Jihad is one of the most loaded and misunderstood terms in the news today. Contrary to popular understanding, the term does not mean "holy war." Nor does it simply refer to the inner spiritual struggle. This book, judiciously balanced, accessibly written, and highly relevant to today's events, unravels the tangled historical, intellectual, and political meanings of jihad. Looking closely at a range of sources from sacred Islamic texts to modern interpretations, [This book] opens a critically important perspective on the role of Islam in the contemporary world. [The author] also describes some of the conflicts that occur in radical groups and shows how the more mainstream supporters of these groups have come to understand and justify violence.-Back cover.
The Wainthropp Detective Agency is bustling. No longer the new kid on the crime-fighting block, late-blooming gumshoe Hetty Wainthropp (Patricia Routledge, Keeping Up Appearances) gets the really tough jobs that require a head and a heart. Her uncanny ability to blend in with her surroundings brings her into contact with people from all walks of life, from marauding holigans to high society brides. Even Detective Chief Inspector Adams relies on her for sensitive cases that require her special blend of tenacity and kindness. Hetty is flattered, but clearly states her limits: "No sex scandals, no divorce, no drug running, and no industrial espionage." Still, she finds plenty of excitement in these nine new cases solved with the help of her trusty young assistant, Geoffrey (Dominic Monaghan, ABC's Lost), and devoted hubby, Robert (Derek Benfield)

We are loved because He is love. We are saved because He is merciful.

To answer that question, we’re going Old school—Testament that is—which leads us back to the New. Which always leads us directly to Jesus.

New York Times-bestselling author Francis Chan calls for believers and churches everywhere to align our hearts with God and start taking seriously His commands to unify. It’s clear from Scripture that God desires unity for His Church. If unity is so important to the heart of God, why is the Church one of the most divided groups on earth? Chan argues that the problem is the shallowness of our love for each other—rooted in a shallowness in our understanding of the gospel. Until Unity shows us: God grieves the division in the Church, so we can’t remain indifferent Unity demands a level of humility only possible by the Spirit The power and witness of the Church hinges on our oneness Unity comes at a cost, but it commands a blessing We must come together as a Christ’s Bride. God desires His people to love one another radically and become the Church He has called us to be. For further individual or small-group study, check out Until Unity Study Guide, an eight-session interactive workbook that serves as a companion to Until Unity, along with a free online video series.
