By Daniel Berrigan S.J.,
(0 Reviews)
Continuing his highly acclaimed series of spiritual and social commentaries on the books of the Bible, Daniel Berrigan offers an original and timely reading of the Wisdom of Solomon. Navigating through its complex style-which intermixes poetry characteristic of the Old Testament and elaborate sentences found in Greek oratory-Berrigan's Wisdom: The Feminine Face of God reveals the philosophical, ethical, theological, historical, psychological, and scientific issues raised by the text and wrestles with their contemporary relevance: "Let us venture an analogy . . . Let us suppose something unlikely. In this tangled jungle known as American culture, the hothouse of every sweet and seductive florum, an imperium of desire and appetite, a fierce threshing ground of the human, an induction cen... more

5.0 (6 Reviews)
Neil Anderson (author of the bestselling The Bondage Breaker™) and his coauthors expose the trauma of legalism—and show how Christ liberates us from trying to be “good enough for God.” According to a recent poll, 57 percent of Christians strongly agree the Christian life is well summed–up as “trying hard to do what God commands.” But biblically, making laws our “lord” estranges us from Christ! The authors reveal... the chains of legalism: shame, guilt, pride the keys to liberty: knowing who we are in Christ, resting in the Father’s love the life of freedom: joyful friendship with God, obedience viewed properly Here’s encouragement for defeated believers—and an appeal to the church to be free in Christ.... more

By John Eldredge,
4.0 (808 Reviews)
Every man was once a boy. And every little boy has dreams, big dreams: dreams of being the hero, of beating the bad guys, of doing daring feats and rescuing the damsel in distress. Every little girl has dreams, too: of being rescued by her prince and swept up into a great adventure, knowing that she is the beauty. But what happens to those dreams when we grow up? Walk into most churches, have a look around, and ask yourself: What is a Christian man? Without listening to what is said, look at what you find there. Most Christian men are . . . bored. In Wild at Heart, John Eldredge invites men to recover their masculine heart, defined in the image of a passionate God. And he invites women to discover the secret of a man’s soul and to delight in the strength and wildness men were created to ... more
