| Solution-Focused Pastoral Counseling introduces a fresh, effective, and time-saving approach that will benefit pastors overtaxed by counseling demands. Dr. Charles A. Kollar shows that counseling need not be long-term to produce dramatic results. In most cases, the solution lies with the counselees themselves. Pastors, apart from therapists, are well equipped to help the counselees discover it and put it in motion speedily and productively. Solution-Focused Pastoral Counseling shifts the emphasis from the problem to the strengths, vision, and practical solutions that lie within the individual. Stressing that God is already active in the counselee, Dr. Kollar first lays the theological and theoretical groundwork for short-term counseling. Then he shows how to apply theory to practical, short-term sessions that help people get back on track in their marriage, family living, and other aspects of life. Kollar recognizes that there is a time to refer to a Christian specialist, but he warns against today's ready-referral mindset. What is generally needed, he believes, is neither professional help nor long-term counseling, but a new paradigm based on Christian identity. Like "new wineskins," Christians are fashioned not for the old wine of problem-oriented therapy, but the new wine of God's life-changing grace. |

| "Counselors unanimously find that marriage and family problems outnumber all other counseling problems combined," writes Jay Adams. "For that reason alone, counselors should want to learn all they can about marriage counseling." This is a book to help counselors understand and deal with typical problems that arise in a marriage. The approach is to offer not merely solutions, but biblical solutions. Chapter by chapter, each problem that is brought into focus is addressed by Scripture, and a solution arising from Scripture is developed. Unless one understands what a biblical marriage is supposed to be, it is difficult to solve marriage problems. For that reason, Dr. Adams spends the first few chapters developing a biblical model. Then he treats many of the specific kinds of problems that typically arise: life patterns, priorities, children, sex-roles, in-laws, etc. This is a book that belongs on every pastor's and every counselor's shelf. |

| Scholars have long debated the "double character" of Romans. Why did Paul address a long discussion of Jewish themes to a Gentile audience? Das provides a fresh understanding of the identity and attitudes of the Gentile Christians in Rome and of the expulsion of Jews from Rome under the emperor Claudius. His reading offers new insight into Paul's concern for the Jewish roots of the Christ movement. |

| " I can hardly wish you anything better than seriously considering what you do with your time. Using time well is the greatest wisdom and work of life." William PennAs a Quaker preacher, minister, and missionary in the late seventeenth century, William Penn was imprisoned for his faith many times. After being falsely accused of treason, Penn was forced into hiding. During those three years of imposed solitude, he had time to think, reflect, and reevaluates. This book is the product of that solitude. In it, Penn distills the essence of his spiritual idealism, combining it with practicality and common sense.Translated into today's English by Eric K. Taylor, Penn's wisdom is even more accessible to the contemporary reader. In this new edition, Penn's voice can once again be heard in its simplicity and timelessness sharing his fruits of solitude. |

| Because he is best known for his comedy, the soft-side of Mark Lowry is often overshadowed. It takes a rare pure musical offering from the comedian and songwriter to remind us that Mark Lowry is also a writer of such songs as “Mary Did You Know.” It is the serious side of Mark Lowry that takes center stage in Some Things Never Change, an 11-cut CD which features new Lowry-penned tracks and much-loved classics. |
