Always with Us?: What Jesus Really Said about the Poor (Prophetic Christianity Series (PC))
by Liz Theoharis William BarberA strong theological call for ending the abomination of systemic poverty Jesus's words "the poor you will always have with you" (Matthew 26:11) are regularly used to suggest that ending poverty is impossible, that poverty is a result of moral failures, and that the poor themselves have no role in changing their situation. In this book Liz Theoharis examines both the biblical text and the lived reality of the poor to show how that passage is taken out of context, distorted, and politicized to justify theories about the inevitability of inequality. Theoharis reinterprets "the poor you will always have with you" to show that it is actually one of the strongest biblical mandates to end poverty. She documents stories of poor people themselves organizing to improve their lot and illuminates the implications for the church. Poverty is not inevitable, Theoharis argues. It is a systemic sin, and all Christians have a responsibility to partner with the poor to end poverty once and for all.

It’s a declaration that we will never be enough for this world because we were not created for this world. Instead, Grace reminds us that we were created by Someone better for something better.

Am I Good Enough? Preparing for Life's Final Exam: Preparing for Life's Final Exam (LifeChange Books)
by Andy StanleyI Ask Myself Every Day. Am I Good Enough?" Christians claim that Jesus is the only way to heaven. But how could a good God, who created the entire universe in all its diversity, be so limiting? Is Christianity unfair? Isn't it more fitting to believe that good people from any religious or nonreligious background go to heaven, rather than people from one particular belief system? Maybe not, says Andy Stanley. In this updated edition of the bestselling book, teen readers will find out why Jesus taught that goodness is not even a requirement to enter heaven--and why Christianity is beyond fair. Andy Stanley leads the next generation of young people to a grateful awareness of God's enormous grace and mercy. If only good people go to heaven, would I make the cut? If Christianity is true, why is God so narrow-minded? And why aren't the answers obvious?! They are. Find out why being good enough has nothing to do with heaven's requirements, and why God is, in fact, not fair at all. Story Behind the Book: Andy Stanley has a heart for families and a special place for today's youth. Having served for many years as a youth and young adult pastor at a large church in Atlanta, his greatest goal was to lead a young person to Christ. With the success of his book How Good Is Good Enough and its acceptance as a widely used evangelistic tool, it was a natural step to refine this important question for the youth of today. Andy wanted to write a text that was aimed right at the heart of today's young culture and put a cover on the book that would interest and attract them to it. Today's youth are constantly looking for assurances in a crazy world. They get that assurance by learning that it is not how good you are, but that you are forgiven.
Am I Not Still God?
by Kathy TroccoliWe all can identify with the experience of facing one of life's storms and crying out to God for an answer. However, if we listen closely, we hear Him provide not an answer but rather another question- "Am I Not Still God?" It is perhaps the only question that matters. How you answer it may shape the rest of your life. Using examples from her own experience, Kathy Troccoli shares how God is unconcerned with explaining Himself-instead He is concerned with demonstrating love and developing a holy character in us. She details God as the ultimate shelter in the face of the most violent storms. As these painful trials are allowed into our life He promises we will never suffer in vain.

Am I a Jew? Lost Tribes, Lapsed Jews, and One Man's Search for Himself
by Theodore RossWhat makes someone Jewish? Theodore Ross was nine years old when he moved with his mother from New York City to the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Once there, his mother decided, for both personal and spiritual reasons, to have her family pretend not to be Jewish. He went to an Episcopal school, where he studied the New Testament, sang in the choir, and even took Communion. Later, as an adult, he wondered: Am I still Jewish? Seeking an answer, Ross traveled around the country and to Israel, visiting a wide variety of Jewish communities. From “Crypto-Jews” in New Mexico and secluded ultra-devout Orthodox towns in upstate New York to a rare Classical Reform congregation in Kansas City, Ross tries to understand himself by experiencing the diversity of Judaism. Quirky and self-aware, introspective and impassioned, Am I a Jew? is a story about the universal struggle to define a relationship (or lack thereof) with religion. .
