Most theologies suck.
They're too technical or they describe a God nobody understands. Sometimes the God portrayed sounds like a controlling boyfriend or absentee parent. Rather than woo or persuade, most theology books clobber readers into submission.
This book is different.
Thomas Jay Oord presents a theology that makes sense. It fits the way we live our lives and matches our deepest intuitions. To the surprise of some, it harmonizes with sacred...

I was raised to believe that there was a God and that He was a personal being. As a child, you don't really question what your parents tell you. If they say there is a jolly, three-hundred-pound man who delivers all the Christmas toys in one night on the backs of flying reindeer with one red headlight, you believe them.
When I reached adolescence, however, I challenged the picture of God that emerged from the instructions given by my parents, teachers,...

Most of us take it for granted. We just do it--whether it's trusting that the sun will come up tomorrow, that the lunch we are about to eat is not poisoned or that our religious beliefs are not ill-founded. But why should we believe any of these things? Why should anyone believe anything at all? With insight and humor, James W. Sire examines the reasons people give for believing what they do and suggests what are truly satisfying and compelling reasons...

A Classic Essay on Penal Substitutionary Atonement from Theologian J. I. Packer
Penal substitutionary atonement-the belief that Jesus's death on the cross satisfied God's wrath against sin-is central to the Christian faith, but frequently debated. Is it just to punish an innocent person in place of the guilty? How can the temporary death of one substitute for the eternal death of many? Why doesn't the cross grant Christians...

"Are you sure you want to be filled with a Spirit who, though He is like Jesus in His gentleness and love, will nevertheless demand to be Lord of your life?" A. W. Tozer
The great tragedy of the human race is that sin has fallen headlong from the mighty purpose that God had created us for.
In His mercy, God has provided His followers with a Helper, the Holy Spirit. The role of the Spirit is abysmally overlooked in our churches today.
In Relying on...

This seminal work by Tim Chester shows us how we can enjoy God in every moment of every day, whether we are experiencing good times or hard times; whether we are changing diapers, or stuck...

Most reasonably informed Christians are well aware that many of the traditions that surround the Christmas holidays have pagan origins and very little correlation with the actual events as recorded in the Bible. However, most of us are surprised when we discover that some of what we have been taught about Easter is not only in error, but deliberately so!

Jesus said, "You must be born again." This book seeks to show the reader that 'new life' is new in quality and capacity not just new in time and that a sixth need, blessedness, should be added to William Glasser's Choice Theory so that a more complete view of human functioning can be understood. The human soul needs a 'felt' relationship with God, through Jesus Christ, in order to function as God designed it. Blessedness is a real human need. Thomas...

Others are making astonishing predictions. What does the Bible really say? Eschatology (the study of "Last Things") is among the most challenging avenues of study, even for the most sophisticated.

Discover the magnitude of God's grace and how it can impact your life! Grace is one of the most phenomenal, yet least understood, gifts we receive from God. Grace does more than just allow you to be forgiven of your sin – it empowers you to overcome sin! To many, grace is just a doctrine, a spiritual concept. But as you will discover in reading this book, grace is so much more. Grace is unreasonable; it is so miraculous that we cannot make sense...
