Who Produces

jubilee

The CCO (Coalition for Christian Outreach) is a campus ministry that develops men and women who live out their Christian faith in all areas of life.

Our ministry is distinct in three ways: 1. Our ministry is transformational. We challenge the students we serve to submit every area of their lives to Jesus Christ. 2. We partner with churches, colleges, and other organizations, placing our staff in strategic positions of influence on campus. 3. We do contextual ministry, meaning that our staff people tailor their ministries to the needs of the particular campus at which they serve. For more about us, please visit our website: www.ccojubilee.org

God made it all, and God cares about it all. It all matters. That’s what Jesus reconciled through His blood on the cross. Everything. That’s what God calls us—as followers of Jesus, enlivened by the Holy Spirit—to engage for His Kingdom’s sake. Nothing less than everything. With the world around us shouting at every turn that nothing really matters, it’s time to take a deeper look into the truth of the Gospel and how it absolutely does matter. The Gospel of Jesus Christ, the promise that His sacrifice makes possible the redemption and restoration of the whole world—it matters how we treat our roommates, how we view business transactions, how we study, play, work, and interact with everyone we meet. It matters how we will live out our faith in Jesus Christ. We hope that this weekend God will expose you to new ideas, new passions, new callings, and fresh meaning for your life. We pray that you will be transformed into a change agent for God’s Kingdom. The whole story of the Bible points us to God’s work of changing a broken world back into the perfectly aligned and thriving creation He originally intended. While we know that Jesus will be the ultimate restorer, as bearers of His image and members of His body, He invites us into the family business—to create signposts in our pieces of the everything that will point toward their ultimate restoration. We have designed this conference to introduce you to people who are seeking to live their lives as those signposts. We hope that, as you process what you are learning, you will understand more fully your place in the larger work that Christ is doing in the world. We hope that you will hear things that excite you, challenge you, confuse you, and inspire you. Most of all, we hope this weekend isn’t just a weekend for you, but rather a signpost on your journey—the journey of a life animated by Jesus’ love and grace in order to reflect the love and grace of Jesus in all you do. Because it’s really true. Everything matters.

Re-imagine the world together, share what’s working on your campus, put your frustrations and triumphs into words. Meals are a perfect time for this, so never eat alone!

CROSS-CULTURAL We host Jubilee Cross-Cultural to promote discipleship for students of color.

The following events and workshops are open to all attendees, regardless of race and ethnicity.

FRIDAY

SUNDAY

Join us as we celebrate a variety of styles of worship—from miming to spoken word to Christian rap! It doesn’t matter if this is your usual worship style or if you want to experience something a little different. Come join us!

The Best of Times, the Worst of Times: Life as a Black Christian on a White Campus, with Khadija Adams Life as a Black Christian on a predominately white campus is, almost by definition, life as a professional translator and bridge-builder. Whether in the classroom, your dorm room, with the Black Student Union, or your fellowship group, you find yourself ever-understanding, but rarely being fully understood. If you’re looking for a place to commiserate and celebrate your life as all things to all people on campus, this is the seminar for you.

Your work matters. Press on. Ryan fell in love with winemaking. A few years ago, he left a full-time music ministry, moved his young family to Oregon and became a small-batch artisanal wine producer. Today he operates a successful urban winery in Portland. And he understood intuitively that stepping into a God-given vocation wasn’t at odds with being both entrepreneurial and ambitious. See: God provided the fields, the sunlight, the rain, and the grapes. But it was Ryan’s job to make the wine. And he wasn’t content to settle for good enough. He set out to make world-class wine. Just a few years into his venture, he’s already been named one of the top ten urban wineries in the country. Soon, it’ll be your turn to make something world-class — something so good people will drive miles and miles just to come taste it. Here at The High Calling, we celebrate our drive to serve the Kingdom by making good things for the world, as we co-create with God. We’re here at Jubilee. Visit us at Booth 107 and: · Plug into 60 years of conversation about work, life, and God. · Dive into helpful articles hand-curated for young professionals · Learn the good stories about good companies and organizations · Get connected to High Calling coaches and experts in your field of study who are ready to engage you personally. · Subscribe today — it’s free — you’ll receive new articles all month long, written by Jubilee students for Jubilee students.

