101 Bible Questions: And the Surprising Answers You May Not Hear in Church
by Andrew FarleyThis book asks the hard, forbidden, or taboo questions about Christianity—and offers surprising biblical answers you may never hear in church.&“Don&’t ask too many questions. Just go with the flow.&” This is the mantra of legalistic religion. It leaves many of us wallowing in confusion as we still have burning questions about our faith. Sometimes, these questions almost seem off-limits: Is there actually an unforgivable sin? Can we lose our salvation? Is masturbation always a sin? Am I really supposed to give 10 percent of my income to the church? Is divorce and remarriage wrong for a Christian? Andrew Farley offers surprising, yet scriptural, answers to these controversial questions and many others. Andrew&’s no-nonsense style will challenge you and catapult you into a radical new outlook on God&’s grace.
101 Damnations: The Humorists' Tour of Personal Hells
by Andy Borowitz Christopher Buckley Henry AlfordDear flappable reader: Do you bristle at a handshake that resembles a limp fish? Do oblivious pedestrians bring you to the brink? What about museum gift shops, superfluous courtesy (do we need a gas pump to show us gratitude?), behemoth SUVS, or inexplicable operating manuals? Have you had it with screeching leaf blowers, beseeching telemarketers, escalating movie-ticket prices, or proliferating celebrity magazines? Is it children's choirs or karaoke singers, waiters bearing pepper grinders or dinner guests blathering on about salt, that drives you to distraction?For anyone who has recognized that this peaceful kingdom of ours has more than a few potholes, 101 Damnations is the perfect companion. It's your ticket to the nine circles of personal hell. Armed with wit, bewilderment, and words to the wise ass, today's leading humorists conduct a brief tour of the trivial and often universal exasperations we all must endure. Among the damning, Henry Alford reveals our wanton desire to affect Britishisms. Sandra Tsing Loh has it in for people who forward "funny" e-mails. Once and for all, Merrill Markoe sets forth cell phone etiquette. And there are many, many others. Ninety-eight to be exact. Make yourself comfortable. Misery loves company.
101 Façons de Faire Grandir l'Esprit de Nos Enfants
by Dr Rosie Kuhn Susana MatosLes enfants sont des êtres spirituels qui il n'y a pas si longtemps, se sont aventurés au monde des humains. Ils rentrent à notre monde tout en ayant déjà une vie spirituelle. Dans leur innocence, ils ont de l'accès à la sagesse et à l'émerveillement du monde d'où ils sont originaires. Ils aiment encore entretenir des rapports avec l'univers invisible: des anges et guides, leurs amis dévoués de cet univers. Ils ont une capacité innée d'être en connexion avec leurs Alter-ego spirituels et le monde spirituel, jusqu'à ce qu'ils deviennent un peu plus comme le reste de nous. Quand est-ce que cela se vérifie? Quand est-ce qu'ils prennent la décision d'oublier leur existence en tant que des êtres Spirituels ? Comme est-ce que nous comme adultes participons dans cet oubli ? Mon livre est ma réponse à ces questions là."
101 Fun Fables
by Bernie L. CalawayWelcome to the world of fantasy and parable. 101 Fun Fables is guaranteed to move you a bit away from the ponderous scholastic to the lighter side of living life on the "real" side of theology. The writing is entertainment, surely, but holds out practical applications as well if you need to start a good speech, spin up an article, or simply make learning a little easier. With apologies to Aesop, look inside for a saucy yet practical aspect of storytelling through the delight of animal fables. Bernie indulges deeply in gentle humor, kindly farce, and more than a touch of whimsy. Everyone from Adonius the Stork to Zippy Snail is waiting for you. The fables tease us into realization that religion is good for you, and it's supposed to be fun.

101 Ideas for Making Disciples in Your Youth Group
by Kent JulianAs youth workers, we all have our vision—the plan we hope to make real in our ministries—to change the lives of teenagers as we introduce them to Jesus. But how often have you found yourself wondering if your picture is just wrong—or thinking you just don’t know how to make your ministry match what you envision? In 101 Ideas for Making Disciples in Your Youth Group you’ll explore the idea of ACTS to create a disciple-making ministry with the elements needed to create an environment necessary to cultivate this mission. ACTS represents everything a missional youth ministry needs to be about: • Adoration—More than an act, this is a lifestyle that is fleshed out in expressions of prayerful dependence, deep gratitude, and expectancy in what God can do. • Community—This is an atmosphere of genuine caring, authentic relationships, and unity based on Christ’s love for his Church and the Church’s love for one another. • Truth-and-Grace—The basis of everything that is taught and valued, this is a setting where God’s Word is the standard and central to belief and behavior. • Serving-and-Sharing—As a way of life, serving involves helping the whole person by ministering to both believers and the lost by meeting their needs, as well as verbally sharing God’s message of grace. As you dig into each aspect of ACTS, you’ll discover Jesus’ style and see how he cultivated each element in his own ministry. Then you’ll explore the youth ministry style of each aspect, where you’ll find 25 hands-on, easy-to-implement ideas on how to cultivate the same element in your context in order to create an environment of disciple-making that finally fits your ministry.

by Gary GreenbergGreenberg, a lawyer who's also president of the Biblical Archaeology Society of New York, explores how the myths and legends of neighboring cultures are built into the foundations of the modern monotheistic religions. He describes a long and continuous relationship between ancient Israel and Egypt, examining Old Testament stories to link Egyptian motifs and mythology to Hebrew interpretation of its earliest history. For his study, he looked for three kinds of biblical stories: those with at least two contradictory accounts; those with parallels in earlier myths and legends; and those involving incidents "that simply couldn't be true.
