How am I supposed to control my anger when everyone at Sunset High School seems like they're out to get me? They'll embarrass me about anything.

Through the ages, mankind has longed to understand and explain our origin. The Bible tells us we were created in the image and likeness of God and that God formed our body from the dust of the ground. But exactly how were we made? What was our form like? How did this body differ from Jesus when he took on human flesh? How do we rightly address the relationship between Creation and incarnation, crucifixion, resurrection, and re-creation? In Made for Glory, award-winning author Joshua A. McClure combines testimony and biblical inquiry to unlock mysteries that have great implications for our lives today. His flair for graphic, powerful biblical study removes blinders and opens the way for deep reflection on past assumptions and misinformation about the purposes of God for his created beings. A must-read for anyone pursuing the truth of who you are and what it means to be made in God's glorious image. BIO Joshua McClure (BA, Biblical Studies, Barrington College; Certificate of Advanced Theological Studies, Andover Newton Theological School) served for nearly three decades as the senior pastor of The Pleasant Street Baptist Church in Westerly, Rhode Island, and is a multi-published author. Joshua lives in Bradford, Rhode Island with his wife, Ida. "In this book you will walk the bridge that brings the great claims of faith together with truths of science. . . . A gift to the faith community that people will be talking about for years to come." -Rev. Dr. Clayton A. (Cal) Lord, Jr., pastor of Central Baptist Church of Westerly, RI "Joshua McClure is one of the most brilliant minds I know. . . . Readers will begin to ask themselves questions that never before formed in their own thinking." -Rev. Dr. Vincent F. Thompson, Jr., pastor of Community Baptist Church, Newport, RI "A journey that enables one to discover more intimately the God who through self-revelation . . . invites us to experience him and the infinite blessings and possibilities designed for us." -Rev.

Heart's Cry: A Daily Journey with Jesus

Wiltshire, Cherise

A great political divide exists today, but can we truly grasp the significance of that divide?
It is very complex and carries such deep implications that explaining the nature of the divide is not possible without reaching far back into history to trace its development. An informed context provides needed clarity.
Kingdom of God or Pagan Empire demonstrates that the Christian position is the only one that can squarely address the phenomena of the whole human experience without violating the principle of non-contradiction. More importantly, Christianity continues to be the sole hope for individual and cultural redemption.
In order to truly appreciate--or even begin to understand--something as complex as Christianity, one must first be acquainted with the backdrop against which it emerged. In this pertinent and timely work by Julien Stanford, the reader will be acquainted with this nuanced, contextual understanding among other tools to guide them in engaging with the current cultural divide.
