His Healing Touch
by Loree LoughAs a boy, Adam Thorne participated in a prank that went horribly wrong. Having no adult in his life to teach him that, with a changed heart, no sin is unforgivable, he turned his guilt into a shield......until Kasey Delaney bounded into his world, bubbling with life and overflowing with enthusiasm for God's love.Months into their whirlwind courtship, Adam still hadn't revealed his shameful secret. But could he bear the loneliness if Kasey couldn't set aside her pain and anger and see him for the man he had become, rather than the boy he had been? Or would God, in His infinite wisdom, give Adam the strength to unburden his heart and rejoice in the healing power of love?
His Hiding Place is Darkness: A Hindu-Catholic Theopoetics of Divine Absence
by Francis X. ClooneyHis Hiding Place is Darkness explores the uncertainties of faith and love in a pluralistic age. In keeping with his conviction that studying multiple religious traditions intensifies rather than attenuates religious devotion, Francis Clooney's latest work of comparative theology seeks a way beyond today's religious and interreligious uncertainty by pairing a fresh reading of the absence of the beloved in the Biblical Song of Songs with a pioneering study of the same theme in the Holy Word of Mouth (9th century CE), a classic of Hindu mystical poetry rarely studied in the West. Remarkably, the pairing of these texts is grounded not in a general theory of religion, but in an engagement with two unexpected sources: the theopoetics, theodramatics, and theology of the 20th-century Catholic theologian Hans Urs von Balthasar, and the intensely perceived and written poetry of Pulitzer Prize winner Jorie Graham. How we read and write on religious matters is transformed by this rare combination of voices in what is surely a unique and important contribution to comparative studies and religious hermeneutics.

His Image, My Image
by Josh Mcdowell"A strong and positive self-image is intensely desired in today's self-centered world. But is such an image an important or even legitimate quest for the Christian, who is commanded to forget self in order to glorify God and serve others? In His Image ... My Image, Josh McDowell turns to the Bible to show that Christians actually serve God and others in the best manner possible once they have realized and experienced the high worth they possess in the mind and heart of God. But, are being made in the image of God (His Image) and consistently living that reality (My Image) two different things? Relating both personal experiences and those of others, Josh examines how a poor view of self is often molded in early childhood. Then he shows how the heavenly viewpoint of who we are -- our only basis for a true self-image -- can take root in a Christian's heart and mind."
