| This volume provides a comprehensive survey of the unity and diversity behind biblical conceptions of "God". This is accomplished by respecting the distinctive theology of each canonical book and by placing reflection about God in conversation with major themes of biblical theology (e.g., Christology, pneumatology, anthropology). Four essays examine the Old Testament images of God while ten essays address the way in which God is presented in the New Testament. The volume is rounded off with an essay exploring biblical preaching about God. |

| The Trinity is a basic teaching of the Christian faith. It defines God's essence and describes how He relates to us. The Forgotten Trinity is a concise, understandable explanation of what the Trinity is and why it matters. It refutes cultic distortions of God. It shows how a grasp of this significant teaching leads to renewed worship and deeper understanding of what it means to be a Christian. And amid today's emphasis on the renewing work of the Holy Spirit, The Forgotten Trinity is a balanced look at all three persons of the Trinity. |

| In the aftermath of World War II, Winnie Pfeiffer discovered that her battle was only beginning. When she married her husband, Lee, she was unaware that government doctors had diagnosed him 100% emotionally and mentally disabled due to five years of frontline battle. Life became a constant struggle to endure the intense abuse, hardships, and heartaches of living. Each day proved to be a matter of survival. Instead of living in self-pity, anger, hate, and bitterness, she chose to walk with unwavering trust in God, drawing daily closer to her Lord Jesus, learning to love in spite of the circumstances. Her journey is filled with experiences of the power of God, of angels, and the supernatural. This riveting true story challenges us to learn to walk in God's forgiveness and love, and to allow the Lord to minister His love in spite of impossible circumstances. And just as a beautiful pearl forms due to an irritating grain of sand, so the treasure of a shining soul emerged. |

| Following up her very popular book about the happiness of the contemplative life, A Right to be Merry , Mother Mary Francis tells the story of how a cloistered Poor Clare Community, wholly content to stay where it was, is called forth by God to go abroad and found five more contemplative communities. In her own charming way, she relates the story not only about the spiritual adventure of one contemplative nun, but also about the spread of the contemplative life from New Mexico to Holland. Throughout the book she weaves spiritual themes about the call each person receives from God to venture forth into new revelations of himself made fully possible only by his consent to go beyond the confinements of his own life plan into the broader acres of God's unfolding designs. "Mother Mary Francis offers practical wisdom, from behind cloistered walls, to those of us whose lives are filled with the distractions of a frenetic world. She reminds us that many moments of life have the potential to lead us to holiness." - Cardinal John O'Connor "Penetrating insight into the spousal love and divine beauty that make up the heart of vowed contemplative life as a Poor Clare nun." - Fr. Kenneth Baker, S.J. Mother Mary Francis, P.C.C. , is the abbess of the Poor Clare Monastery in Roswell, New Mexico. She is an accomplished author and writer of thirteen books, seven plays, and numerous poems. Sewn Softcover |

| "He came to pay a debt He didn't owe because I owed a debt I couldn't pay." Murderer. It's a word few people ever expect to apply to them. But for fourteen-year-old Ray, it's suddenly a reality. Provoked by a gang leader into the random shooting of an innocent guy, Ray now faces a forty-year sentence in Chicago's infamous prison system. As far as Ray is concerned, it might as well be for life. In prison, Ray finds his gangbanger ties difficult to escape and even necessary for survival. Just when he's resigned himself to this new existence, though, Ray receives an unexpected gift—forgiveness. Even as he learns that the source of this forgiveness is God, Ray struggles with accepting it. And then the ultimate test comes: When faced with the man who ruined his life, can Ray extend the same forgiveness that has been handed to him?

| Fossil Hunter is an Indiana Jones-style thriller that explores the Intelligent Design controversy from the points of view of two field scientists working in the strife-torn countries of Iran and Pakistan. When paleontologist Dr. Katie James leads an expedition to search for an ancient whale fossil rumored to be in the Iraqi desert, she has no idea her archrival, Nick Murad, will be searching for the same fossil. But then Katie makes a ground-breaking discovery and is forced to collaborate with Nick to analyze the find before it's destroyed by a fundamentalist government faction. Nick and Katie's initial results fly in the face of current scientific theory, and it seems the whole world turns against them, including those they thought they could trust. Then the fossil disappears, sending Nick and Katie on a chase that could cost them their reputations, their careers--even their lives. |
