How Do We Talk about Abortion?
In recent years, the repeal of Roe vs Wade in the United States and a number of high-profile cases in the UK have ignited intense public debates surrounding the sensitive issue of abortion. While the Pro-Life movement, often driven by religious convictions from Roman Catholic and conservative perspectives, has made its stance clear, other Christian arguments in favour of abortion have been notably less pronounced, frequently emphasizing exceptional circumstances. Emma Percy steps into this important conversation, offering a thought-provoking pastoral theology that takes a deeply empathetic approach to pregnancy and motherhood. In How Do We Talk About Abortion? she delves into the complex motivations behind women's decisions to terminate pregnancies, treating this topic with the gravity it deserves. Percy considers abortion as a pastoral concern, recognizing how abortion decisions are shaped by circumstances and often not discussed, and how inherited Christian attitudes to women, sex and contraception can encourage silencing. How Do We Talk About Abortion? situates abortion within the wider realities of infertility and reproductive loss, considers the question of prenatal testing in dialogue with disability theology, and explores God's providence in the unfairness of human procreation. The final chapter turns to pastoral practice, the language of sin and the possibility of appropriate rituals. Carefully navigating the intricate intersection of faith, ethics, and reproductive choice, this new volume invites readers to reconsider preconceived notions and engage in a compassionate dialogue surrounding abortion and pregnancy loss from a Christian perspective that will move the discussion forward.
Embrace the Power of Your Scars
Every hurt we suffer has the potential to be healed and then to bring healing. When we are wounded, our vulnerable areas are usually easily identified by determining the location of our pain. Under most circumstances, wounds hurt and the pain can range anywhere from somewhat uncomfortable to totally unbearable. The blessing of the healing process is the transformation that occurs when our wounds transition into scars. We suddenly realize that the pain has receded and ultimately vanished, and we are left with only a visible reminder that we were hurt: We have a SCAR.Our scars are testaments of survived hurts that serve as reminders of what has happened to us. When healing is complete, seeing our scars is not painful; seeing our scars is powerful! When healing is complete, we can celebrate every wound, rejoice through the healing process, joyfully proclaim that what happened to us did not destroy us and position ourselves to walk in our divine purpose. When healing is complete, we can readily identify those who are suffering from similar wounds and encourage them through the healing process as a living example of God's delivering power.Jesus was definitely wounded. His pain had to have been excruciating: He was beaten with a cat o'nine tails; He was stripped of His garments; He was ridiculed, insulted, and spit on; He was nailed in His hands and feet; He was pierced in His side; He was pricked by a crown of thorns; He was abandoned by those closest to Him. We have the gift of salvation today because He was able to say, "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do" and allow His wounds to transition into scars. It was seeing His scarred hands and side that confirmed His resurrection for Timothy. Those same scars remind us that we are redeemed and remind the enemy that he is totally defeated.Just as Jesus' scars help mankind, yours can too! Someone needs to know that you survived your hurts so they can be encouraged to endure through their healing processes and survive theirs. Someone needs to know that they can make it because they see the evidence that you made it... They see Your Scars! #EmbraceThePowerOfYourScars

