| The nature of Baptist identity has come to a place of critical importance in Baptist studies. What exactly constitutes a Baptist? Tom Nettles seeks to answer this fascinating question through examining the lives of some of the most high profile and influential Baptists in history.The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky has a library loaded with Baptist materials including a rich archival collection, which Tom found indispensable for this book. Nettles establishes a clearly identifiable profile of Baptists. He looks at many influential spokesmen for Baptist lives who embraced the bible as an unerring divine revelation. From John Spilsbury to William Carey we are taken on an enlightening journey through the origin and expansion of the Baptist Church. Tom Nettles has produced a book that is wonderfully informative and, through its profiles of God honouring historical figures, should serve us encouragement to all Christians today. |

| Baptized in the Spirit creatively discusses the most recent trends in Pentecostal and charismatic theology, especially as this newer theological thinking confronts ecumenical and contextual challenges. The volume makes a sincere attempt to integrate a concentration on the Holy Spirit with evangelical truth and the practical challenges of obedience to the gospel in various cultural and social contexts. More than simply a survey of Pentecostal and charismatic discussions of theology, it is suggestive of how a more robust foundation for the Spirit in life can renew Christian theology in the twenty-first century. Macchia begins by focusing on the significance of the Holy Spirit in reciprocal and mutual work with the Son in fulfilling the will of the Father. He shows how the pneumatological emphases in Pentecostal and charismatic theology can help to correct the tendency in Western Christianity to subordinate the Spirit to the Word. Beginning from this foundation, Macchia demonstrates how this mode of thinking affects all the other elements of the theological enterprise, such as hermeneutics, Christology, soteriology, ecclesiology, and eschatology. Baptized in the Spirit engagingly demonstrates how contemporary trends in Pentecostal and charismatic thinking can aid the cause of ecumenism and global Christianity. |

| Anthony Quinn stars in this epic Bible story of Barabbas, the prisoner set free in the place of Christ who returns to a life of thievery. Only late in his life, when Barabbas himself faces crucifixion, does he finally discover his faith. Made with an intelligent script, and a dazzling production design with many beautiful scenes shot like tableaux in a style reminiscent of the great masters of art.

| Using Jesus' words about John the Baptist in Matthew 11, Erwin McManus urges readers to flee "civilized" religion and return to the "barbarian way" of following Christ. Erwin McManus wasn't raised in a Christian home, so when he came to Christ as a college student, he didn't know the rules of the "religious club." He didn't do well in Shakespeare courses, so he didn't really understand the KJV Bible he was given either. But he did understand that prayer was a conversation, and he learned to talk to God and wait for answers. Erwin's way was passionate and rough around the edges-a sincere, barbaric journey to Christ. Barbaric Christians see Jesus differently than civilized Christians. They see disciples differently, and they see Christ's mission differently. The Barbarian Way is a call to escape "civilized"Christianity and become original, powerful, untamed Christians-just as Christ intended. |

| This is a book for any time when consolation is needed or when questions arise about suffering and about the meaning of life. Barbed Wire and Thorns explores Jesus and His struggle to fulfill his calling, especially in His last days. These are meditations that follow Jesus as He suffers and approaches the Cross. The book includes suggested readings from the Gospels and poetic reflections on what it might have been like for Jesus. During these reflections, questions arise about temptation and the struggle against evil, about illness and other forms of suffering, and about the bread of life and atonement.The author is a pastor and also suffers from the chronic illness fibromyalgia; thus, she has special insight into the theme of suffering as a Christian. This book is ideal as a Lenten devotional. It is not a simplistic book and yet should appeal to many thoughtful Christians who long for a closer identification with the suffering of Jesus in the midst of their own trouble. |
