With pain in his eyes, torn between fatherly love and personal conviction, Mark asked me how to respond when his only daughter, who had told her family she was a lesbian, called to share she had met the love of her life, and asked him to walk her down the aisle. Rather than arguing for only one answer, this short book gives you a way to develop your personal response in your unique situation. Using the WISDOM Process(c), this study offers you a wise way to think through the issue, considering multiple factors, informed by relevant biblical texts and articles from varying points of view. Christians disagree on whether or not to attend a same-sex wedding. We dive into the controversy, and discover more options than simply to go or not to go.

Your Life in Rhythm offers a realistic solution to our crazy, overly busy, stressed lives. Miller exposes the myth of living a “balanced” life, and offers “rhythmic living” as a new paradigm for relieving guilt and stress, while accomplishing more of what matters most in life. Rhythmic living details six practical strategies for living a more fulfilling life. Instead of managing time, Miller suggests that we flow with life, living in tune with the natural rhythms of nature. By applying the rhythm strategies, we can reduce stress, frustration, and guilt while increasing fulfillment and inner peace. The point is not to balance all of our responsibilities at one time, but to focus attention on what matters most at different times. Although this sounds easy enough, the six strategies he outlines are crucial to helping the reader to achieve this goal. Miller helps us to understand the stages and seasons of life we all experience over a lifetime. This new understanding, when applied, will solve time-management problems and help readers to let go of misplaced priorities and relieve their overbooked lifestyle. The rhythm solution, in short, brings freedom. In a nutshell: - Helps readers think through their overbooked lifestyle. - Presents a new way of thinking about life management. - Helps readers to let go of misplaced priorities. - Helps readers understand the seasons of life and adjust their expectations. - Presents rhythm “solution process” for common time management issues.

Your Life in Rhythm: Less stress, more Peace, Less frustration, more Fulfillment, Less discouragement, more Hope

Jesus shocked and offended his original audience because he turned most people's view of life upside down. Many of us are familiar with famous lines in history's most influential speech, such as: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you," "Turn the other cheek," "Go the extra mile," and "Don't Judge." However, this very familiarity dulls our minds to what Jesus is really saying. Follow Jesus' kingdom vision and you will stand out as a bright light in this dark world, stand up when storms come, and step up to receive God's eternal reward. Jesus calls us to be all-in, holding nothing back. You will never be the same! This book also offers a unique study guide based on the WISDOM Process for your own study, and for small groups who want to read the book together to explore Jesus' longest address.

Giving: The Three Questions: Why give? To whom? How much?

In this crazy world it can seem like God is far off or indifferent. His failure to act makes no sense. Why do some people prosper and other people suffer? By unpacking each chapter of Habakkuk, Miller helps us see that when life is shaking you like a leaf in a storm, you can hold on to the unshakeable God who controls the storm. Listen in on a perplexed prophet’s intense interchange with God himself. In the face of injustice and violence, Habakkuk cries out, “WHY?” Journey with the prophet • from confusion to confidence • from frustration-driven questions to faith-filled declarations • from interrogating God to praising God • from anguish to adoration Miller writes as a pastor-theologian, relying on world-class scholarship, which he presents in a way the average person can grasp and yet be challenged to learn and grow in Christ. He uses The WISDOM Process©, a six-step innovative learning approach that helps a group engage the Word of God in a transforming way. Your group will never be the same.
