Many Christians have only been exposed to one viewpoint on any church teaching. This book provides an alternative voice on a number of different subjects often discussed in the church. It's meant to broaden the readers perspective; to show that the Christian umbrella is much bigger than many have known and thought it to be. Far ranging, the book touches on such topics as the nature of Hell, Biblical Inspiration, God's Sovereignty, Church-Planting, what happens to people who haven't heard the gospel when they die, Atonement theories, and much more. For those who wish to think more differently and more deeply about these topics, this is the book for them. "In a conversational style, Gabriel Gordon challenges his readers to think, to question, and to search. This work may feel uncomfortable, but the prophetic voice rarely comforts. The reward for reading with Gordon is the possibility of greater understanding, greater humility, and a greater possibility for hope. I recommend this book of short forays into an alternative theological vision.">"Gabriel Gordon's collection of essays invited me to think again. The book opened a window to pondering fresh perspectives. Gordon's invitation to reconsider fundamental assumptions challenged me without bullying, opened my mind rather than leaving me defensive. Welcoming, stimulating and refreshing!" >"This book is full of so many great insights and perspectives on Jesus, the Bible, Cultural Christianity, American Evangelicalism and Practical Theology it's hard to put down or to dismiss. My friend Gabriel Gordon is a voice some of you may not know very well, but based on what he's written here, I suspect this won't be the case for very long. I'm very grateful for writers, thinkers and status-quo-shakers like Gabriel Gordon, who fill me with great hope for a new generation of Christ-followers that look, act and love like Jesus. May this tribe increase!" Keith Giles Author of Jesus Unveiled: Forsaking Church As We Know It For Ekklesia As God Intended and co-host of the Heretic Happy Hour Podcast.

A mathematical exploration of the popular card game SETHave you ever played the addictive card game SET? Have you ever wondered about the connections between games and mathematics? If the answer to either question is "e;yes,"e; then The Joy of SET is the book for you! The Joy of SET takes readers on a fascinating journey into this seemingly simple card game and reveals its surprisingly deep and diverse mathematical dimensions. Absolutely no mathematical background is necessary to enjoy this book-all you need is a sense of curiosity and adventure!Originally invented in 1974 by Marsha Falco and officially released in 1991, SET has gained a widespread, loyal following. SET's eighty-one cards consist of one, two, or three symbols of different shapes (diamond, oval, squiggle), shadings (solid, striped, open), and colors (green, purple, red). In order to win, players must identify "e;sets"e; of three cards for which each characteristic is the same-or different-on all the cards. SET's strategic and unique design opens connections to a plethora of mathematical disciplines, including geometry, modular arithmetic, combinatorics, probability, linear algebra, and computer simulations. The Joy of SET looks at these areas as well as avenues for further mathematical exploration. As the authors show, the relationship between SET and mathematics runs in both directions-playing this game has generated new mathematics, and the math has led to new questions about the game itself.The first book devoted to the mathematics of one of today's most popular card games, The Joy of SET will entertain and enlighten the game enthusiast in all of us.
