Praying through Scripture: A Sacred Dialogue

By

Prayer and Scripture are not just two separate spiritual disciplines; they are deeply intertwined. The Bible is God’s school for prayer. And prayer keeps our hearts soft before the Word. We need prayer to truly understand Scripture, as only the Spirit can open our hearts to its beauty and power. Without both, our spiritual lives become dry—Scripture without prayer is cold and intellectual, while prayer without Scripture lacks depth and direction. This book is an invitation to approach God in both Word and prayer, seeing them as inseparable elements of a thriving faith. As you learn to pray the Bible and read with a posture of dependence, may you be drawn into a richer, more intimate relationship with Christ.

Psychology and Spiritual Formation in Dialogue: Moral and Spiritual Change in Christian Perspective

By

Can the phenomena of the human mind be separated from the practices of spiritual formation—of growing to have the mind of Christ? Research into the nature of moral and spiritual change has revived in recent years in the worlds of psychology on one hand and theology and philosophy on the other. But psychology and spiritual formation draw upon distinct bodies of research and theory grounded in different methodologies, resulting in conversation that has suffered from a lack of interdisciplinary cross-pollination. Rooted in a year-long discussion held by Biola University’s Center for Christian Thought (CCT), this volume bridges the gaps caused by professional specialization among psychology, theology, and philosophy. Each essay was forged out of an integrative discussion among theologians, psychologists, philosophers, New Testament scholars, educators, and pastors around the CCT seminar table. Topics that emerged included relational and developmental spirituality, moral virtue and judgment, and suffering and trauma. Psychology and Spiritual Formation in Dialogue speaks across disciplinary divides, fostering fruitful conversation for fresh insights into the nature and dynamics of personal spiritual change.

While these classics have been a source of life-changing renewal for many, still others are wary of these texts and the foreign theological traditions from which they come. The essays in this volume provide a guide for evangelicals to read the Christian spiritual classics.

Sanctified by Grace: A Theology of the Christian Life

By

Books on the Christian life abound. Some focus on spirituality, others on practices, and others still on doctrines such as justification or forgiveness. Few offer an account of the Christian life that portrays redeemed Christian existence within the multifaceted and beautiful whole of the Christian confession. This book attempts to fill that gap. It provides a constructive, specifically theological interpretation of the Christian life according to the nature of God’s grace. Drawing together some of the most important theologians in the church today, Sanctified by Grace achieves what no other theological text offers – a shared work of dogmatic theology oriented to redeemed Christian existence.

Set Adrift: Deconstructing What You Believe Without Sinking Your Faith

Each chapter provides practical advice on how to disassemble, rethink, and reassemble beliefs that are truly Christian and culturally and personally relevant. The authors of this book can personally identify with the process of disillusionment that many young believers go through. They wrote Set Adrift as people who had to navigate their own way back through the fog of deconstruction. They wrote it to offer their own personal suggestions for what to do when you’re not sure what to believe anymore.
