The Last Things (Contours of Christian Theology)

This e-book was chosen by our readers to be placed on sale.

Author(s): David Höhne
Publisher: Intervarsity Press
Price: $2.99 (Oct 19-20)

There is no shortage of books on eschatology – the study of ‘the last things’ and ‘the end times’. Many arise out of incoherent or superficial readings of the Bible that detract from the ‘once and for all’ achievements of God through the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus. Others fail to consider the manner in which God reveals himself through the Lord Jesus and by the power of his Spirit. Too many fail to distinguish sufficiently between the genuine hope provided by the gospel and the superficial aspirations of culture.

David Höhne offers a trinitarian theological description of eschatology that is at once systematic, generated from the theological interpretation of Scripture, and yet sensitive to essential elements for Christian practice. His reading of the Bible is shaped by the gospel, informed by the history of Christian thought, and dedicated to serving the church in a world that is frustrated by sin, death and evil, yet longing for the return of our Lord and Messiah.

Spiritual Conversations with Children: Listening to God Together

Author(s): Lacy Finn Borgo
Publisher: Intervarsity Press
Price: $3.99

We are born into this world with a natural longing to connect to God and other human beings. When children have a listening companion who hears, acknowledges, and encourages their early experiences with God, it creates a spiritual footprint that shapes their lives. How can we increase our capacity to engage children in spiritual conversations?
In this book Lacy Finn Borgo draws on her own experience of practicing spiritual direction with children. She offers an overview of childhood spiritual formation and introduces key skills for engaging conversation―posture, power, and patterns―from a Christ-centered perspective.
“When we are fully present and open to another, we will be changed,” Borgo writes. “Indeed, as you listen to God with a child, the child will lead you into a fuller experience of God’s love and acceptance.”
In this book you’ll find:
Sample interactive dialogues with children
Ideas for engaging children with play, art, and movement
Prayers to use together

Whether you are a parent or grandparent, pastor or spiritual director, you will find this to be a friendly guide into deeper ways of listening.

Living in Bonus Time: Surviving Cancer, Finding New Purpose

Author(s): Alec Hill
Publisher: Intervarsity Press
Price: $3.99

Cancer confronts us with our mortality. But cancer survivors find ourselves with a second chance for life. We grapple with profound questions: Why am I still here? How did I survive when others didn’t? Where is God in all this? And how should I live differently now?
Those who experience and survive cancer live in bonus time, a season of grace that can be both disorienting and wonderful. In this honest and hopeful account, two-time survivor Alec Hill helps readers recalibrate expectations, grapple with survivor’s guilt, and steward the opportunities for new purpose and growth. As counterintuitive as it may seem, cancer can transform us emotionally and spiritually into better people.
We are not the people we were before. Survivors and caregivers can discover how encountering death can bring us to a different kind of life.
