Finding Hope in Crisis Devotions to Calm the Chaos Grace Fox Life changes in a nanosecond when storms sweep in, often without warning. With minds barely able to think clearly, we often set our Bible aside. In reality, that’s when we need its comfort and strength most. This devotional is written for those in crisis, for those longing for hope but lacking the ability to focus on a lengthy Scripture passage. This book contains 90 devotions. Each day’s entry follows a pattern: • Key Verse • Pause (devotion) • Ponder (application question or action step) • Pray (short prayer) • Relevant quote
Available February 2021
This book is for those who are in crisis. This looks different for everyone. For some, it means facing the fallout of betrayal or divorce. For others, it means a cancer diagnosis, the death of a loved one, experiencing job loss or home foreclosure, or watching an adult child make choices that carry lifelong consequences. Some would say that hitting a relationship roadblock with a friend or family member constitutes crisis, while others would say it’s losing their family pet.

Endorsements
“Within the pages of 40 Unstoppable Women are many hidden secrets of women that turned into incredible examples of courage and strength. The examples of these incredibly faithful women will help you see new ways that you can reflect God’s power in your own life! And may they encourage you to make a difference in your world as well.” —Georgalyn Wilkinson, Ph.D., President, Gospel Light International “All of us need inspiration. Dr. Harold Sala’s 40 Unstoppable Women will give it to you! I hope that learning about these remarkable women whets the appetite of many others to want to know how God forms people like these. The stories and lives of one-third of the women Dr. Sala chose helped shape my life! He has synthesized the stories well and there is a good balance of women from church history and those still living. Each story is brief so that busy women with little time to read can be inspired, too. You will finish each one wishing there was more to read!” —Gail MacDonald. Author, In His Everlasting Arms “40 Unstoppable Women are women of substance, women of grit. Strong and competent, they defy the stereotype that virtuous women are better seen not heard. In the face of suffering and life’s challenges, or taking on huge responsibilities, these God-loving women from different continents and generations have inspired and will continue to inspire us with their compelling stories of exceptional courage and fierce determination. Kudos to Dr. Harold Sala, again, for clinching another great read. And thanks for your appreciation of women of strength and character.” —Grace Shangkuan Koo, Ph.D., Professor of Educational Psychology, University of the Philippines, Author, Guarding Your Heart and Mind, and Work Worth Doing Well “The brilliance of Dr. Sala shines through as he invites readers to see themselves in each of these women. The reader imagines how his or her own life, yielded to the power of the Almighty, can impact the world for Christ. Discover how you can become the upholder of simplicity, beauty, and the extravagant love of Christ. Don’t hesitate; give it a read.” —Mary Kay Park, Ph. D., Global Media Professional, Speaker, and Adjunct Professor of Intercultural Studies

Encountering Jesus in the Real World of the Gospels Cyndi Parker
Encountering Jesus in the Real World of the Gospels draws readers into a deeper understanding of ancient Israel and first-century Judaism—the clothing, setting, political climate, and more—all to better understand Jesus’ ministry. Instead of reading the Gospels through twenty-first-century eyes, author Cyndi Parker introduces readers to the larger context with the weight of the Old Testament behind them.

