I Am

366 Meditations and Prayers on the Names of God

By: Ann Sowell Brock

In scripture, a person’s name epitomizes the very essence of his identity. The abundance of God’s names in His Word showcases the many aspects of His identity that reflect the ways He meets the daily situations of our lives. God desires that we seek Him, know Him, and understand His ways. One can attain a deeper revelation of the majesty of God by what He has revealed about Himself through His names. A canvas of His names vividly displays the majesty of His inexhaustible character to one hungry to know Him. Gazing into the face of I AM through His names captivates the seeking heart to drink in the thirst-quenching beauty of our awesome God. I Am is a collection of 366 meditations on the names and attributes of God that reveals the splendor of His character to every heart seeking to know and understand Him. I Am invites those who long for new heights of joy and delight in His presence: • to discover daily revelations about Him • to develop a renewed passion to know Him • to experience deeper levels of intimacy with Him • to create a deeper longing for prayer to Him • to build a stronger foundation of faith in Him

Proverbs of Ashes

Violence, Redemptive Suffering, and the Search for What Saves Us

By: Rita Nakashima Brock,Rebecca Ann Parker

Rebecca Parker was a young minister in Seattle when a woman walked into her church and asked if God really wanted her to accept her husband's beatings and bear them gladly, as Jesus bore the cross. Parker knew, at that moment, that if she were to answer the woman's question truthfully she would have to rethink her theology. And she would have to think hard about some of the choices she was making in her own life. When Rita Nakashima Brock was a young child growing up in Kansas, kids taunted her viciously, calling her names like "Chink" or "Jap." She learned to pretend that she did not feel the sting of scorn and the humiliation of contempt. The solitude and silence of her suffering-decreed by both her mother's Japanese culture and her father's Christian heritage-kept the wound alive. It was the gap between knowledge born of personal experience and traditional theology that led Rita Brock and Rebecca Parker to write this emotionally gripping and intellectually rich exploration of the doctrine of the atonement. Using an unusual combination of memoir and theology in the tradition of Augustine's Confessions, they lament the inadequacy of how Christian tradition has interpreted the violence that happened to Jesus. Ultimately, they argue, the idea that the death of Jesus on the cross saves us reveals a sanctioning of violence at the heart of Christianity. Brock and Parker draw on a wide array of intimate stories about family violence, the sexual abuse of children, racism, homophobia, and war to reveal how they came to understand the widespread damage being done by this theology. But the authors also undertake their own arduous and unexpected journeys to recover from violence and to assist others to do so. On these journeys they discover communities that begin to give them the strength to question the destructive ideas they have internalized, and the strength to seek out an alternative vision of Christianity, one based on healing and love. Proverbs of Ashes is both a condemnation of bad theology and a passionate search for what truly saves us.

Gender and Power in Families

By: Ann C. Miller,Rosine Jozef Perelberg

The systems approach to the family is based on the assumptions that there is equality between men and women in the family, and that women and men are treated equally in clinical practice. The contributors to this book challenge these hidden assumptions, discussing the issues from both a conceptual and clinical viewpoint. They argue strongly that questions of gender and power should be central to family therapy training and practice.
