125 Years of Indiana Pharmacy: A History of Indiana's Pharmacist Association

David Zahl

David Zahl's popular and enlightening exploration of our unintended replacement religions--career, parenting, technology, food, politics, and romance--is new in paperback, now updated and expanded with a chapter on celebrity. 
In our striving, we are chasing a sense of enoughness. But it remains ever out of reach, and the effort and anxiety are burning us out. Seculosity takes a thoughtful yet entertaining tour of American "performancism" and its cousins, highlighting both their ingenuity and mercilessness, all while challenging the conventional narrative of religious decline. Zahl unmasks the competing pieties around which so much of our lives revolve, and he does so in a way that's at points playful, personal, and incisive. Ultimately he brings us to a fresh appreciation for the grace of God in all its countercultural wonder. 
New edition includes a bound-in small group discussion guide perfect book clubs, church groups, and more.

Many of us spend our days feeling like we're the only one with problems, while everyone else has their act together. But the sooner we realize that everyone struggles like we do, the sooner we can show grace to ourselves and others.In Low Anthropology, popular author and pastor David Zahl explores how our ideas about human nature influence our expectations in friendship, work, marriage, and politics. We all go through life with an "anthropology"--ideas about what human beings are like, our potentials and our limitations. A high anthropology can breed perfectionism, anxiety, burnout, loneliness, and resentment. Meanwhile, Zahl invites readers into a biblically rooted and life-giving low anthropology, which fosters hope, deep connection with others, lasting love, vulnerability, compassion, and happiness. Zahl offers a liberating view of human nature, sin, and grace, showing why the good news of Christianity is both urgent and appealing. By embracing a more accurate view of human beings, readers will discover a lasting hope for others--and themselves.

"A lighthearted yet high-minded exploration of failure's ability to serve as a gateway to grace. Readers will find this a balm."--Publishers Weekly\nMany of us spend our days feeling like we're the only one with problems, while everyone else has their act together.

A high anthropology--thinking optimistically about human nature--can breed perfectionism, anxiety, burnout, loneliness, and resentment.

Daily Grace: The Mockingbird Devotional, Vol. 2

We all yearn for grace. But what purports to be good news often feels like judgment, expectation, or demand. Through personal experience, humor, and bucketloads of compassion, Daily Grace reveals the gospel for what it is: endless love and relief rising through the weeds of ordinary life. Composed by over sixty different contributors, these brief scriptural devotions offer comfort and wisdom while pointing toward Jesus Christ, the cross, and the resurrection. Whether you read this book daily, or once in a blue moon during a personal breakdown (it happens to all of us ), this grace is for you.
