What Jesus Meant
In what are billed âculture wars,â people on the political right and the political left cite Jesus as endorsing their views. But in this New York Times-bestselling masterpiece, Garry Wills argues that Jesus subscribed to no political program. He was far more radical than that. In a fresh reading of the gospels, Wills explores the meaning of the âreign of heavenâ Jesus not only promised for the future but brought with him into this life. It is only by dodges and evasions that people misrepresent what Jesus plainly had to say against power, the wealthy, and religion itself. But Wills is just as critical of those who would make Jesus a mere ethical teacher, ignoring or playing down his divinity. An illuminating analysis for believers and nonbelievers alike, What Jesus Meant is a brilliant addition to our national conversation on religion.

Millions of hearts were touched by its warmth and wisdom.Now, in “The First Gift of Christmas, ” Richard Paul Evans takes us to the next level of understanding, inviting us to search our souls for the true meaning of Christmas.

Outgrowing the Ingrown Church
This is a book for pacesetters — church leaders who desire to help their churches break free of the things that turn them in on themselves and keep them from being outward-looking and outward-moving communities of Jesus Christ. The ingrown church is a common phenomenon. It is the “norm” for contemporary evangelical and Protestant churches. But ingrownness is a pathology. It can destroy the vital spiritual health of a church. It must, therefore, be combated with the norms of Scripture. And that is why this book was written. Outgrowing the Ingrown Church is a masterful mix of biblical principle, objective analysis, and personal experience. It traces the author’s own growing awareness of the problem of ingrownness in his calling as a pastor, seminary professor, and evangelist/missionary. In his own discovery of the power and presence of God he discovered the tendency of the church to live by its own power and resources. This is a book written to help change churches by changing the individuals who read it. It offers one an unparalleled challenge to be evaluated, revitalized, and then used by God for the work of ministry. Thus it is a book not merely for pastors, but for the whole body of Christ. “I have never been as excited about any book concerning church growth as when I read this book . . . . (His biblical) principles, if followed, transform individual lives and then lead to a movement within a church to change the whole congregation,” writes John Guest in the foreword.

No Longer a Slumdog: Bringing Hope to Children in Crisis
âHe would lock me in a small room with the animals. Days turned into weeks, and my stomach would growl. He never gave me enough to eat,â said Nadish. âWeeks turned into months, and my body would ache. The work was hard, and there was never enough time to rest. Months turned into years, and I began to think that this would never end.â
But through a miraculous event, Nadish found his way back into the loving embrace of his mother. Dr. K.P. Yohannanâs book, No Longer a Slumdog, unveils the true-life accounts of many of South Asiaâs children, like Nadish. The message hits hard. He speaks of âwinds of changeâ and a powerful move of God.
The childrenâs stories tell of going from a life of heartache and poverty to finding joy, laughter and a bright future. Despite the affliction these children face, Yohannan shows us thereâs opportunity for change as many find new life in Godâs redeeming love.
No Longer a Slumdog inspires faith that a better tomorrow is truly possible.
