Consider Your Calling: Six Questions for Discerning Your Vocation

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

Author(s): Gordon T. Smith
Publisher: Intervarsity Press
Price: $2.99 (April 20-21)

What on earth is God doing?
Who are you?
What is your stage of life?
What are your life circumstances?
What is the cross you will have to bear?
What are you afraid of?
We ask these six critical questions―and then we ask them again―at points of transition in our lives. They all lead us to the one core question: What is the good work to which I am called?
Gordon T. Smith, the author of Courage and Calling, writes: “It is a good question because our work matters to us, to others and, of course, it matters to God. Work itself is good. It is vital to our human identity, and we are most ourselves, most who God calls us to be, living in what it means to know the salvation of God when we know the grace of work well done.”
However, Smith acknowledges that this is not a simple question to answer in the midst of our very complicated lives. That’s why he has written this brief and accessible book―to offer the support and insight we need as we ponder these six core questions in community with God and others.
As a steward of your life, in attentiveness to the calling of God, how is God inviting you to engage the world?

The Art of Pastoring: Ministry Without All the Answers

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

Author(s): David Hansen
Publisher: Intervarsity Press
Price: $2.99 (April 17-18)

Named one of the Top Ten Books of 1994 by the Academy of Parish Clergy

Hundreds of books, tapes, workshops, and seminars promise to answer these impossible questions. Some offer a set of practical guidelines; others suggest a system or pattern follow. Some stress various ministry functions; others feature case studies as models of success or failure. Some are helpful. Others are not. But in The Art of Pastoring, David Hansen turns pastoral self-help programs on their heads. He tackles the perennial questions from within his own experience.

From the Inside Out

Hansen’s fresh, bold narrative grows from nearly a decade of ministry. He draws you into his life and into the lives of Florence-Victor Parish in the mountains of Montana, including unforgettable encounters with unforgettable people–a stubborn pioneer woman who still chops her own firewood though she’s blind and 90 years old, a championship rodeo cowboy who was baptized in his boots, and many more.

How to Read Genesis (How to Read Series)

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

Author(s): Tremper Longman III
Publisher: Intervarsity Press
Price: $2.99 (April 13-14)

Honored in 2006 as a “Year’s Best Book for Preachers” by Preaching magazine.

Creation in six days

Woman from the side of man

“Sons of god” taking “daughters of men”

A massive disaster and an animal rescue boat of biblical proportions

Abraham, Sarah, Hagar and the ongoing saga of a dysfunctional family

These are just a few of the episodes that Genesis conjures up. But we miss the point if we focus on what seems strange to us. And we distort the message if we demand that this book answer questions that are strange to it. To read Genesis intelligently, we must consider the questions, the literature and the times in which Genesis was written.

In How to Read Genesis Tremper Longman III provides a welcome guide to reading and studying, understanding and savoring this panorama of beginnings–of both the world and of Israel. And importantly for Christian readers, we gain insight into how Genesis points to Christ and can be read in light of the gospel.
