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.

Because it’s in those moments, when you’re not where you expected to be, that you have a chance to pause and consider what matters most to you as well as redefine what success looks like for you in a world that’s constantly telling you what you should want or should do.

Practicing The Way
$26.00The author of the international bestseller The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry calls us to rediscover the path that leads to a deeper life with God.
We are constantly being formed by the world around us. To be formed by Jesus will require us to become his apprentice.
To live by what the first Christian disciples called a Rule of Life–a set of practices and relational rhythms that slow us down and open up space in our daily lives for God to do what only God can do–transforms the deepest parts of us to become like him.
This introduction to spiritual formation is full of John Mark Comer’s trademark mix of theological substance and cultural insight as well as practical wisdom on developing your own Rule of Life.
These ancient practices have much to offer us. By learning to rearrange our days, we can follow the Way of Jesus. We can be with him. Become like him. And do as he did.
