Making Sense of God
0إنَّنا نعيشُ في مجتمعاتٍ ازدادَ فيها التشكيك والاستقطابُ بينَ مَن يرى الحاجة إلى وجودِ الدِّين والإيمان من جهة، ومَن لا يرى حاجةً إلى وجود الدِّينِ بل إلى التركيز على المنطقِ والتجريب من جهةٍ أخرى. وهكذا برزَتْ في الآونةِ الأخيرة في مجتمعاتِنا أسئلةٌ مثل: ‘‘لماذا ينبغي أن يتَّكِلُ إنسانٌ على أمورٍ غَيبيَّة لا يمكنُ دَعمُها بالأدلَّة التجريبيَّة؟’’ و‘‘هل هناك دَورٌ فعليٌّ للدِّينِ يؤدِّيه في الحياةِ المعاصِرة؟’’
في هذا الكتاب، يستعرضُ تيموثي كَلِر مقارنةً بين سعي كلٍّ من المسيحيَّة والعَلمانيَّة اللادينيَّة إلى تقديم وجهة نظر بشأن العديد من المسائل المهمَّة في الحياة- مثل معنى الحياة، والرِّضى، والحرِّيَّة، والهُوِيَّة، والعدالة، والرَّجاء- كما يقدِّم دعوةً مفتوحةً إلى قُطبَي المعادَلة لبحثِها ومناقشتها، ويلقي أيضًا الضَّوء على أهمِّيَّة المسيحيَّة في عصرنا الحاليِّ، ويطرحُ حُجَّتَه بأنَّها الأكثر منطقيَّة على المستوى الوجدانيِّ والثقافيِّ، والأقدَرُ على تفسيرِ أمورِ الحياة مَدارَ البحثِ بأوضح صورة.v -
You are What You Love
0You are what you love.
But you might not love what you think.
In this book, award-winning author James K. A. Smith shows that who and what we worship fundamentally shape our hearts. And while we desire to shape culture, we are not often aware of how culture shapes us. We might not realize the ways our hearts are being taught to love rival gods instead of the One for whom we were made. Smith helps readers recognize the formative power of culture and the transformative possibilities of Christian practices. He explains that worship is the “imagination station” that incubates our loves and longings so that our cultural endeavors are indexed toward God and his kingdom. This is why the church and worshiping in a local community of believers should be the hub and heart of Christian formation and discipleship.

Surprised by Joy
0The Shape of My Early Life is a partial autobiography describing Lewis’ conversion to Christianity. The book overall contains less detail concerning specific events than typical autobiographies. This is because his purpose in writing wasn’t primarily historical. His aim was to identify & describe the events surrounding his accidental discovery of & consequent search for the phenomenon he labelled “Joy”. This word was the best translation he could make of the German idea of Sehnsucht, longing. That isn’t to say the book is devoid of information about his life. He recounts his early years with a measure of amusement sometimes mixed with pain.

A Grief Observed
0Written after his wife’s tragic death as a way of surviving the “mad midnight moment,” A Grief Observedis C.S. Lewis’s honest reflection on the fundamental issues of life, death, and faith in the midst of loss. This work contains his concise, genuine reflections on that period: “Nothing will shake a man — or at any rate a man like me — out of his merely verbal thinking and his merely notional beliefs. He has to be knocked silly before he comes to his senses. Only torture will bring out the truth. Only under torture does he discover it himself.” This is a beautiful and unflinchingly honest record of how even a stalwart believer can lose all sense of meaning in the universe, and how he can gradually regain his bearings.

Vintage Saints & Sinners
0The word saint conjures up images of superstar Christians revered for their spectacular acts and otherworldly piety. But when we take a closer look at the lives of these spiritual heavyweights, we learn that they also experienced struggle, doubt, and heartache.
In fact, we learn that in many ways they’re not all that different from you and me.
Narrating her own winding pilgrimage through faith, Karen Marsh reveals surprising lessons in everyday spirituality from these “saints”―folks who lived and breathed, and failed and followed God. Told with humor and vulnerability, Vintage Saints and Sinners introduces us afresh to twenty-five brothers and sisters who challenge and inspire us with their honest faith.
Using the included conversation starters, you can join Karen on her journey with the likes of Augustine, Brother Lawrence, and Saint Francis, as well as Amanda Berry Smith, Søren Kierkegaard, Dorothy Day, Howard Thurman, Flannery O’Connor, and many more. Let their lives and their wisdom be an invitation to authentic life in Christ. -
The Little Book of Biblical Justice
0Christians also regard the Bible as a uniquely important source of guidance on matters of belief and practice. What the Bible has to say about justice, therefore—both social justice and criminal justice—ought to be of great significance for Christian thought and action today. Yet coming to grips with biblical teaching on justice is by no means easy. Chapters here include:
- What is Justice
- Justice in the Biblical Worldview
- He Contours of Biblical Justice
- Jesus and Justice
Upfront, Marshall addresses the many complexities that surround “justice” in the Bible: the Bible seems to hold conflicting points of view; there is a huge amount of data to deal with; the world of the Bible and our present world are vastly different. Marshall’s honest treatment of this subject is direct, yet almost lyrical in tone. He manages a thorny, multi-faceted subject clearly and ultimately singles out the broad areas of theological agreement among the Bible’s writers. Highly stimulating. Highly inspirational.
