Redeeming Eve is both a biblical theology and a practical reflection on implementing the Bible's theological vision as to women in church and society. It is a theological argument, rooted in scripture, but it is also the story of a Church implementing the liberation of women for the purposes of God. The book calls for the liberation of women to do whatever they are gifted and called by the Spirit to do in the church and the world. Its purpose is to call churches to not only embrace, but to embody the Spirit's liberation of women to their callings. The book is written for the average believer. It is not a scholarly tract. It is a compressed, readable, and succinct statement, targeting the Bible believing evangelical churches who respect the authority of scripture. The argument targets both sexes and all adults within the churches.

This book is written for anyone who is interested in learners and the learning process. The purpose of this book is to articulate a 21st-Century philosophical learning construct called Learning-Centered Learning. This new construct builds on the ideas and works of others, while laying a foundation to improve lifelong learning environments for all. The philosophical construct of Learning-Centered Learning is built around five philosophical learning assumptions. These five learning assumptions view the learning process as multidimensional, accommodating individual learning-style characteristics, creating intrinsic motivation, and giving all learners expanded control and responsibility over their own learning. The late 1990's produced a concern for a shift toward more Learning-Centered Learning environments. This book will help clarify and amplify the current concern and focus on "learner-centered" and "learning-centered" learning. This book gives practitioners the "theory into practice" strategies needed to improve learning environments and also gives the academic audience the philosophical foundation to implement change. The book includes "assumptions into practice" strategies, personal insights and examples of real life experiences with personal anecdotes. The hope is that this book will promote a new vision and understanding about Learning-Centered Learning.

The Lepers Among Us sends a call to the Evangelical Church to stop treating believers who struggle with homosexual sin as lepers. The call is for the Church to be and become Family for all sinning Saints, including those who struggle with same-sex sins - to stop dispensing a hush-hush shame and begin mediating grace openly to all believers who struggle with gender identity issues. Like all of us, same-sex strugglers from time to time need professional counseling or a para-church group, but neither can possibly do the work of publicly and openly redeeming a life for a lifetime. Only the Church can do such a great work! It is time for the Church to host parties for those who come home to Christ's Body, declaring their desire to be healed and their willingness to repent.

Why We Don't Shoot the Wounded makes the case for the redemption and restoration of fallen church leaders and members, rather than ostracizing them through shame and guilt, or forcing them to permanently step down from their calling within a faith community. The author cites biblical precedents in the lives of leaders in Israel and the Church, and retells the story of the God who seeks to restore, and who calls all of us to become the Church who heals the wounded. Church members, he says, need to be equipped to respond when one of their own "is overtaken by a trespass, to restore such a one with a spirit of gentleness." This is done within the context of naming the sin, lifting the shame, guilt and secrecy surrounding church scandals, and then moving through the process of forgiveness, healing, accountability and restoration.

Why We Don't Shoot the Wounded

The Unfinished Drama of Scripture is a fresh retelling of the biblical narrative as a sprawling yet cohesive six-act play, in which disciples of Christ still play significant roles today.  The author asserts that theological misunderstandings occur when we do not recognize which  "act" we are living in, and therefore misconstrue God's intentions and lose our identity and mission.  He contrasts competing religious and philosophical worldviews with the True Story of the world as found in the Bible, and clearly outlines the scriptural trajectory from Creation, the Fall, Israel's calling, Jesus, the Church and the New Creation.  Through careful study from Genesis through Revelation, this is a call to grasp and live out the divine purposed that God always intended and to better know the God of the drama who pursues us with astonishing perseverance.
