CliffeHangers
Does God exist? Are morals relative? Is Jesus Christ reliable - and is He God? Can I trust the Bible? Why is there so much pain and suffering in the world? These are but a few of the questions repeatedly posed to university campus open-air Christian apologist Cliffe Knechtle from Connecticut. Cliffe has criss-crossed the USA for more than 30 years fielding the toughest questions our bright young minds can throw at him. Perhaps you have seen him yourself on one of the dozens of campuses he has visited over the years, ardently defending the Christian faith. This book discusses the top questions Cliffe is asked, his answers, and their merit.
Recovering the Biblical Gospel
Ask many a Christian church attender what the gospel is and the variety of answers may leave you stunned. Absent from many a contemporary definition of the gospel are core concepts and themes such as the depravity of man, God¿s sovereignty in election, salvation by grace alone, the nature of true faith, the sufficiency of Christ¿s sacrifice and imputed righteousness. This collection of sermons by pastor-teacher Tony Sanelli are instructive and compelling biblical expositions providing insight to help us recover the biblical gospel by explaining how God alone saves sinners from beginning to end ¿ all to His glory alone.
Whom Shall I Fear?
Anxiety is a universal human experience yet it need not dominate or direct our lives. Whom Shall I Fear? is a book for people who are prone to struggle with fear and anxiety and often find themselves unsure of how to respond from a biblical perspective. Drawing from a series of expositions from Psalm 27, the author makes the case that many of our anxieties are rooted in the feeling that what we value most is about to be taken away. Therefore, the struggle for peace is primarily a battle for the supremacy of Christ in our hearts. In this book, Sanelli offers a rich strategy for battling anxiety leading to greater peace and stability in the Christian life.
To Know as I Am Known: The Communion of the Saints and the Ontology of Love
The doctrine of the communion of the saints is central in the spiritual lives and theology of millions of Christians. However, it has been neglected by much recent philosophical scholarship. ‘To know as I am known’ addresses this oversight by offering a contemporary analysis of this venerated doctrine. By taking two related puzzles inherent in the doctrine itself, McLeod-Harrison explores and reflects on not only the communion of the saints but also on the ontology of love. Divided into five parts, this book provides an account of human nature and sin, before suggesting a way of thinking of love that is rooted both in the doctrine of the Trinity and in the thought of several contemporary...

I Am With You Always
A Study of the History and Meaning of Personal Devotion to Jesus Christ for Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant Christians The devotional life of Christians over the two millennia since Jesus' birth has been one of motion, changing and growing in response to the challenges presented to the Church, the temperaments of newly baptized nations, and controversies about how we can and should relate to God. And yet the core of authentic Christian devotion has not changed-it remains today, as it was in the time of the Church Fathers, the trusting and personal encounter with Christ that is both open and foundational to the life of all Christian believers. In this book the well-known spiritual writer an...
The Way of Salvation and of Perfection
THIS volume contains the quintessence of the science of the saints. It gives a correct idea of the spirit, of the heart, and of the talent of Saint Alphonsus: one might say that in it his whole soul is poured out. The entire work is divided into three parts. In the first, we resume, under another form, the considerations on the eternal truths or the Last Things, treated at greater length in the preceding volume. The second part traces and paves the way that leads to divine love, or to sanctity and true happiness, and inspires us at the same time with the desire, the zeal, and the courage to undertake everything to reach this end. The third part transports us to the summit of the holy mountain, or Christian perfection, shows us in detail the mysteries of the interior life, and enables us to breathe its sweetest perfume.
Attending the Wounds on Christ’s Body
The disunity of the church is a social and theological scandal for it betrays the prayer of Jesus that we "will be one . . . so that the world will believe" (John 17:21). As a Baptist whose academic background focused on the Orthodox Church and whose teaching has included Catholic and Protestant contexts, this division is for Elizabeth Newman personal and professional. Attending to the Wounds on Christ's Body rests on the conviction that the broad tradition of Christianity already contains resources to heal the church, namely the saints of the church. Newman examines especially how Teresa of Avila (1515-1582) speaks to the whole church today in the midst of political, economic, and ecclesial brokenness. Teresa's reliance upon three scriptural figures--dwellings, marriage, and pilgrimage--helps make sense of an ecclesial way of life that is inherently unitive, a unity that stands in contrast to that of the nation-state or the global market. Teresa's scriptural journey offers an alternative at once liturgical, political, and economic. This Doctor of the Church provides "medicine" that can repair wounds of division that separate brothers and sisters in Christ.
The Joy of Knowing Christ
As Pope Benedict XVI notes in the first meditation in this collection, knowing that there is a God who is good, who knows us, who is so near to us, is truly the gospel—the good news that brings us joy. These fifty-five reflections on passages from the gospels, taken from the pope’s homilies and Angelus messages over the first three years of his papacy, reveal Benedict’s passionate love for Christ, his depth of faith, his grasp of Scripture, and his perspective on the challenges facing us as Christians in the world today. Pope Benedict is a brilliant theologian and scholar, but first and foremost he is a pastor, and this is evident in every meditation in this collection. A strong advocate of lectio divina, the prayerful reading of the Scriptures, Pope Benedict shows us how much nourishment and inspiration we can derive from meditating on the word of God.
Love Set Free
A Lenten devotional by a celebrated author, well known in the United States and Great BritainWhen is love not mixed up with something else? Love and the desire to possess, love and the need to control, love and the need to be needed, love and the lust to absorb, love and condescension, love and narcissism. In this short book of meditations on the Passion according to Saint John, Martin L. Smith shows how, in the Christian mystery, love itself must be crucified and die to be reborn as the grace of communion...as love set free. Love Set Free has strong recognition in Episcopal/Anglican circles as a series of meditations designed for use as lectio and suitable for Lent or Holy Week.
