| As modern Christians shift their focus back to orthodoxy, a corresponding resurgence of interest in monastic life and thought has emerged. Hannah Ward and Jennifer Wild, longtime collaborators, believe that much wisdom can be gained from those who have lived the monastic life. Their Monastic Way offers inspirational daily readings drawn from the writings of monastics in all the major spiritual traditions of the Eastern and Western churches Benedictine, Franciscan, Orthodox, Carmelite, and so on.Covering a year's time, The Monastic Way links the qualities of everyday monastic life to the practical everydayness of all human life. Each month focuses on a specific theme living with others, balancing life, working for justice, etc. and each theme is introduced by quotations from one of the great monastic Rules. For every day of the year there is an excerpt from the writings of men and women across the centuries, from fifth-century Desert Mothers to Basil Hume, Joan Chittister, Thomas Merton, and hundreds of others.At once practical and sublime, this collection will prove valuable to students of ancient culture, those intrigued by monastic life, and all who are looking for ancient wisdom relevant to modern living. |

| Fired by the passion to take the message of the gospel beyond the walls of the church, Jerry Cook challenges Christians to reconsider their role in society. He emphasizes that the church on Monday operates in the experience of the non believer where the greatest impact for God can occur. He encourages Christians to consider themselves strategically placed by Jesus Christ to go to the non believer rather than having them come to God. Drawing from the book of Ephesians, he challenges traditional thinking of how ministry occurs and what the church should be while presenting an exciting new paradigm of living for Christ. |

| In these days of economic uncertainty, and in a society that values financial security, money is an emotional topic. Appearances and lifestyle matter to us. And money-or the lack of it--often determines whether or not we're content. The truth is, our attitudes toward money and possessions reflect the quality of our relationship with God. And, according to the Scriptures, our view of money reveals where our true affections lie. Prosperity is not a sin, but it does bring responsibilities. And scarcity is not a virtue, particularly when it distracts us from the things that truly matter. In this six-week study you will discover God's view of material wealth. As you dig into the Scriptures, you'll learn where money comes from, you'll see how we're supposed to handle it, and you'll understand how to live an abundant life, regardless of your financial circumstances. |
