This small collection of poems, the first by author Rachel Starr Thomson, celebrates the Christian hope and experience of redemption and new creation-even in the midst of a fallen world. Built around a long poem entitled "Kyrie," each piece is a celebration of God's mercy and our redemption in Christ.
An honest, enlightening, practical, and challenging look at what it means to be a writer in today's world--and to answer the call of God along the way. Novelist, blogger, indie published author of more than thirty books--Rachel Starr Thomson has done it all on her journey to the promised land of life as a full-time writer, answering God's call to write words that matter and release them to the world. Along the way she has faced down anxiety, illness, death (literally), and financial disaster, all forcing the question--Has God really called me? And can it possibly be worth it? "Agonizingly beautiful--Rachel succinctly conveys the doubts, fears, second-guessing, discouragement, overwhelm, and ecstatic joy that is the roller-coaster ride experienced by all who step out in faith to live a productive, successful writing life, attempting to find their way without losing their way. If God is calling you to be a writer, or a creative of any kind, take this journey with her. You will not regret a single step."--C.S. Lakin, LiveWriteThrive
This diverse collection of essays in honor of Edward William Fudge explores the topics of hell and immortality, for which Fudge has been widely known through his magnum opus, The Fire That Consumes. Most Christians believe people will live and suffer in hell forever, but Fudge defends a view known historically as "conditional immortality." He and a growing minority of Christians believe God will grant immortality only to those who meet the condition of being united with Christ on the Last Day, while those who do not will perish forever. Although Christians sharing Fudge's view have defended it both before and after him, conditionalists today still point to The Fire That Consumes as the seminal treatment of the topic. In July 2014, Christians from around the world gathered at the inaugural Rethinking Hell conference, to celebrate Fudge's life and work and to discuss the nature of hell in an open and respectful forum. This volume contains most of the essays presented at that conference, and several others volunteered by conditionalists since then, as a gift to Fudge for the tremendous impact he has had on them, and for the continued work he does for God's kingdom.

In her own devotional prayer journal, Isabelle Joye records not only Scripture and her prayers to the Lord, but also what she senses Jesus is saying to her in response. The result is a beautiful dialogue, as she allows the words of the Lord, rooted in the Word, to minister to the deepest recesses of her heart, soul, and mind, and purify her to become increasingly holy before him. Isabelle Joye shares examples of her personal dialogue with Jesus to inspire her readers to establish their own dynamic and interactive relationship with the Lord. At the end of each chapter readers will discover questions and lined pages where they can journal their personal response.
