Adam's Family: A Study of Depravity (Murder, Incest, Deceit, Adultery, Idolatry, Drugs/Alcohol brings to life the rawness of human nature. It depicts how out of line with God mankind has been ever since the first man and woman. The book gives a scholarly and biblically based account of man's fallen nature, offering references from the church fathers, reformists, great Christian commentariats, and some well-known Christians and secular psychologists and psychiatrists. After offering professional and expert references to support the need for reconciliation, the author offers colorful biblical stories from the book of Genesis, which include those of Cain and Abel, Lamech, Canaan, the tower of Babel, and individual stories of the patriarchs, their wives, sons, and daughters. It climaxes with Jesus as the answer to salvation solely by faith through God's grace. It is a scholarly and entertaining work of literature, useful for personal reading and enlightenment or as a textbook or for Bible study. It is one of a kind!

An invitation to a conversation about the direction of our worship life. The Anglican colloquium of the North American Academy of Liturgy acknowledged the need for a collection of insights to aid in the liturgical formation of the Episcopal Church as we move into liturgical revision. The volume's contributions have been shaped around the clauses of resolution A068, looking at the ways in which parishes and individuals can live into this time of revision and creativity. With a shared understanding of our deepest held Christian values, the editors look forward to what the future brings for our collective worship lives and our missional lives as bearers of Christ to a troubled and broken world. This volume provides churches with tools for intelligent, cogent, accessible historical and theological conversation illuminating the way forward for the Episcopal branch of the Jesus movement.
