understand the original message of the Scripture and its meaning for today.
Sunday school teachers, Bible study leaders, and other persons interested in
careful Bible study will find the explanatory essays for each section of
Scripture helpful.
Two focused articles at the end of each chapter, The Text in biblical
Context and The Text in the Life of the Church, are unique
features of the series.
Especially in the latter, believers church perspectives come through clearly.
These include believers baptism, commitment to the Rule of Christ (Matthew
18:15-20) as central to church membership, belief in the power of love in all
relationships, and a willingness to follow the way of the cross of Christ.
The series is based on the conviction that God still speaks to all who
will listen, and that the Holy Spirit makes the Word a living and
authoritative guide for all who want to know and do God's will. | Details... |

| With billions of dollars spent annually to educate children and youth, education is at the forefront of the news today. John D. Roth makes the case for a church-related alternative to the public school system-one shaped by the distinctive emphases of the Anabaptist-Mennonite tradition. Teaching That Transforms outlines a pedagogy that is consciously attentive to God's presence in the world, and that cultivates habits of worship, nurtures living traditions, and promotes caring and compassionate relationships. Roth offers an open, lively, vigorous, and honest conversation about the nature of our Christian witness to the world and about the future of the church. Copyright 2011 Herald Press | |

Theology
| We all are sexual beings, all of our lives, and relate to each
other sexually all the time. God marvelously made us this way. Big business makes big money selling a phony notion of what we want and need as sexual people. Ads insist that certain products will make us more sexually appealing. But what we really want and need is true intimacyÑthe knowledge that we matter to another person and are loved for who we are. Using the metaphor of sexuality as a good gift from God, this second edition offers Christians resources for living a sexually healthy and fulfilling life. The editor presents valuable material she and several colleagues have developed on sexuality from Christian perspectives. Copyright 2010 Herald Press | |

Related Items Community
| The conversation about education recorded in Anabaptist Ways
of Knowing grows out of a concern that practices which shaped
faith communities in the past are rapidly being discarded and replaced
in a haphazard, unexamined way. Shenk contends that by revitalizing
core practices and the powerful substratum of knowledge they provide,
educational endeavors can renew the wellspring of community life.
Here is a resource for any who care about the recovery of faith-
based educational practices that are part of a church-school-family
ecology. Shenk's aim is to present a strong rationale for tradition-
based, critical education that incorporates core practices for
strengthening faith communities into its theorizing. The book offers a
viable proposal for the Anabaptist-Mennonite faith community often
featured in the discussion. And it serves as a model for reflecting on
educational theory from any particular Christian tradition.

| How do we relate to others when we are in conflict with them?
For many, the solution is to walk away, or pretend there is no problem.
Others feel the only way is through aggressive behavior. But the best

processes that lead to win-win outcomes. Let's Talk,a
complete revision of the 1983 title, Communication Skills and
Conflict Resolution, is a tool to get Christians thinking,
talking, and living out effective skills in interpersonal
communication, transforming conflict into growth. As a workbook for
group study, Let's Talk includes a personal inventory on our
conflict management styles, discussion guides, personal reflection
exercises, role plays for active listening and appropriate speaking,
and much more. A leader's guide is also included at the back.
