Introduction To Christian Ethics
$35.00
All Christians read the Bible differently, pray differently, value their traditions differently, and give different weight to individual and corporate judgment. These differences are the basis of conflict. The question Christian ethics must answer, then, is, “What does the good life look like in the context of conflict?”
In this new introductory text, Ellen Ott Marshall uses the inevitable reality of difference to center and organize her exploration of the system of Christian morality.
What can we learn from Jesus’ creative use of conflict in situations that were especially attuned to questions of power?
What does the image of God look like when we are trying to recognize the divine image within those with whom we are in conflict?
How can we better explore and understand the complicated work of reconciliation and justice?
This innovative approach to Christian ethics will benefit a new generation of students who wish to engage the perennial questions of what constitutes a faithful Christian life and a just society.

Living With Gods Courage
$9.99After many years of writing her own words in her prayer journal, missionary Sarah Young decided to be more attentive to the Savior’s voice and begin listening for what He was saying. So with pen in hand, she embarked on a journey that forever changed her-and many others around the world. In the powerful pages of Jesus Calling, Sarah recounts the words and Scriptures Jesus lovingly laid on her heart-words of reassurance, comfort, and hope that have made her increasingly aware of His presence and allowed her to enjoy His peace.
In the Jesus Calling Bible Study series, participants will be guided through eight sessions of study on key principles and topics presented in Sarah’s bestselling book. Readers will study Scripture passages each day to progressively learn (1) what it means to be thankful to God in every situation; (2) how to live boldly for God in a way that inspires others to follow Christ; (3) how to give the control to Christ and put Him first in everything they do; and (4) what it means to trust completely in God and dwell in His peace.
Each eight-session study includes readings from Jesus Calling, selected Scripture and Bible Study questions, and daily reflection questions, and is designed for use in personal, small-group, or classroom settings.
