Rescuing Darwin argues that Darwin and his theory have become caught in the crossfire of a philosophical and theological battle in which he himself had little personal interest. On the one side stands a handful of modern Darwinians who insist that evolution has killed God and ideas of design, purpose, morality and humanity. On the other side are their mainly, but not exclusively, religious opponents who, unwilling to adopt such a bleak vision, cite Genesis and Intelligent Design as evidence of evolution's deficiency.

Can welding a gatepost bring glory to God? Does ironing your children's uniforms help you grow as a disciple? Will your new crime prevention strategy do anything to further the kingdom?

To all three Ian Coffey says a resounding 'yes'. With lively Bible teaching and drawing on a wealth of real-life stories, he shows how work was part of God's good plan for men and women - given to us so we can make a creative contribution in his world.

Whatever your work, God is interested in it, God can transform it, and God wants to use it - for his glory.

So many of us avoid radical discipleship by being selective, choosing rather those areas in which commitment is appealing, and steering well clear of areas where it will be costly.

But because Jesus is Lord, we have no liberty to pick and choose.

The author looks at eight characteristics of Christian discipleship, which are commonly neglected yet deserve to be taken seriously.

Day one in the new job. You're keen, you're nervous and your new shoes are pinching. Will you get there on time? Will you fit in? And will you be competent - or clueless?

So who is this man, named by Time magazine in 2005 as one of the 100 most influential people in the world?

His life could have been so different. Born to privilege, John Stott focused instead on service to God and other people. 'I am going to throw myself body and soul into the struggle for right,' he wrote to his father as a twenty-year-old. 'My desire is to see the world a better place, and I will not spare myself'

He didn't...

In Lion's Questions of Faith series, Brian explores what it means to follow Jesus within today's culture. He offers suggestions for travelling with grace along the journey of life and faith. This attractively illustrated and thoughtfully written book is one of the very few that could be given happily to anyone seeking to explore questions of faith.

Now John Stott tells his spiritual story, and gives the reasons for his first life-changing step of faith on the path he has followed since that day. It was not so much that he found Christ, as that Christ found him.

The Contemporary Christian is John Stott's definitive and passionate plea to the church. Before we attempt to teach or evangelise, he urges, we must listen to God's Word and God's world. Only then will we be able to communicate the authentic gospel effectively.

This book reports on research into the varied beliefs and understandings of people who have no committed or formalised faith - revealing in detail people's belief, unbelief and longings in a way not known before.

How can Christians respond to honest doubts and criticisms in a way
that is faithful and relevant? In four sections, God, Christianity,
Christians and Church, Nick summarises and analyses the research from his
books, Beyond Belief? and Beyond the Fringe, describing current popular
attitudes to these four topics. Then Graham helps us to see just what God
is saying through his word and the Holy Spirit as we listen to the voice of
our critics. Alister McGrath, in his foreword, says that 'Spencer and
Tomlin have done the church an immense service by showing how it can respond
to change while remaining faithful to the gospel'

Silvoso's inspiring book shows why it's time to break down the wall between labor and religious service, and view labor as worship, just as God intended. Only then can we extend God's kingdom to every corner of our world.

In a frantic, driven culture few studies will prove more rewarding and liberating than these rich, practical explorations of how Sabbath principles can reorder our time, refocus our priorities and refresh our spirits.

The third edition of this highly influential contemporary classic features an updated resource section and a new chapter on integrating life and work, helping us see how our work life, as well as our weekend life, can be lived fruitfully for God.

Wherever you spend your working day - whether that's in the boardroom, the classroom, the office, shop floor or as a full-time homemaker this book will help you address all the key issues. It will help you to transform your work, your family, your work colleagues, your faith and even your boss!

This fully revised edition (2006) of John Stott's classic work continues to provide a biblical basis for Christian ethical involvement in society, looking at global issues of war, inequality and human rights, issues of work, race and lifestyle as well as social issues of gender, sex, abortion and euthanasia. There's a brand new chapter by John Wyatt on bio-engineering.

If the church is to have an impact on our society, it must learn to make disciples not converts. This is a rich and practical collection of essays from fifteen multi-disciplinary experts and practitioners representing a breadth of churchmanship who reflect deeply on this key issue for the UK church: how can we grow whole-life missionary disciples and disciple-makers who can make a difference in today's rapidly changing world

This is an utterly compelling exploration of Colossians. It brings the text alive in the context of the Roman Empire of the 1st century and shows how the letter's understanding of the Gospel of Christ applies so sharply to the consumerist empires of the 21st century.

Reflecting on a worldwide ministry that led Time magazine to acknowledge him as one of the '100 Most Influential People in the World,' John Stott alerts a church that is in transition to the marks of a church that is living. Becoming a living church is not an impossible goal. John unpacks the Bible's wisdom rigorously with a teacher's skill and applies it faithfully with a pastor's heart, laying down a challenge to build churches which are based on Scripture but ones which are radical and relevant in today's culture.

Long working hours, travel, and ever-evolving gadgets connecting us to an always-on world leave many people snapped of energy and far too tired. Families and friends often get the dregs of lives worn out by work. Paul Valler uncovers the root causes and shows us how gaining a strong identity and clear purpose enables us to make winning choices.

Pop music, piercings and peers.

The familiar issues that create conflict between parents and children belie the rapid rate of cultural change surrounding family life. As society alters beyond recognition, the gap between young and old threatens to become a deep fracture in the heart of families, communities - and churches.

Summary:

Why would anyone become a Christian today? Why, when God is dead, religion a cause of global conflict, and the Church inflexible, irrelevant and illiberal, would anyone in his right mind embrace the Christian faith? They do and Journeys and Stories explores why. The result of a year-long research project conducted by LICC and a ecumenical group in Scotland, it follows and analyses the journeys and stories of over 40 Scottish men and women on their varied, often meandering, sometimes heart-breaking, but mostly inspiring journeys towards God.

A huge critical and commercial success, Apple's portable MP3 player and companion iTunes music service has revolutionised the way we buy and listen to music.
