DICTIONARY OF DAILY LIFE IN BIBLICAL AND POST-BIBLICAL ANTIQUITYVol. 2 De – MaBY EDWIN M. YAMAUCHI & MARVIN R. WILSON


For people in the workplace, there is a great deal to learn from Joseph in the book of Genesis. He spent time both at the top and at the bottom—as a leader and as a slave in Egypt. In this new book about faith and work, author Albert M. Erisman shares lessons learned from the frontlines of business, government, and education, and how they connect to Joseph’s life. Through the author’s own work experiences and interviews with business leaders across the world, you’ll learn that Joseph dealt with issues that are still common in the business world today. Studying his life can offer guidance and encouragement in any workplace.

Albert M. (Al) Erisman is the executive in residence and past director for the Center for Integrity in Business at Seattle Pacific University. He teaches business ethics and business and technology both at the undergraduate and the graduate level, and is also co-teaching a doctor of ministry cohort at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary on the theology of work. Al is co-founder and executive editor of Ethix magazine (www.ethix.org), the co-author of several books in technology and mathematics, and co-chair of the executive committee for the Theology of Work Project.

THE ACCIDENTAL EXECUTIVELessons on Business, Faith, and Calling from the Life of JosephBY ALBERT M. ERISMAN


God intends for everyone to thrive economically. He wants us to find provision (supply of what we need) for our daily life. He also desires for us to enjoy the abundance (wealth) of his generosity. However, we live and work in a world where some live extravagantly and have enormous wealth, while many others struggle to scratch out a living, going without even the basic necessities. Questions and concerns about God’s role in our provision and wealth weigh heavily on almost every Christian’s mind—whether we are rich or poor, an employee or employer, a student, parent, or retiree, a homeowner, tenant, or homeless person. Fortunately, this concern for the economic sphere of our lives is matched by the priority it is given in Scripture. Provision and wealth are far from peripheral issues in the Bible and feature prominently through both Old and New Testaments.

In this study, we will explore what God’s word has to say about:

• God’s original intentions for our economic well-being• The effects of the Great Rebellion on our capacity to flourish• God’s response in redeeming the economic sphere and our part in this• How we should treat any wealth we possess• What we can reasonably expect from God in regard to our provision

Target audience: Both white-collar and blue-collar professionals; globally and gender diverse; pastors, professors, professionals and laypeople; anyone who works in any capacity.

GROWING A STRONG MARRIAGEVOL. 3 STAYING CONNECTEDStudy Guide by AMY MCGOWAN


“It was not for her to criticize the ways of Almighty God; if He liked to go to all that trouble over the snowflakes, millions and millions of them, their intricate patterns too small to be seen by human eyes, and melting as soon as made, that was His affair and not hers. All she could do about it was to catch in her window, and save from entire waste, as much of the squandered beauty as she could.” —Elizabeth Goudge, The Rosemary Tree

In the raw aftermath of World War II, this is the story of the Wentworth family. It is the story of John Wentworth—vicar of a church in Devon, England—and his wife Daphne, who feels trapped in the vicarage. While John’s great aunt lives in the dilapidated family manor house, their three daughters attend a dysfunctional school, captive among embattled staff and their headmistress. It is only Harriet, John’s aging former nanny, who holds the family together through her love and empathy. But when Michael Stone returns to town, recently released from prison and now searching for his former love, Daphne, he is a disruption to the lives of all—including his own—helping to free them from their prisons, both physical and metaphorical.

Elizabeth Goudge (1900–1984) was a British novelist born into the home of an Anglican priest and theologian. She wrote children’s books as well as novels—her Green Dolphin Street was made into a 1947 Academy-Award winning film starring Lana Turner, Van Heflin, and Donna Reed. In style and themes she parallels English writers such as the creator of the Miss Read series, as well mirroring the spiritual depth found in George MacDonald’s Victorian novels. A Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature, she won the Carnegie Award in 1947 for The Little White Horse, which is J. K. Rowling’s favorite children’s book.

