In an era of seemingly endless war, and similarly endless debates about the nature of marriage, Through with Kings and Armies offers a fresh look at what both war and marriage might mean for Christians. This is a love story: the tale of a sixty-three-year marriage grounded in the love of Jesus Christ and shaped by the conviction that his disciples must witness publicly to their faith in him. As a Presbyterian ministerial student in 1941, George Edwards renounced a draft deferment to register as a conscientious objector, serving at home and abroad for five years. Jean, his childhood friend, turned against war when the Battle of the Bulge left her a widow at twenty-three. After George and Jean fell in love overnight at the end of the war, their pacifist beliefs became the foundation for their life together. A pastor and biblical scholar yoked to a Christian educator, their gifts complemented each other as they organized communities of witnesses against war and racial violence, while raising three children and remaining active in the church that rarely supported their witness.

KINGDOM LIFE ___________________________________________ There is more! For those of you who have been longing for more in your personal walk with Jesus, wondering what you are missing, knowing there must be more––there is! The present truth now being made clear to the body of Christ is that God's purpose has always been for His kingdom to be released on this earth through His multi-membered body, the church.

In The Third Gender, McDaniel addresses the idea of the "third gender" in early hagiography and Latin treatises on virginity and then examines Aelfric's treatment of gender in his translations of Latin monastic Lives for his non-monastic audiences. She first investigates patristic ideas about a "third gender" by describing this concept within the theoretical frameworks of monasticism and then turns to creating a historical and theological cultural context within which to locate an interpretation of Aelfric's portrayals of male and female saints.
Of all the animals in Gods creation, He chose the weakest, most small-minded, timid, and defenseless to characterize us, His children. Yet He calls us, His sheep, to be the victorious conquerors of the earth, to stand in boldness against the rulers of this world and to overcome it. How can such defenseless creatures ever even stand a chance? The answer is that we dont. Our only chance at victory is the follow the One who has already defeated this world. If the LORD is my shepherd, do I truly want to follow Him, or am I expecting Him to follow me? What does it mean to be truly shepherded by Him? That seems so scary and uncertain. It means I must give up my right to myself and allow Him to lead me where He thinks I should go. It means that this you must become His ewe. If you sense the Shepherds voice calling out to you, come and follow me, and yet you are not sure where to start or how, this study is for you. We will learn what it truly means to follow the Great Shepherd through this five-week journey from you to ewe. Video sessions available at no cost at www.BecomingEwe.com.

The book of Revelation is almost certainly the most controversial book of the Bible. Some believe the prophesies contained in the book can never be understood; they are a mystery that cannot be revealed and the reading of Revelation is therefore a waste of time. Many believe that the book tells of the coming tribulations that our generation or one of the succeeding ones will face, that the rapture will yet take place and that the millenium has not yet begun. Then there are those who fall in between the two extremes, saying that we are in the millenium, or that the rapture has already occurred; that the prophecies have all been fulfilled or that some have been and some are yet to be.

Have you ever noticed that particular images, such as “bread” or “breath” seem to recur throughout the Bible? The more you read the Bible, the more you hear these echoes. Windows to the Word explores seven Biblical metaphors, based on the “I am the . . .” sayings in John’s Gospel : I am the bread of life. I am the light of the world. I am the gate for the sheep. I am the good shepherd. I am the resurrection and the life. I am the way, the truth, and the life. I am the vine. When compared to the full scope of scripture, we find that these metaphors have long been used to explain the mystery of the Divine. Windows to the Word will provide structure and insights to these symbols to give you fresh perspective for your own understanding of the Divine. Two additional essays explore the great marriage metaphor that also pervades the Bible and the possibility that John’s Gospel was an early catechism, or teaching text, for Followers of the Way.
I am valor for my Valor, the King. I am strength for my Strength, the King..." A broken vow. A murdered king. A missing prince. And a villain's plot distressingly incomplete. The King's Guardsmen of Rilken are legendary for their strength, skill, and loyalty. How is it then that the king of Rilken is murdered on a forest road while surrounded by the elite Guardsmen who have sworn to give their lives to protect him? The king's death, the loss of his eldest son, and the death of the Guardsmen drive the last remaining prince into a spiral of grief and the country into confusion. The blame falls on Bevan, a Guardsman captain, and as punishment his wife and daughters are cast friendless out of the capital city. Deep in the woods, the women—observant Silvie, impulsive Rosie, and their determined mother Tara—scrape out a home for themselves. They seek to keep hidden, but surprising friends appear. So do hunters and spies, and an unearthly bear no weapon can harm. When the heartbreaking truth surrounding the king's death slowly comes to light, Silvie, Rosie, and Tara must turn to the wisdom of the Guardsmen for strength to face the foe and dare the impossible.
