Hope Beyond Pandemic

By: Bruce G. Epperly

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Our lives have been disrupted by a pandemic, but at some point we will find a new normal. What will we do then? Better, what should we do then? Bruce Epperly has been writing while living through this time as a pastor, teacher, author, and grandparent. He provided some lessons for a hopeful, fulfilling life during the pandemic in his book Faith in a Time of Pandemic. In this book, he goes beyond that time to look at what these experiences should challenge us to do. How can we live better in the world. Fearlessly but gently he takes on issues of injustice, intolerance, inequality in society and discusses how the interdependence we have found during this time needs to be lived out in our society as a whole. His solutions are spiritual, social, and yes, political. Each chapter of the book includes a section titled “Hopeful Activism,” with suggestions on what to do about the issues discussed, a section on spirituality, and a prayer—one that is challenging to pray! This book is suitable for individual reading, but it will find its greatest value as a small group or churchwide study, or perhaps as a hopeful, forward looking study to do together online while we continue in social distancing.

Hope Beyond Suicide

Hope Beyond Suicide

By: J. Bruce Sofia

It is estimated that each suicide directly affects at least six other people, meaning that one in every 65 Americans are directly affected by suicide. As a pastor, Rev. Dr. J. Bruce Sofia has seen too many lives “hijacked” by suicide. In his book, Hope Beyond Suicide, Sofia compassionately calls attention to one of the most important and controversial questions facing the Church today. “‘Will a person who commits suicide go to Heaven?’ Or maybe the question is better worded: ‘Will a person who commits suicide go to Hell?’” Rev. Dr. Sofia offers the biblical perspective to accompany the true life stories of parishioners who took their own lives while also incorporating the stories of six biblical figures who took their own lives: King Saul, King Saul’s armor bearer, Ahithophel, King Zimri, Judas Iscariot and Samson. If you or someone you know is struggling to cope with the suicide of a loved one, or to answer the difficult questions about the relationship between suicide, Jesus, and eternal life; Hope Beyond Suicide, then this book will undoubtedly prove itself to be an invaluable gift and resource.

Plowing in Hope

Toward a Biblical Theology of Culture

By: David Bruce Hegeman

Culture is a continuing, forward process-the gradual unveiling of truth as life. But often we get ensnarled. We can only imagine culture as a war, a gritty ideological and religious struggle where every arena is bloody with strife: art, philosophy, cuisine, music, literature, science. But at its foundation, culture is about building, not conflict. The time has come for us to beat our swords into plowshares. By realizing the Bible's vision for a cultivated earth, we can build a more comprehensive, radical, holistic culture, resistant to compromise and dedicated to a Trinitarian aesthetic. What does this culture look like? It is the development of the earth into a global fabric of gardens and cities in harmony with nature-a glorious garden-city. Plowing in Hope provides a positive, clear, and colorful introduction to this transformational topic. "David Hegeman's approach is refreshingly different. He maps out a positive theology of culture building rooted in Creation and extending into the New Jerusalem. His wonderful little book, based on sound Biblical exegesis, presents a compelling case for why and how we should build a culture that magnifies God and ennobles men." -David Ayers, Grove City College, Pennsylvania

A Hope-Filled Journey Under His Sky

By: Bruce George Allder

This book is a very personal reflection on the life of Belinda (BJ) Allder, a young missionary whose life was cut short through cancer. Her father, Bruce, a Christian pastor and educator, explores the influences that shaped BJ into an effective missionary who impacted many people around the world. BJ's own reflections of her journey of life and faith through the battle with cancer are shared through excerpts from her own daily journal. While the emotions expressed are raw, there is a celebration of life and grace in the midst of tragedy. In this authentic and intellectually honest reflection, the focus is on serving in the midst of suffering. How does one make sense of unanticipated and devastating circumstances that came the way of BJ and her family? How does one "lean into suffering" and allow that response to make a significant impact? How does a pastoral family deal with the faith questions that inevitably come as a result of this journey of suffering? These are some of the questions explored through the retelling of specific events in the life of BJ Allder and her family.

The Hope of the South

An SPU Adventure

By: Bruce Thomas

It's 1865, and the writing is on the wall: the end of the Civil War is coming, and the South will not win this fight. A group of Confederate officers have acquired some serious spoils of war, and they decide to hide it. Together, they will one day rebuild the South... Almost a century and a half later, the Special Projects Unit is hunting down a terrorist mastermind planning a widespread attack on American cities. The SPU must work to stop the madman from activating another 9/11 type of attack. When a letter addressed to the President of the United States from over 100 years ago is found, the team embarks on a present-day treasure hunt. These two events are woven together into a captivating read. Author Bruce Thomas, a retired military fighter pilot and current commercial airlines pilot, has written a page-turner of a historical mystery. Readers will delight in the fact-based story that also takes them on an escapist journey of codes, riddles, and a treasure hunt that has become a true matter of life and death.

