SPONSORED LISTING

Author(s): David Falcon
Price: $6.99      

Joe the Carpenter is about a blue-collar, middle-aged working man who is not very religious. Joe is a widower going through a mid-life crisis and spends his days sulking in a bar until he meets a long-lost childhood friend who sets Joe up with a teenager half his age. When Mary, the girl, mentions she is pregnant with another man’s child. Joe attempts to back out of the marriage until his friend threatens to report Joe to the authorities for a crime he did not commit. The couple weds, and Mary gives birth to a son called Jesus. The child is brought up like any other boy and eventually becomes a man whose only intention is to do good and preach the word of God. Then, one day, Jesus loses his temper (a trait inherited from his mother) and gets in trouble with the authorities. Jesus is arrested and sentenced to death by crucifixion. Joe’s only hope to save Jesus is to trust a plan devised by the childhood friend who arranged the marriage in the first place. For those who may have difficulty accepting some of the written Christian dogma, Joe the Carpenter brings a pragmatic view of the most incredible story ever told.

When their tragic past begins to resurface, can he help her remember the things she can’t?

After her mother’s death twelve years ago, Lynette Carlisle watched her close-knit family unravel. One by one, her four older siblings left their Nantucket home and never returned. All seem to blame their father for their mother’s death, but nobody will talk about that tragic day. And Lynette’s memory only speaks through nightmares.

Then Nicholas Cooper returns to Nantucket, bringing the past with him. Once Lynette’s adolescent crush, Nick knows more about her mother’s death than he lets on. The truth could tear apart his own family—and destroy his fragile friendship with Lynette, the woman he no longer thinks of as a kid sister.

As their father’s failing health and financial concerns bring the Carlisle siblings home, secrets surface that will either restore their shattered relationships or separate the siblings forever. But pulling up anchor on the past propels them into the perfect storm, powerful enough to make them question their faith, their willingness to forgive, and the very truth of all the things they thought they knew.

Revelation for the Rest of Us: A Prophetic Call to Follow Jesus as a Dissident Disciple
Author(s): Scot McKnight and Cody Matchett
Publisher: Zondervan
Price: $4.99       (Ends Sept 30)

See how the Book of Revelation can be read as a book of discipleship, challenging Christ-followers everywhere to live as hopeful agents of resistance and transformation.

The last book of the Bible frustrates and frightens many people with its imagery and apocalyptic tone. Popular interpretations rely on fear and politicization and often lead to pride and alienation of others. Is this really how we were intended to read John’s Revelation?

In Revelation for the Rest of Us, Scot McKnight with Cody Matchett explore the key message of Revelation and how it:

Calls us to be faithful and hopeful witnesses to Jesus.
Stimulates our imagination to see the world through the eyes of God and excite our faith.
Challenges us to stand against the militarism, economic exploitation, oppression, and injustice of worldly authorities.
McKnight addresses the popular misconceptions about the book, explaining what John means in his use of the images of dragons, lambs, and beasts; and how the symbolism of Revelation spoke in the days of Rome and still speaks powerfully to the present day—though not in the way most people think.

You’ll learn to see the Book of Revelation in a fresh and hopeful new way. Drawing from the latest scholarship, the authors present an understanding of Revelation for anyone interested in deepening their personal study of the Bible and strengthening their faith as dissident disciples who can discern the presence of “Babylon” in our world and learn to speak up, speak out, and walk in the way of the Lamb.

Our Hearts Were Strangely Lukewarm

Author(s): John Elford
Publisher: Wipf and Stock
Price: $4.99      

Our Hearts Were Strangely Lukewarm summons the reader on a most unusual journey through Methodist history. Along the way, we discover how the White American Methodist Church became deeply entangled with White supremacy. From the founding of the church in the late eighteenth century to the present, we have too often been silent bystanders or active accomplices in the enormous harm caused by racism. It’s a complicated and shameful story few Methodists know. And yet, if we want to transform the world toward a different and better future for all, one free of the stranglehold of racism, we must come to terms with the story of our past–the whole story! Our Hearts Were Strangely Lukewarm is a trustworthy guide into the church’s troubled history. It’s also a present-day call to action that finds inspiration in those Methodists who stood against the tide and those guiding the church today toward the horizon of racial justice.
