Summary

It’s hard enough having a painful secret that you are terrified of sharing.

It’s even harder when you find yourself in the international limelight as the advocate wife of a Christian hero imprisoned for his faith

The worst part is fearing that, if you did share this secret, it might devastate the lives of your family and close friends, alienate tens of thousands of active supporters, and cause persecuted people around the world to become even more vulnerable.

Naghmeh Abedini Panahi lived in constant tension from the irreconcilable realities playing out in her own life, in her family life, in the conduct of others, and on the worldwide stage as she interacted with power brokers and well-known religious leaders Tension involving:

Steadfastly honoring God versus being carried away by the tide of circumstances

Personal reality versus public persona

Genuine faith versus hypocritical religion

Truth and caring versus the end justifying the means

Obedience to God versus loyalty to others..

JourneyWise

Redeeming the Broken & Winding Roads We Travel

Summary

JourneyWise: Finding meaning in each step along the path of life and being transformed by the journey as a whole.

A common thread binds us together: the broken and winding roads we all travel. Most of us carry with us some form of spiritual, emotional, or physical baggage That type of weight takes its toll Our paths can be difficult or daunting if we try to journey them on our own In JourneyWise, noted pastor and author Shane Stanford offers us a different understanding of our life's path, enabling us to reframe our journey into one that is healed and redeemed He begins by asking these questions:

What if you could have Jesus Himself as your life’s companion? What if you had access to His innermost thoughts, tapping into His wisdom? What if your story could intimately intertwine with His and of others who closely follow Him? And what if all of this were possible by purposefully applying only a few paragraphs of His teachings?

No-nonsense law student Adelaide Smith doesn't believe in fairytales But when she learns she's the daughter of King Maximillian V, the ruler of a small European principality, she's swept into a world filled with family mysteries, royal jealousies, and the possibility of her own happily ever after.

Adelaide Smith is too busy for fairy tales She's been working hard to put herself through law school and now that the end is in sight, she's determined to stay focused on her goals Then she receives a letter notifying her that she has been found through a DNA registry to be a direct descendant of King Maximillian V, the ruler of a small Eastern European principality called Montovia She's understandably skeptical This is the stuff of cheesy made-for-TV movies, not real life

Friendship with the Friend of Sinners

The Remarkable Possibility of Closeness with Christ

Summary

Is it really possible to experience friendship with Jesus? This thought-provoking, biblical book helps you discover what Jesus meant when he called his disciples his friends, what it means that he is the "friend of sinners," and how we can experience true closeness with him.

The Bible calls Jesus the friend of sinners, but it's hard to imagine what friendship with Jesus really looks like We so often don't even know how to do friendship with the people around us, despite all the options we have to connect So how are we supposed to feel that close to a holy, perfect, and invisible God? How do we see Jesus as the real person he is? And how do we experience true friendship with him when we struggle to maintain true friendship on earth?

Join author Jared C. Wilson as he explores what it means to be a friend of Jesus. Through candid personal stories and insights into the Gospels, Wilson uncovers easily overlooked details of the close relationship Jesus had with his followers. He reveals the ways we often hold Jesus at arm's length and shows how to draw close to him through radical honesty, consistent communication, and unconditional love

If you've found yourself lonely and longing for connection and friendship, it's time to discover the remarkable possibility o

That is, until her ward's famous uncle unexpectedly arrives and throws Theo's tidy orbit completely off-kilter.

Sometimes the world knocks us flat on our butt.

We feel stretched further than we ever thought physically, emotionally, or spiritually possible. And though we are torn up inside, we feel like we need to keep our chin up and put a good face on things. So we pretend that everything is fine, even though it's not.

Can I Borrow a Cup of Hope?

How to Find Faith for Hard Times in 1 Peter Amy Lively

Summary

"Amy is a gifted teacher and her words are just the right mix of clever, funny, and profound." -Peggy Bodde, founder of Sacred Work

When the pain and problems of life barge in, hopes and dreams run out In these uncertain seasons of personal crisis, national chaos, and global catastrophe, it's easy to wonder if life will ever be anything but sorrow and despair. Catchy Bible verses painted on cute signs aren't enough.

The apostle Peter knows exactly what it's like when hope is gone He watched as the Messiah was arrested, crucified, and buried And Peter himself failed almost every test of his faith, even with Christ right in front of him But he also knows that God is faithful and true, carrying us through our harshest suffering and redeeming our heaviest regrets

Bible teacher, author, and speaker Amy Lively dives into Peter's first epistle, a short letter with a lot of power, to light the way for today's struggling Christian. In this daily Bible study, she guides readers through the be...

“Follow your dreams” is the self-help message of our day In our schools and universities, media, and culture, and even in church, we are taught to dream big, work hard, and find true happiness in living our dreams. And so we spend our lives chasing.

Could We Be Witnessing a Return of Belief in Our Generation?

Justin Brierley is convinced that in our time we are witnessing a growing wave of faith

Famously described as the “long, withdrawing roar” of the “Sea of Faith,” the Christian narrative that shaped the West has been replaced by sweeping secularism But is that the end of the story?

It was a conversation with agnostic journalist Douglas Murray that led Brierley to investigate whether a change was on the horizon. Speaking of the “Sea of Faith,” Murray remarked that tides come back in again and that a number of his intelligent friends had converted to Christianity in recent years Brierley was seeing a similar trend among the secular thinkers he had interviewed Jordan Peterson, Tom Holland, Dave Rubin, and many others have found themselves surprised by the continuing resonance and relevance of Christianity, and they are joining in on conversations about faith

A Basic Guide to the Just War Tradition

Christian Foundations and Practices

Summary

An author with decades of experience in the military, the US State Department, and the classroom offers a concise, accessible introduction to the just war tradition from a Christian perspective.