As you transition from college to colleague, remember: your work matters. What will you create out in the workplace?

WORKSHOP 1 Visions of Vocation Steven Garber & Jay Jakub

Learning to learn is the heart of the vocation of a student. How do we learn to learn in ways that deepen us, heart and mind? That bring clarity to what we do and why? That help us understand that an education can become a vocation? Steven Garber and Jay Jakub will talk together about their own vocations, focusing on a project they have taken up that has “Jubilee” written into its very meaning, and will have meaning for people in universities and marketplaces the world over. It might even mean something for you. DLCC 301 & 302

College Matters: Learning for God’s Sake Keith Martel & Don Opitz

We want you to thrive during your college years. Many of you aren’t quite thriving yet, so we’ve got some ideas for you to try out. If you are already thriving, perhaps some of our suggestions will boost you into super-thrive! (And yes, Jesus is the key, the source, the guide, and the Lord of learning.) Allegheny 1 & 2

The transition from college to life after college is arguably one of the most difficult transitions you will make up to this point in your life.

Basic Christianity Pete Ware

Christianity is so grand that the most sophisticated minds cannot fully comprehend it, but so clear that children can grasp it. During this workshop, we will focus on the basics of Christianity—the things we can grasp—and explore how those effect everything else. DLCC 304

Negotiable Spaces: Art, Religion & the Gift of the Liminal Kenyon Adams

Christianity and the arts share common objectives, but none so fundamental as the initiative towards transformation. The hope of the gospel (viz. redemption of the body) would seem to suggest that change is rather the point. We move from one state or condition to another: sinfulness to holiness, brokenness to wholeness, temporality to eternity. But why is it that our religious practices often seem far less potent than our engagement with the arts, even with so-called secular art?

With Trembling Boldness: Understanding the Call to Vocational Ministry Josh Brown

A proper understanding of Christian vocation recognizes that we can faithfully proclaim and exalt Jesus Christ from any occupational realm. Nevertheless, the call to vocational ministry—and particularly pastoral ministry—is distinct in its character and function. What is the character and nature of that call, and how can you go about discerning it? What practical steps should you take to pursue that call, and what are the unique joys and challenges that it brings? We will explore the concept of vocation and reflect upon a theology of ministry. We will also consider some common misconceptions and prevalent false models before sketching out the biblical portrait of one who pursues the call to vocational ministry with trembling boldness.

Following Jesus as a Physicist in Academia Catherine Hirshfeld Crouch

It is a real privilege to be a college or university faculty member. There are amazing opportunities and challenges for a follower of Jesus to grow in and live out his or her faith. In this workshop, Catherine Crouch will talk about the most important ways that being a physics professor at a liberal arts college has helped her grow in her faith and how she is trying to live out her faith through her work. Workshop participants will have an opportunity to reflect on and discuss how these ideas might help them live out their own faith, now as students and in the future in their vocations.

What Do You Care About? When an Education Becomes a Vocation Steven Garber

The whole world seems a possibility—from astronomy to zoology, with history and politics, economics and poetry too. But what is ours to think and care about, to work at over time? What is it that draws us in? And has staying power? That keeps making sense over the course of life? This seminar will address the vocation of student, and finding our way into occupations that become vocations—along the way listening in to movies and music that are the cultural context of both learning and life. DLCC 307

Following Christ in Science and Technology Deborah Haarsma

What does it mean to follow Christ while pursuing a career in science or technology? Does good science require setting aside your faith to be “neutral”? What do you do when the discoveries of science seem to conflict with the Bible? Can your career serve the mission of the church? Join us for a discussion of ways that science can be a truly Christian vocation. DLCC 306

