Breaking Down the Walls of Shame and Rebuilding Your Soul

# data[].attributes.description
Christian women have allowed shame to condemn and confine them for far too long. If youre ready to turn things around, Aubrey Sampsona pastors wife, and an advocate for at-risk womeninvites you to become an unashamed woman.

Using the model of a house, Sampson identifies eight major lies of shame such as: Ill have more value when I change; I cannot experience freedom from shame; My past is unsalvageable; and Shame is only traumatic.

Written with a strong biblical theology and humorous authenticity, as well as true-life stories shared by women of all ages, Sampson equips readers with tools for an ongoing spiritual discipline of shamelessness. Sampson deals directly with the shame that comes from comical moments in life, as well as from sexual abuse, eating disorders, addiction, abandonment, and other real-life issues. She also encourages women to transform their lifes story into ministry, creating ripple effects of hope and healing that can change the world.

Written for any woman whose self-worth has been stolen, Overcomer gives her the courage, in Jesus, to reclaim it.

Vintage Christianity for New Generations

# data[].attributes.description
IncludesSamples and photos of emerging church worship gatherings Recommended resources for the emerging churchThe seeker-sensitive movement revolutionized the way we did church and introduced countless baby boomers to Jesus. Yet trends show that todays post-Christian generations are not responding like the generations before them. As we enter a new cultural era, what do worship services look like that are connecting with the hearts of emerging generations? How do preaching, leadership, evangelism, spiritual formation, and, most of all, how we even think of church need to change?The Emerging Church goes beyond just theory and gets into very practical ways of assisting you in your local church circumstances. There is no one right way, no model for us all to emulate. But there is something better. Dan Kimball calls it Vintage Christianity: a refreshing return to an unapologetically sacred, raw, historical, and Jesus-focused missional ministry. Vintage Christianity connects with emerging post-seeker generations who are very open spiritually but are not interested in church.  For pastors, leaders, and every concerned Christian, Kimball offers a riveting and easy-to-grasp exploration of todays changing culture and gives insight into the new kind of churches that are emerging in its midst. Included is running commentary by Rick Warren, Brian McLaren, Howard Hendricks, and others.

The Life and Theology of the Founder of Middle Knowledge

# data[].attributes.description
When Luis de Molina died in Madrid in 1600, he had every reason to believe he was about to be anathametized by Pope Clement VIII. The Protestant Reformation was splitting Europe, tribunals of the Inquisition met regularly in a dozen Spanish cities, and the Pope had launched a commission two years earlier to investigate Molinas writings.

Molina was eventually vindicated, though the decision came seven years after his death. In the centuries that followed Molina was relegated to relatively minor status in the history of theology until a renaissance of interest in recent years. His doctrine of Gods middle knowledge, in particular, has been appropriated by a number of current philosophers and theologians, with apologist William Lane Craig calling it one of the most fruitful theological ideas ever conceived.

In Luis de Molina: The Life and Theology of the Founder of Middle Knowledge, author Kirk R. MacGregor outlines the main contours of Molinas subtle and far-reaching philosophical theology, covering his views on Gods foreknowledge, salvation and predestination, poverty and obedience, and social justice. Drawing on writings of Molina never translated into English, MacGregor also provides insight into the experiences that shaped Molina, recounting the events of a life fully as dramatic as any of the Protestant Reformers.

With implications for topics as wide-ranging as biblical inerrancy, creation and evolution, the relationship between Christianity and world religions, the problem of evil, and quantum indeterminacy, Molinas thought remains as fresh and relevant as ever. Most significantly, perhaps, it continues to offer the possibility of a rapprochement between Calvinism and Arminianism, a view of salvation that fully upholds both Gods predestination and human free will.

As the first full-length work ever published on Molina, Kirk MacGregors Luis de Molina provides an accessible and insightful introduction for scholars, students, and armchair theologians alike.
