Our mission is more than saving souls. Our goal is more than getting to go to heaven.
We are made to embrace creation.
Human beings have been given an important role in the vast, created order of God.
Embracing Creation will remind you about that role, but it will also challenge you to consider more deeply God's forgotten mission. Since God has always loved everything he has made, He desires that we wisely nurture His creation to the praise of His glory.
Embracing Creation offers a compelling survey of the Bible, and then offers some clear illustrations of how we should live our lives in light of God's redemptive grace.

As a companion volume to COME TO THE TABLE and DOWN IN THE RIVER TO PRAY, this book completes a trilogy on the three ordinances; of the Stone-Campbell Movement. A GATHERED PEOPLE is an in-depth biblical, historical, and theological study of the Christian assembly or Lord's Day. It examines Hebrew assemblies in the Old Testament, Christian assemblies in the NT, the changing nature of assemblies in Christian history, and the assembly in the Stone-Campbell heritage. It concludes with a theological argument about the nature and purpose of the assembly, and reflections on Christian assemblies today. Alexander Campbell taught that there were three ordinances in the Christian faith ... The Lord's Supper, Baptism and the Lord's Day. This series revisions those ordinances and helps us better understand our relationship to our Father God. The other two books of this series are: Come to the Table: Revisioning the Lord's Supper by John Mark Hicks and Down in the River to Pray: Revisioning Baptism as God s Transforming Power by John Mark Hicks and Greg Taylor.

Kingdom Come: Embracing the Spiritual Legacy of David Lipscomb and James Harding

Broken trust is not the end. 
Have you ever felt like Job, watching God cure, calm, and care for others, while you remain crumpled on the floor looking for God in the darkness? 
In Surrendering to Hope, you'll find fifteen stories of heartbreak and tragedy told with unflinching honesty--brutal deaths of loved ones, chronic illness, mental and sexual abuse, divorce, as well as struggles with same sex attraction, dealing with the trauma of combat loss, and living under racial oppression. But the real story of Surrendering to Hope is that every story is God's story. Despite brokenness and suffering, God is lovingly, powerfully present in every life. He invites each of us to lean on him in trust and begin a journey towards peace.