No More Let Sin and Sorrows Grow: Stories of Kingdom Hope in Urban Health care Shareen Kelly

Called to Campus? Discerning if you should go into college ministry Stephen Lutz & CCO Panel

Everything matters. For those of us in, or considering involvement in, urban health care, the calling to live as a faithful witness to the hope of the kingdom in the face of the changing landscape of health care is a daily challenge. This session will offer thoughts, stories, and a biblical foundation for how health care professionals can approach health care as a system, as a relationship between provider and patient, and as a sustainable calling in a world replete with both brokenness and seeds of redemption. DLCC 304

The work of a campus minister can be a lot of fun, but it’s not all hanging out, drinking coffee, and playing ultimate Frisbee. It’s a vocation for transforming lives. It’s about leadership, communication, service, influence, and innovation. It is a mission to the most exciting and strategic people group in the world. It’s about changing the world, one student at a time. If you have ever thought about going into college ministry, or even if you haven’t, come to this session to explore what college ministry is, what it requires of you, and practical ways to discern if you’re called to do it.

Globalization and Inequality: Is Free Trade the Problem or the Solution? Rodney Ludema

Over the last three decades, income disparities between countries have diminished, while income disparities within countries have grown considerably—not just in the United States, but also in Latin America, Asia, and Africa. At the same time, globalization has increased markedly. Trade between developed and developing countries has increased substantially, and economic growth has shifted to the developing world. What are the connections among these trends? Come explore the nexus between globalization and income inequality, why Christians should be concerned, and what we can do about it. DLCC 310

Few issues garner more attention in Congress, the White House, state legislatures, and governors’ mansions than health care. Researchers and contractors provide policymakers with important resources that inform the development of public policy aimed to improve the health care delivery system. Christians working in this field can participate in God’s redemptive work and serve their neighbors by contributing to sound policies that promote high quality, low cost, and accessible care. In this session, we will discuss key policy issues affecting the American health care system, a theology of health care policy, and how Christians might maintain a faithful presence in the field. Westmoreland West

Being a Christian in the Music/Arts Industry Justin McRoberts

Let’s move beyond the question of whether or not a song, band, album, or label can be “Christian” and focus on the more vital question of how to be Christians in the music/arts industry. What does faithfulness look like as an artist? What does the gospel sound and look like? After 15 years as a singer-songwriter, storyteller, and (more recently) author, Justin McRoberts has a unique perspective on the unique role Christians can and do play as musicians and artists. Fayette


Telling the Story of the World Eric Miller

Is belief decisive for the way we understand the past? Should it be? In this workshop, we will probe the surprisingly vexed relationship between how we see the world and how we tell its story. Within the contested terrain of the historical profession, Christian historians over the past 50 years have advanced an array of ideas that seek to make sense of the relationship between our fundamental beliefs and historical interpretation. We will examine these efforts and work towards a deepening understanding of a faithfully Christian way of exploring the past. Somerset West

The Trades, Tool-making, and God’s Wisdom for the World Jim Mahan, Jerry Purcell, Sean Purcell

Note: Participants of this workshop will meet at 2:30 p.m. in front of the Westin to board a bus to Penn United. This session will extend throughout the afternoon. Dinner will be provided for all participants, who will be returned to the Westin in time for Saturday evening’s Gathering. Old Testament scholar Ray Van Leeuwen writes: “Craftsmanship or skill in any area of human endeavor lies at the heart of biblical wisdom, because wisdom is a concept as wide and all-encompassing as creation, which in ancient thought included culture.” These off-site breakout sessions will explore this connection between the skilled trades and God’s wisdom for the world. The goal of these sessions is to explore how and why the trades matter in God’s world. These sessions will take place at Penn United Technologies, Inc., which is a 500 plus employee-owned tool and die company. Participants will tour the facility and will take part in dialogue with executives, journeymen, and apprentices with the goal of seeing the integral linking between making things, being human, and God’s wisdom.

