Ethics
 |
Book Description
"I could never myself believe in God, if it were not for the cross . . . In the real world of pain, how could one worship a God who was immune to it?" With compelling honesty John Stott confronts this generation with the centrality of the cross in God's redemption of the world -- a world now haunted by the memories of Auschwitz, the pain of oppression and the specter of nuclear war.
Can we see triumph in tragedy, victory in shame? Why should an object of Roman distaste and Jewish disgust be the emblem of our worship and the axiom of our faith? And what does it mean for us today?

 | The Cost of DiscipleshipAuthor: Dietrich BonhoefferBinding: Paperback List price: $15.00 USD Amazon price: $10.20 USD |
Book Description
One of the most important theologians of the twentieth century illuminates the relationship between ourselves and the teachings of Jesus
What can the call to discipleship, the adherence to the word of Jesus, mean today to the businessman, the soldier, the laborer, or the aristocrat? What did Jesus mean to say to us? What is his will for us today? Drawing on the Sermon on the Mount, Dietrich Bonhoeffer answers these timeless questions by providing a seminal reading of the dichotomy between "cheap grace" and "costly grace." "Cheap grace," Bonhoeffer wrote, "is the grace we bestow on ourselves...grace without discipleship....Costly grace is the gospel which must be sought again and again, the girl which must be asked for, the door at which a man must know....It is costly because it costs a man his life, and it is grace because it gives a man the only true life."

 | Honesty, Morality & ConscienceAuthor: Jerry WhiteBinding: Paperback List price: $17.00 USD Amazon price: $13.26 USD |
Book Description
INTEGRITY. We want to be men and women of integrity. But living honestly is tough-particularly when the standards for ethical behavior seem to shift and change constantly. And there are many areas about which the Bible doesn't speak specifically. How do we know what to do about those "gray" areas of life?
In Honesty, Morality & Conscience, Jerry White takes a hard look at some of life's "gray" areas. He explores such topics as questionable business practices, lying, declining morals, sexual immorality, superficial relationships, and even our own self-deceit. And he explains how following Scripture, the Holy Spirit, and our conscience leads ultimately to right convictions and right decisions.
