What Do You Seek?: The Questions of Jesus as Challenge and Promise
by Michael J. BuckleyThroughout the Gospels, Jesus asks a lot of questions—questions that challenge and unsettle. Questions that cut to the heart of human experience. Questions that—like a plow plunging deep into hard soil—split life open. In this book distinguished theologian Michael Buckley meditates on fourteen key personal questions that Jesus asks in the Gospel of John—such questions as "What do you seek?" "Do you know what I have done to you?" "How can you believe?" "Do you take offense at this?" "Do you love me?" Readers of Buckley's What Do You Seek? will be challenged anew by the searching, probing questions of Jesus.

What Do You Think?: The Intersection of Everyday Life with God’s Word
by Thomas DoubtWhat Do YOU Think? is a book by Thomas J. Doubt to stimulate thinking about aspects of everyday life that may not be on our front burners. Many people board a commercial airline each day; few, if any, might reflect on how the safety briefing might be used to tell someone about Jesus. A morning cup of coffee often allows us to ponder how our day might go, but does it draw our attention to warnings in the Bible? Riding a golf cart to the first tee probably does not inspire thoughts about our journey of faith.Jesus began several of his teaching moments by asking a simple question. What do you think? His intent was not to solicit personal opinions. The world is neck deep in personal opinions lacking a divine foundation. From the beginning, the Word that became flesh and dwelt among us wanted our brains to be engaged by his words so our thoughts might travel from mind to heart, and from heart to action. What Do YOU Think? is a book that follows the model of Jesus. Stories to stimulate thinking, scriptures to encourage the heart, and in the end, conviction to choose a better path.

What Does God Know and When Does He Know It?: The Current Controversy over Divine Foreknowledge
by Millard J. EricksonDoes God know the future? Or is the future unknowable to even God? Open theists believe the search for biblical answers will spark a new Revolution. Are they right? Arguing that God interacts with his creatures spontaneously, the controversial new movement known as “open theism” has called classic church theology up for reexamination. Confronting this view, classic theists maintain that God has complete foreknowledge and that open-theist arguments are unorthodox. Each view has implications for our vision of the future and of God’s dealings with humanity.