Shaping a Digital World: What do bytes have to do with beliefs? Derek Schuurman

What do bytes have to do with beliefs? Derek Schuurman will present some of the ideas from his recent book, entitled Shaping a Digital World: Faith, Culture and Computer Technology. His approach is oriented around the grand Biblical themes of creation, fall, redemption, and new creation. Building on the work of Jacques Ellul, Marshall McLuhan, and Neil Postman, and drawing from a wide range of Christian thinkers, he argues that computer technology is not neutral, but value-laden with substantial legal, ethical, social, cultural, and faith implications. Computer technology is part of the possibilities of God’s good creation. Although fallen, it is an area we are called to use and develop responsibly. Somerset East

An Old Vocation, A New Marketplace Roxanne Stone

We’ve all heard the bad news about today’s publishing industry. But there’s plenty of good news too—especially for the entrepreneurial writer and editor. In this workshop, we’ll look at the opportunities afforded by today’s multi-platform journalism and how to stand out in a very crowded arena. We will also ask what it means to pursue excellence in an industry that increasingly prefers speed and quantity over quality. Cambria West

What is a Good Human Life? Mari Stout

Pain. Trauma. Disappointment. Confusion. Sadness. Anger. Jealousy. All of these emotions—and more—are ubiquitous across culture, race, gender, and nationality. What is a good human life? Every counseling theory wrestles with that basic question. How do human beings make sense of struggles inherent in life? Does God’s story have anything to say about suffering? How does he respond to the pain and brokenness that is everywhere? As Christians, how do we walk alongside those who suffer? Is it possible to experience joy or hope in the face of real pain? Are you someone who tends to be the listening ear for your friends? Are you considering pursuing a career in the helping professions? Mari Stout will share from her experiences as a social worker and professional counselor, exploring what it looks like to find hope in the midst of struggle. Westmoreland East

The School as Parish: How to Make a Difference in Education Matthew Worthington

The challenge to provide a quality education to every child regardless of their zip code can easily feel overwhelming to the average individual. The mass amounts of information provided through film, literature, journalism, and viral videos about the daunting challenges of restoring equity to our education systems, make it easy to feel like David staring at Goliath. In this workshop, Matt Worthington explores his own journey as an average individual attempting to expand opportunities for the least among us through ordinary means and provides resources for others to do the same.

Wondering if vocational campus ministry is right for you? CCO staff panel

The hope of the Gospel assures us that one day our embodied lives will be completely redeemed. Dance offers us a foretaste of this promise to come. Inspired by this vision of human flourishing, Bodies in Motion is a workshop designed for people who would consider themselves “non-dancers,” and who are interested in exploring movement possibilities and dance concepts in an encouraging environment. Come in comfortable clothing, ready to move, and discover the possibilities of dance! DLCC West Atrium

Sexual violence against women on campus, in suburban homes, in nations overrun with war, and in refugee camps is the norm, not the exception. From sexual abuse to human trafficking, why is there so much sexual violence against women and children? It is imperative not only to address that question, but to look at the war between men and women as a reality that must be addressed in the church through the lens of Genesis 3 and a deeper understanding of “the curse.” We will look at the consequences of sin on gender, sexuality, and the intersection of male and female. DLCC 301 & 302

Going pro in something other than (fill in your sport here) Stacie Anderson, Matt Darnell, Dan Wagner

Every student-athlete dreams of professional success beyond college, but for the vast majority, that profession will be something other than their sport. In this session, a panel of former student-athletes will lead a discussion that helps students take their experiences as studentathletes and apply them to becoming Kingdom citizens once they enter the working world. The three-person panel includes a former college wrestler who is now a nutritionist and PhD student, a former college swimmer who is now a marketing professional and a mom, and a former college soccer player who is now a college soccer coach. Come prepared to listen, discuss, and walk away with a new vision of “turning pro.” DLCC 305

Public Discipleship Vincent Bacote

Christian participation in public life is one of the greatest opportunities and challenges in the pursuit of a life of faithfulness.

