The stories of Scripture are for everyone. No exceptions. Emmy Kegler has a complicated relationship with the Bible. As a queer woman who grew up in both conservative Evangelical and progressive Protestant churches, she knows too well how Scripture can be used to wound and exclude. And yet, the stories of Scripture continue to captivate and inspire her--both as a person of faith and as a pastor to a congregation. So she set out to fall in love with the Bible, wrestling with the stories inside, where she met a God who continues to seek us out--appearing again and again as a voice, a presence, and a promise. Whenever we are pushed to the edges, our voices silenced, or our stories dismissed, God goes out after us--seeking us until we are found again. And God is seeking out those whose voices we too quickly silence and dismiss, too. Because God's story is a story of welcome and acceptance for everyone--no exceptions. Kegler shows us that even when we feel like lost and dusty coins--rusted from others' indifference, misspent and misused--God picks up a broom and sweeps every corner of creation to find us.

Back-Cover It was the Third Hour and they Crucified Him..The Sixth Hour was come there was darkness over the whole land At the Ninth Hour Jesus uttered a loud cry, and breathed His last.Mark 15:25, 33, 36Two thousand years ago, Jesus ended His earthly life on the Cross as the ramaEUR(tm)s horn blew throughout Jerusalem to call the devout to prayer for the Three OaEUR(tm)Clock Evening Sacrifice in the Temple. He rose three days later as the Fulfillment of the Passover, death into life aEURoetrampling down death by Death.aEURThe discipline of daily fixed times of prayer known as The Hours can be traced down through the centuries from Abraham to Daniel, Jesus to the Apostles, the Early Church Fathers through the Middle Ages to the Reformation. Today, a revival of prayer and meditation based upon the Daily Office of the Hours is emerging. Three times a day, seven days a week, one may pray an ancient hymn, a Psalm, the LordaEUR(tm)s Prayer, selections of Scripture illuminating Jesus upon the Cross, and one or all of the seven historic parts of prayer.We stop three times a day to nourish our body; is it not wise to pause three times a day to nourish our soul and spirit with the prayers of the Little Hours and the Word of God?Thy Words were found and I ate (consumed and digested) them. Jeremiah 15:16aEURoeThis is a work that I am so pleased God moved you to make available. This method of daily prayer certainly was a aEUR~lost coin.aEUR(tm) Thank you!aEURaEUR"Dee Jepsen, former White House Liaison, and wife of Senator Roger JepsenaEURoeI commend you for offering such an historical and wonderful practice (of prayer).aEURaEUR"Haviland Houston, Director, Resources for Christian Educators, American Bible Society

The renowned biblical scholar, author of The Misunderstood Jew, and general editor for The Jewish Annotated New Testament interweaves history and spiritual analysis to explore Jesus’ most popular teaching parables, exposing their misinterpretations and making them lively and relevant for modern readers. Jesus was a skilled storyteller and perceptive teacher who used parables from everyday life to effectively convey his message and meaning. Life in first-century Palestine was very different from our world today, and many traditional interpretations of Jesus’ stories ignore this disparity and have often allowed anti-Semitism and misogyny to color their perspectives. In this wise, entertaining, and educational book, Amy-Jill Levine offers a fresh, timely reinterpretation of Jesus’ narratives. In Short Stories by Jesus, she analyzes these “problems with parables,” taking readers back in time to understand how their original Jewish audience understood them. Levine reveals the parables’ connections to first-century economic and agricultural life, social customs and morality, Jewish scriptures and Roman culture. With this revitalized understanding, she interprets these moving stories for the contemporary reader, showing how the parables are not just about Jesus, but are also about us—and when read rightly, still challenge and provoke us two thousand years later.

This book explores the intended meaning, as well as the implications and applications, of the three parables in Luke 15 (The Good Shepherd and the Lost Sheep, The Good Woman and the Lost Coin, and The Good Father and His Two Lost Sons). It reflects the author's immersion in the language, religion, and culture of the Middle East, demonstrating how meaningful the biblical text becomes when a broad background of study and analysis is permitted to illuminate the text. Western readers will gain an array of new insights from this volume and will be fascinated by the author's nuances of interpretation. The author's analysis shows how the cultural background of Arabic and Muslim theology affects the interpretation of these parables.

In The Lost Coin, Stephen Rowley shares his lifelong journey—searching for his birth parents, seeking his true identity, and discovering his soul’s calling. We join him when, as a boy growing up in Iowa, he visits Chicago for the first time and is shocked by blatant racial segregation and sprawling urban poverty. We see Stephen as a young athlete sustaining a life-changing injury, then becoming radicalized at the University of Wisconsin, entering the field of education at Stanford, and becoming a visionary school administrator before being fired by a vindictive Silicon Valley school board. He plays golf with a Tibetan lama, and experiences transcendence in a vivid dream, ultimately becoming a psychotherapist in his sixties. We witness the heart-rending scene when he and his wife adopt their own son, and we join him for a poignant reunion with his birth mother, who, it turns out, had desperately hoped he might appear in her life after she’d given him up for adoption. As we accompany Stephen Rowley on this adventurous and reflective journey, we come to understand more deeply the trauma engendered when separating mother from child, and the unspoken restlessness and yearning for connection many adoptees feel. “It is my hope,” he writes, that we all “may discover the unique capacity within us to heal and even thrive, not in spite of the wounds we carry, but because of them.”