A Million Little Miracles
The New York Times bestselling author of Win the Day reminds us of the millions of miracles God performs every day and inspires us to live with a clearer sense of identity and purpose.Think you've never experienced a miracle? With all due respect, you have never not. In fact, you are one! There never has been--and there never will be--anyone else like you. That isn't a testament to you. It's a testament to the God who created you. Your fingerprint, eyeprint, and voiceprint are unlike anyone else's. Simply put, you matter to God. Most of us take everyday miracles for granted, including the one that stares back at us in the mirror. It's time to take them for gratitude. Why is that so important? Because whatever you don't turn into praise turns into pride. The miracle of life becomes mundane. We get so wrapped up in our own little world, we end up worshipping a god who looks like us, acts like us, and thinks like us. It's no wonder we've lost our wonder. But there is a way to recapture holy curiosity! In A Million Little Miracles, New York Times bestselling author Mark Batterson reveals three miraculous truths that awaken us to the Creator and His creation: 1. God is bigger than we think--we can rest in His wisdom and strength2. God is closer than we realize--we never have to do life alone3. God is better than we imagine--we can reclaim childlike wonder A million little miracles are waiting to be discovered, including the miracle called you.
Enough for Today
Find Strength in the Wilderness When life feels like a wilderness-a place of uncertainty, exhaustion, and spiritual stumbling-what do you hold on to? For many of us the past few years have been clouded by plagues of illness and dying, anger and violence, disillusionment and loss. And numerous pharaohs, from the church house to the courthouse to the White House, appear to have risen up to withstand the move of God toward freedom and new life for his people. But the road to freedom is often through the wilderness, dying to what was, while we strain, through faith, to see the life we hope for just barely visible in the distance. In Enough for Today, Donna Barber offers forty reflections on how God provides in unexpected and life-sustaining ways, drawing parallels to the manna that sustained the Israelites during their own wilderness journey. This devotional is designed for those whose spirits have been wearied by deconstruction, for justice seekers still trying to hold onto hope, and for anyone in need of spiritual refreshing amid the arid challenges of our present world. These forty reflections are an invitation to acknowledge your fears while still leaning into what is true as you make your way through the wilderness. Through rich imagery, Barber invites you to rediscover the God of your first love and the places where you encountered him and to find a way forward with renewed hope and faith. What You'll Find in Enough for Today: Daily Reflections: Forty devotions to help you connect with God, even when your energy feels depleted Spiritual Insights: Different ways God meets you in wilderness seasons, often in surprising and unanticipated ways An Invitation to Rediscovery: Encouragement to hear God's call, face your fears, and rediscover your own identity Whether you're a community leader, a weary advocate, or simply a seeker in need of direction, Enough for Today will provide the daily manna you need to persevere. If you have considered walking away, don't. Face your fears, rediscover your identity, and hear God calling you toward his reimagined promises.
Unknown
Ever wished for a book that could help one navigate the tricky, challenging path to healthy relationships? Unknown is a practical road map to take relationships from mundane or lifeless to vibrant and fulfilling.Today's world offers more technological connection than any generation before. Yet loneliness, isolation, and disconnection have reached epidemic levels. Research confirms it again and again.The ability to connect is everywhere, yet mental and emotional health continues to decline. Poor or lacking relational connection increases the risk of heart disease by 29%, stroke by 32%, dementia by 50%, and premature death by 60%.In a world filled with rich coffee, stylish clothes, and gourmet meals, many still sit alone-with no one to truly share life with. Even within families, the sense of being unknown or unseen can quietly persist.And that cuts against what makes life worth living. As Bren矇eacute; Brown put it, "Connection is why we're here. We are hardwired to connect with others--it's what gives purpose and meaning to our lives, and without it there is suffering."Want authentic relationships that stand the test of time? Unknown offers hope and real help. With insights born from personal experience and a path walked from disconnection to deep connection, Leadership coach and pastor Keith Spurgin provides the tools needed to build the kind of genuine relationships that every heart longs for.
An Essay on Demonology, Ghosts and Apparitions, and Popular Superstitions
Feeling the need to deal with the rise of belief in demons and witchcraft, this book was written to academically deal with the growing concerns. This work talks frankly about the belief in ghost and apparitions as well as bringing up the dreadful talk of witchcraft and the Salem witch trials that to this day, still haunt the New England states as an overreaction to something that was not an overt problem.
Satan
In this work celebrated theologian and pastor Lewis Sperry Chafer takes on the tough questions about the ever mysterious and elusive enemy of God, Satan. Going through the Bible and analyzing each reference to either Satan, Lucifer, the Devil or his works, Chafer shows us that the Devil is someone we should watch out for as a predator always on the prowl.Please note that this is an 8 pt font size version of this book.
Elizabethan Demonology
This volume shows the commonly held beliefs about demons during and just after the Reformation period started by Martin Luther. These beliefs are mainly shown through the use of fiction present at the time especially through the plays of the master of theatre himself, William Shakespeare. The author relies heavily on these examples, but it is effective since so many people held ideas about demons that were not particularly sanctioned by the church.
The Devil in Britain and America
Within this work lays a case-by-case account of the works of the Devil and witchcraft in both Britain and America. The author feels that a comprehensive study has not been done and writes what actually happened in certain cases and gives testimony to the horrors of both truth and lies when it comes to the Devil and witchcraft.Please note that this is an 8 pt. font size version of this book.
La Sorci癡re
A book written in the early 1800's, La Sorci癡re gives us an insight into thinking of that time period concerning where the power of witches comes from. Although most contemporary witches will deny the presence of Satan or demons as their power source, the thinking of the Christian church would probably agree with what this text says. It is accepted that witches do not generally accept Satan as any kind of master or lord and each witch has his or her own theology that describes their beliefs. This book however seeks to quash all those pagan ideas and gives credit to where the original author thinks it is due.
Devil Stories
A collection of stories that circle around various beliefs of the enemy of God and the Christian church, the Devil. While most of us have some preconceived notions about who and what the Devil does, these stories will help to give you a fresh outlook on the topic of the Lord of Lies. Although written in a fictional way, these stories still hold some relevant points about the person of the Devil and will help you to look at the topic differently for your own study.
Light in the Valley of the Shadow of Death
Despite persistent stereotypes describing Protestants as distancing from society, believers from evangelical Protestant churches have been fighting to save Ukraine's statehood and help its suffering society since the first days of the Russian war against Ukraine.In this timely and honest work, twelve Ukrainian Christians from different spheres of life tell their stories of living and serving during this devastating time. They provide insight into how Ukrainian Christians are responding to the challenges of war and delve into what it means to be a Christian in unprecedented situations. This book tackles the struggles that the Christian faith faces during times of war and how war shapes a new spiritual experience of prayer, Bible reading, and ministry. While these stories reveal the horrors and darkness of war, they are also a testament to the light and healing that they have encountered, revealing how faith is intertwined with doubt, fear with courage, and loneliness with belonging.

