| Anabaptists have long understood that how one lives, rather than what he or she says, is the most accurate description of what one believes This is particularly true in the care of a Christian's use of money. The theological foundation for a Christian's view of money is clearly stated in A Christian View of Money. This volume could profitably be used as a new believer's guide to faith and doctrine. Author Mark Vincent refuses to bless either avarice or accumulation. Many will be challenged by his clear direction for change. Copyright 2007 | |

| This study book is on time-but not time management. You don't
need another organizational tool or trick. What you'll study in these
pages is our society's inclination toward busyness-and what that means
to the Christian seeking God and wholeness. Each chapter ends with
discussion questions you can answer as a group or individually, that
will help you identify areas where you may need to do some repair work.

call "salvation geography." God's design in salvation history is for a

| "You never quite know where you will find Lynn Miller-teaching in
Nebraska, worshipping in Zimbabwe, studying in Chicago, or visiting at
the bus station. But, where he is, Lynn notices relationships. The
connective tissue between people, possessions, faith, finances,
Scripture, culture, labor, and leisure captures his attention.
Equipped with a healthy passion, Lynn mines these connections for
meaning and promise. My appreciation of Lynn and his message grows as
it is evident that the truth of God's 'enough' clearly shapes Lynn's
daily life as well as his teaching and writing" --Ed Taylor,

paycheck instead of what is left after expenses. It is giving God
freely of our time, not what is left over after job and family
responsibilities. It is giving God our lives, living each day as God's

| Enough? What a concept! Our society seems to say, "You Need
More. More is better." Our Christian faith tells us not that we need
less, but that everyone should have enough. A simple idea-enough for
everyone. But what is enough? Basic Trek invites us to
explore that question. In thought and in experience. Each day of this
28-day journey starts with a story and Scripture followed by reflection
questions to consider and actions to try. A different theme is
featured for each of the four weeks. The first wee you will awaken to
the journey to find enough joy, the second week you step out to explore
enough simplicity, the third week you lighten the pack in your search
for enough for me, and the fourth week you stay the course to discover
enough for all. Take this trek with friends-a youth group, a dorm
wing, friends from church, or trek as a family-and venture into a world
of enough. Copyright 2002. | |

Theology
| Recent years have seen a shift in the belief that a religious
world-view, specifically a Christian one, precludes a commitment to
environmentalism. Whether as "stewards of God's creation" or champions
of "environmental justice," church members have increasingly found that
a strong pro-ecology stand on environmental issues is an integral
component of their faith. But not all Christian denominations are
latecomers to the issue of environmentalism. In Creation and the
Environment, Calvin Redekop and his coauthors explain the unique
environmental position of the Anabaptists. In rural Amish and
Mennonite communities, the authors explain, the environment—especially
the land—is considered part of the Kingdom that God will establish on
Earth. Creation and human history are thus seen as completely
interdependent. Copyright 2000 John Hopkins University Press | |

| Based on Genesis 1 story of creation, Joanne Moyer uses the seven
days of creation as a basis for exploring the aspects of our created
world, how it is threatened, what is being done to protect it, and
further actions that individuals, households, and congregations can
take to live more sustainably. Moyer also explores how ecological
concern and justice relate to Christian faith, delving into the Bible
and a broad range of thinkers and writers to discover and celebrate the
ecological imperative of our faith tradition. Not only does
creation reveal God and provide a place for encounter with God, but it
praises God. The earth makes a joyful noise (Ps. 66:1) and sings a new
song to the Lord (Ps. 96:1), trees clap their hands (Isa. 55:12), the
sea roars, fields exult (Ps. 96:11-12) and hills sing together for joy
(Ps. 98:8). Can you hear creation's praise in the song of the bird, in
the roaring of the storm, in the waves lapping on the shore?

| Stewardship for All | View shopping basket |

paperback, 104 pages, $6.95

Cover...
| Stewardship is an attitude and practice taught in the Bible
regarding all of one's possessions-time, money, abilities. But does
stewardship have a place in our world? If so, Why? This book brings
together two voices from two vastly different parts of the world to
talk about the subject. Bedru Hussein is from Ethiopia; Lynn Miller
from the United States. They are both Christian leaders, but their
exposure to and experiences with stewardship couldn't be at greater
extremes. Their cultures' standards of living, income levels,
frameworks, and histories are wildly different. Naturally, their
setting and circumstances affect what they think the Old and New
Testaments say about this issue. This book is for those Christians
who are hearing for the first time that their resources whatever their
size, do not ultimately belong to them. The book is for those
Christians who have heard that theme too often, who are exhausted by
hearing that they have too much. A group of stories concludes the
book. They are life experiences from churches and individuals (from
Belize, Indonesia, Paraguay, Ethiopia, and the U.S.) and show candidly
how stewardship is practiced in these particular places today.
