The Amarisian Prophecies: The Reckoning
Teens Nadia, Afsana, Yibinathi, and Min-Ji are strangers. They live in different countries, their own demons to conquer, their own dangers to face. But when they are pulled into a Thura Gate -a bridge between our world and the magical realm of Amaris-they come together to discover a universe larger than anything they ever dreamed...and peril greater than anything they ever feared. Amaris hovers on the brink of destruction: the evil Queen Sathariel has risen, her Dark Forces are on the rise. And Amaris' protector, The Chosen-a teenage boy prophesied to destroy Sathariel and save the world-has been captured and imprisoned by the evil queen. The only way to save him, and to break Sathariel's ho...

Compelling Convictions
A fresh look at our core values In the twenty years since a group of Brethren in Christ pastors, educators, administrators, and laypeople first met to identify ten core values for the North American church, much has changed—including the continuing decline of the church in the west; dynamic social movements for racial, gender, and economic justice; vast advances in technology, and a worldwide pandemic. With so much happening on both the national and international stages, it seems vital that we as Brethren in Christ prayerfully reflect not only on our core values and their application, but on how those values might help our churches engage a dramatically new social context. Are these values merely sentimental slogans? Or do they constitute compelling convictions, genuine guiding lights orienting us and motivating our mission in a rapidly changing world? The answer to that all-important question depends largely on how we use them. In this forward-looking book, essays from Brethren in Christ pastors and leaders from across the globe call us into the future of the church—to unleash our creative energies, roll up our sleeves, and put these core values to good use.
Small-Batch Disciplemaking
Recover Jesus' strategy of training the few to reach the many. What if rather than funneling people through church programs, you invested in their growth? Would this kind of intentional investment help you discover a new kind of Christian purpose and spiritual legacy? And, what if you already have what it takes to develop your spiritual growth as a disciple while apprenticing others? As Christians, we should all participate in spiritual leadership by seeking to make spiritual investment in the lives closest to us. It’s time for us to move away from institutionalized, Sunday morning faith and toward a more relationally driven, culturally friendly, and doable approach to disciple-making. Wha...
Afghan Mountain Faith
Is There Hope for Afghans? Everyone has heard of the Taliban, but how well do we know the Afghan people? The winds of change are blowing through Afghanistan, one of the hardest countries in the world in which to be a Christian. How can Afghans build trusting, vibrant communities of believers? What are the best practices in discipleship? Afghan Mountain Faith explores relationships, justice, and beauty in God's unfolding kingdom. These never-before-recorded accounts show Jesus’s followers in their unique Afghan context. Their stories extend worldwide as Afghan fellowships arise globally, even though there is not a single church building inside their country. Miriam Adeney and Rashid Aalish delve into challenging issues of our time, including refugees, women’s rights, US military missions of mercy, church planting, ethnic identity, suffering, lament, orality, and ethnodoxology. If you want stories, there are stories. If you want strategies, there are strategies. If you want to wrestle with systemic issues, that is here too. These reflections will provoke you to think and propel you to hope.
Shroud Encounter
It was a crime scene investigation like no other. A man was tortured, beaten, and killed. He was popular with the people, but many in power wanted Him dead. After a mock trial, the powerful had their way. He was given a hasty burial, but now the body has disappeared. Was there a clue left behind? A bloody sheet offers evidence of a horrific execution. Was the body stolen? By whom and why? Did it just vanish? What does the cloth reveal about the disappearance? The Shroud of Turin (Italy) bears the faint front and back image of a bearded crucified man with corresponding bloodstains that match the Gospel accounts of what happened to Jesus. It is the most analyzed artifact in the world yet remai...
Understanding Religious Abuse and Recovery
Currently there are at least four major, identifiable perspectives on how people best understand and recover from religious abuse. Both secular and faith-based (Christian) adherents can be variously identified in each of these approaches. This book examines these viewpoints and evaluates their various strengths and limitations. It concludes that each perspective is helpful to the extent possible, given the limitations of its respective philosophic or theological assumptions. This book summarizes each viewpoint and suggests a larger contextual perspective, helpful to better understand involvement in and recovery from religiously abusive environments. The conclusion is an integration of the various conceptual frameworks, and a different model (SECURE) is described that includes essential principles and practical strategies necessary for recovery from religious abuse. Suggestions are made for future research and study both for academics with interest in the cultic studies and counseling fields, and for various people negatively affected by religious abuse and in need of recovery.
ChristiTutionalist (TM) Politics
ChristiTutionalist (TM) Politics ... "ChristiTutionalist Politics (Christian based U. S. Constitutionalism) Voting Biblically through a Christian based U. S. Constitutionalism lens - ChristiTutionalist Politics! The Jefferson letter about "Separation of Church and State" was/is just about that the United States Federal Government shall never officially adopt a particular Church over others. PERIOD! It does not mean "Freedom From Religion" as some want a "Separation From Church To State" and indeed that as John Adams said "Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” and therefore U. S. Christian need be involved i...
