What God Has to Say about Our Bodies: How the Gospel is Good News for Our Physical Selves
There’s a danger in focusing too much on the body. There’s also a danger in not valuing it enough. In fact, the Bible has lots to say about the body. With the coming of Jesus, ‘The Word became flesh and dwelt among us’ - flesh that was pierced and crushed for the sins of the world. In What God Has to Say about Our Bodies, Sam Allberry explains that all of us are fearfully and wonderfully made, and should regard our physicality as a gift. He offers biblical guidance for living, including understanding gender, sexuality, and identity; dealing with ageing, illness, and death; and considering the physical future hope that we have in Christ. In this powerfully written book, you’ll gain a new understanding of the immeasurable value of our bodies and God’s ultimate plan to redeem them. Pb | 208 pgs | CROSSWAY

The World, the Flesh and the Devil: What Do We Do With Evil?
Richard Rohr Addressing the three traditional sources of evil, Rohr describes how Christianity has focused almost exclusively on the individual, flesh level, while the world and the devil basically got off scot-free for most of Christian history. To see how vital that we look beyond personal moral failings is revealed though Rohr's gripping interpretation of the teachings of Jesus and Paul. This book offers no easy solutions. We are all complicit in the social evils pervading our lives. Yet, skilfully distilling half a century of teaching and preaching, Rohr leaves us with principles for resisting evil with contemplation and love. Pb | 144 pgs | SPCK

How Did I Get Here?: Finding Your Way Back to God When Everything is Pulling You Away
Christine Caine Do you feel lost? Disconnected? Like you're just going through the motions? A respected Bible teacher, author and activist, Christine Caine knew that Jesus was her only anchor - and yet, after an especially difficult season, she found herself drifting, unsure if she wanted to keep going the way she always had and asking, ‘How did I get here?’, as she struggled to return to the steadiness of God’s purpose for her. Where she once wanted to take ground, she now just wanted to take cover. It was a bewildering and disorienting place to be - one you may also have found yourself in before. Writing for all who feel empty of the spiritual passion they once knew, Christine vulnerably shares her journey of turning her eyes back to Jesus in her thoughts, prayers, actions, and the hard questions she asked along the way.
