Religion Saves: And Nine Other Misconceptions

"After 343,203 online votes on the Mars Hill Church website, nine questions for Pastor Mark Driscoll emerged as the ones most urgently calling for answers. Inspired by 1 Corinthians, in which Paul answers a series of questions posed by the people in the Corinthian church, Pastor Mark Driscoll set out to determine the most controversial questions among visitors to the Mars Hill Church website. In the end, 893 questions were asked and 343,203 votes were cast. The top nine questions are now each answered in a chapter of Religion Saves. After an introductory chapter devoted to the misconception that religion is what saves us, Driscoll tackles nine issues: birth control, humor, predestination, grace, sexual sin, faith and works, dating, the emerging church, and the regulative principle. Because the purpose of this book is to address commonly asked questions, all readers will find relevant, engaging material, written in Driscoll's distinctively edgy, yet theologically sound style."

Jesus, Interrupted

"The problems with the Bible that New Testament scholar Bart Ehrman discussed in his bestseller Misquoting Jesus—and on The Daily Show with John Stewart, NPR, and Dateline NBC, among others—are expanded upon exponentially in his latest book: Jesus, Interrupted. This New York Times bestseller reveals how books in the Bible were actually forged by later authors, and that the New Testament itself is riddled with contradictory claims about Jesus—information that scholars know… but the general public does not. If you enjoy the work of Elaine Pagels, Marcus Borg, John Dominic Crossan, and John Shelby Spong, you’ll find much to ponder in Jesus, Interrupted."

[Portuguese] - Louco amor: Maravilhado com um Deus que nunca muda

"Faz parte de qualquer relacionamento. A intensidade e a vibração dos primeiros momentos aos poucos são tomadas pela rotina e o que antes era uma feliz dependência torna-se um fardo, quando não, a cínica indiferença para com o outro. Infelizmente, o mesmo ocorre em nosso relacionamento com Deus. Acabamos nos acostumando a viver longe dele... só demoramos a nos dar conta disso. Nossa suposta auto-suficiência torna difícil encaixar Deus num mundo cujas principais respostas já foram dadas. Se essa é a conclusão a que chegamos, vale a pena ler e ouvir alguém que não se conforma com desculpas fatalistas. Francis Chan dedica sua vida a ser um tipo diferente de cupido. Tendo experimentado com grande intensidade o amor de Deus, empenha-se em contagiar outras pessoas a (re)viverem a mesma paixão. Segundo Chan, apenas experimentando e nutrindo um honesto relacionamento com Deus podemos dar a necessária chacoalhada em nossa vida e espantar a terrível mornidão que caracteriza nossa atitude diante do Pai. 'O livro Louco Amor tira as nuvens que tornam nossa espiritualidade nublada, reacende a chama por um relacionamento profundo com Deus e mexe com nossa mente. Se você quer deixar de ser um ativista cristão e aprofundar seu relacionamento com Deus não deixe de ler este livro'. Josué Campanhã - Diretor Sepal Brasil"

When Life and Beliefs Collide: How Knowing God Makes a Difference

"In Praise of When Life and Beliefs Collide.Sooner or later, life’s difficulties bring every Christian woman to God’s doorstep with questions too personal to ignore. “Why does God let me go through such painful circumstances?” “Why does he seem indifferent to my prayers?” We’re tired of spiritual pie in the sky. We want authentic, God-as-he-really-is faith—the kind that holds us together when our world is falling apart and equips us to offer strength and hope to others.When Life and Beliefs Collide raises a long-overdue call for us to think seriously about what we believe about God. With passion, brilliance, and eloquence, Carolyn Custis James weaves stories of contemporary women with episodes from the life of Mary of Bethany to illustrate the practical benefits of knowing God deeply. Examining the misperceptions and abuses that discourage women from pursuing a deeper understanding of God, this insightful book demonstrates how practical and down to earth knowing God can be.“This outstanding book offers the best demonstration that everyone needs theology, the best expository account of Mary and Martha, and the best trajectory for women’s ministry in modern North America that I have yet read.” —James I. Packer“Thoughtful, scholarly, and motivating . . . should inspire and encourage women for years to come.” —Joni Eareckson Tada“You will not think the same way, nor hopefully be the same, after reading this thought-provoking book.” —Vonette Zachary Bright“. . . affirms women in their calling, chosen-ness, and gifting, and makes us know we are cherished and planned for.” —Jill Briscoe"

The God I Don't Understand: Reflections on Tough Questions of Faith

"Many Christians believe that they have to understand everything about their faith for that faith to be genuine. This isn't true. There are many things we don't understand about God, His Word, and His works. And this is actually one of the greatest things about the Christian faith: that there are areas of mystery that lie beyond the keenest scholarship or even the most profound spiritual exercises. Sadly, for many people these problems raise so many questions and uncertainties that faith itself becomes a struggle. But questions, and even doubts, are part of faith. Chris Wright encourages us to face the limitations of our understanding and to acknowledge the pain and grief they can often cause. In The God I Don't Understand, he focuses on four of the most mysterious subjects in the Bible and reflects upon why it's important to ask questions without having to provide the answer: - The problem of evil and suffering. - The genocide of the Canaanites. - The cross and the crucifixion. - The end of the world. 'However strongly we believe in divine revelation, we must acknowledge both that God has not revealed everything and that much of what he has revealed is not plain. It is because Dr. Wright confronts biblical problems with a combination of honesty and humility that I warmly commend this book.' -John Stott"
