This Is Our Calling
$18.99
How can I hear God’s voice?, What plans does God have for me?, How can I do his will if I don’t know what it is? These are questions that have plagued Christian for centuries and continue to haunt Christians as they plan their futures and try and discover their vocations. This Is Our Calling aims to help searching Christians to trust God that his plan for them will become clear in time but also help them to discover a little more of what that plan may be. The authors, almost all of whom write from their experience as parish priests, discuss the great themes of Christian doctrines and the narrative patterns of the Bible to show how God might be calling each and every one of us today. They have written for anyone who are exploring a sense of calling and are looking at their futures in terms of vocation and discipleship. Each chapter has a particular vocational theme, such as evangelism and discipleship, and provides various avenues to explore and questions to discuss.

Surprised By Hope
$15.99For years Christians have been asking, “If you died tonight, do you know where you would go?” It turns out Christians have been giving the wrong answer. It is not heaven.
One of today’s premier Bible scholars and award-winning author N.T. Wright outlines the present confusion about a Christian’s future hope and shows how it is deeply intertwined with how we live today. Wright shows that Christianity’s most distinctive idea is bodily resurrection. First, he provides a magisterial defense of a literal resurrection of Jesus himself. This became the cornerstone for the Christian community’s hope in the bodily resurrection of all people at the end of the age. Next Wright explores our expectation of “new heavens and new earth,” showing what happens to the dead until then and what will happen with the “second coming” of Jesus. For many, including many Christians, all this will come as a great surprise.
Wright convincingly argues that what we believe about life after death directly affects what we believe about life before death. For if God intends to renew the whole creation – and if this has already begun in Jesus’s resurrection – the church cannot stop at “saving souls” but must anticipate the eventual renewal by working for God’s kingdom in the wider world, bringing healing and hope in the present life.
Lively and accessible, this book will surprise and excite all who are interested in the meaning of life, not only after death but, before it.
