Do you Work to Rest or Rest to Work?

How would you answer? 

“The workplace is the battlefield and graveyard of many a soul out of rhythm. To think properly about work, Pastor Dev would baptise us into Scripture. He seeks to dislodge us from the world of EVIL-work that we’ve been cursed into, and then invites us into the blessing of the life-giving rhythms of Sabbath rest.”

— From the Foreword by Ng Zhi-Wen, Program Executive, Singapore Centre for Global Missions

Irrevocable Gifts is a collection of personal narratives from six Creatives. That our gifts are irrevocable is both terrifying and encouraging — you never know when anxiety seizes the day. How do our gifts help us to make sense of who we are? 

The book also includes Reflection Prompts, a section personally crafted by the authors to help readers in their Creative Journey.

In the quest to speak truth to power, what should be the proper role of Christian counter-culture in the engagement amongst Scripture, human rights, justice, fairness and political systems? Be prepared for an upending of conventional views, an upsetting of traditional values, and an unseating from our comfort zones.

“These nine essays challenge our understanding of the Bible and compel us to rethink how theology should be applied in the context of the human condition. They confront the reality of everyday life, from the status of patriarchy, gender equality and egalitarianism, to mobility and employment, human trafficking and modern day slavery, to social security, land rights and the displacement of the urban poor, to community participation in decision-making and development, and to the appropriate origins, foundations and norms in the advocacy for and promotion of human rights values.

God placed you in the marketplace, so bloom where you are planted!

 This book declares: Christians have immense transformational potential in the marketplace! It explains the theology of work; addresses the Sunday-Monday and Clergy-Laity gaps; discusses the challenges faced by Christians in the marketplace and the influence they can have; and offers ways to maintain a holistic work-life balance.

This book will also enable the clergy/pastors and lay leaders to help Christians in the marketplace make sense of their work and recognize how they can influence those around them.   

The local church is like the showroom for Christianity. The marketplace is the test drive. The marketplace is where our unbelieving co-workers get to see if they really want what we have… They see how much God truly matters to us in our daily lives.

– Darren Shearer

This reader-friendly yet robust introduction to the Christian faith explores the essentials of Christianity and the impact they have on life, worldview, and witness. 

Written in an accessible and engaging voice for college-age readers, the book connects the biblical plotline, the Apostles' Creed, the comparative distinctiveness of Christianity, and life's big questions. The author shows how the Christian metanarrative speaks to questions about purpose, worth, ethics, personhood, and more, and helps readers understand what it means to be a Christian in a post-Christian world.

Your kids have great questions about God, but sometimes it can be hard to know how to answer them. Author Kathryn Slattery helps you and your kids ask and answer questions such as these: 

• How can God be three persons at the same time?
• What is the Kingdom of God?
• Is it okay if I have friends who aren't Christians?
• Can God really talk to me?
• Why does God allow evil to exist?
• Was there really a worldwide flood?
• How can I know for sure that God loves me?
• Is it okay to have doubts about God?

With respectful but kid-friendly language, geared towards ages 6 to 10, Slattery also addresses topics such as Christian traditions, the historic growth of Christianity, how to become a Christian, and what it means to be a Christ-follower in today's world. You'll appreciate the thorough research and accuracy in this wide range of theological, historical, and faith topics. Supplementary sidebars, Scriptures, and takeaways will assist young readers as they investigate the questions and answers.

Everything I Am Belongs to God!
