Miracles are woven into the fabric of Christianity. From Genesis to Revelation, they are threads that run throughout the entire tapestry of Scripture. It seems, however, that our society has waged an all-out assault on miracles and their relevance. Today, biblical miracles are brushed aside as mere superstition or myth, while God is dismissed as unnecessary. Is there really a wonder-working God?Prayer is a powerful thing. It is a two-way conversation between a holy God and those He has chosen to redeem. Prayer is not powerful because of the words we choose, nor based upon the amount of faith that we possess, but because we serve an awesome God who is able to step into our natural world and work miracles on our behalf. So, the question is not whether there is a God, but rather how big is your God? Our faith is literally stitched together by God's miraculous power.

Everyone believes in something. We trust gravity to keep us on the ground, our stool to keep us off the floor, and the sun to rise tomorrow. We don't even think about it. But trusting in someone we cannot see is really difficult. It's bad enough trying to trust people we think we know.This book is for anyone willing to gather in a coffee shop or sports bar--wherever friends can talk about such issues. Issues we discuss in the park, hallway, or lunchroom. Deep questions we ponder when our phone is on vibrate.These studies look at people from the Bible who have considered connecting with the God-human Jesus--and what they discovered. So if you're willing to take another (or first-time) look, grab your favorite drink and jump in.

This work is a great addition to Christian literature as it reveals to those who engage its pages the quest of ultimate security. It is reassuring to know that in a world of people who feel as if they are without hope that there is a means to determine how to enter into a relationship with God and to live a meaningful life and expect a heavenly future. Mark L. Bailey, President, Dallas Theological Seminary

The book explores how African Christians in Ghana can think eco-theologically about the nexus of mining, waste pollution, water pollution, and land degradation. In 2017, the government of Ghana banned illegal mining and declared war against any activity that does not complement environmental protection and conservation of natural resources. The Christian church needs academic resources to support the campaign against the destruction of the land, water bodies, and environment. The papers presented generate theological imaginations in shaping the political campaign against the destruction of the land and the environment. Reflection on areas related to the theme includes: ""The Concept of Land in the Bible""; ""The Christian Church and the Galamsey Menace in West Africa""; ""The Fulani Cattle Headsmen and Care for the Land""; ""The Bible and the Environment: Towards an Agenda for Eco-theology in African Theological Institutions""; ""Stewardship of the Land""; ""The Menace of Mining in Ghana""; ""Destruction of Water Bodies in Ghana""; and ""The Menace of Plastic Waste in Ghana."" This volume will serve as a textbook for theological students, the church, and other governmental agencies.

Discovering I had been abused was a shock, but being diagnosed with multiple personality disorder (MPD) was not. It held its own fascinations, from the way each alter talked, to the type of clothes they liked to wear. They even noticed different things about people. A mere blink of the eyes could mean a different alter was present. It was not an easy job for the therapist. Little Glenda, who was the last alter to make herself known, looked into peoples eyes to see what kind of person they were. She wrote these letters for our therapist, letting her know she hid in the background the whole time. She chose to endear our therapist with the name Mommy Twinkle Eyes.

In Who Needs a Missionary? Robert Reese reviews his own missionary experiences in Zimbabwe and finds that the best results came from an indigenous leader who had the least contact with missionaries. Reese conducted interviews with this leader to let him speak for himself about his journey with God in ministry; these interviews form the heart of the book. Mostly without missionary guidance, this Zimbabwean Christian of humble origins journeyed from his conversion to Christ to arrive at a transformation of his home community. Reese draws lessons from the life of this remarkable leader, who has enjoyed so few earthly advantages, yet has been rich in faith and fruitfulness. God has determined that the gospel will work all by itself whenever and wherever it is planted in human hearts.
