Mission In The 21st Century
$28.00
A provocative, international collection of essays that challenges current thinking on mission and the world Christian movement.
Aimed at practitioners, church leaders, academics, and students of mission and world Christianity, Mission in the Twenty-First Century offers insights on the theology and practice of mission in our age. It brings together authors from around the world and a variety of social locations to offer both practical and scholarly reflection on practice, case studies and stories, and pressing contemporary questions. Addressing the “five marks of mission” identified by the Anglican communion – evangelism and proclamation; discipleship; social service; social transformation; and ecological concern – chapters examine these touchstones of authenticity in the context of such intercultural processes as globalization, migration, Islam, “old Christendom,” peacebuilding, and reconciliation. Contributors include Desmond Tutu, Jehu Hanciles, Anne Marie Kool, David Zac Nirigiye,Tony Gittins, Lamin Sanneh, Ashish Crispal, Melba Maggay, Hami Tutu Chapman, Gerald Pilay, Kwame Bediako, and Moonjang Lee.

Simply Jesus : A New Vision Of Who He Was What He Did And Why He Matters
$15.99In Simply Jesus, bestselling author and leading Bible scholar N.T. Wright summarizes 200 years of modern Biblical scholarship and models how Christians can best retell the story of Jesus today. In a style similar to C.S. Lewis’s popular works, Wright breaks down the barriers that prevent Christians from fully engaging with the story of Jesus. For believers confronting the challenge of connecting with their faith today, and for readers of Timothy Keller’s The Reason for God, Wright’s Simply Jesus offers a provocative new picture of how to understand who Jesus was and how Christians should relate to him today.

Prayer
$18.00Renowned pastor and New York Times bestselling author of The Songs of Jesus Timothy Keller explores the power of prayer.
Christians are taught in their churches and schools that prayer is the most powerful way to experience God. But few receive instruction or guidance in how to make prayer genuinely meaningful. In Prayer, renowned pastor Timothy Keller delves into the many facets of this everyday act.
With his trademark insights and energy, Keller offers biblical guidance as well as specific prayers for certain situations, such as dealing with grief, loss, love, and forgiveness. He discusses ways to make prayers more personal and powerful, and how to establish a practice of prayer that works for each reader.
Dr. Keller’s previous books have sold more than one million copies. His Redeemer Presbyterian Church is not only a major presence in his home base of New York, it has also helped to launch more than two hundred fifty other churches in forty-eight cities around the world. His teachings have already helped millions, the majority of whom pray regularly. And with Prayer, he’ll show them how to find a deeper connection with God.