C.S. Lewis died over 50 years ago, yet his books still sell millions of copies each year, making him one of the bestselling authors of all time. Why does Lewis still appeal to so many people? The answer is in the power of story. C.S. Lewis understood that humans are wired for story and that we find our deepest meaning, our truest purpose, and our sense of self in narratives. Come and find out how stories have the power to shape our imaginations and empower us to live the life we were meant to live. Washington

Preemptive Love: Remaking the World through Healing Jeremy Courtney

Our world is full of injustice, violence, and personal brokenness. Our world is also full of surprise, creative disruption, and beauty that we create through our own actions and lives. Come explore the ways that “preemptive love” is changing hearts in some of the world’s most notorious war-torn places, and hear how “loving first” can remake the world and change us all. DLCC 304

Redeeming the Gift of Power Andy Crouch

Power corrupts—as we’ve seen time and time again. Shady politicians, corrupt executives, and ego-filled media stars have made us suspicious of those who wield influence and authority. They too often breed injustice by participating in what the Bible calls idolatry. Yet power is also the means by which we bring life, create possibilities, offer hope, and make human flourishing possible. How can we prepare ourselves to use power well in a world full of power’s misuse? How do we handle situations when we feel powerless to bring change? What do we do with imbalances of power, whether on short-term mission trips or in the places where we work and study? Flourishing is possible in all these situations, whether we seem to have power or not. This workshop will explore power as it was meant to be. DLCC 303

Can faith and science get along? When it comes to the history of life and the universe, many people think that science is in conflict with the Bible. But what exactly is in conflict?

Christians Investing in Education Charity Haubrich & Stephanie Summers

Everything matters to God, including our local schools. Yet it is easy in an individualistic culture to spend time considering what is best only for ourselves rather than considering what is best for each child being educated in our communities.

This movement equips Christians to serve families, schools, governments, businesses, churches, and nonprofit organizations, which each play a role to uphold a just public order which benefits every child’s education.

King of the Campus Stephen Lutz

We are used to thinking about Jesus as Savior and friend. But he’s also a King with a kingdom. Jesus’ purpose for you at college involves joining him in the work he’s already doing there. You have been gifted and shaped to participate in the kingdom of God—right now, on your campus. We will explore why the kingship of Christ really matters, and examine what it looks like to have Jesus as King over every area of life, including five key areas of university life: church and Christian fellowship, relationships, academics and work, organizational leadership, partying and pleasure. The story God has for you is bigger and more compelling than a list of “do’s and don’ts.” Learn to thrive as you partner with God in the change he is bringing to your life, to your campus, and to the world.

Exploring Faith and Technology with Lessons from the World of Robotics Derek Schuurman

Thoughtful Christians need to discern what it means to live as imagebearers in a technological society. Technology is not primarily about machines and devices, but rather is a human cultural activity in which we exercise freedom and responsibility. We will talk about different views of technology, as well as a Christian perspective informed by the Biblical themes of creation, fall, redemption, and restoration. As we draw on current examples from the world of robotics, where new developments raise many important ethical and social issues, these issues will highlight the importance of recognizing norms for appropriate and responsible technology development and use.

