| Weaving together the strong threads of family and friends in a pattern of grace, forgiveness, and kindness, A Can of Peas invites readers into a place where every day brings a new story and neighbors are more than just people who live down the road. Sometimes funny and often poignant, these vignettes will draw both men and women into the reassuring rhythms of life as it ought to be_and as it still is in the heart of America. After the death of his grandfather, Peter Morgan and his new bride, Mae, face a life-changing decision: should they embrace the career-chasing ambitions of their family and friends in St. Paul or accept the absurd challenge of saving the family farm in the Minnesota countryside? Enticed by the romance of a simple, quiet life, the Morgans set out to follow in the footsteps of Peter's grandparents. Soon, Peter is farming around the clock, barely one step ahead of failure as Mae struggles to find her place in Peter's life and in the community. Will the strain of saving the farm tear their marriage apart? Was it a mistake to dream? |

| Harding refuses to accept "But we're just a small church" as an excuse for not doing effective ministry. Since his 1998 arrival at Dellrose United Methodist Church in Wichita, Kansas, membership has grown from 25 to more than 600. The church has matured spiritually and financial as well. Harding attributes the growth to dynamic teaching, fellowship, praise and worship, and the fact everyone can feel the love of God, find the joy of Christ, and experience the power of the Holy Spirit. Dellrose has also been able to develop relevant and meaningful ministries: a youth center that includes a tutoring and mentoring program; a counseling center; and sermons and studies that address the needs of a multi-ethnic, blue-collar working community. |

| Does God endorse music of every kind, regardless of its structure or features? Put another way, is there any music which does not get his seal of approval? Tightening this even further, are there musical forms or ways of using music that violate biblical principles and which Christians should therefore reject? The authors of this book, John Blanchard & Dan Lucarini, sincerely believe that there are, and the question takes on an even greater urgency as many influential church leaders and popular Christian musicians have recently claimed that God endorses all kinds of music without distinction. This book is an expression of their convictions and concerns. In writing this new book the authors have drawn heavily on the research of Pop goes the Gospel, first published in 1983 and Why I left the Contemporary Christian Music Movement, first published in 2002, and on the experience in handling the vast amount of feedback that both titles generated. |

| Wouldn't it be great if we could actually do what Jesus would do? Yet, the simple fact of the matter is this: only Jesus can do what Jesus would do. He cannot be imitated separate from imparting His life to us, and He will not be imitated unless we rely completely upon Him to express that imparted life through us. In Romans 5:12 through Romans 8:39 Paul explains the wonderful truth of the exchanged life. Our focus is misplaced when we try to be like Jesus for no matter how hard we try we will never be able to live our lives like Jesus. It is an exercise in futility that causes constant frustration and always winds up with the same result-failure. By way of contrast, Jesus has no problem living His life, and He has offered to live His life through us, but we will never afford Him the chance so long as we insist on trying to live it on our own. If only Jesus can do what Jesus would do, I must trust Jesus to express Himself through me. The bottom line is that Jesus will never become the expression of His life through me if I continue to rely on my impression of His life. |