This is an approachable and conversational book that introduces the reader to the complex human world of Jesus. Have you ever wondered if it is important that Jesus grew up in Nazareth but moved his public ministry to Capernaum, even though Jerusalem was the capital of Jewish thought? Does it seem strange to you that Pharisees, Sadducees, and Essenes held significantly divergent religious views, even though they were all Jewish? In this book, Cyndi Parker guides us through the intriguing drama of history that created the context of first-century Judaism. She extends an invitation to readers to take a new look at the long drama of God’s interactions with humanity that reach a climax in the life of Jesus. Encountering Jesus in the Real World of the Gospels focuses on the complexities of the political, social, literary, and religious context of the Gospels. The purpose is to advance readers’ understanding of the Gospels and help them encounter Jesus, the disciples, and crowds as real people in a real place at a time vastly different from today. Come explore the land of ancient Israel with its dramatic history, culture, and religion. Includes many images, maps, photos, and drawings throughout! Target audience: This book is ideal for students, pastors, and educated laypersons; as well as Introduction to New Testament courses.
Encountering Jesus..., continued About the Author Cyndi Parker (PhD, University of Gloucestershire) teaches in seminaries, universities, and churches around the world. Cyndi lived in Jerusalem for five years, has led dozens of trips to Israel, and continues to develop innovative, educational trips that inspire students of all ages through experiential education. Table of Contents Section One: Context Matters 1. From Eden to Exile: A brief retelling of the biblical narrative from Creation to the Babylonian Exile, pointing out the stories and phrases that significantly impact Jewish identity in the first century. 2. Geography of the Gospels: An introduction to geography and the agricultural calendar. Selected examples from the Gospels illuminate how geography affects people and influences the reader’s understanding of the text. 3. International Drama: Retelling the dramatic history from Alexander the Great to Pompey, while identifying how those events significantly changed Jewish thought. 4. Political Geography: Building on the previous two chapters, this chapter introduces Herod the Great and the fragmentation of his territory into multiple units that were ruled by various political agents. This creates the complex political landscape at the time of Jesus. 5. Jewish Thought and Practice: An introduction to synagogues, the educational system, the interpretation of the Torah, and relationship between rabbi/disciples. Section Two: Reading Jesus in Context 6. Birth Narrative: Looking with a fresh perspective at the Matthew and Luke birth narratives. 7. Entering Ministry: We follow Jesus from his baptism, into the wilderness, and onto the public stage. 8. Teaching the Mixed Multitudes: This chapter draws attention to the diverse crowds listening to Jesus, and the importance of Jesus’ teaching techniques using parables, historical events, and fables. 9. Passion Week: A new look at the last week of Jesus as he enters Jerusalem, engages with the crowds and religious leaders, eats a final supper, stands trial, and dies on a cross. 10. From Death to Life: The book concludes with Jesus’ resurrection and the spread of the good news from Jerusalem to Judea, Samaria, and the ends of the earth.
Corpus Christologicum Texts and Translations for the Study of Jewish Messianism and Early Christology Gregory R. Lanier
Corpus Christologicum is a compendium of approximately three hundred texts—in Greek, Hebrew, Aramaic, Latin, Ethiopic, Syriac, Coptic, and other languages—that are important for the study of Jewish messianism and early Christology. In recent decades, the study of Jewish messianic ideas and how they influenced early Christology has become an incredibly active field within biblical studies. Numerous books and articles have engaged with the ancient sources to trace various themes, including “Messiah” language itself, exalted patriarchs, angel mediators, “wisdom” and “word,” eschatology, and much more. But anyone who attempts to study the Jewish roots of early Christianity faces a challenge: the primary sources are wide-ranging, involve ancient languages, and are often very difficult to track down. Books are littered with citations and a host of other sometimes obscure writings, and it can be difficult to sort them all out.

This book makes a much-needed contribution by bringing together the most important primary texts for the study of Jewish messianism and early Christology—nearly three hundred in total—and presenting the reader with essential information to study them: the critical text itself (with apparatus), a fresh translation, a current bibliography, and thematic tags that allow the reader to trace themes across the corpus. This volume aims to be the starting point for all future work on the primary sources that are relevant to messianology and Christology.
Target audience: Scholars of the New Testament, Second Temple Judaism, and the Hebrew Bible; some educated clergy.

Zambia Home A Missionary Nurse Endures Jeff Barker
Zambia Home tells the true story of one missionary nurse’s amazing journey in Zambia, Africa, as she grapples with local politics, spiritual warfare, and personal grief. One of the great unsung Christian heroes of our time, Arlene Schuiteman’s story will touch your heart and embolden your spirit to declare the glory of God to the next generation. At age nineteen, Arlene Schuiteman began keeping a journal. That daily discipline continued throughout her life, including thirty-four years of nursing and teaching in three African countries: South Sudan, Ethiopia, and Zambia. She then placed her Africa journals and letters into the hands of her friend, playwright Jeff Barker. He adapted Arlene’s writings into plays, and now they have become a book series: Sioux Center Sudan, Iowa Ethiopia, and Zambia Home.
Apprx. 248 pages • 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 inches Includes 16 pages of photographs.
This third book in the trilogy covers the final decade of Arlene’s career, starting with the birth of a nation and passing through the death of Arlene’s mother. Arlene grapples with radically changing infrastructures and the Zambianization of medicine. Then, as she nears the end of her career, the HTLV-3 virus stuns the world. Arlene’s spiritual and emotional journal has never been richer or more complex than this fitting final chapter of her amazing journey.

“Christianity in South and Central Asia represents public recognition of the unprecedented explosion of World Christianity during the past half century. Ambitious and wide-ranging essays by forty authors from varied backgrounds and disciplines explore the highly complex and multiple forms of local and regional Christianities that now exist within fourteen countries. Complicating this work further are Christianities within India itself which, like a gigantic elephant among smaller creatures, embraces more countries and cultures and complexities than all the other thirteen countries combined. Cross-cutting essentials of institutions and ideologies of least seven major historic traditions, as well as of manifold minor traditions found within these countries, are essays that address key themes as these pertain to each country—namely: caste, demography, diaspora, evangelism, faith, freedom, gender, identity, interfaith relations, sociopolitical contexts, theology and worship. This truly remarkable collection should appeal to a broad readership concerned with contemporary affairs in our world.” —Robert Eric Frykenberg, Emeritus Professor, Department of History, University of Wisconsin - Madison
