Biographies & Memoirs

With a helpful amount of scholarly information, Bellinger explores the depths of the poetry and wisdom of Psalms, Proverbs, Job, and Ecclesiastes. The Psalms, or hymns, of lament and praise nurture honest dialogue with God. The pragmatic teaching of Proverbs reminds us of the sacred nature of all that God has created. And the speculation of Job and Ecclesiastes allows us to raise questions about the unexplainable and ambiguous aspects of life. These are texts from the community of faith for the community of faith.

Walter B. Shurden presents a heritage of denominational controversy and shows how this history continues to shape and affect Baptists today, in this second edition. First published in 1972, this revision includes an additional chapter, a second preface and gender-free language throughout the text. "If religious controversy is an index of how much people care, then Baptists care more than any group in the world. Nothing can be understood until you know its history. For that reason, the Baptist heritage matters." — From the Preface Walter B. Shurden is Minister at Large with Mercer University. He is author of numerous books including The Baptist Identity: Four Fragile Freedoms, Not a Silent People: Controversies that Have Shaped Southern Baptists and the five-volume Proclaiming the Baptist Vision set.

Bugg addresses some of life's toughest questions and sheds biblical insight on them. Reading this book is like talking with a good friend or counselor. He uses Scripture to support ideas, rather than taking a sermonic viewpoint. It is an excellent example of preaching that touches lives and makes a difference for readers.

Reading the Signs: A Sensible Approach to Revelation and Other Apocalyptic Writings

Smith, T. C.

"The authors take us beyond Kierkegaard's famous analogy in which Christian worship is portrayed as a drama (congregation as actors, ministers and worship leaders as prompters, and God himself as the audience). Here, the language of dialogue "suggests interactive communication. The emphasis is not upon talking to God, but with God. There is anticipated dialogical give-and-take. Both revelation and response are present."" Carl L. Stam, reformedworship.org, Dec. 1998 "The authors come from a Baptist background; a strong point of the book is that it deals with primary themes of church life and mentions practices of multiple worship styles, so that worship leaders who "find resonance with the dialogical model advocated in these pages may use their own creativity to design ways to implement it within their own traditions." If you accept that Isaiah 6 - the basis for the dialogical model - has something to teach us about biblical worship, you will find this book useful whether your background is liturgical, charismatic, independent, mainline, or anything else.Though dealing with issues of great importance, the book is not difficult to follow. I recommend it to all who are planning and leading public worship services, and to those in training to fill those roles." --reviewed by Paul Neeley,
