicity of a man named Job who understood at the end of his life that God cannot be ?figured out,? but He can most certainly be trusted.

The Remarkable Wisdom of Solomon: Ancient insights from the Song of Solomon, Proverbs, and Ecclesiastes
by Dr Henry M. MorrisAfter the birth of the Jewish nation, but before the brutal string of invading Pagan armies, there arose an Israel a king whose splendor was so rich, his very name is still spoken with awe: Solomon. Inheriting and expanding a magnificent kingdom from his father, King David, Solomon, attained both spiritual and material wealth, confounding his enemies and thrilling his own people. The Bible claims there will never be another like him. His legacy includes three canonical works that flowed from God to his pen - Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Solomon. Strangely, these three books are rarely examined by modern scholars, but longtime author and defender of the faith, the late Henry Morris, provided an invaluable commentary. His examination of Solomon's life, and the insights into the writings themselves, give the Bible student a worthy tour through the life of a most remarkable man. 240 pages * 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 * Trade paper
Remarriage after Divorce in Today's Church
by Mark L. Strauss Paul E. EngleA biblical and practical case for three main evangelical views on remarriage after divorce Among born-again Christians, 27 percent have experienced divorce as compared to 24 percent in the general population. Yet no consensus exists among evangelicals on their views of remarriage, leaving many Christians confused. This single volume summarizes and explores three main evangelical views: no remarriage, remarriage after adultery or desertion, and remarriage for a variety of reasons. Each of the three contributors offers his point of view succinctly with biblical support, and each interacts with the others to help readers come to their own conclusions. Contributors include: Gordon J. Wenham • No remarriage after divorce William A. Heth • Remarriage (two grounds) Craig S. Keener • Remarriage (variety of reasons)
Remarriage in Early Christianity
by A. Andrew DasWhat did early Christians believe about remarriage after divorce? The New Testament sends mixed messages about divorce. Jesus forbids it in Mark&’s and Luke&’s Gospels, but he seems to make an exception for victims of infidelity in Matthew&’s Gospel. Paul permits divorce in 1 Corinthians when an unbeliever initiates it. Yet other Pauline passages imply that remarriage after divorce constitutes adultery. A. Andrew Das confronts this dissonance in Remarriage in Early Christianity. Challenging scholarly consensus, Das argues that early Christians did not approve of remarriage after divorce. His argument—covering contemporary Jewish and Greco-Roman contexts, the Gospels, Paul&’s letters, and ante-Nicene interpretation—reveals greater consistency in early Christianity than is often assumed. Das pays special attention to the Greek words used in contemporary bills of divorce and in the New Testament, offering much-needed clarity on hotly contested concepts like porneia. At once sensitive and objective, Das finds an exegetically sound answer to the question of remarriage among early Christians. This bold study will challenge scholars and enlighten any Christian concerned with what Scripture has to say on this perennially relevant topic.

Rembrandt Is in the Wind: Learning to Love Art through the Eyes of Faith
by Russ RamseyDid you know Vincent van Gogh sold only one painting during his lifetime and that during the last three months of his life he completed an average of one painting every day?Did you know that Michelangelo's David is covered in a dusting of human skin?Did you know Caravaggio murdered several people while he was painting some of the most glorious paintings of biblical scenes the world has ever known?Rembrandt Is in the Wind by Russ Ramsey is an invitation to discover some of the world's most celebrated artists and works, while presenting the gospel of Christ in a way that speaks to the struggles and longings common to the human experience.The book is part art history, part biblical study, part philosophy, and part analysis of the human experience; but it's all story.

Un Remedio Teológico para la Crisis Ambiental
by Joseph HabamahirweLas conferencias internacionales sobre el medio ambiente, como la de Río en 1992, han hecho buenas políticas ambientales. Desafortunadamente, tales políticas no se han implementado lo suficiente. Esta situación refleja la falta de interés por parte de los países desarrollados, así como la falta de tenacidad por parte de los países en desarrollo. Por lo tanto, dicha tenacidad es necesaria para resolver el problema aparentemente insoluble de la contaminación ambiental. Las Naciones Unidas han establecido un Programa Ambiental (PNUMA) para abordar los problemas ambientales a nivel mundial. Aún así, hay mucho por hacer. Este libro presenta el estado de la actual crisis ambiental global, sus causas y efectos, tanto para los seres humanos como para la naturaleza misma. Hace un llamado a activistas ambientales, científicos, estudiantes, conferenciantes, líderes eclesiásticos y líderes políticos para detener esta crisis que podría persistir durante muchos años y empeorar progresivamente si el mundo no llega a una solución pronto.

Remember God
by Annie DownsI know God is loving; I know He is good; I believe He is big and powerful. But sometimes I wonder if He is really kind— really deeply always kind. <p><p> Is He? <p> Christians love to talk about how God is in control, but that’s harder to grasp when things aren’t going like you thought they would, when your life looks quite different than you imagined. <p> For centuries, God’s people have been building altars to Him—to remind themselves and the people around them of His work. His goodness. His kindness. Stacks of stones. Altars. Temples. Cathedrals. Why? Because they believed God and wanted to remember Him. <p> In the back of my mind, God reminds me that He is the same trustworthy God—the One who always finishes the stories he starts. And this is my story—of wrestling with our God who gives a limp and a blessing. A God who is always kind even when my circumstances feel the opposite. God is who He says He is. He is kinder than you imagine. In a world where it is easy to forget who He is, we will not. We will remember God
