Even the Bible's greatest heroes stumbled. No, really, they sinned the same way that humanity today sins. Mary and Martha doubted Christ. Moses got impatient with God. Samson was prideful and forgot His strength was from God. Jonah wanted revenge and went against God's plan. The list of less-than-perfect biblical figures goes on and on. What do they have in common? God still loved them, even with their sins, mess-ups, blunders, rebelliousness: he loved them no matter what. Zoom in on why these inspirational biblical people like Moses, Samson, Gideon, David, and Peter chose to stray from the path they knew was right. More importantly, look at how God responded to apply it to your life today. Redeemed: Our Lives as Sinners and Saints will take you through 14 shortcomings as seen in the Bible, and author Dan Hoppen's own personal examples, to show that, through Christ's sacrifice on the cross, all of creation is saved and loved, no matter how bad our sins.

Churches across America are constantly updating their culture to accord with the secular culture. But Authentic Christianity offers another idea: that the Lutheran tradition embodies a framework of Christianity that uniquely addresses the postmodern condition. It does so not by being "emergent" or by making up a new approach to church or to the Christian life. Rather, it does so in an unexpected way: by being confessional, sacramental, and vocational. Authentic Christianity is a collaboration between an academic of the Boomer generation and a young Millennial pastor. Coming from two very different places - different generations, different vocations, different entries into Lutheranism - authors Gene Veith and Trevor Sutton offer their unique perspectives on how Lutheran theology engages contemporary life.

How does God measure success?In the Bible, you'll find no lack of sinfulness, shortcomings, rejections, and broken people. People like Joseph, Rahab, David, Jeremiah, John the Baptist, The Samaritan Woman, Peter, and Paul. Yet, we don't think of these people as failures. Rather, we see them as people God transformed, turning their lack into faithfulness for His good.Study these eight biblical figures to see that God does the same for you. He takes what you or society perceives as failure and transforms you for His plan. God does not judge based on earthly standards. No blunder is too big for him. No mess-up is beyond repair. His goodness goes beyond and turns your missteps into miracles.
