Gender Roles in the Church-
A matter of what woman may do? or What God has called MEN to do?
In his already-widely-read book, LaGard Smith suggests that our current controversy has been wrongly focused on questions about what women may do in times of gathered worship. The real issue, he says, is whether we believe in the pervasive biblical principle of male spiritual leadership.
First introduced as Men of Strength for Women of God, and later published under the title, What Most Women Want, this latest imprint is designed as a Special Study Edition. For the first time, this edition includes Discussion Questions suitable for both men’s and women’s classes. There is also a Revised Introduction which brings the dialogue up to date for a church struggling with renewed calls for recognizing women’s unique spiritual gifts.
Since the book was first released almost a decade ago, the mostly dormant issue of gender roles has now found its way back to the top of the agenda for a changing church. One congregation after another is now opting for greater participation of women in ways once considered unthinkable. Yet, little attention has been paid as to why there was ever and Biblical restriction on how women participated in the assembly. Smith argues that the principle of male spiritual leadership has far more implications for the church, the family, and society at large than we may have previously appreciated.

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.
