Additional Info
A magisterial study of Christian mercy within the gritty realities of the American prison system…- Rev. Marjorie Holm, Chaplain Service of the Churches of Virginia
An inmate for life, Jens Soering tells stories of prison life that are shocking and inspiring. He confronts us with Jesus’ challenge to love not only the least amongst us but those who are perceived as the worst amongst us.
Anyone interested in what goes on behind the walls of our nation’s prisons and in seeing the face of Christ in everyone will value this authentic, harrowing, and visionary search for redemption.
Jens Soering confronts the everyday realities of prison life with mercy, compassion, and forgiveness. I recommend The Convict Christ to those willing to become more deeply sensitized to the failures and injustices in our jails and prisons today. It is fascinating and enriching!- Walter F. Sullivan, Bishop Emeritus of Richmond

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.

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.
