The Life of God in the Soul of the Church The Root and Fruit of Spiritual Fellowship Thabiti Anyabwile In this transformational book, trusted pastor Thabiti Anyabwile repositions our thinking about spiritual fellowship. Extending the concept of Divine life presented in Henry Scougal’s classic The Life of God in the Soul of Man, Anyabwile contends that union with Christ is not individualistic, but is discerned in the soul of the local church. This vision of spiritual fellowship is not centred on external activities and programs, but on our shared life in Christ, as we share one another’s sufferings, use our spiritual gifts for the good of the body, partner in spreading the gospel and grow spiritually together. The Life of God in the Soul of the Church – Experienced personally by believing the truth; shared relationally in the church...leads to great joy and holiness.

A Cord of Three Strands Three Centuries of Christian Love Letters Diana Lynn Severance – A historian with broad experience teaching in universities and seminaries. A cord of three strands is not quickly torn apart. (Ecclesiastes 4:9-12) Follow the love stories of those who served in public positions such as soldiers; martyrs, and pastors through the letters they wrote to their loved ones. However, marriage is not purely about the husband and wife; there is another strand which is vital. Marriage is a gift from God and the most important factor in the strength of that marriage is the love we have for the giver of that gift. Read in this book love letters which encourage us to stick close to Christ and the importance of having him as the third strand in our relationships particularly in the face of life-threatening adversity!

Different by Design God’s Blueprint for men and woman. Carrie Sandom – Associate Minister for Women and Pastoral Care at St John’s Church, Tunbridge Wells, UK. Just as relationships in the Godhead are equal yet diverse, working together in unity and order, so are these characteristics to be reflected in the way men and women relate to one another. Scripturally grounded, Different by Design presents a biblical context for roles of men and women in marriage, the church and the workplace, with present-day implications for each. “Different by Design traces God’s specific design for men and women in the Bible from its revelation, rejection and masking, to its restoration in the lives of those who seek to apply it. With practical insights and scenarios, women especially will find this resource both biblical and culturally relevant. “ Margaret Elizabeth Kostenberger, Adjunctive instructor of Women’s Studies, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, Wake Forest, North Carolina.

The Yankee Officer and the Southern Belle A Journey of Love Across Africa Nell Robertson Chinchen It began like a fairy-tale – amidst mint juleps and magnolias in Mississippi. But as their love grew, its fruit flourished and spread to a most unlikely place – across the mission fields of Africa. The Yankee Officer and the Southern Belle is the vivid recollection of how God called Nell (sister of O. Palmer Robertson) and Jack Chinchen from the comforts of their “perfect” life to a risky, lifelong journey they would never regret. More than forty years ago, the Chinchens arrived in Liberia, West Africa, as missionaries. They had left family, thriving ministries and a successful business. Their new life in the jungle would bring perils: tropical diseases, witch doctors, fire and even rebel invasion. Yet joy overflowed in their faithfulness to God’s call – training pastors, teaching children, pioneering medical ministry. ISBN 978-1-84550-921-7 | Large Trade | 184 Pages | PB | $12.99