This brief introduction surveys Christian thinking on an array of topics related to security and peace from a just war perspective Drawing primarily on Scripture and theology, Eric Patterson explores the moral dimensions of order, justice, and peace in light of key Christian doctrines such as love of neighbor, stewardship, vocation, and sphere sovereignty He also examines the perennial questions of civil disobedience, terrorism, revolution, and holy war (including a discussion of Israel's removal of the Canaanites and the Crusades) and interacts with theological thinkers throughout Christian history. The volume concludes with a treatment of punishment and restitution, considering how these can help move a society toward conciliation.

While ideal as a textbook for courses on Christian ethics, theology and politics, and church and society, this book will also appeal to pastors and lay readers questioning the morality of war and Christians' involvement in force Christians who serve in g

How 7 Transformational Events in 1776 Paved the Way for Today’s Post-Christian West

In Remaking the World, Andrew Wilson highlights 7 major developments from the year 1776 globalization, the Enlightenment, the Industrial Revolution, the Great Enrichment, the American Revolution, the rise of post-Christianity, and the dawn of Romanticism and explains their relevance to social changes happening today.

Renewing Christian Worldview

A Holistic Approach for Spirit-Filled Christians

Summary

This book offers a brief but comprehensive introduction to Christian worldview from a Pentecostal perspective, helping students understand why Christianity is beautiful, true, and relevant to all aspects of life.

This brief but comprehensive introduction to Christian worldview helps readers understand the Christian faith as the substance of Spirit-filled living and as a knowledge tradition stemming from the global Pentecostal movement

Using beauty, truth, and goodness as organizing principles, the authors delineate a Christian worldview by tracing each category historically, comparing and contrasting each with alternative Christian expressions, and constructing fresh takes on each as read through the lived Pentecostal experience. Unlike other worldview books, the authors' approach emphasizes beauty (relating to experience) rather than truth (involving knowledge acquisition); that difference in emphasis flows naturally from the Pentecostal perspective, which has traditionally centered the experience of the Spirit.

Pentecostal Christians will find this volume indispensable for thinking lucidly about their worldview from a renewal perspective

Summary

In this compact volume, an expert in the study of Islam provides explanations for more than one hundred important Islamic concepts and terms.

For many in the English-speaking world, Islam remains a mysterious religion. What is Islam in the first place? Does it mean "peace," or does it mean "submission"? Can it mean both? What is jihad? Sharia? Hadith? Who is Allah? What is a caliph, caliphate, or infidel?

In this compact volume, an expert in the study of Islam provides explanations for more than one hundred important Islamic concepts and terms, which are divided into major sections: texts, history, faith and belief, practice and religious duties, jurisprudence, and movements. Ayman Ibrahim first introduces the section, then defines each concept or term briefly. Readers can read a chapter at a time or flip through the book to find concepts or terms as needed. Each term is described based on original Muslim sources, mainly written in Arabic, as well as ample scholarly studies.

This introductory guide is written for anyone with little to no knowledge of Islam It complements the author's A Concise Guide to the Quran and A Concise

World Religions in Seven Sentences

A Small Introduction to a Vast Topic

Douglas Groothuis

Summary

Understanding other faiths is essential not just to interreligious dialogue, but also to grasping one's own faith. Covering world religions including Atheism, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Daoism, Christianity, and Islam, Douglas Groothuis creatively uses a single sentence for each one as a way to op...

Understanding the beliefs and practices of other faiths is essential not just to the task of interreligious dialogue, but also to grasping one's own faith.

In this brief volume in IVP Academic's Introductions in Seven Sentences, philosopher Douglas Groothuis creatively uses a single sentence representing each of several world religions as a way to open readers to their depth and complexity, including:

Atheism: "God Is Dead."

Judaism: "I Am Who I Am."

Hinduism: "You Are That "

Buddhism: "Life Is Suffering "

Daoism: "The Dao That Can Be Spoken Is Not the Eternal Dao "

Christianity: "Before Abraham Was, I Am "

Islam: "There Is One God, and Mohammad Is His Prophet "

With a sympathetic but not uncritical approach, Groothuis welcomes readers to a vital and global conversation.

The accessible primers in the Introductions in Seven Sentences collection act as brief introductions to an academic field, with simple organization: seven key sentences that give readers a birds-eye view of an entire discipline

A Gift of Joy and Hope

Summary

In this encouraging book, Pope Francis explores the meaning of true joy and offers an inspiring message: even in dark times, the light of hope can shine bright.

The past few years have been extremely challenging, but even in dark times, the light of joy can shine bright.

True joy, says Pope Francis, is not a fleeting sentiment or a short-term solution to suffering; it springs from a solid hope that nothing and no one can take away

A Gift of Joy and Hope is an invitation to embrace authentic beauty and a reminder to be open to encountering God, even in the midst of challenges. In this inspiring collection, Pope Francis encourages readers to change attitudes that exclude others; to reveal the deep dissatisfaction we all hide; and to overcome life’s challenges with courage and faith He also challenges readers to hope without pessimism or doubt, to hope even in the midst of anxiety, to recognize the beauty all around us, and to let God show us how to deal with your doubts and fears
