Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Have you ever wondered about the gifts of tongues, prophecy, or the Baptism of the Holy Spirit? So many opinions and points of view vary on these topics. Are they for today? Did they die with the apostles? This book takes a look at these issues with a panoramic journey throughout the Bible in both the Old and New Testaments, their effects in church history, and what that means for us today. If you have ever wondered or struggled with these topics, then this book is for you. The Holy Spirit and his work have largely been ignored in the church today simply because most have never taken time to study and understand his activity throughout the entirety of the Bible. Dr. Jeremiah Campbell not only does a stellar job weaving the story of the Holy Spirit's role in the Old and New Testaments, but also his function in the early church and today. I highly recommend this as a teaching resource for those who would like to help people understand just who the Holy Spirit is and his significance to the modern-day Christ follower. --Bob North, Lead Pastor, Neighborhood Church, Sunnyside, WA Jeremiah Campbell serves as a missionary in Bolivia with his wife Marj and their two children. Together they develop college campus ministries and train pastors. Jeremiah also serves as an Associate Professor of Christian Education at Global University, and an Adjunct Professor of Adult and Professional Studies at Northwest University. Jeremiah holds a BA and MEd from Washington State University, an MA and MDiv from Global University, and a DMin from Talbot School of Theology at Biola University.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. In this provocative follow-up to his enormously influential A Rabbi Talks with Jesus, Jacob Neusner challenges the apostle Paul to debate the true meaning and significance of Judaism. Drawing new boundaries for Jewish-Christian dialogue, Neusner contends that Paul's misinterpretation of Judaism - a misinterpretation perpetuated today by many Christians and Jews - has resulted in the widespread perception of Judaism as ethnic and particular, and Christianity as universal. Yet as Neusner clearly demonstrates, just as Christianity presents an option to all of God's faithful, so too does Judaism's mediation of the voice of God at Sinai echo across the entire world.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. The story of Good Friday and Easter Day is dramatized through the device of man-on-the-street interviews. As a radio reporter tries to obtain details of the crucifixion, we hear the viewpoints of many people who witnessed the events, from children to a Roman soldier to a rabbi to some of the disciples. Then we hear radio announcers on the scene reporting the astounding good news of the resurrection. With parts for 6 men, 2 women, and 3 children, Were You There? is an excellent way to bring the Passion story to life while involving many members of your congregation. Raymond I.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Benedictions is about the presence of the sacred in ordinary things: the ground beneath our feet, the ways we bless each other, loss and grief, the making of our homes, even doubt and darkness. In the everyday experiences described here, God's presence is palpable and real. Cleave the wood and I am there, says Isaiah in the apocryphal gospel of Thomas. Lift up the stone and you will find me there. These benedictions--literally good words, blessings, tastes of God--remind readers to live life with feeling and passion and art, to pay attention to the holiness of the commonplace. Each reflection opens a door inviting the reader into an experience they might understand as an encounter with God, and an exploration of the many meanings of the sacred. Benedictions is also a personal collection about places and people, seasons of life, and seasons of experience that convey much more than the ordinary. A statement and questions for further conversation and discussion follow each reflection. Hopefully, readers will discover their own benedictions here in the wonder, grace, and mystery of God's presence in daily life. These earthy reflections from Julie Aageson offer spiritual refuge for anyone who lives an ordinary, yet busy life. You can almost smell the ocean and cedar of her childhood as she paints you into the canvas of God's sacred presence. Relax and let the Holy take you in. --Terri Lackey, Director for Communication, Women of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America Aageson's reflections lead us on a trail of rich storytelling, uplifting ways we experience God's presence in our everyday lives. Stop along the way to savor each one. Leave refreshed and grateful for the tug of God's hand in yours, leading you to become an ongoing benediction in the world. --Sandra Anderson, Children's Christian educator and curriculum writer Personal, yet universal. Julie Aageson's lovely writing captures the holiness of everyday things and experiences. She invites us through her finely crafted reflections to pause in our busy lives and notice God's presence all around us. At the end of each reflection essay, Julie encourages us to pause and reflect, either as a solo reader, in a family or other small group, with questions to draw out our own memories, ponderings, and benedictions. --Beth A. Lewis, President & CEO, Augsburg Fortress Benedictions by Julie K. Aageson overflows with blessings. With exquisite attention to the 'ordinary, ' Aageson draws us into pondering where we find meaning, shelter, comfort, company, hope, beauty, resurrection, purpose, and God in daily living. Hers is the voice of a friend, opening her home, and speaking lovingly and elegantly of the places, people, events, and deeds that reveal 'God's face in the journey that is life.' --Elna K. Solvang, Professor, Department of Religion, Concordia College Julie K. Aageson has served as a resource specialist and writer for the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.

