"If it ain't broke, don't fix it." But it's no secret that the Christian church is "broke," and does need fixing. Despite great effort, things are going badly for us. We've tried trendy and tech-savvy, entrepreneurial and coffee-house gritty. They're not helping. Our problem is deeper than that. Our problem is our instincts--instincts informed by our story. There was a time when the Christian church was a powerfully transformative presence in society. It can be again--but it will require radical rethinking of the story that informs our instincts. And it's time! It's been five hundred years since the Reformation, our last major update. Today is a pivotal moment in history. With our worldview upended by quantum physics, history is demanding we renew the Christian story for our times. Rethinking Our Story reframes the elements of the Christian narrative for the new era. It explores "quantum" ways of thinking about God, human nature, Jesus, salvation, and the afterlife. The future of the church and the health of our society depend on our willingness to rethink, retell, and live out a better story. We will either update our instincts and contribute to the earth's well-being--or disappear into oblivion.

A story is told of a dark force as old as history and as strong as desire, which humanity has tried to either defeat or befriend. Yet this power has no intention of being tamed, for it wants nothing less than to destroy us. Who or what is this evil that threatens our very existence? It is self-centeredness. It is what global warming, religious extremists, marital discord, criminal activity, and temper-tantrums all have in common; and no amount of negotiation or legislation will quiet its determination. The problem is: we have mixed feelings about self-centeredness. It makes us happy, yet it is the reason behind everything painful and ugly in us and in our world. What are we to do? It has so wrapped us in its clutches that strangling it feels like it would suffocate us. Its story has become our story. Gratefully, our story does not need to end in despair. There is another story, and it is about one who conquered this narcissism and established love in its place. It is a story that allows us to rethink our own life story. By thoroughly exploring God's story, iGod explores the relational crisis in which we find ourselves and outlines how we can find personal freedom, lasting peace, and eternal hope through Jesus Christ.

Sixty years ago a few men had a vision of mercy and compassion responding to disaster both locally and around the world. This organization grew. Thousands of volunteers, donors, and champions have emerged. Lives have been transformed, businesses built, nations affected, and a denomination fell in love with the ministry of World Renew.This book is a series of personal reflections capturing the past six decades of service around the world. This book is not an academic analysis of programs, nor does it make unrealistic claims of success. It describes the challenges, frustrations, pain along with the joy, fulfillment, and transformation of idealist people into world citizens. Anyone remotely or closely associated with the Christian Reformed denomination will recognize the stories and people they have seen and heard over the years. It really is a book of ordinary people, who have had an extraordinary experience, being the arms and feet of 1000 congregations in Canada and the United States. At the end of the day, all we can say is that God has blessed us way beyond our own resources and abilities.

THE 30th ANNIVERSARY EDITION WITH NEW, NEVER-BEFORE-PUBLISHED MATERIAL After the Internet, what came next? Enter the Metaverse - cyberspace home to avatars and software daemons, where anything and just about everything goes. Newly available on the Street - the Metaverse's main drag - is Snow Crash. A cyberdrug that reduces avatars in the digital world to dust, but also infects users in real life, leaving them in a vegetative state. This is bad news for Hiro, a freelance hacker and the Metaverse's best swordfighter, and mouthy skateboard courier Y. T.. Together, investigating the Infocalypse, they trace back the roots of language itself to an ancient Sumerian priesthood and find they must race to stop a shadowy virtual villain hell-bent on world domination. In this special edition of the remarkably prescient modern classic, Neal Stephenson explores linguistics, computer science, politics and philosophy in the form of a break-neck adventure into the fast-approaching yet eerily recognizable future.

This ground-breaking resource challenges and equips Christians to think and act biblically and compassionately in matters of sexuality. Sexual abuse, sex addiction, gender confusion, brokenness, and shame plague today's world, and people are seeking clarity and hope. By contesting long-held cultural paradigms, this book equips you to see how sexuality is rooted in the broader context of God's heart and His work for us on earth. It provides a framework from which to understand the big picture of sexual challenges and wholeness, and helps you recognize that every sexual question is ultimately a spiritual one. It shifts the paradigm from combating sexual problems to confidently proclaiming and modeling the road to sacred sexuality. Instead of arguing with the world about what's right and wrong about sexual choices, this practical resource equips you to share the love and grace of Jesus as you encounter the pain of sexual brokenness--your own or someone else's.
