    "Clear, theologically focused guidance on Pentecostals and Pentecostalism. At just over a century old, the Pentecostal movement looms large in the global Christian landscape, with adherents and influence across multiple cultures and contexts. Still, confusion abounds over what Pentecostals believe and teach about the Holy Spirit, worship, salvation, healing, and much more. In 40 Questions about Pentecostalism, Jonathan Black gives an appreciative yet realistic look at the historical, theological, biblical, and experiential factors that make Pentecostalism a vibrant and worldwide Christian movement. He answers questions such as these: How did Pentecostalism begin? How are Charismatics different from Pentecostals? What did Jesus accomplish at the cross according to Pentecostals? What is the Pentecostal doctrine of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit? What do Pentecostals believe about healing? What ministries has Christ placed in his church according to Pentecostal theology? How do Pentecostals understand water baptism? The thematic organization of 40 Questions about Pentecostalism provides valuable insight into the issues that matter most in understanding Pentecostalism. And as with all the 40 Questions books, the question-and-answer format offers readers targeted guidance on the questions that matter most to them. Instructor resources are available at 40questions.net"--

    "Consists of twelve essays written by twelve different authors from five different countries who all have one thing in common: they were once atheists or agnostics but then came to Christian faith through engaging with the thinking of the New Atheist Richard Dawkins. The authors include academics, journalists, a civil servant, a church pastor, an engineering manager, a counselor, a graphic designer, and others. Despite this great range of backgrounds and cultures, all are united in the fact that they were first enthusiasts for the claims and writing of the New Atheists, but when they looked closer became disillusioned, eventually turning instead to Christian faith, which they find intellectually more convincing. Those who will want to read this book include atheists, agnostics, Christians and those of other faiths - anyone whose mind is open enough to consider rational arguments for faith, coming from those who have themselves made the journey from anti-faith to faith in Christ. Readers will have their minds stretched to see how, on one hand, the intellectual case for atheism is far weaker than the New Atheists claim, and on the other hand just how very varied the pathways to Christian faith may be in the lives of people coming from such diverse backgrounds"--

    "Chilham in the County of Kent to London, Spring 1813 After breaking off two arranged engagements, country baker turned heiress Muriel Beau takes matters into her own hands and asks the visiting baron she loves to marry her in a very public proposal and is met with an emphatic rejection. With no other course but to flee Kent society, Muriel knows the only way out of this debacle is to out stride it by securing what every society matron dreams of obtaining-a coronet with a sumptuous title to match. And after a glittering reception in the courts of London, Muriel's dreams might come true after all. After years serving as a Privateer under another name, Captain Erik Draycott, the recent heir to Draycott Castle and his uncle's title, returns home to find his London House in disrepair thanks to his nemesis, Requin. Erik soon finds while his rumored pauper state has kept most potential London brides away, the country brides of Kent have no such qualms and are more than willing to fill his coffers with their fathers' wealth, despite his desire to remain single so he may return to his ship unfettered as soon as his arm is healed from his skirmish with an elusive French smuggler. But, when he encounters the unconventional Muriel Beau and she becomes inadvertently entangled in his failed mission, he is torn between protecting this enchanting country lady by staying at her side and his calling back to the high seas as privateer captain of the Twilight Treader"--

    "When Janae Simmons left Kedgewick, VA, ten years ago, she knew she'd never return, but now she has. Nothing has changed, but she's not the same.

    "My adopted people have a story, a legend, that speaks of a time so dark, the sun will turn his back on the mountains and swallow the moon. It is then that the Sharaw--the Tiger-Man--will come prowling, exacting revenge on the darkness. But there is no great darkness in me or my world. It isn't always comfortable, but it has always been predictable ... until the soldiers came. In the months following the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Imperial Japan devoured entire Asian countries. It wasn't long until the only thing standing between the West and the Land of the Rising Sun was the mountains of Burma-Kailyn Moran's home by birth if not nationality. The daughter of a Baptist missionary and a native Kachin mountain woman, Kai witnesses her land engulfed by unspeakable atrocity, destroying her family and her hope. It is a time of darkness, and she and the other missionaries must choose which path to take--the way of forgiveness and home or the way of the Sharaw"--

    "The books of 1 and 2 Chronicles do more than provide an account of historical events involving God's people; they also point to the future using a picture of the past. In this commentary, authors Joshua E. Williams and Calvin F. Pearson explore the interrelated themes of divine covenant, the ritual worship of God's people, the kingdom as God envisions it, and the God-formed community found in this far-ranging and didactic narrative. God's holiness, faithfulness, and gracious character find concrete expression in the accounts of the Davidic monarchy over many generations. These often-failed national leaders prefigure a better, coming Davidic king who will lead the way back to proper worship of God. Chronicles calls readers to both action and hope"--