7 Marks of #JesusStyle Neighbor-Love Margot Starbuck

When we make Martin Luther King, Jr., Mother Teresa, or Katie Davis into neighbor-loving superheroes—when we decide that hardcore Jesus-style neighbor-love is some other time or place or person—we’re off the hook. It’s convenient, right? But what if we were to say “yes” to loving the unlikely neighbor right where we are: the dorm custodian, the grocery store bagboy, the dishwasher at our favorite ethnic restaurant, or the dancer at a local club? As we pattern our lives after the person of Jesus, we begin to love like He loved. Say “yes” to the adventure. Westmoreland East

Machismo: Discovering the Beauty of Ethnicity and the Frailty of Pride Michael Thornhill

WORKSHOP 4 The Best of Times, the Worst of Times: Life as a Black Christian on a White Campus Khadija Adams

Life as a Black Christian on a predominately white campus is, almost by definition, life as a professional translator and bridgebuilder. Whether in the classroom, your dorm room, with the Black Student Union, or your fellowship group, you find yourself everunderstanding, but rarely being fully understood. If you’re looking for a place to commiserate and celebrate your life as all things to all people on campus, this is the seminar for you. Butler East & West

Discover Your Calling: Two Conversations that Changed the World Jim Belcher

What is my calling in life? What am I supposed to do? What will I do for work? No questions haunt college students more than the questions of purpose and meaning and jobs. In an age of mass unemployment, anxiety about the future rules the day. Yet discovering your calling can be one of the most exciting and empowering experiences in your life. In this session, you will learn the importance of calling, how to discover it, and the difference it will make in your life. Our guide will be two conversations that changed the lives of two men and the course of history forever. DLCC 305

Giftedness: Identifying & Practically Applying God-Given Talents Patricia Bleil

What does it mean to be gifted and define our worth in Christ? School of Management Studies Chair, Dr. Patricia Bleil, will discuss professional successes, how she came to understand her God-given abilities, and how this journey is evolving. We will explore how we go about identifying, developing, and deploying God-given talents. We will also examine challenges we face in giving God first place in our areas of strength and what it looks like to yield to His will. All session participants will receive a code that will allow them to take a StrengthsFinder test. The test is sponsored by Eastern University and is free to all session participants. DLCC 306

Reading for the Kingdom: My Journey to Becoming a Life-Long Learner and Jubilee Bookseller Byron Borger

Why should we care about being widely-read and how might it allow us to serve God more faithfully? Can books help us to think Christianly, see God in all things, and serve Jesus and others better? Join Byron as he recalls decisive “aha” moments and key insights along the way of his journey to becoming the Jubilee bookseller. With lots of stories and Biblical references, he will share why books are so important and why developing the Christian mind is essential in our current cultural context. You will learn not only about some of Byron’s favorite authors, but will be inspired to be a joy-filled, responsible, life-long learner who joins God in believing that “everything matters.” DLCC 307

Why shouldn’t PETA have to hire Lady Gaga? Examining Organizational Freedoms Stanley Carlson-Thies

Should the campus Democrats be forced to elect a Republican student as their president? Should an animal rights group have to hire Lady Gaga, who made headlines by wearing a dress made out of meat? We would say no, because these groups are all trying to maintain a specific identity. But what happens to religious organizations when they are expected to ignore the faith and behavior of their members, applicants, and even leaders? Join us as we wrestle with the intersection of religious freedom, individual rights, and organizational freedoms in the context of Christian student clubs, the federal Employment Non-Discrimination Act, and the HHS contraceptives mandate.

Perhaps no issue divides friends and families like the meaning of marriage. Christians, most of whom agree on the Biblical purpose of marriage and sex, often struggle to move from their theology to American public policy.

The Walking Tech: Searching for Grace through Google Glass Marcus Goodyear

From Retribution to Redemption: Biblical Norms and Public Justice Harold Dean Trulear

According to McKinsey, the Internet of Things is going to be worth more than 6 trillion dollars in the next decade. Google developed a new window into this world with its wearable technology, Google Glass. But too much technology on your face invites others to treat you more like a zombie than a human. With this in mind, Marcus Goodyear started wearing Glass to church, engaging in as many Christian traditions as possible—communion, marriage, baptisms, hospital visits, and even confession—to see how the crowd in his eye would change what he saw. How can Christians honor God as pioneers of the digital world? Why do we need a theology of technology? One lucky participant will get to try Google Glass as part of the workshop! DLCC 304

