| A perceptive evaluation of the new "emerging church" movement showing how we must not only interact with a fast-changing culture but also have our vision and practice of ministry shaped by biblical theology with Scripture as the norm.From the Back CoverA careful and informed assessment of the "emerging church" by a respected author and scholar The "emerging church" movement has generated a lot of excitement and exerts an astonishingly broad influence. Is it the wave of the future or a passing fancy? Who are the leaders and what are they saying? The time has come for a mature assessment. D. A. Carson not only gives those who may be unfamiliar with it a perceptive introduction to the emerging church movement, but also includes a skillful assessment of its theological views. Carson addresses some troubling weaknesses of the movement frankly and thoughtfully, while at the same time recognizing that it has important things to say to the rest of Christianity. The author strives to provide a perspective that is both honest and fair. Anyone interested in the future of the church in a rapidly changing world will find this an informative and stimulating read. D. A. Carson (Ph.D., University of Cambridge) is research professor of New Testament at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in Deerfield, Illinois. He is the author of over 45 books, including the Gold Medallion Award-winning book The Gagging of God, and is general editor of Telling the Truth and Worship by the Book. He has served as a pastor and is an active guest lecturer in church and academic settings around the world. |

| God created each of us with the capacity to feel and to express emotions. In fact, emotional well-being is as vital to overall wholeness as physical and spiritual well-being. Unfortunately, many people are scared or overwhelmed by their emotions, so they lock them away, hiding them from themselves and those they love.More than just part of what makes us human, emotions are a gift from God, meant to be shared and enjoyed. In Becoming Emotionally Whole, Dr. Charles Stanley identifies the barriers to emotional wholeness and reveals seven keys to attaining emotional health and, ultimately, experiencing God's presence more fully. |

| The Revolve, Refuel, and Becoming BibleZines( created a sensation among teens, media, and families. Finally-a Bible that helps people encounter God in a contemporary format. The Becoming Journal takes that encounter to the next level by offering women an attractive place to reflect on life, faith, and other issues that concern them. The journal is mostly unlined to encourage free-form expression, and although there are quotes and scriptures throughout, the journal is not directed-this is about inspiration and desires, not more duties! The two-color Becoming Journal closely complements the look of the Becoming BibleZine( so they can be displayed together. The Becoming Journal is a great way for women to capture their thoughts as they read and learn from this new Bible format. |

| Most of us live in a state of unreality, afraid to show our true self. But deep inside, like the renowned Velveteen Rabbit, we long to become real. Weary of masking true struggles, most of us long for transparency and ache for the embrace of a God who meets them amid the mess of life. Award-winning author Steven James offers an open invitation for those daring enough to venture into a new realm of vulnerability, where it is admirable to be honest about shortcomings, genuine with love, and unguarded about motives. Divided into sections on Embarking, Awakening, and Emerging, this book outlines a process that leads to a more abundant life as pretense and defensiveness are left behind. |