Don't Let Sand Fool You
Throughout life, we get comfortable. Suddenly, you get jaw-dropping, unexpected sand grains (news). Our belief in God should be fierce enough that no matter what comes our way, it does not shake our faith. Our experiences should not change our faith in Him. When life happens, we must decide-opportunity to grow or surrender to the enemy? It's our choice to use those trials for God's glory or to waste them. You will never know how fierce you are until a simple grain of sand embedded in you is turned around by an all-powerful God transforming you into a cherished pearl.Endorsement: Ingrid has captured the very essence of Transformation.

Having survived a debilitating illness myself, I applaud and admire her strength, courage, and steadfast faith.

Demonology and Devil-Lore
An in depth look at demonology throughout western history that includes a good deal of Biblical and Middle Eastern references and mythology. Many works from ancient Babylon, Greek tragedies and the epic play Faust are used to form together a tangible history of demons in the present day. Although many conclusions can logically be found to be erroneous, the author makes a good attempt to bring together different lines of thought into one cohesive argument.
While It Was Still Dark
How does a Christian woman live? What does it mean to follow Jesus today? What can we practically do to lead a godly life? While her presence in the Bible is hardly substantial, the principles illustrated in the life of Mary Magdalene offer us insight and wisdom.

Untouched Part
What are some important lessons you learned from the 2020 lockdown? Here are some lessons I learned: - History is the greatest asset of our generation, but our most neglected gift.- We are not what we see when we stand in front of a mirror. The real person inside is much more valuable and more precious than temporary externalities. - I can and will survive without using cosmetic make-up for seven months. Who knew!- I owned too many clothes, shoes, and other accessories. I did not need most of them while working from home. - Many are the plans in a person's heart, but only The Lord's counsel will stand.- Personal branding, self-love and other self-related psychobabbles can only go so far. Covid-19 pandemic and resulting lockdown demonstrated the limits of our human capacity.- Social distancing between us and our devices, earthly possessions and worldly plans may not be such a bad idea after all.- Death is inevitable.

Burn the Boxes
"It's not the ministry that will kill you; it's the expectations and stereotypes."Being a pastor's wife is often an unseen, misunderstood, and isolating journey.

They were made to thrive. Ready to burn the boxes and step into freedom?
The Phantom World

This work simply is not just a history text of ancient religious beliefs but also explains the thinking and beliefs that surrounded the spirits and vampires in the day and age when Calmet wrote this work.

