Parables at Work

John C. Purdy looks at familiar aspects of daily work in an unfamiliar way, that is, in relation to the parables of Jesus. In each of twelve chapters, Purdy examines one of the parables to see what it has to say about God's kingdom--its present demands and future rewards. Then, he shows what the parable means in the workplace. Finally, in a refreshing and practical way, he combines insights from the parable and insights from work experiences to draw forth a concrete message, a distinct pattern for being faithful to God.

How can God's voice be heard amid the noise of everyday life? Based on the Gospel of Matthew, this lively book considers what it means to be "called" today when Christians have so many competing claims for their time, love, and commitment. John Purdy looks at ten challenges to Christian living, among them calls to adventure, perfection, costly obedience, and fidelity. Each chapter begins with a piece of Scripture, and expands on its relevance to our lives today.

Returning God's Call: The Challenge of Christian Living

John Knox Pr

"The face of God" is a potent metaphor, like none other. To see God's face is something more than theoretical, mystical, or conceptional--and to see it, we must look at the face of Jesus. In this innovative book, John Purdy focuses on the face of Jesus and explores twelve Gospel stories beginning with Jesus' birth and moving through his crucifixion and resurrection. Purdy shows us that by looking at Jesus, God's intentions toward us can be discerned.
