What kind of book is the Bible? Is it a rulebook or a guidebook for moral living? Is it a history book or a book filled with fascinating (and sometimes fantastic) stories? Did humans write the Bible or did God somehow speak a perfect message that the authors transcribed? Many people have asked these questions about the nature of this beautiful, odd, comforting, disturbing book the church calls its “Holy Scripture.” Charlotte Vaughan Coyle shares her own journey to make sense of the Bible in this read-through-the-Bible-in-a-year project. She discovered that the crucial work of asking hard questions and even arguing with the Bible revealed the Scriptures to be a symphony of polyphonic voices, a work of art that paints an alternative vision of reality, a complex novel-like story unavoidably embedded in its own culture and time, and yet able to give witness to the God beyond history who has acted (and continues to act) within history. With the heart of a pastor and the passion of a preacher, Rev. Coyle invites seekers and students (both churched and un-churched) to strap on their scuba gear and join her for a deeper dive beneath the surface of this immense, colorful, mysterious world of the Bible.

Every day is such a big surprise because of the things I see when I open my eyes Every day is such a big surprise The things I see when I open my eyes. When I wake in the morning the first things I see Are my mom and dad, smiling at me. I rush to eat, then outside to play To see what great things I can see today. As I start to play, I look around To see what things I can find on the ground. I see a caterpillar and then a worm I love to watch them wiggle and squirm. I'm having fun spinning around, Then I get dizzy and fall to the ground. As I lay on the ground I look up to the sky And watch the birds and planes fly by. I'm going to eat lunch and nap for awhile I always wake from my nap with a smile. I'm off to sleep and I cannot wait for the surprise Of the new things I will see when I open my eyes.

A Gospel-Rich, Reproducible Model for Making Disciples as Jesus Intended Biblical discipleship emphasizes encouragement, repentance, and spiritual growth—essential parts of the Christian life. However, well-meaning believers often struggle to follow Jesus, unaware their views are too legalistic, licentious, or individualistic. How can churches and Christians develop a healthy, successful path to disciple-making? In this second edition of Gospel-Centered Discipleship, Jonathan Dodson presents an effective, Spirit-led model for sanctification. Reminding readers that real discipleship is imperfect yet transformational, Dodson encourages Christians to engage more authentically with others as they grow in faith. Drawing from his own failures and successes while following Jesus, Dodson defines discipleship, describes the heart of a disciple, and gives practical guidance for mentor and peer-based discipleship as Jesus intended. Revised and Expanded: Includes three new chapters and new illustrations Applicable: Shows how discipleship can be practical and gospel-centered Theological: Addresses the Holy Spirit's involvement in discipleship Foreword by Matt Chandler: Author of The Explicit Gospel

In this New York Times bestseller, Isaac Lidsky draws on his experience of achieving immense success, joy, and fulfillment while losing his sight to a blinding disease to show us that it isn’t external circumstances, but how we perceive and respond to them, that governs our reality. Fear has a tendency to give us tunnel vision—we fill the unknown with our worst imaginings and cling to what’s familiar. But when confronted with new challenges, we need to think more broadly and adapt. When Isaac Lidsky learned that he was beginning to go blind at age thirteen, eventually losing his sight entirely by the time he was twenty-five, he initially thought that blindness would mean an end to his early success and his hopes for the future. Paradoxically, losing his sight gave him the vision to take responsibility for his reality and thrive. Lidsky graduated from Harvard College at age nineteen, served as a Supreme Court law clerk, fathered four children, and turned a failing construction subcontractor into a highly profitable business. Whether we’re blind or not, our vision is limited by our past experiences, biases, and emotions. Lidsky shows us how we can overcome paralyzing fears, avoid falling prey to our own assumptions and faulty leaps of logic, silence our inner critic, harness our strength, and live with open hearts and minds. In sharing his hard-won insights, Lidsky shows us how we too can confront life's trials with initiative, humor, and grace.

In this adventurous, modern-day story, Opie, a childlike alien from the planet Dwovy (Dwəʊ-vi) is in a race to save his planet from extinction. Dwovians believe that the answer to their plight is found in humans. They have been hard at work on planet Earth and are close to having it figured out. After being discovered by a suburban couple, Neil Reese and his pregnant wife, will Opie still be able to find a way to save his planet? Meanwhile, some extraordinary scientists on the other end of the country, Dr. Leslie McCabe and physicist Dr. Chepp Duplay, are narrowing in on proof of alien existence. In an interesting turn of events, this unlikely group comes together and discovers information that will change the world forever, including our understanding of what it means to be human. Ultimately, the future of two planets is in their hands. Many questions run through their minds as they try to decide what to do. Can Opie be trusted, or will the Dwovians’ plans harm humankind? Time is ticking away, and depending on the decisions this group makes, one planet may not survive.