The author reveals how the Church's perceived irrelevance isn't just because of a chaotic world, but because we've unknowingly mixed the Old and New Covenants together in ways that have led us to a misconception that drains our power and clarity on God's word.It explains why Bible interest is rising yet church attendance is low, and explores a generation hungering for hope, truth and meaning behind what's being preached within our churches worldwide. The author unpacks this paradox with compassion and deep biblical insight.The way theological truths are explained is both profound and easy to understand. It challenged me to rethink how I approach God not through performance, but through the fullness of grace offered in Christ.A must-read for any Christian daring to ask, not just what the church should do - but what the church must become.-James Hodgkin, Anglican Churches Worship Leader, London UKAbout the Author: Unsaved, materialistic and working in Saudi Arabia. That was the author's situation when God stepped in. The author carried with him - purely through habit - a Bible. One day in Saudi Arabia he started reading that Bible out of a genuine desire to understand it. God spoke to him through His Word, showing him he was lost - hell-bound. He surrendered to the sovereignty of God in his life. "...life in all its fullness" began.

Now What Do You Believe?
Author: 竅+ Gregory Wille Description: In the time of Christ, the doctrine of His Church was pure and simple. But almost from the moment, Christ's teachings left his mouth, they began to be changed. Whether to serve the purposes of corrupt leaders or simply through misunderstandings and repetition, the present-day teachings of much of Christianity have strayed far from the plain and precious truths that formed the cornerstone of Christ's original Church. In Now What Do You Believe? Greg Wille takes a hard look at some of the most controversial tenants of Christianity today. In his exploration of the basis for original sin, infant baptism, and the doctrines of exclusionism, inclusionism, and moral relativity, we find a common thread: the true doctrine of Christ was based on God's love for His children and the fairness of Christ's plan for our mortal lives. Both of these keys are missing from the teachings of much of the world today. Part scholarly analysis and part personal testimony, Now What Do You Believe? clarifies misunderstood LDS teachings about the erroneous Christian teachings in the world today. 竅+ Product Details: Format: Paperback Print: Black & White Size: 6x9 Page Count: 110 ISBN: 9780882908403 Imprint: CFI Books Office Use: 1Q234

God's Love
Is He serious? How is this even possible? What should this look like in our lives? Fortunately, God has a plan for out lives that makes it possible to fully receive and enjoy His love, and offer this same love to others ... but some assembly is required. Humans do seemingly impossible things in operating rooms, athletics, art, and other realms, but doing such things requires considerable training. We cannot just show up, do what we feel like doing, and expect exceptional results. Nor, in a relationship with God, can we do things our way and expect His most profound blessings. God has a plan that is designed to radically transfom the life of every Christian, so that our life resembles Hos and our love resembles HIs. The first of three workbooks for The New Covenant shows us the endpoint God desires to each life and outlines His plan to transform our lives. Before we will do what is necessary, though, we must want the life God offers us. Here we carefully consider the life that can become our life if we follow His plan.

Fighting for Your Family
In all discord in our homes, the ultimate enemy is not your spouse, your children, their biological parents, their former foster parents, DSS, the school district, or anyone else. Satan is the ultimate enemy. He has the destruction of God's people as one of his ultimate goals, and the family, as the primary unit of God's good design for his children, is Satan's number one target. Your home is a battleground for spiritual warfare. For many Christians, spiritual warfare is more of a fairy tale drawn in comic book style on large boards, the scenes depicted in the local "hell house," or the stuff that missionaries to the Congo experience. But spiritual warfare is a reality in your family and mine. The purpose of this book is to equip you to engage in spiritual warfare for and with your family. To do so, you must first understand a little bit about spiritual warfare. Spiritual warfare is a reality, and just as it impacts your personal life and your local church, it profoundly affects your family. This book equips you to take action-because losing is not an option. Fighting For Your Family is written from a biblical perspective by a pastor who is also a husband and a father, actively engaged in the same battles as his readers. With authentic stories, clear biblical perspective, and a touch of humor, this book provides adaptable strategies for individuals and couples. The book's structure enables brief, focused reading and discussion, and the practical applications provide valuable wisdom and suggestions for incorporating rhythms and routines into everyday family life.