    We cannot love others well without speaking the truth Loving our neighbors well includes engaging in robust conversations that destabilize false belief systems. In addressing the mind, will, and emotions of actual, complex people, Christian believers must develop various approaches to meet diverse personalities and multiple connection points. In Persuasive Apologetics, pastor and professor Jeffrey M. Robinson explores what's below the surface of intellectual-sounding objections to Christianity. He shows what it means to contend for the truth through real-life examples of communicating with those who hold differing beliefs. Robinson covers foundational and practical issues, such as - the importance of demeanor in being persuasive - various apologetic approaches - the influence of worldview presuppositions - using undercutting defeaters to expose faulty thinking - causes of nonbelief - the historical Jesus compared with figureheads of competing belief systems - the hope that Jesus offers Persuasive Apologetics will challenge serious seekers to peel back the layers of skeptical arguments and equip committed Christians looking to hone their apologetics skills.

    "When pain and problems barge in, our hopes and dreams march out. Unwelcome trials and troubles knock on our door like uninvited guests, and our happiness, peace, and security pack their bags. In uncertain seasons of personal crisis, national chaos, or global catastrophe, we wonder if life will ever be the same. Catchy Bible verses aren't enough to light the way, and we flicker between hopeless fears and hopeful fantasies. This. Changes. Everything. Where do we go to get our "old normal" back? The apostle Peter knows what it's like when all your hope is gone. He watched as his hope was arrested, crucified, and buried, and Peter publicly failed every test of his faith. Peter-and his elusive, unnamed wife-also know that God relieves our harshest suffering and redeems our heaviest regret. They will show us how to separate our hopeless or hopeful emotions and set our hope fully in Christ alone. The tiny space between these words is where God's power enters in! Bible teacher, author, and speaker Amy Lively guides us through this couple's beautiful story in the powerful book of 1 Peter. With her gentle honesty and just the right amount of humor, Amy will help you see that when you're at the end of the world as you know it, you're only at the beginning of Jesus"--

    What can we know about the apostle Paul, and what difference does it make? Paul of Tarsus was an undeniably forceful presence in the early Christian church, instructing fledgling congregations of believers throughout the Mediterranean in person and by letter and authoring about half of the New Testament in the process. But who was this powerful personality? And how can students most benefit from the extensive studies on Paul available today? New Testament scholars Miguel Echevarria and Benjamin Laird provide an invaluable foundation for students beginning their investigations into the apostle Paul, Paul's theology, and Pauline studies, addressing orienting questions such as these: - What do we know about Paul's family? - How did Paul's companions assist in the composition and distribution of his letters? - Did Paul think his letters were authoritative Scripture? - Is there a center to Paul's theology? - What is Paul's Christology? - What are the strengths and weaknesses of the New Perspective on Paul? - Does Paul address slavery and racial division? Through its question-and-answer format, 40 Questions about the Apostle Paul provides a succinct introduction and entryway to more advanced study of Paul and the Pauline letter corpus.

    "Seeking fulfilment, many Christians turn to identities that promise to give their lives meaning: profession, roles as spouse or parent, personality types, even sexuality--anything that can be held up to others as the empowering core of who they are. But when these new labels don't give them any real foundation for hope, they end up feeling disappointed, directionless, and defeated. Those false identities turn out to be only sand. John and Angel Beeson have seen this problem again and again in their respective roles as pastor and counselor. And they want searching Christians to know the truth: a fulfilling understanding of self can only be found by rooting one's identity in the unchangeable and nonnegotiable understanding of who we were created to be. This husband-and-wife team considers ten identities that masquerade as truth and challenge readers to trade those labels for the ones Christ offers. They explain why true identity matters, how our masks can suffocate us, and how substitute identities can become idolatry. They share real struggles from real people. And they offer hope in a comprehensive index of our identities in Christ, both individual and the collective identity of the church"--

    "Detective Daniel Swann and debutante Juliette Thorndike once again team up to solve a dangerous mystery--while trying to keep their growing romance secret. Someone is preying upon the street children of Regency London. They seem to think no one will notice when urchins go missing--and even if they are noticed, who will care? Daniel needs to do something about the missing children. But with recent revelations about his past and an unexpected, somewhat unwelcome inheritance to deal with, this is a terrible time to dive back into the seedy underbelly of the crime world. Nevertheless, he's still a Bow Street runner, and his partner Lady Juliette is sensitive to the plight of these wayward youngsters. They're on the case, searching shadowed alleys and coal-drenched streets to find the missing. But the tangle of expectation and the dynamics of power cannot be easily ignored, even if there are children in danger. When Daniel's past threatens to overwhelm his future, he will need a miracle and the help of his friends to both apprehend the villain and unravel his tangled family web. And it may be that his new responsibilities demand that he leave the children of the shadows to their terrible fate--or lose everything"--

