Solo Planet : How Singles Help The Church Recover Our Calling
$17.99
How can the church do better for its millions of singles? Journalist Anna Broadway traveled around the world to interview nearly 350 Christians for answers.
Solo Planet draws on her 17 months of fieldwork to provide a first-of-its-kind account of the single life of Christians from nearly 50 countries. Discussing a variety of topics-loneliness, sexuality, aging, housing, cooking, celebrations, parenting, and many more, it gives us the global-church story of singleness. Because when singles thrive in a church, everyone benefits. But consider these typical barriers within most churches:
*Singles and marrieds often don’t know how to talk to each other.
*Christians continue to act as if nearly all will marry-and if you don’t, then something must be wrong with you.
*Churches teach that marriage and family is God’s greatest gift outside of salvation-a perspective that deserves theological challenge.
*Women in the church outnumber men by a factor of millions-and churches do very little to acknowledge this gap.
Solo Planet calls Christians to a more faithful vision of singleness through the wisdom and stories of the global church: young and old; abled and disabled; and Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox. Through its deeply researched account, Solo Planet shows how a more biblical approach to singleness can strengthen churches and empower singles to thrive.

Israel In The New Testament
$14.99Add to cartThose who believe what the Bible teaches about God’s plans and purposes for the people and place of Israel are often accused of giving more time and attention to the Old Testament than the New, and there is some truth in this. Over 80% of the promises and prophecies of the Old Testament have been literally fulfilled. It is a simple matter of faith in God’s faithfulness to believe that he means what he says, and will do what he says he will do. This exciting new study reveals that both the people and the place called ‘Israel’ have a significant role in God’s future plans for world redemption. Five books of the New Testament are used here to illustrate this important truth.