Ireland's Hope: The “peculiar theories” of James Fintan Lalor

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Ireland's Hope: The “peculiar theories” of James Fintan Lalor

By: James P. Bruce

In 1847 and 1848 a little-known farmer named James Fintan Lalor wrote a series of newspaper articles in which he outlined his vision for Ireland after the Great Famine. Although they have been reprinted and republished many times since, until now there has been no systematic study of the principles and proposals that Lalor expounded. In this book, the author considers Lalor’s brief career as a writer and offers new insights into his treatment of the national and land questions. By elucidating Lalor’s ideas on these questions, exploring possible influences on his thinking, and assessing the impact of his writings on his contemporaries, the author seeks to address what he regards as two deficiencies in the historiography. The first of these is the tendency to assign only a minor, supporting role to Lalor during the brief heyday of Young Ireland. Academic studies typically portray him as little more than a catalyst in the radicalisation of figures like John Mitchel, rather than as a profoundly original thinker in his own right. The second issue is the commonly held perception of Lalor’s proposals on land tenure as foreshadowing the creation of a “peasant proprietary” later in the century. The author argues that Lalor advocated a much more radical plan that would link his two primary objectives: the creation of a sovereign Irish republic, and transfer of control over landholding from a small number of landlords to the entire Irish people. By comparing and contrasting Lalor’s theories with those of earlier figures such as Thomas Paine and James ‘Bronterre’ O’Brien, this ground-breaking book broadens the perspective on Lalor and his writings beyond the context of Irish nationalism. As the author concludes, Lalor’s unique contribution to Irish radical thought merits a more prominent place in nineteenth-century intellectual history than it has hitherto received. This book will be of great value to anyone interested in Irish history since 1800, especially in the areas of the Great Famine, the Young Ireland movement, and the Land War.

Star Wars: A New Hope - The Special Edition

By: Bruce Jones,Eduardo Barreto,Al Williamson; Carlos Garzon; Tim Hildebrandt; Greg Hildebrandt

When George Lucas made the first Star Wars motion picture, a scene was shot wherein Han Solo met Jabba the Hutt. But as any Star Wars fan knows, Jabba didn't appear until the third film, Return of the Jedi. Lucas had hit the technological wall -- he couldn't craft Jabba the way he wanted, so he simply removed the scene from his initial, ground-breaking movie. Two decades later he that footage -- with a young Harrison Ford portraying a brash Han Solo -- and added Jabba to it. The result is incredible. The hair will stand up on the back of your neck, and you'll feel twenty years younger as you experience that remarkable thrill all over again. That's the same feeling you'll have as you read this adaptation of Star Wars: A New Hope. Crafted completely from scratch by Bruce Jones, Eduardo Barreto, and longtime Star Wars artist Al Williamson, with a stunning cover by Greg and Tim Hildebrandt, this adaptation includes the new scenes from the Special Edition. Experience it again, for the very first time. *

Breathing Hope

By: Bruce T. Anderson

In 2016 there were 437,465 children and teens across America removed from their homes and placed into foster care. The majority brought with them trauma from neglect and abuse they had experienced early in life. For over 45 years, Bruce T. Anderson has worked with hundreds of youth who have known trauma firsthand. Many have learned to breathe hope and have gone on to live productive lives. For Joni it was on a bicycle. For Allie it was on a mountain in Colorado. For Trina it started with disappointment at school. These are their stories. What others are saying: I laughed. I cried. Reading this helped me to understand a lot about troubled teens and even myself. You cannot read this book and not experience hope. Easy to read, but hard to put down. Faye B This book has the WOW factor aEUR| full of expectations, hope, anxiety and reassurances. aEUR| a must read full of faith, belief and security. Evie, Artist and Poet An inspirational account of a life's work in changing directions of broken young lives. Breathing Hope gives shape and substance to what hope looks like in the making. John C In Breathing Hope, I found inspirational stories of youth who because of deep trauma had too often been deemed hopeless by unspoken norms. At nine years of age, that was me. I recommend this book to anyone who has known the scars of trauma and to those who genuinely care about children and youth: parents, teachers, social workers, childcare workers, church/synagogue volunteers and anyone who wants to make a lasting difference. Dave E, Survivor and Breather of Hope Bruce T. Anderson is a graduate of Taylor University and has an MSSW degree from the University of Cincinnati. He has been a licensed social worker (LCSW) in the State of Maryland since 1985. He lives in Western, Maryland.

A Guide for Murdered Children

By: Bruce Wagner

In her astonishing thriller, Sarah Sparrow has joined the ranks of Shirley Jackson and Stephen King. A warning: there is no safe place to read this book." –David Cronenberg Originally Published under the name Sarah Sparrow, Bruce Wagner's A Guide for Murdered Children is terrifying, thoroughly original, and hauntingly written. Ex-NYPD detective Willow Wylde is fresh out of rehab and finally able to find a job running a Cold Case squad in suburban Detroit. When the two rookie cops assigned to him take an obsessive interest in a decades-old disappearance of a brother and sister, Willow begins to suspect something out of the ordinary is afoot. He uncovers a series of church basement AA-type meetings made up of the slain innocents and a new way of looking at life, death, murder—and missed opportunities—is revealed to him. A Guide for Murdered Children is a genre-busting, mind-bending twist on the fine line between the ordinary . . . and the unfathomable.