THE ROSEMARY TREEBY ELIZABETH GOUDGE


“One was born a certain sort of person, and though by ceaseless struggle one might become as nice as that sort of person ever is, one could never become as nice as a nicer sort of person.” —Elizabeth Goudge, Towers in the Mist

It is late sixteenth-century London when awkward teenage Faithful travels to Oxford to study in England’s great university. When Canon Leigh takes him in, Faithful enters into a family as exciting and educational as the university itself.

Woven into the narratives of Faithful and the canon’s daughter Joyeuce is Oxford during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I with the pomp and sordidness of the spectacular era of England’s Golden Age. Not only a historical journey, Towers in the Mist is also a coming-of-age tale of young love and hope.

TOWERS IN THE MISTBY ELIZABETH GOUDGE


We have amazing power and strength at our fingertips through understanding and applying God’s word to our lives. This discipline looks at the prayerful deliberation of and digging into the Scriptures in more than just a cursory read.

“Being a devoted listener to Bible teaching and preaching means more than passively absorbing what we hear. Devout listeners know that Chris is present and that what we hear could change our lives. That said, it also means that we listen with critical, curious ears, eager to learn and discover more. And it means that we also keep our eyes toward Christ and our ears tuned to what the Holy Spirit might want to convict us on or challenge us with.”–Caryn Rivadeneira, “Devoted Listening to Scripture”

The twenty-four spiritual practices in this series are Acceptance, Bible Study & Meditation, Celebration, Community, Confession, Contemplation, Faith, Fasting, Forgiveness, Gratitude, Hospitality, Justice, Mentoring, Outreach, Prayer, Reconciliation, Sabbath Rest, Service, Silence, Simplicity, Solitude, Stewardship, Submission, and Worship.

Target audience: Women’s Bible study groups; small groups; church ministries; individuals

Since the days he shook the pulpits of Victorian London withChrist-centered passion, each succeeding generation seems to discover Charles Spurgeon anew. Featuring stirring sermons on the love of Christ, this collection offers homiletic gems from the “Prince of Preachers.” In sermons as timeless as their topics, Spurgeon combines keen intellect, scriptural truth, and a zeal for making God known to a world in darkness.

Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834–1892) was Victorian England’s most gifted pastor. Ordained at age twenty, just four years after his conversion, Spurgeon opened his career of spectacularly effective preaching at London’s New Park Street Chapel. Even in his own time, Spurgeon’s printed sermons—there were nearly 3,600 of them—were prized by fellow preachers for their ideal homiletic models, and by ordinary believers for their deeply devotional encouragement to follow Christ.

Target audience: Those interested in theology; pastors andlaypeople, parishioners, preachers, and believers in the pew.

SERMONS ON THE HOLY SPIRITBY CHARLES SPURGEON


James Hudson Taylor (1832-1905) was a Christian missionary to China and founder of the China Inland Mission (renamed Overseas Missionary Fellowship). He served there for 51 years, bringing over 800 missionaries to the country and personally baptizing an estimated 50,000 converts. He was famous for his commitment to cultural sensitivity, and has been referred to as one of the most significant figures in the history of China in the nineteenth century.

This is the classic biography written by his son Howard and daughter-in-law Geraldine, who also served as missionaries to China. It is the inspiring story of Taylor’s uncovering of the spiritual secret that paved the way for the China Inland Mission to become a reality.

This classic title has sold hundreds of thousands of copies since its original publication in 1932. Hendrickson introduces a lovely edition, re-typeset and redesigned, a perfect gift for anyone who wants to replace the old paperback or who is encountering Hudson Taylor’s Spiritual Secret for the first time.

Have you been skipping over references to time in the Bible because they seem too confusing? Professor Jack Finegan’s Handbook of Biblical Chronology clarifies those ancient systems of time reckoning and the biblical passages that use them.

Part 1, Principles of Chronology in the Ancient World, describes the origins of basic units of time and surveys the calendars used in the Ancient Near East through the Roman era. Part 2, Problems of Chronology in the Bible, discusses major periods of the Old Testament, as well as the lives of Jesus, John the Baptist, and the Apostles Peter and Paul.

Jack Finegan (1908-2000) was an American biblical scholar, and Professor Emeritus of New Testament History and Archaeology at the Pacific School of Religion in Berkeley, California. His long list of publications includes Light from the Ancient Past and a number of volumes on biblical archaeology.
