Show them Jesus: Teaching the Gospel to Kids; Teaching the Gospel to Kids
Millions of Christian church kids are growing up and deciding to leave the church. They listened attentively in Sunday school, made friends, and seemed committed. But one day, they quit. What happened? The Bible says we love God because he first loved us. So if we are not primarily teaching our kids about God’s love for us in Jesus Christ, we may miss our opportunity to capture their hearts. But what does it look like to teach a gospel-centered lesson?
The Dangers of the Health and Wealth Gospel
‘Doctor’ David Mende not only rightly diagnoses but also treats the disease of the Health and Wealth Gospel from his personal experience and thoroughly biblical and field research. In doing so he also cautions its hyper critics of ‘throwing the baby with the bathwater’. His antidote to ‘another gospel’ is the true Gospel, which he posits with clarity. A very balanced, unbiased therapy of an otherwise polarized subject this is – a tome to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the Body of Christ – a must-read for every Christian!

The Priest Is Not His Own
Sheen delves deeply into what he considers the main character of the priesthood, and one not often discussed, that of being, like Christ, a “holy victim”.

The Unique Christ – Dialogue in Missions
“In this post-modern age, when absolutes are found unacceptable and all truth claims are relative at the most, it is refreshing to read this work on E. Stanley Jones and his conviction regarding the uniqueness of Christ. Jones’ Round Table approach to the proponents of other faiths – appreciation with appraisal- is especially illuminating and instructive. Philip draws out at length some of the implications of this approach for the ongoing debate on and practice of inter-faith dialogue.”

Transforming Mission: Paradigm Shifts in Theology of Mission (Hardcover)
Seldom does one come across a truly magisterial book. Transforming Mission, through, is such a one. Bosch examines the entire sweep of Christian tradition to show historically how five paradigms have encapsulated the Christian understanding of how God saves and what human beings should do in response. With the considerable talents that make him the foremost theologian of Christian vocation and mission today, Bosch then outlines the key characteristics of an emerging “postmodern” paradigm dialectically linking salvation’s transcendent and immanent dimension.
