  Words Of Wisdom

  $13.99

  Dr. Billy Graham says in the Words of Wisdom foreword, “The Psalms tell us how to get along with God, and the Proverbs tell us how to get along with our fellow man.” As has long been Dr. Graham’s personal practice, Words of Wisdom makes it easy for anyone to read five Psalms and a chapter from Proverbs each day for 31 days. This beautiful LeatherLike gift edition offers a convenient, easy-to-understand, and enjoyable way to discover how these ancient words deliver valuable life principles. King David wrote many of the Psalms, often with the passion of a worshiper and the anxiety of a 21st-century person, while dealing with everyday tensions. His son Solomon, largely known for his wisdom, wrote the wisdom literature of the Proverbs. In these nearly 3,000-year-old sacred writings, we hear the voices and counsel of those who knew God intimately. Let Words of Wisdom encourage you with divine hope and affirmation for living the life God has planned for you.

  Clericalism : The Death Of Priesthood

  $21.95

  Searching for answers in the midst of the sexual abuse crisis in the church, many blamed the “clerical culture.” But what exactly is this clerical culture? We may know it when we see it, but how can we–whether clergy or laypeople–go about dismantling it and putting in place a new, healthy culture? George Wilson has spent decades working with organizations to help them discover, and often recover, their foundational calling. He is also a Jesuit priest engaged in the lives of congregations. In Clericalism: The Death of Priesthood he brings together both capacities and gives his sense of the challenges facing the church. As members of the church, Wilson maintains, we are all responsible for creating a clerical culture. And we are also responsible for that culture’s transformation. Clericalism aids this transformation by helping us examine some underlying attitudes that create and preserve destructive relationships between ordained and laity. After looking at the crisis and establishing where we are now, this book challenges us with concrete suggestions for changing behaviors. We are lay and ordained, but all baptized into the royal priesthood of 1 Peter 2: 9, all called to spread the Gospel and do the work of God’s love in the world. Ultimately, this is a hopeful book, looking for the restoration of a genuine priesthood, free of clericalism, in which we become truly united in Christ.
