Equipping a New Generation to Live Out God's Design This thorough study of the Bible's teaching on men and women aims to help a new generation of Christians live for Christ in today's world. Moving beyond other treatments that primarily focus on select passages, this winsome volume traces Scripture's overarching pattern related to male-female relationships in both the Old and New Testaments. Those interested in careful discussion rather than caustic debate will discover that God's design is not confining or discriminatory but beautiful, wise, liberating, and good.
"Mr. Collins is a funny writer [who puts] his finger on exactly what…makes Japan bewildering, endearing, amusing inspiring…" —The New York Times Follow the adventures of Tokyo’s favorite expatriate Max Danger, as he weaves his way in and out of the intricacies and dilemmas of living in Japan from baffling bilingual breakfast meetings, through the mind-boggling enigmas of doing business in Japan, to the dubious pleasures of late-night hostess clubs. Max Danger seems to exhaust himself just trying to make it through the day.
O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, thank you for hiding these things from those who think themselves wise and clever, and for revealing them to the childlike. Yes, Father, it pleased you to do it this way. (JESUS) This book, crayons and cartoons notwithstanding, really isn’t a children’s book. Yet, at its heart, that’s exactly what it is. It’s kind of hard to explain, which is probably why the author uses so many colors and pictures, though that’s not the only reason. As a starting point, let’s agree it’s a book (alphabet!) for kids of all ages, especially those who have experienced a few more birthday parties and Christmas mornings. And for Anderson’s first word, play, it is also a book filled with truth that is for all times, all places, and all people . . . all ages. After all, the eternal words of Jesus will be front and center from start to finish. The call of Jesus to his kingdom requires we become and live childlike. So what does that sound like, look like, and live like? Oh . . . and play like? You are invited, by the King, to enter The Childlike Kingdom!
