Jesus for President: Politics for Ordinary Radicals – £1.99 0 comments

Jesus for President is a radical manifesto to awaken the Christian political imagination, reminding us that our ultimate hope lies not in partisan political options but in Jesus and the incarnation of the peculiar politic of the church as a people ‘set apart’ from this world.
In what can be termed lyrical theology, Jesus for President poetically weaves together words and images to sing (rather than dictate) its message. It is a collaboration of Shane Claiborne’s writing and stories, Chris Haw’s reflections and research, and Chico Fajardo-Heflin’s art and design. Drawing upon the work of biblical theologians, the lessons of church history, and the examples of modern-day saints and ordinary radicals, Jesus for President stirs the imagination of what the Church could look like if it placed its faith in Jesus instead of Caesar.
A fresh look at Christianity and empire, Jesus for President transcends questions of ‘Should I vote or not?’ and ‘Which candidate?’ by thinking creatively about the fundamental issues of faith and allegiance. It’s written for those who seek to follow Jesus, rediscover the spirit of the early church, and incarnate the kingdom of God. You can purchase this book for only £1.99 today.

Free now: Christians and the Common Good: How Faith Intersects with Public Life - from Brazos Press, a faith-based publisher
Always confirm price before purchase. Many free and reduced books are offered for a limited time only and only in some geographical regions.
 
Christians across the spectrum have soured on religious involvement in politics, tempted either to withdraw or to secularize their public engagement. Yet the kingdom of God is clearly concerned with justice and communal well-being. How can Christians be active in public life without getting mired down in political polarization and controversy?
For too long, the question of faith in public life has centered on what the Bible says about government. Charles Gutenson, a theologian respected by both evangelical and mainline Christians, argues that we should first ask how God intends for us to live together before considering the public policies and institutions that would best empower living together in that way. By concentrating on the nature of God, we can move past presuppositions regarding the role of government and engage in healthy discussions about how best to serve the common good. This lucidly written book includes a foreword by bestselling author Jim Wallis.

In the Land of Invisible Women: A Female Doctor’s Journey in the Saudi Kingdom – £1.98 0 comments

The decisions that change your life are often the most impulsive ones.
Unexpectedly denied a visa to remain in the United States, Qanta Ahmed, a young British Muslim doctor, becomes an outcast in motion. On a whim, she accepts an exciting position in Saudi Arabia. This is not just a new job; this is a chance at adventure in an exotic land she thinks she understands, a place she hopes she will belong.
What she discovers is vastly different. The Kingdom is a world apart, a land of unparralled contrast. She finds rejection and scorn in the places she believed would most embrace her, but also humor, honesty, loyalty and love.
And for Qanta, more than anything, it is a land of opportunity. A place where she discovers what it takes for one woman to recreate herself in the land of invisible women.
You can read Dr. Ahmed’s story on your Kindle today when you buy this book for £1.98.

Hide and Seek: The Irish Priest in the Vatican who Defied the Nazi Command. The dramatic true story of rivalry and survival during WWII. 0 comments

A true story of war, peace and friendship: a Nazi colonel and an Irish priest. At the outbreak of WWII, when ardent Nazi Herbert Kappler and Monsignor Hugh O’Flaherty became adversaries in a real-life game of ‘cat and mouse’ of epic proportions. Hide and Seek chronicles the intimate and intensely personal war between them.
In July 1943 Rome was bombed for the first time during the war. As the swastika flew above the city, it was a moment of choice: collaborate and compromise, or resist and revolt. O’Flaherty decided to quietly resist and fight the new rulers.
Dubbed ‘Ireland’s Oscar Schindler’, he masterminded a large-scale operation from within the Vatican to help Jews and escaped Allied prisoners on the run from the Nazis. He used a series of safe houses and church buildings and sheltered around 500 Jews in the Holy See, and it is believed that sanctuary was found for some 4000 Jews across Rome, and 4000 Allied escapees.
After the Resistance killed 32 German soldiers in a bombing, Hitler declared that he wanted a revenge attack. He instructed Kappler to draw up plans and 335 people were executed in the Ardeatine Caves.
Kappler’s handiwork would remain secret until Rome was liberated in June 1944. You can purchase this book today for £3.99 to learn the rest of the story.
