NEW RELEASE – Joy beyond Agony by Jane Roach

Joy beyond Agony: Embracing the Cross of Christ, A Twelve-Lesson Bible Study
by Jane Roach

304 pages | $12.99 | Paperback

Summary: A devotional commentary ideal for small group discussion and study. Jesus endured the cross in anticipation of the joy set before him: victory over Satan, sin, and death, and union with his glorified redeemed. Now he calls us to follow him with crosses of our own. What does this mean?

Each of the twelve lessons in this volume explores one aspect of Jesus’ cross through Bible study, application questions, commentary, testimonies, and hymns. Our familiarity with the crucifixion narrative can cause us to miss its deep teaching. Learn what the cross shows us about our Savior and the paradoxes of Christian living, and discover the hope and joy it gives us as we face life’s struggles and uncertainties.

BOOK HIGHLIGHT – Where in the World Is the Church? by Michael S. Horton

Where in the World Is the Church? A Christian View of Culture and Your Role in It by Michael S. Horton

216 pages | Direct Price: $16.99 $13.00 | Paperback | Published: 2002

Summary: Have Christians misunderstood what it means to be in the world but not of it? Has the church, in a sense, neglected the world to the detriment of all? Michael S. Horton has written Where in the World is the Church? for “those Christians who struggle with a subculture that stifles rather than encourages their divinely given impulses and ambitions.” He does so “with the hope that theologians will learn more about other disciplines and that Christians in those other disciplines will anchor themselves more firmly in biblical theology before they attempt to ‘integrate’ their faith and life.”

About the Author:

Michael S. Horton (PhD, Wycliffe Hall, Oxford, and the University of Coventry) teaches apologetics and historical theology at Westminster Theological Seminary in California. He is the author of nine books and the editor of four.

What Others Say About this Book:

“A terrific book to give college students and anyone else wondering about occupational calling. Michael Horton lucidly shows how working hard and well in academia, the arts, science, and other areas of endeavor is full-time Christian service.”

– Marvin Olasky

BOOK HIGHLIGHT – Joy Comes in the Morning by Mark D. Futato

Joy Comes in the Morning: Psalms for All Seasons by Mark D. Futato

128 pages | Direct Price: $9.99 $7.50 | Paperback

Summary: Life is a journey over uneven terrain, through changing seasons. Whether we encounter highs or lows, the biblical Psalms stand ready to engage our emotions and clarify our thoughts.

Joy Comes in the Morning introduces us to the three major genres of the Psalms—praise, lament, thanksgiving—as keys to understanding the Psalms and using them in our lives and worship. Woven into the author’s discussion of three representative psalms is his own testimony of how, even through trying seasons of life, joy comes in the morning.

About the Author:

Mark D. Futato (MDiv, Westminster Theological Seminary; MA, PhD, Semetic Languages and Literature, The Catholic University of America) is professor of Old Testament at Reformed Theological Seminary, Orlando campus. Some of his books include, Creation: A Witness to the Wonder of God and Transformed by Praise: The Purpose and Message of the Psalms.

What Others Say About This Book:

“For nearly thirty years, Mark Futato has studied, taught, and lived the Psalms. Now he distills his multifaceted knowledge in a wonderfully readable and profound guide to the form, the interpretation, and the full meaning of the main genres of the Psalms. This is a clear, deep, and personal introduction to the songbook of Israel.”

Daniel Doriani

“With this book Mark Futato reaffirms his position as a sensitive and insightful interpreter of the Psalms. Mark shares not only his knowledge with us but also his heart and life story. I recommend this book to pastors and laypeople alike.”