Beyond Lizard Sex: A hopeful Christian ethos of sexuality in a super sexy world Jim and Mari Stout

Is it: “true love waits”? “What I do with my body is my business”? “I’m waiting, since sex will be fantastic once I’m married”? “Early and often, just use a condom”? How do we maintain a reasonable, sustainable, redeemed, and holy posture with our bodies and our relationships? Join Jim and Mari as they tell their story and discuss some of the lies both the culture and the church tells us about sex. DLCC 301 & 302

Amidst complex government budgets and policies, here are some compelling facts: Food aid saves lives and supports peace, and food aid can be done better and serve God’s intention that all people flourish. Are you passionate about doing your part to end global poverty? Do you wonder how you can participate in the movement? How can American Christians leverage our gift of citizenship and influence our own government to address the root causes of poverty and hunger? Policy advocacy is an important tool for Christians who want to see the world transformed. This workshop explores the role of advocacy in both poverty alleviation and Christian discipleship— through the lens of food aid reform through organizations like Bread for the World. Learn how to use your voice for justice. Somerset West

There and Back Again: 5 Reasons You Should Go Somewhere...and Then Return Sam Van Eman & CCO XD Panel

Travel and service opportunities abound. Fly here, bus there, hike that mountain, love those strangers. But why go anywhere? After all, G.K. Chesterton said, “If we were to-morrow morning snowed up in the street in which we live, we should step suddenly into a much larger and much wilder world than we have ever known.” Maybe it’s because going somewhere provides an easier place to start. Stripped of the usual routine, your senses turn on. You encounter your limits, and your potential, too. You see the beauty of interdependence. There, under a “suspension of normal,” Jesus can get to work. Join storytellers from the CCO’s Experiential Designs Team to discover where you might go and how it can do a world of good. DLCC 310

Cross Culture with Transformational Business World Harvest Mission, with “John Smith”

BOOKS

For most of Jubilee’s history, HEARTS & MINDS of Dallastown, Pennsylvania has been the conference bookstore. Emerging from Byron and Beth Borger’s involvement with the earliest Jubilee conferences, HEARTS & MINDS is a local, independent bookstore which seeks to illustrate the thinking and perspective of Jubilee. The Jubilee conference and the book display affirm that Christ is Lord of every zone of life, and therefore His people must be continuously learning how best to serve Him in their various vocations, callings, classes, and careers.

Because of their association with the CCO and the Jubilee conference, and because of their wide knowledge of books, resources, and ideas that can help us live out the implications of the CCO’s Kingdom vision, we are pleased that they are with us again for Jubilee 2014. Please take time to study the book display as we are confident it will enhance your experience of the conference and you will find resources to nurture your growth in faith and action in the months to come. www.heartsandmindsbooks.com Dan Allender

Worldview

The True Story of the Whole World: Finding Your Place in the Story of God Michael Goheen & Craig Bartholomew

(Faith Alive) $12.99 One of our favorite Biblically-oriented books, a splendid and easy-to-read overview of the Bible, a thoughtful and insightful approach that helps us to see the unfolding drama of redemption and how the Bible shapes our worldview.

50

Heaven is a Place on Earth: Why Everything You Do Matters to God Michael Witmer (Zondervan) $16.99

This is one of the most enjoyable and informative books on what we mean by a “Christian worldview.” A great introduction to the “Jubilee vision”!

Creation Regained: The Biblical Basis for a Reformational Worldview Albert M. Wolters (Eerdmans) $14.00

This small book is dense with insight and solid Biblical study, offering what some consider to be the best foundational resource for what Jubilee is all about. A classic.

University

Learning for the Love of God: A Student’s Guide to Academic Faithfulness Derek Melleby & Donald Opitz (Brazos Press) $14.99

This newly updated version of the CCO favorite The Outrageous Idea of Academic Faithfulness is without a doubt the best book for students to learn to see their classroom studies as central to their faith. Do you approach your education as a holy vocation? This book will help!

