Recently, I was told that the social service workers in my state are told to ask their clients, "What gender do you choose today?" Our economy is hanging on to a thread printing trillions of paper dollars while the "value" of bitcoin exceeds $50,000. People are burning their cities and inciting riots while government officials do nothing and even more ridiculously, voting to remove their police departments. The threat of COVID-19 has closed economies, government offices, airports, and schools around the world. It's obvious we are living in treacherous times. It's true that I witnessed some of these occurrences in the sixties with the protests against the war in Vietnam, but now the cancer has moved upward into the brain as the "educated" folk have grown up and become the leaders of today. History tells us (but that's being rewritten too) that every great civilization that's fallen has fallen because of inward deterioration--and then capitulation. Morals were exchanged for tolerance, progress, and acceptance; truth and honesty were traded for lies and deceit; innocence was traded for pleasure and indulgence; and strength was exchanged for "peace." A past president repeatedly spouted, "Diversity is our greatest strength." Really? What about life, liberty, truth, morality, justice? I'm afraid my USA is "progressing" to decline and capitulation unless we wake up very soon. This book is meant to be a foundational rock for my children and grandchildren, an anchor in the storm of life. The truths and thoughts expressed are not to be embraced with a "leap of faith" but to be evidence considered. However, as expressed in the chapter "The Incipiency of the Will," each person possesses the ability to choose their own destiny regardless of evidence...and the right. But if we ignore reality--spiritual and physical--we will perish. We have not perished yet! This book is my part to awaken the drowsy and weary, strengthen the weak, and prod the mind and heart with prayers for repentance, redemption, and restoration. Grab on to this anchor!

This book draws upon ethnographic and qualitative research in the United States to demonstrate the means through which long-haul truck drivers navigate work and family tensions in ways that resonate across categories of race, class, gender and religion. It examines how Christianity and constructions of masculinity are significant in the lives of long-haul drivers and how truckers work to construct narratives of their lives as ‘good, moral’ individuals in contrast to competing cultural narratives which suggest images of romantic, rule-free, renegade lives on the open road. Based upon ethnographic fieldwork, interviews, observations of long-haul truckers, and participation in a CDL school, this rich ethnography highlights how Christian trucking opportunities provide avenues through which balance is struck between work and family, masculinity and other identities. Embedded in larger social discourse about the meaning of masculinity and similar to evangelical perspectives such as those of the Promise Keepers, Christian truckers often draw upon older ideas about responsible, breadwinning fatherhood in their discourse about being good “fathers” while on the road. This discourse is in some conflict with the lived experiences of Christian truckers who simultaneously find themselves confronted by more contemporary cultural narratives of “the work-family balance” and expectations of what it means to be a good “worker” or a good “trucker.” The book offers new insight in the field of work and family studies and an extremely relevant voice in the broader contemporary discourse in the United States on the meaning of fatherhood and religion in the 21st century.

This book is to let people know that the trials in life set before us are for our good in order to grow closer to Christ. They are also set before us so we learn to be thankful in the bad, the good, and the things that happen to us in our everyday lives. It is to grow us and get us ready for eternity and to share with others what God has promised us and, ultimately, to show how God provides for us in times of need.

Journeys that begin in brokenness rarely follow a straight road to healing. There are twists and turns—and setbacks—on the path of repentance. Night Driving tells the story of a pastor and seminary professor whose moral failures destroyed his marriage and career, left his life in ruins, and sent him spiraling into a decade-long struggle against God. Forced to fight the demons of his past in the cab of the semi-truck he drove at night through the Texas oil fields, Chad Bird slowly began to limp toward grace and healing. Drawing on his expertise as an Old Testament scholar, Bird weaves together his own story, the biblical story, and the stories of fellow prodigals as he peels back the layers of denial, anger, addiction, and grief to help readers come face-to-face both with their own identities and with the God who alone can heal them.

Our Chapel was not open 7 days a week because there were not enough Chaplains. If you are looking for a ministry, there is a great need for Chaplains. Truck drivers are one of the least groups that Christian’s minister to. Even churches who almost sit next door to truck stops, disregard them. Compared to the number of “Full Service” Truck Stops there are few Chapels. You could say there are virtually none. And, even worse there are few Full Time and Volunteer Chaplains to staff them. Most of the Chapels are not open 24 hours or even 7 days a week. OTR Drivers are active 24 hours a day. With so few Chapels and Chaplains, that limits drivers to even have access to a Chapel, much less find one open. There are very few churches, even in rural areas that have room in their parking lots for a “big rig.” It is a much-needed domestic ministry. It lacks Chapels because there are so few Chaplains. Chaplains have to raise their own financial support. The lack of financial support means Chaplains, both Full Time and volunteer, need to raise their own support. Local church support, along with individual support, for this domestic mission is needed.

This book is a set of reflections and recollections of a truck driver's forty plus years in the hard and unforgiving world of the haulage and transport industry. It delves into methods resorted to in order to survive and make ends meet for himself and his family, in a world where the truck driver is deemed the lowest of the low. There is humor, pathos, some love and some violence. There are tales of underhand dealings, fiddles and thievery. It tells of times when truck driving was a man's world. Hard relentless toil, long, unsocial hours, when there was no power steering and all gearboxes were constant mesh. When roping and sheeting was the norm. When truck driving was not just a job, it was a way of life.

One of the thorniest problems in theological study is the relationship between biblical studies on the one hand, and constructive theology on the other. Theologians know that the Bible is the core source document for theological construction, and hence that they must be in conversation with the best in critical study of Scripture. For many biblical scholars, the point of what they do is to help the biblical text speak to today’s church and world, and hence they would do well to be in conversation with contemporary theology. Yet too often the two groups fail to engage each other’s work in significant and productive ways. The purpose of the Library of Biblical Theology, and this introductory volume to it, is to bring the worlds of biblical scholarship and constructive theology together. It will do so by reviving biblical theology as a discipline that describes the faith of the biblical periods on the one hand, and on the other hand articulates normative understandings of modern faith and practice. In this volume the authors begin by providing an overview of the history and possible future of biblical theology. They introduce biblical theology as a fundamentally contrastive discipline, one that is neither dogmatic theology (seeking to explain the official teachings of a particular Christian tradition), nor is it a purely historical approach to Scripture, eschewing questions of the Bible’s contemporary message and meaning. Rather, biblical theology takes seriously both the need to understand the message of Scripture in its particular historical context, and the need to address that message to questions that confront contemporary human life.
