Flawed Perfection : What It Means To Be Human And Why It Matters For Cultur
$15.99
The world today presents us with a plethora of issues and challenges: everything from human trafficking to genocide, questions of genetic engineering and biotechnology to the responsibility of our governments. These global issues are not abstract problems, but have a real, felt impact on the lives of individuals around the world.
But even in the face of tough questions and blatant sin, the Bible says we’re created in the image of God, sinless. We’ve fallen. So how should Christians approach these challenges?
According to Jeffrey A. Brauch, we need to start with an informed grasp of human nature. It’s only by understanding our nature correctly that we can treat fallen humanity in light of our profound value as God’s creations and our equal human rights regardless of our differences.
Flawed Perfection will help Christians from across the political and cultural spectrum think carefully about and actively respond to these issues with both gravity and hope.

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.
