Sinossi

In "Idols in the Heart: A Tale," A. L. O. E. crafts a poignant narrative exploring the interplay of faith, desire, and the perils of idolization. Set against a backdrop of Victorian moral sensibilities, this novella unfolds as a cautionary tale that intricately examines the characters' internal struggles and societal pressures. A. L. O. E.'s lyrical prose is marked by vivid imagery and emotional depth, inviting readers into a world where personal convictions clash with societal expectations, leading to profound revelations and transformative experiences. The blend of spiritual introspection and moral commentary makes it a significant contribution to the literature of its time, resonating with themes of redemption and self-discovery. A. L. O. E., the pen name of the English writer Charlotte Maria Tucker, was known for her deep religious conviction and commitment to moral storytelling. Her diverse background, which spanned both literature and missionary work, heavily influenced her writing style and thematic choices. Tucker's personal experiences and faith shaped her perspectives on human nature and the struggle between materialism and spiritual fulfillment, as evident in "Idols in the Heart." Engaging and reflective, "Idols in the Heart" is a must-read for scholars of Victorian literature and anyone seeking a profound exploration of the human condition. Its rich characterization and moral underpinnings prompt introspection, making it a timeless narrative that resonates with readers seeking both entertainment and enlightenment.

  • Stealing My Religion - Not Just Any Cultural Appropriation - cover

    Stealing My Religion - Not Just...

    We think we know cultural appropriation when we see it. Blackface or Native American headdresses as Halloween costumes—these clearly give offense. But what about Cardi B posing as the Hindu goddess Durga in a Reebok ad, AA's twelve-step invocation of God, or the earnest namaste you utter at the end of yoga class? 
     
     
     
    Liz Bucar unpacks the ethical dilemmas of a messy form of cultural appropriation: the borrowing of religious doctrines, rituals, and dress for political, economic, and therapeutic reasons. Does borrowing from another's religion harm believers? Bucar sees religion as an especially vexing arena for appropriation debates because faiths overlap and imitate each other and because diversity within religious groups scrambles our sense of who is an insider and who is not. 
     
     
     
    Stealing My Religion guides us through three revealing case studies—the hijab as a feminist signal of Muslim allyship, a study abroad "pilgrimage" on the Camino de Santiago, and the commodification of yoga in the West. Reflecting on her own missteps, Bucar comes to a surprising conclusion: the way to avoid religious appropriation isn't to borrow less but to borrow more—to become deeply invested in learning the roots and diverse meanings of our enthusiasms.

    Meghan Decker is a woman who is attracted to women. She is also married to an amazing man, and together they are each committed to their faith, their covenants, and their testimony of Jesus Christ and his church.

    How to Fight Sexism in the Church 
     
     
     
    Despite the real progress that has been made in recent years, women continue to be silenced, wounded, and relegated to the sidelines in our churches. Many churches—even churches that outwardly affirm and platform women—remain unaware of the patterns and cultures at play that set up unseen barriers for women. 
     
     
     
    This is a book for Christians who want to learn how to do better. Heather Matthews has experienced sexism in the church firsthand. In Confronting Sexism in the Church, she explores the history and culture of sexism in our contemporary evangelical world and describes the many ways—subtle and not so subtle—that it lives on in the church today. She gives simple, practical steps for how Christians can actively fight sexism in its many forms. 
     
     
     
    The mistreatment of women has been part of the human experience from the very beginning—but in Christ, women are set free to be all they've been created to be. This book invites churches to live out that reality in all its fullness.

    Engaging 12-Week Study Helps Readers Better Understand and Apply God's Word
    The Knowing the Bible series is a resource designed to help Bible readers better understand and apply God's Word. These 12-week studies lead participants through books of the Bible and are made up of four basic components: (1) reflection questions help readers engage the text at a deeper level; (2) "Gospel Glimpses" highlight the gospel of grace throughout the book; (3) "Whole-Bible Connections" show how any given passage connects to the Bible's overarching story of redemption, culminating in Christ; and (4) "Theological Soundings" identify how historic orthodox doctrines are taught or reinforced throughout Scripture.
     
    In The Parables of Jesus, Douglas Sean O'Donnell helps readers study some of Scripture's most famous narrative parables—including the good Samaritan, the prodigal son, and the rich fool—and understand their place in the storyline of Scripture.
    
    - Helpful Bible Study Resource: Features date and historical background, theological context for the Bible passage, "Whole-Bible Connections," compelling reflection questions, and more
    - In-Depth: Ties the biblical text in with the whole story of Scripture, shows how each passage unveils the gospel, and illuminates the doctrines taught in each passage
    - Part of the Knowing the Bible Series: With contributions from an array of influential pastors and church leaders, these gospel-centered studies help Christians see and cherish the message of God's grace on every page of the Bible
