Help Children Embrace a Slower, Gentler Pace of Life Imagine being stuck on a crazy merry-go-round that wont stop. Youre spinning endlessly. You cant pause, focus, or catch your breath, and its starting to get scary.This is the reality for many children today, caught in the frantic pace of life. Forces beyond their control rush them along, skipping important transitions and cutting corners on meaningful processes. Children are moving so fast that theres little room for God in their thoughts or on their calendars. As a result, theyre left struggling to establish roots in community, reliable morals, or any kind of relationship with God.The good news is its possible to help children experience life at a slower pace. You can push back against the demands of our superficial, artificial, automatic, and always-on culture. In Savoring Childhood, Grace Pouch offers small steps you can take to help children experience life at a pace where friendship with God has the time and space to flourish.Drawn from an average familys experiments with resisting the rush of life and applying spiritual formation wisdom from voices such as Dallas Willard and Richard Foster, this book presents practical ways to slow things down so that children (and the grown-ups who love them) can experience and savor the world at a soul-sustaining pace.With Savoring Childhood, youll learn how to resist the formation of spirit-harming habits and appetites, set a pace that supports freedom, connection, and depth, and nurture skills for healthy relationships with God and others. God designed childhood to be abundant. With a little practical guidance, we can reclaim the spaciousness kids need to experience awe, practice patience, exercise creativity, and grow up surrounded by a sense of Gods presence and love. Savoring Childhood is your invitation to slow things down and give your kids the gift of flourishing.

Seeing Sabbath as the Gospels Call to Resist, Reimagine, and Reclaim The worlds relentless push for "more and better" reflects a value system that is individualistic and economically exploitative, leaving Christians and the church itself exhausted. Amid this weariness, Sabbath emerges as not merely a day of rest, but a powerful, countercultural invitation to push back.In Sabbath Gospel, G. P. Wagenfuhr and Amy J. Erickson invite us to consider Sabbath as much more than a cessation from work. Sabbath is a grand exodus from tiring economic regimes and the empty promise of self-actualization. By expanding our vision of Sabbath beyond the Creation story, we vacate the idol of the world and take our place in the household of God, the church, where Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath. In this robust biblical theology, scholars, theologians, and pastors find a fresh approach to Sabbath that moves us beyond empty practices and renews our language about the gospel.What youll find in Sabbath Gospel: A transformative view of Sabbath as communal resistance against the exploitative value systems of the world Interdisciplinary insights into the Biblical theology of Sabbath A call to live out Sabbath anew in Gods reconciled community Sabbath Gospel challenges readers to rethink Sabbath, moving beyond individualistic notions of rest. Sabbath is not just about stepping back from work for personal rejuvenation but about stepping into Gods householda reconciled community where rest is shared, burdens are lifted, and the gospel is renewed in our lives. Reimagine your view of Sabbath with Sabbath Gospel.

The Revolutionary Power of Loving Your NeighborDiscover the transformational power of neighbor-love in theologian and ethicist Andrew DeCorts Reviving the Golden Rule. This thought-provoking work illuminates the revolutionary ethics of loving your neighbor, weaving together history, theology, and practical guidance. Through this in-depth historical survey of the ethics of neighbor-love, DeCort invites readers to reclaim loving their neighbor as a powerful force for justice, healing, and human flourishing.The biblical charges to "love your neighbor as yourself" and to "do to others as you would have them do to you" are at the heart of Abrahamic faith. DeCort argues that they are also at the heart of some of the most groundbreaking developments in human rights and the common good. Jesus taught neighbor-love and promised, "Do this and you will flourish."But Christians today are at high risk of ignoring or overthrowing the most daring teaching of Jesus movement. Having heard it repeatedly and having benefited immensely from its cultural effects, we have become dulled to neighbor-loves revolutionary power.In response, Reviving the Golden Rule: Explores the ethics of neighbor-love from the ancient world to modern times. Examines how neighbor-love challenges the oppressive power of "othering" and expands human connection. Highlights inspiring figures like Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Mother Teresa, and Oscar Romero, who practiced neighbor-love among marginalized communities. Addresses instances where Christians have failed to uphold neighbor-love. Provides practical guidance on how to love and embrace "othered" neighbors today. In one of the only historical and constructive works on the ethics of neighbor-love, DeCort invites us to reclaim this ancient movement.

Assim como a igreja, ao longo dos séculos, enfrentou crises teológicas acerca da divindade de Cristo e da justificaço pela fe, vivemos hoje uma crise antropologica sem precedentes. Em muitas comunidades crists, mesmo entre aqueles que conhecem as respostas corretas sobre quem e Jesus e como somos salvos, encontramos uma compreenso fragilizada sobre o que significa ser humano.Em O que e ser humano, o teologo britanico Iain W. Provan utiliza a metafora do cuco europeu um parasita que se infiltra em ninhos alheios e destroi a familia hospedeira para descrever como ideias no biblicas sobre a humanidade tem invadido sorrateiramente nossas comunidades.
