| This study is a new and distinctive approach to theology. It integrates the historical, biblical, systematic, apologetic, and practical fields. Integrative theology involves six steps: 1. Defining a distinct problem or subject for inquiry 2. Learning alternative approaches to the topic 3. Articulating a coherent summary of Old and New Testament teaching 4. Formulating a cohesive doctrine and relating it to other biblical doctrines and other knowledge 5. Defending the doctrine 6. Applying the doctrine as a driving force for Christian life and ministry. The complete three-book set now has been brought together in one volume to address the following topics: Book One: Knowing Ultimate Reality: The Living God - Book Two: Our Primary Need: Christ's Atoning Provisions - Book Three: Spirit-Given Life: God's People Present and Future. |

| In this path-breaking book, Dr. Henry Cloud shows what integrity is, how it is lived in everyday experience, and what one must do to determine whether you are perceived as someone with character and integrity. Central to question of integrity is whether a person has the courage to face up to reality. Cloud shows how the ability to address adversity, to learn lessons from it, and adjust one’s behavior is a greater determinant of success than brains or talent or charm. He shows that successful leaders have competencies, alliances and, most important, character. Then he examines exactly what behaviors constitute character and how they are expressed in real life situations. Assessing and building the six essential qualities of character is the goal of this book. It will be used widely by a range of people because the things he identifies apply equally across regions, cultures and classes. |

| This book is an exploration surrounding the issues of being church in the twenty-first century and a journey toward a community that is inclusive, messy, honest, purposeful, generous, vulnerable, sustainable, and diverse. Many people today believe that churches are simply out of touch with reality at best or judgmental and exclusive at worst. And yet the Jesus we serve is seen to be forgiving, wise, generous, and gracious. Why is there such a disconnect? Steve Chalke seeks to reclaim the true heartbeat of the church--the passion to save not itself, but the world. In a work that is rooted in deep theology while being highly practical, he outlines a church whose mission and outlook is fully rooted in its understanding of a loving, welcoming God. A church that is inclusive, welcoming all people. A church that is purposeful, marked by a mission to equip its members in their frontline work. A church that is generous, vulnerable, and sustainable. What we need today is an intelligent church--not cerebral or intellectual, but rather joined up and authentic--a church that makes sense of both the Bible and of life. |

| Few topics cause hotter discussions in the fields of science, education, and religion today than Intelligent Design.
