Christian Living
“Rod cuts to the chase in this book and critiques the cult of fads because it has had an insidious influence upon the church for a good while and the church needs to be very cautious about false teaching. The core of the problem is that fads are superficial and make empty promises they cannot begin to deliver; fads are often driven by financial motives, and in the end they de facto encourage a life of carnality (stroking one’s ego). Rod substantially critiques all of these errors. This topic has sobering implications for serious discipleship in following Jesus and is a much-needed word for today.”
History & Biography
“The tragic crash of the Marshall University football team caught the attention of the nation and much has been written and filmed about it, but no one has done what Mark Coppenger is uniquely qualified to do and that is to explore the spiritual context and effect of that fatal plane crash. The volume covers nearly two centuries of spiritual highs and lows in the life of this state university and the people that played significant roles in the process. Coppenger deftly covers the work of the Spirit of God through the lives of very interesting, sometimes quirky people, but all with the loving passion of proclaiming Jesus in this institution. People have heard about the Marshall Revival, but Coppenger puts it in the context of the long-term work of God in that place. It’s an encouraging read about the modern activity of the Holy Spirit.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“This a book on the edge, by a priest on the edge. The Paso del Norte bridge at the US-Mexico border is both a physical structure and a moral faultline. In The Asylum Seekers, Cristina Rathbone submits herself, body and soul, to the teaching of the people who most clearly see its double nature: the powerless, the victimized, the dispossessed and exploited. With a style that clicks like a Geiger counter at the approach of primary reality, Rathbone crosses frontier after frontier of understanding.”
