- An Intrusive Gospel?: Christian Mission in the Postmodern World (Paperback)
 (12) (Saturday, 16 August 2008) Few of us are aware of how profoundly the process of modernization has affected both our theology and our concept of the Christian mission in the world. This is true for conservative as well as liberal Christians. The great missionary movement of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, of which the church's service programs are vital part, was the historical counterpart of Western modernization, and the gospel we have preached from our position of power has contained more promise of upward mobility through technology and democracy than we may have intended.

- Attacking Poverty in the Developing World (32) (Saturday, 29 September 2007)
The needs of the poor in developing countries for more productive and satisfying ways to earn their living, and for better nutrition, education and health care are tremendous. God in his grace moves his people to contribute money, skills and other resources to meet these needs, often through the work of Christian development organizations. But the resources forthcoming from a fallen world are limited, and the call to exercise good stewardship over them is pressing. This book equips Christians for "thoughtful stewardship": the application of God-given analytical abilities in making the most of the limited... View Rating and Comments

- Building Bridges: Christianity and Islam
 (10) (Saturday, 16 August 2008) Muslims and Christians have much in common. Although historically the relationship between Islam and Christianity has been strained at best, it doesn't have to be that way. There are many areas of common ground between the two faiths, providing ample opportunity to build relationships. Fouad Accad grew up in Lebanon and spent most of his life there building bridges between individual followers of Christianity and followers of Islam. His passion was to bring two communities together-Muslim and Christian. What Accad built were bridges of understanding, communication, and love. Building Bridges provides personal experiences based on a lifetime... View Rating and Comments
