Directionally Challenged

How to Find and Follow God's Course for Your Life

By: Travis Collins

Does trying to follow God’s call in your life leave you feeling directionally challenged? God rarely tells us where He’s taking us or exactly how to get there. Instead, like a compass, He points us in the general direction we are to go. In Directionally Challenged, trusted pastor Travis Collins helps Christians discern God’s compass for their lives. Collins offers help to Christians who have gotten sidetracked and encouragement for those whose priorities have been overturned and life’s callings set aside. In his warm and engaging way, Collins provides sound, biblical teaching on finding the courage, conviction, and character needed to discern and live God’s call.

Weapons Upon Her Body

The Female Heroic in the Hebrew Bible

By: Sandra Ladick Collins

The biblical stories of Lot’s daughters, Tamar, Ruth and Bathsheba, share much in common – singular women who are left to rely upon their own wits to achieve some measure of victory over the men around them. Scholarly interpretation of these women often reduces them to mere stock characters who inform civic notions about Israel, the perennial underdog who, like these women, achieves against great odds. Or, they reflect the trickery and moral ambiguity inherent in their line as ancestresses of the House of David. However, when read for their gender information (and not for what they can tell readers about Israel), one finds women who employ strategies of deception and trickery, motivated by individual self-interest, in order to successfully maneuver within the system to their benefit. Such initiative can be seen as valorous: they save themselves through their own pluck and ingenuity. Thus, a close consideration of these stories finds that heroic biblical women carry their essential weapons upon and within themselves in their drive, their resolve and their cleverness. Using methods from biblical study as well as folklore, this study identifies biblical women motivated by self-interest coupled with deception and an incidence of the “bedtrick,” an instance of sexual trickery that challenges the text’s power and gender dynamics. This identification puts Lot’s daughters, Tamar, Ruth and Bathsheba, in league with female heroes from folk tale and legend. By contrasting and comparing common motifs and actions with traits established by other non-biblical female heroic narratives, strong heroic themes are located in all four narratives. This offers a dynamic argument for identifying the female biblical heroic. This work concludes that this new identification of heroic women in the Bible profoundly affects further interpretation of the Bible.

Jesus, the Sabbath and the Jewish Debate

Healing on the Sabbath in the 1st and 2nd Centuries CE

By: Nina L. Collins

The claim that Jesus was criticised by the Pharisees for performing cures on the Sabbath has been continuously repeated for almost 2,000 years. But a meticulous, unprejudiced evaluation of the relevant gospel texts shows that the historical Jesus was never criticised by historical Pharisees for performing Sabbath cures. In fact, Jesus and the Pharisees were in complete agreement for the need for cures on the Sabbath day. It is also clear that the Sabbath healing events in the gospels have preserved a significant part of the history of the early Jewish debate which sought to resolve the apparent conflict between the demands of Jewish law, and the performance of deeds of healing and/or saving life. This debate, from its Maccabean origins through to the end of the second century CE, is the subject of this book. The story of the debate has escaped the attention of historians partly because it relies on the evidence of both the early postbiblical Jewish texts and the Christian gospels, which are not generally studied together.

Glioblastoma, Grief and Grace

A Memoir of Our Three Close Family Members with Glioblastoma

By: Marcia Collins Jackson

Glioblastoma, Grief and Grace is a story about three wonderful human beings -- all beloved family members -- who died from Glioblastoma (GBM), an aggressive form of malignant brain cancer. Marcia Jackson worked nine years as a registered nurse when her mother-in-law was the first in her family to be diagnosed with GBM. She was not familiar with this type of brain tumor except that it was considered very rare. But then her own mother was diagnosed with the same "rare" disease nine years later. Shocked and devastated by both their mothers suffering and dying from GBM, Jackson and her husband, David, searched for answers. Attending physicians assured them the disease could not be inherited, and the fact that it happened twice in the same family could only be explained as a fluke -- especially since the two women were not biologically related. Then in 2017, Jackson's husband of 41 years was diagnosed with the same deadly disease. Since his death, Jackson has tried to find a common thread that could connect all three of her loved ones, such as exposure to second-hand smoke and other chemicals. However, the causal explanations continue to elude her.By sharing her family's story in Glioblastoma, Grief and Grace, she offers encouragement to those who are experiencing similar situations with terminal illnesses.

Blessed Are the Meek, the Humble, and the Bold

Memoir of a Remarkable Life Journey

By: Elsie M. Collins

Elsie Collins is not your normal, everyday college professor in America. In her youth, she started out as Kissia descendent of African slaves, living in Wilsons Mill, North Carolina. Her upbringing brought her face-to-face with racism and discrimination, both subtly and overtly. The lines dividing black and white fascinated young Kissi; as she grew up, she decided to take a deeper look at race relations, nationwide. Blessed Are the Meek, the Humble, and the Bold is the memoir of Dr. Elsie Collins, a woman who spent nearly three-quarters of the twentieth century cutting through the color divide. Although she met with many challenges, Elsie never gave up on goals she had set for herself and her community. She never gave up on building strong relationships across lines of class, race, and culture. Elsie Collins has inspired hundreds on her long journey to personal freedom and success, from small towns in North Carolina to the big city of New York. Through the acquisition of knowledge, friendship, wisdom, she developed the judgment to discern when to be humble and when to be bold. Her story is a snapshot of race relations in America and a commentary on the insignificance of skin color in human relationships and in the search for the meaning of life.

The Shieling

A novel

By: Michael J. Collins

When young surgeon David Carroll suspects that the mysterious buyers who want to purchase his group’s medical practice are Russian mobsters, he decides to take a stand against them. This decision takes a disastrous turn when the mobsters attack his home, killing his wife and the three FBI agents assigned to protect them. David, although wounded, survives, but is now a prime suspect and is forced to flee. Hunted by the FBI and the Russian mob, David escapes to the one place where he thinks no one will ever find him—a remote shieling or shepherd’s hut in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. As he struggles to survive in the harsh wilderness, David’s refuge is invaded by Catriona Gordon, a young anthropology student who has come to research old shielings. Resentful of each other’s presence, little do either of them realize how Catriona’s deep dive into history will bring the catastrophic events of David’s own past roaring back into the present.

But Brandi’s body is discovered the next morning drowned in the ocean and David Miller, a single father struggling to raise two teenagers since his wife Mary’s cancer death, realizes a boy, Joey Young, may have been involved in this young girl’s death. Then David’s daughter, Adele, asks to date him!

The Goldilocks God

Searching for the via media

By: Guy Collins

The Goldilocks God: Searching for the via media explores the fertile middle ground between toxic Christianity and militant atheism. Can Christianity be intellectually credible? Why do our past failures and breakages offer comfort and hope? How does the via media of Anglicanism offer tactics for dealing with contemporary challenges and uncertainties? Whether exploring mystic Hildegard von Bingen, strategic thinker Queen Elizabeth, or theologians Jean-Luc Marion and Sarah Coakley, readers venture into a Trinitarian Goldilocks zone of faith, hope, and love. Guy Collins makes a creative and heartfelt case for a “spiritual thermodynamics” of trial and error, promise and glory. Illuminating ancient Christian practice with cutting-edge philosophy and theology, he reveals the lifelong habits that are “just right” for encountering the mystery of God.