Paperback. Zustand: Good. It seems that the only time we're not hurrying is when we're rushing. By the time we heed the calls of smartphones, iPods, iPads, emails, podcasts, downloads, app shopping, YouTubing, web browsing, posting, and responding to posts, we've ridden the amped-up hurry-train so far that we're lost. In fact, the last items in our list (posting and responding to posts) sound so much like marrying and giving in marriage that we might well conclude that we are wedded to whipped-up drivenness. We need a fast from going fast. The gospel of Christ calls us to rest, but learning how takes time. We're invited to ease off the hurry-train and learn the pace of waiting. But waiting for what? To become a bit more like Jesus, who lived at a breathtakingly still point before the one who sent him.…

Paperback. Zustand: Fair. A Christian who truly walks the radical way of the cross. Phil Berrigan overturns the tables of injustice and summons us to love our enemies and worship the God of peace. Like Thoreau, Ghandi, King, and Dorothy Day, Phil Berrigan exemplifies courage. He is both an inspiration and a challenge to me and countless others. Here is a true hero of our turbulent times. --Martin Sheen Few nations in history have had a prophet of Phil Berrigan's stature. With iron intransigency he has stood in the breach leading to nuclear omnicide. The state has tried to quash his witness time after time; arrests, lockups, long sentences, all the paraphernalia of intimidation. Why doesn't it work? What enable this jack-in-the-box prophet to pop up, again and again? Find out. Read this book. --Walter Wink, author, Engaging the Powers How important it is for our children to know this history of courage, risk, and commitment that they won't find in history books. --Grace Paley I have been waiting for Phil Berrigan's autobiography and it is a pleasure to read. His words have the direct, simple eloquence of his actions. He provokes and inspires, and dares to be critical of himself even as he recounts a life committed to peace, justice, and community. --Howard Zinn One of the best books I have ever read. I loved its honest probing of the thoughts, feelings, and actions of an unusually sensitive, occasionally wrong-headed, but clearly not self-righteous pioneer in the struggle for a better world. Its acute analyses of the periods in which Phil had lived, from before World War II to the present, are invaluable contributions to real history. --David Dellinger, author, From Yale to Jail It is difficult to be dispassionate about the Berrigans. No one who knows them can doubt that they are heroic individuals, willing to do what many realize should be done, regardless of the personal cost. . . . There are not too many people of whom this can honestly be said. --Noam Chomsky Philip Berrigan was a World War II veteran, a Catholic priest and a pacifist. He was also a writer and a visionary who inspired people to speak truth to power. Fred A. Wilcox is an honors graduate of the University of Iowa Writer's Workshop. He is the author of Waiting for an Army to Die: The Tragedy of Agent Orange.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Aspects of Love is a book for those - worn out by cynicism - fatigued by sensory assault - wearied by the drive to experience new thrills - made fragile by the trivial - sickened by a lack of spiritual depth In a world that longs for intimacy, this book casts a long ray of hope. J. Barrie Shepherd offers the loving gift of gentle, unhurried reflection on 1 Corinthians 13. He frames his thoughtful reflections in three parts: The Necessity of Love, The Qualities of Love, and The Endurance of Love. Writing with the poet's sensitivity toward language and rhythm, Shepherd uses verses of scripture from 1 Corinthians 13 to examine facets of love, including communication, irritability, kindness, jealousy, humility, forgiveness happiness, and hope. He draws from the works of Golda Meir, Paul Tournier, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Winston Churchhill and closes each chapter with a prayer. God can dazzle us with the magnificance of the universe. But the heart of the universe reveals its glory in the compassion, grace, and love that come to us when we need it most, telling us, . You matter. --J. Barrie Shepherd The Reverend Dr. J.
