    "This wonderful book is a pastoral, homiletical gift to those in need of encouragement. Diagnosing the problem of our era as a failure of hope, Irwyn Ince shares the fruit of his profound meditations, study, and preaching of the book of Hebrews. This is the kind of strong medicine needed to restore hope in a generation that has been disappointed by apathy, injustice, and scandal. He shows us that the hope of the gospel is the secret to joy and endurance. For those who are discouraged, sorrowful, and struggling, this wise book helps us to have eyes to see the beauty of Jesus anew." – Tish Harrison Warren, Anglican priest and author of Prayer in the Night
Sometimes hope can feel like a scam—a swindle, a hustle. You thought it was real, and you bought into it. But then the tables turn, and you feel like you've been hustled—like you've been had.
As Christians, we often respond to the brokenness of life as if we do not actually have hope—as if the promises of God are not really certain. But Pastor Irwyn Ince assures us that not only do we have hope, but that hope cannot disappoint us because it is validated by God himself. Hope Ain't a Hustle is a clear and accessible exploration of the epistle to the Hebrews, urging us to place our confidence in the finished work of our great high priest, Jesus Christ, and showing how that confidence changes the way we live in the here and now.
It's not that Christians don't face grief or anger, disappointment or deep sorrow. It's that we don't face them as those "who have no hope."

    An Artist's Look at Theology, Art, and Philosophy
Dear Tom,
Thanks for writing again—and for this unusually philosophical response to my letter! In response: my theology of art is my theology. Period. I think of God as the Artist and all human artists as eternal apprentices. Consequently, all my thinking about God involves the centrality of beauty and the act of making. As I've said many times, we were made by a Maker to be makers. . . .
Bruce
In a series of fictional letters, respected artist and educator Bruce Herman passes on wisdom to a younger generation. He explores a wide array of practical, philosophical, and theological issues, such as:

- What is art versus craft? What is good art?
- What is the calling of an artist? Of a Christian artist?
- What do you do when you're stuck in your creative process?
- How should Christians relate to the contemporary art scene?
- What is beauty, and how is it relevant in our world?
Full of personal stories and behind-the-scene looks at Herman's own artistic process, Makers by Nature also features full-color artwork by Herman and several of his former students. Artists and art lovers will find insight, wonder, and encouragement to consider the Maker's invitation to creativity, however it takes shape.

    The world we live in today is described fully in the Holy Scriptures, “There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother. There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness.” That is in Proverbs chapter thirty. They call evil good and good evil, as revealed in Isaiah chapter five. In this book, you will learn how to prevent these Sodom-like characters from being the portion of your children. I encourage you to get both the paperback and the audiobook for yourself, your spouse, and your teenage children.
