Half Empty : An Interpretive Guide To Ecclesiastes
$13.99
Widely regarded as pessimistic in tone, the book of Ecclesiastes presents unique difficulties for preaching and teaching. Ecclesiastes seems to declare that no matter what a person does, in the end life is as fleeting and meaningless as vapor. What edifying value could this book have for parishioners and students? Wendell Bowes, in Half Empty, expertly answers this question. In this interpretive guide,
Dr. Bowes demonstrates how effectively the message of Ecclesiastes complements the optimism of wisdom books such as Proverbs by questioning that optimism and underlining what is most important in life.
Like its companion volume, Half Full, on Proverbs, Half Empty includes sermon starters, presentation ideas, sermon title suggestions, and a substantial reference list.

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.
