Statistics And Faith
$26.99Bringing Integrity to the Stories Numbers Tell
When we tell stories with numbers, we depend on the field of statistics-but how do we know that those stories are true? Almost everything in life is connected to data, and that data can help us make sense of truth in a world that feels increasingly challenging to navigate as Christians.
But in a world where we are told to “do our own research,” it can be nearly impossible to know whether we’re just gravitating toward stories that confirm our own untested biases, or whether we’re analyzing the data in a way that is illuminating truth.
Exploring a range of contemporary topics, professor of statistics Jason Wilson shows both non-experts and experts alike that statistics has something to say when it relates to the polarizing issues that we face today. Exploring topics such as gambling, Covid, and media bias, Wilson shows that the ways we collect, organize, analyze, and interpret data have something to say in conversation with the Christian faith.
In Statistics and Faith, you’ll find:
*examinations of contemporary issues using statistical concepts, tools, and theories;
*case studies from history that show how statistics can be used in ways that are helpful or harmful;
*application chapters based on over fifteen years of research; and
*reflection questions to help you explore how to do statistics with integrity.
This book is ideal for professors seeking to help students explore the history and application of statistics from a Christian worldview as well as for Christians who are curious about how we understand truth through numbers. It serves as an ideal supplementary text for statistics courses and other disciplines that incorporate statistical methods, and it offers an insightful perspective on how statistics in conversation with Christian faith can speak to today’s polarizing issues, empowering readers to discern truth through data in a noisy world.

Created To Play
$18.99What If You Saw Your Hobbies as a Form of Worship?
Maybe you’re an athlete or collector, a chef or film critic, a painter or video gamer. Your hobbies aren’t arbitrary passions. The same God who formed your muscles and nervous system also formed the specific ways you love to play. He understands the delight you feel in your garden or your excitement as you open up a new board game. And he calls it good.
We often view play as a distraction from life’s serious responsibilities, but in Created to Play, Brianna Lambert reveals the ways God blesses your hobbies and uses them to form and pull you into worship. Lambert explores ten different titles you may inhabit in your play: Beholder, Curator, Maker, Herald, Restorer, Connecter, Nourisher, Mover, Caretaker, and Historian.
This book helps you view your hobbies as opportunities not just for individual expression but also for communal enjoyment. With winsome practicality and theological reflection, Lambert draws you to glory in the God who loves and teaches you through play.
With Created to Play, you will:
*Explore how hobbies shape your spiritual formation, offering a fresh perspective on the theology of hobbies and leisure.
*Identify yourself among ten unique roles we take on through hobbies, uncovering how play shapes your identity in Christ.
*Learn to embrace rest and joy through hobbies, reenvisioning leisure as life-giving rather than wasteful.
*Challenge your guilt around play by learning how hobbies can form you spiritually, draw you into worship, and help you reflect God’s character.
You can experience how God is already participating in your hobbies with you, sharing in the joy they bring. If you are seeking a biblical perspective on your hobbies or struggling to enjoy leisure amid the demands of a busy life, this book can help you reclaim play as a vital part of spiritual formation.
Play isn’t about what you get or achieve but about who you become in the process.

Christ And Covenant In Global Politics
$29.99A New Perspective for Biblical Justice in International Relations
Practicing a Christian vision of justice as a citizen in one’s own country is difficult enough. Add on the challenge of establishing and living out a Christian ethic among states, where there may be few established norms and shared values, and you have the gargantuan task of doing international relations.
Does Christianity have anything to say about global justice for modern nation-states? Can we look to the biblical vision for help with the complex problems of a globalized world? Robert Joustra answers with a resounding yes.
Christ and Covenant in Global Politics casts a compelling vision for a Christian approach to international relations that seeks to transform global politics from systems driven by fear to covenantal global community based in shared loves, drawing on Augustine’s understanding of rightly ordered loves and a contemporary Christian notion of covenantal pluralism. This groundbreaking textbook is designed for professors and students of international relations, offering a unique, faith-driven approach to global politics.
In Christ and Covenant in Global Politics, Joustra
*introduces international relations through a distinctly Christian lens;
*demonstrates how the Christian worldview can positively shape international politics;
*equips students to thoughtfully engage with pluralism and multiculturalism in international politics; and
*moves beyond discussions of biblical justice within states toward discussions of biblical justice between and among states.
Christ and Covenant in Global Politics is a first-of-its-kind work that provides a comprehensive introduction to the state of international relations theory today as well as a constructive account of a truly Christian vision for global politics. Joustra provides a systematic treatment of introductory political theology of world politics, then applies that foundation to key issues in the international system: diplomacy, war, political economy, and climate. Ideal for the undergraduate level, this book is a gift to those who to want to learn to love their neighbor on the global stage.

Unseen Existences : Of Heaven, Earth, And The Divine Mystery In All Things
$24.99Heaven: Why It Matters Here and Now
Have we forgotten heaven?
Bestselling author and pastor Brian Zahnd invites us to remember heaven, to experience and embrace the divine mystery of the spiritual realm in this lifetime. This slow and steady progression of a deeper Christian faith that draws us nearer to God-a “pilgrimage of the soul”-fosters in us a love for both the heavenly and the earthly.
For too long, the conversation about heaven has been caught between two extremes. On one hand, there is the shallow “escapist” theology that reduces salvation to a reservation for the afterlife, unconcerned with God’s good earth or issues of justice in the world.
On the other hand, many of us have overcorrected, hyperfocusing on the here and now and losing sight of the spiritual reality beyond-a fatal mistake if our Christianity is to have a compelling message in the twenty-first century. Our faith must once again speak confidently and humbly about the reality of the spiritual world-the reality of unseen existences.
In Unseen Existences, you’ll find
a fresh way of looking at heaven that pushes back against extremes,
a vision for life as a pilgrimage to our true home in heaven and union with God, and
encouragement to persevere through the injustices of this world with hope.
Unseen Existences will help you renew your faith, expand your perspective, and re-embrace the divine mystery of heaven. Though life can be uncertain and unjust, our pilgrimage is preparing us for the world to come, where we will see Christ face-to-face. With the company of our Helper, Advocate, and Comforter, we press on, trusting he will lead us home.

War Of Worldviews
$19.99Our culture is obsessed with safety and self. We are constantly assessing risks, prioritizing tasks, and categorizing people. We seek out security, efficiency, and comfort and avoid uncertainty, wasted time, and distress. We crave the known, the quantifiable, the safe. We resent people who interrupt us, challenge us, or need something from us. Ironically, the result of this mindset is always conflict. And in the midst of keeping everything on track, we miss God’s mind-transforming, life-altering, world-changing invitations to trust him fully, connect with others, and experience the freedom he made us for. Through nail-biting true stories of hearing, resisting, and ultimately giving in to God’s counterintuitive leadings in his life, former police officer and counterterrorism specialist Jamie Winship keeps you on the edge of your seat. He shows you how to see the world through God’s lens, stop resisting God’s promptings, embrace the unexpected, and live from a place of abundant, self-emptying love–even for your enemies.The result? Less stress, conflict, and separation, and more love, peace, and connection. And who doesn’t want that?
