Sinopse

Richard Baxter's "A Christian Directory: Christian Ethics" is a seminal work that explores the intricate relationship between theological principles and moral imperatives within the Christian faith. Written in a clear, didactic style, Baxter organizes the text into accessible sections that guide readers through ethical dilemmas and practical living. Drawing upon Scripture and Puritan theology, the book serves as both a manual for ethical conduct and a spiritual guide, addressing a range of topics from personal piety to societal responsibilities within a Christian framework. Baxter, a prominent 17th-century Puritan minister, was deeply influenced by the turbulent socio-political milieu of his time, including the English Civil War. His pastoral experiences in Bridgnorth and later in Kidderminster, where he sought to address the spiritual needs of his congregation, shaped his understanding of Christian ethics. Baxter's commitment to spiritual revival and personal holiness is evident throughout the text, reflecting his desire to equip believers in navigating the complexities of moral life. For those seeking profound insights into living a Christian life grounded in ethical principles, Baxter's "A Christian Directory: Christian Ethics" is an invaluable resource. It is highly recommended for scholars, practitioners, and anyone interested in deepening their understanding of Christian ethics in both historical and contemporary contexts.

With her social anxiety, Mackenzie never thought she'd be a contender in her company's holiday competition, so how exactly has she found herself dueling her workplace crush with wrapping paper tubes and using tinsel as her weapon of choice for a much-needed raise? 
     
    Jeremy Fletcher's life is meticulously planned out, including how to win this year's promotion at work. Not only will the new position fulfill some of his career goals, but as a single guardian to his twin niece and nephew, he needs the salary increase to support his family. Jeremy has barely noticed Mackenzie Graham around the office, but now that she's his rival, he can't stop thinking about her. Her quirkiness intrigues him, and he's afraid that if he can't get his head on straight, the promotion isn't the only thing he'll end up losing to Mackenzie.