Engaging God’s World: A Christian Vision of Faith, Learning, and Living Cornelius Plantinga, Jr. (Eerdmans) $16.00

Elegant writing by a brilliant thinker, helping college students take up their vocations in the Kingdom, especially as students who love to learn, for God’s sake!

Vocation

This book explores the ideas of calling and vocation by framing them within the over-all Biblical drama. Very well done, full of life-transforming insight.


What Is Vocation? Stephen Nichols (P&R) $3.99

A very brief guide to this key “Jubilee” concept—that God calls you to serve Him in your particular tasks. Very basic and quite clear.

The Call: Finding and Fulfilling the Central Purpose of Your Life Os Guinness (Thomas Nelson Publishing) $17.99

This elegant, mature work offers short chapters on this most profound Biblical doctrine, that we are all called by God to serve Christ in everything, but especially by seeing our careers as holy vocations.

Cultural Engagement

Culture-Making: Recovering Our Creative Calling Andy Crouch (IVP) $22.00

Jubilee main-stage speaker Andy Crouch reminds us here that God desires for us to be involved in making the world a better place, that social initiatives can be meaningful and honorable to God, and that the joy of living includes being engaged in the world around us. A masterpiece!

Generous Justice: How God’s Grace Makes Us Just Timothy Keller (Dutton) $19.95

Advanced Studies

Desiring the Kingdom: Worship, Worldview, and Cultural Formation James K.A. Smith (Baker Academic) $21.95

This is a deep and fabulous study, exploring everything from pop culture consumerism to postmodern scholarship, to how our deepest desires and ways of being are shaped by either the “liturgies” of secular culture or the liturgies of God’s Kingdom expressed in radical worship. This is the first of what will be a threepart magnum opus written by a philosopher from Calvin College in Michigan.

Imagining the Kingdom: How Worship Works James K.A. Smith (Baker Academic) $22.99

A powerful, stimulating sequel to the important Desiring the Kingdom, this brand new book will surely be one of the most talked-about books of the year. Smith was a hit at Jubilee two years ago, and many have been eager to see how his argument about “cultural liturgies” unfolds in this study of the lifeshaping influence of worship.

Beyond Homelessness: Christian Faith in a Culture of Displacement Brian Walsh & Steve Bouma-Prediger

(Eerdmans) $27.00 This is a magisterial study of how failing to believe that God is redeeming all things (using images of homemaking and homecoming) leads to a postmodern dislocation from place, which helps create harsh economics that hurt the poor. What are the relationships between our Up in the Air emptiness and the injustices of disregard for the Earth and the oppressed? One of the most provocative, important, and serious examples of radical Christian scholarship in years!

To Change the World: The Irony, Tragedy & Possibility of Christianity in the Late Modern World John Davison Hunter (Oxford) $27.95

One of the clearest theologians and church leaders today offers a solid, short study of how the Bible points us to God’s grace, which motivates us to work for justice.

This prestigious text is perhaps the most talked-about book of its kind in recent years! Deep, rich, wise—and a bit controversial—by a renowned sociologist.

Zealous Love: A Practical Guide to Social Justice edited by Mike & Danae Yankoski (Zondervan) $16.99

Fabric of Faithfulness: Weaving Together Belief and Behavior Steven Garber (IVP) $17.00

Not only does this handbook offer helpful information on a wide range of issues—trafficking, education, the environment, etc.— the short pieces are by some of the best Christian thinkers and writers today, such as Bob Goff, Wendell Berry, Francis Chan, Marva Dawn, Eugene Peterson. Full-color art and photography, too.

— 10%

This has long been a beloved classic among many CCO leaders. It is a serious, profound, and eloquent study of how meaningful, world-changing faith can be sustained from the college years onward.
