For most Christians, the thought of being involved in evangelism is intimidating. They feel apprehensive, perhaps, because they feel unprepared. On the other hand, when Christians are prepared, they feel confident that they can personally share the good news with others. Evangelism: A Biblical Approach will thoroughly prepare you because it covers every passage on evangelism and all the topics pertaining to evangelism in the New Testament. It begins by delving into the biblical foundations of evangelism--starting from the basic questions of "What is Evangelism?" and "Why Evangelize?" It covers such topics as "Praying People into Heaven," "On Being Wise, Like a Snake," and "What Made Paul So Bold?" It concludes by discussing the practical how-tos, including approaching different people on their level. It enables you to make evangelism personal. This revised edition has an additional chapter on Lordship Salvation. Evangelism: A Biblical Approach will equip you and give you the confidence to explain the gospel.

Imagine being in a peaceful, beautiful, tranquil setting away from the buzz of life. At the end of a gravel path lined by flowers and stretches of flowing greenery, there is a lovely B&B with a winding porch, an inviting swing, and a majestic Willow tree swaying in the breeze. You step into the freshness and are greeted by a Host that will soon create amazing aromas, appetites and experiences. You know not what to expect and are timelessly taken on a journey of awareness, understanding, and perhaps even transformation. You see a piece of yourself in each guest: the elder, wise gentleman, Ray; the hard core business woman, Alison; the hopeful Matthew who is finding his way; and, young Madilyn and her baby who are navigating the new. And, even the Weeping Willow tree who views all arrivals and departures, and embraces each. Come sit at our table. This is OUR World. How will we choose to show up in it? What will we choose to see in each other? How are we influenced by external differences or our own beliefs? In parable, Be Good for Goodness Sake, is an exploration of these questions and of who we are as individuals living in a collective and often confusing world. The compass of life and how we choose to live it does not point in one direction all of the time. That is perfectly okay. It is actually unavoidable. The distinction of how you live in Our World is purely how you choose to. Now is your time to reflect on your story.

While the fierce debate over religion in public schools receives ample media attention, we rarely consider the implications of religious schools on moral education and liberal democracy. In this groundbreaking work, Walter Feinberg opens up a critical new dialogue to offer a complete discussion of the important role religious schools play in the formation of a democratic citizenry. Feinberg, a leading philosopher of education, approaches the subject of religious education with a rare evenhandedness, drawing on examples from Christian, Jewish, and Muslim schools and exploring topics as disparate as sex education and creationism. For Goodness Sake provides a much-needed take on a controversial topic, demonstrating that the relationship between religion and schooling is not simply the exclusive concern of members of a given religious community, but a relevant and vital issue for everyone who cares about education.