    "Highly entertaining, refreshing, and witty. . . . [A] beautifully written, delightful, and faith-filled romance of two endearing hearts."--Grace Hitchcock, award-winning author of My Dear Miss Dupré Not much happens in Theodosia Stapleton's tiny Northumberland village. Certainly not to her. She has resigned herself to spinsterhood, caring for her ailing mother in the home of her grandfather, known to the locals as "General Contrary." When her dear friend dies and leaves behind a daughter, it's simple enough to take the child into her own quiet world. That is, until her ward's famous uncle unexpectedly arrives and throws Theo's tidy orbit completely off-kilter. Fame was the last thing Daniel Balfour sought when he fought in the Peninsular War. But his brave exploits caught the attention of the King, and now the honors he was given hound him everywhere . . . even on his rushed trip to rescue his orphaned niece. Theo's quick wit and warm smile reassure him that Rebecca is in good hands, and he finds himself free to swiftly return to London and his responsibilities. But those caring hands are beginning to look like they could also safely hold his heart, and he's tempted to linger. Unfortunately, marriage is simply not in the cards; the army is spouse enough for him. Then an accident and a scandal lead both Theo and Daniel to discover that their best-laid plans may not have been what God designed for them after all.

    In Acts, John D. Harvey and David Gentino tease out the multifaceted yet compatible purposes apparent in Acts: showing God the Holy Spirit in action as Jesus's disciples undertook the commission that he gave them; presenting Jesus as Messiah and the source of salvation for all people groups; addressing objections to and accusations against the Christian movement; validating the Gentile mission; and providing models for public proclamation and apologetical defense. Their preaching commentary explores contrasts and corollaries between the church in Acts and the church today, encouraging believers who have the same commission, same empowering Spirit, and same challenges of opposition to the faith and cultural boundaries as did the early church.

    "This work uses the light of Scripture to expose the person and methods of Satan. . . . Pentecost gives us a very useful survey of information on Satan."--Christianity Today Every Christian faces a powerful and cunning enemy--Satan. Victory over this opponent depends on knowing his strategies and schemes and drawing on the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit to stand firm against him. As Pentecost observes, "No individual can be victorious against the adversary of our souls unless he understands that adversary; unless he understands his philosophy, his methods of operation, his methods of temptation. We hear very little today about Satan, and consequently many who recognize Satan's existence and acknowledge that he is the enemy of their souls are ill-prepared to meet him. . . . We do not know what Scripture teaches about his person, his methods, his plans, his program, his devices. Consequently, we fall in defeat."

    "Being single in today's church often feels like a waiting game. You're put on hold in ministry, service, even spiritual growth until you say "I do," and you're either pitied or not seen at all. Unlike today's church, God is not mystified by the presence of unmarried Christ-followers in the pews. In fact, he has masterful plans for those without rings on their fingers. Alisha Plummer points out how God is eager to empower them with purpose and passion. In Confessions of a Christian Spinster, Alisha explores God's design specifically for Christian singlehood through amusing tales and scripturally based truths. She tackles the difficult questions the church often ignores, like: Where do I fit in? Does the church even want me? Has God forgotten about me? What happens if I never get married? Further, she confronts the church, calling for an adjustment to its couple-centric culture, and asking Christians to understand that their single brothers and sisters are not only valued by God but integral to his kingdom. Singles will feel seen through Alisha's words; they'll be encouraged to seize their role in the church and inspire their pastoral staff to reinvent their culture on singleness. Confessions of a Christian Spinster is a powerful resource for those seeking to live and thrive in a perplexed church--and a way forward for the church itself"--

    A charge for pastors to reenvision their role in a world suspicious of Christianity Webster calls pastors to reject "Christendom" approaches to church leadership that require the pastor to exert control over the church's direction and ministry. Such models differ fundamentally from the New Testament "household of faith" vision of pastoral ministry, which affirms the disciple-making responsibility of the whole community, the priesthood of all believers, and the shared gifts of the Spirit. Rather than perpetuate pastoral leadership based on individual initiative, institutional power, and personal charisma, experienced pastor and seminary professor Douglas Webster defines a New Testament model of the pastor, outlining the major features of pastoring among the household of faith, such as: - Viewing the church as an every-member ministry- Seeking synergy between pastoral identity and congregational identity- Prioritizing a pastor's daily rhythms of grace in prayer, study, and care for the body> Such pastoral authority and guidance require mutual submission in Christ. Pastors and laypeople alike let go of dominant cultural models of pastoring and embrace the values of Christ's kingdom.
