Award-winning author and Bible teacher David Jeremiah says this is no time for his Church to panic, to become distracted, to be confused by prophetic rabbit trails, or to miss priceless opportunities. In fact, these may be the best days to proclaim Christ since the first century. Previously titled Until I Come, this book helps readers listen for, and hear, the master's voice even in the midst of chaos.

Episcopalians consider themselves to be people whose individual and corporate lives are shaped by the Book of Common Prayer, but aside from worship on Sunday morning, few know what fills its nearly 1,000 pages. John Westerhoff, Episcopal priest and Christian educator, walks readers through the ways in which the contents of the Prayer Book can (and should) shape the life of those who call themselves Episcopalians. An excellent resource for parish study or reading in advance of seminary training, Westerhoff explores a brief history of the Prayer Book, and the ways in which it shapes us as pilgrim and prayerful people. How Episcopalians live into their baptism, live a Eucharistic and reconciling life, as well as a life of wholeness and health are explored in detail. All of this, as Westerhoff writes, helps us lead a holy life, and one day, to a holy death. John H. Westerhoff is an Episcopal priest, the former professor of theology and Christian nurture at Duke University, the author of many books about Christian education and life. For the last decade he has been theologian-in-residence at St. Luke's Episcopal Church in Atlanta, Georgia..

It's unavoidable--every time we surf the Web we are bombarded with temptations vying for our thoughts, dreams, time, and money. As a high-ranking government computer security expert and an avid personal Internet user, Daniel Lohrmann knows these lures well. In Virtual Integrity, he sets out to answer an important question: How can we safely surf our values? Approachable and essential for all Web users, this book reveals the vast scope of the current battle, creative new answers to the problem, and practical steps everyone can follow. Delving into more than just commonly discussed issues of Internet gambling and pornography, Lohrmann offers a rare holistic vision for how to avoid "integrity theft" and unpacks a revolutionary new paradigm for integrity security. EXCERPT Over the past 24 years, I've led teams building websites and customer-focused portals that have changed the way citizens and businesses interact with government - for the better. Since working for the National Security Agency in the 1980s, I've circled the globe fixing computers, battling hackers, stopping computer viruses, and taking on a never-ending list of "bad guys." America still faces serious challenges from foreign threats, and many books have been written and websites developed on all aspects of cybersecurity, organized crime, and protecting your confidential information. I've seen firsthand a lot of these threats and abuses of Internet capabilities. But in the past few years, an even more troubling trend has grabbed my attention. I am referring to an extraordinary increase in the numbers of temptations we face in cyberspace. New seductions are cleverly packaged as "innovative opportunities" that are really appeals to engage in unproductive, harmful, even immoral activities online. A much wider set of questions have arisen that can't be answered by simply blocking spam, installing web filters, or upgrading your antivirus software and PC firewall. These virtual threats can have the net effect of taking away some of the most important things in life. As individuals, institutions, and a nation, we spend significant time battling identity theft online, but we neglect to fight other negative aspects of Internet life that I call "integrity theft." We need a new approach to virtual integrity..

“Weaving together a moving personal story, profound psychological understandings, and brilliant theological insights, Michael Duffy emerges in this book to join the voices rethinking the Christian story for the twenty-first century. I recommend this book enthusiastically.” —John Shelby Spong, best-selling author of The Sins of Scripture: Exposing the Bible’s Texts of Hate to Reveal the God of Love “I was hooked by page two. Duffy’s creative weaving together of his own story with thoughtful theological analysis makes this book something of an anomaly, a religious page-turner. At a time when ideological and theological certainty stops most conversations before they begin, Michael Duffy has written a thoughtful, important, accessible, and helpful book.” —John M. Buchanan, Publisher of The Christian Century and Senior Pastor of Fourth Presbyterian Church, Chicago “Michael Duffy offers a lucid and accessible exploration of the nature of Christian faith, bravely probing questions that are too rarely asked by believers: What is true faith? How do I really know what God wants of me? Is faith really the absence of doubt? The result is an honest and oftentimes moving book that will be highly useful to individual Christians and church groups as they work through central issues of faith.” —Timothy M. Renick, Georgia State University, recipient of the American Academy of Religion’s 2004 Award for Excellence in Teaching “This is the best introduction to theological method I know of. And it is theological method not in the abstract, but rather for the more pragmatic purpose of living a good life. Those who teach undergraduate Christian theology and ethics courses have a terrific new resource.” —Betty DeBerg, Professor of Religion, University of Northern Iowa “This book embodies the conviction that theology is not a discipline reserved for academic scholars but a Christian practice shared by all believers, however skeptical and ambivalent. This fine volume offers a simple, yet significant, method of theological analysis and invites the reader into the theological endeavor through an interactive approach. The reader may not agree with every claim Duffy makes (this reader did not), but that is not really the point of the book. The point is to engage in dialogue concerning the fundamental question of how we orient ourselves in the world. Those who find theology esoteric and suspect that it is irrelevant will change their minds after encountering this skeptical, passionate Christian.” —Timothy A. Beach-Verhey, Director, Programs for the Theological Exploration of Vocation, Davidson College In the tone of a much-loved college chaplain, Michael F. Duffy takes his readers through a personal theological journey, exploring what it means to discern and live out a thoughtful, informed, and responsible faith. Encouraging Christians to develop and commit themselves to a critically developed vision of God, Duffy introduces the basic intents, questions, and conversation partners in theology, providing guidance on how to responsibly engage each one. Finally, he utilizes the skills he introduces to lead his readers through an exploration of vocation—whether God calls, whether God calls each of us individually, and, if so, what God calls us to..

Book two of the Frost Saga continues the exciting nautical adventures launched in The Private Revolution of Geoffrey Frost, hailed as "an auspicious start" by Library Journal and now available in paperback.

Mariner, merchant, and reluctant warrior, Geoffrey Frost has entered the American Revolution on behalf of the colony of New Hampshire, commanding a captured British sloop o' war and sailing out of Portsmouth to harass the British fleet. As Audacity opens, he is returning from Canada following a daring rescue of American prisoners held at Louisburg when he sails into a fog bank -- and straight into a British convoy shepherded by a thirty-two gun frigate.

In serving the American cause, Frost will impersonate a British merchant, capture several supply ships, order the execution of some of his own countrymen who have turned pirate and renegade, and perform an extraordinary feat of navigation in order to restore two men to the ship of the great explorer Captain James Cook. He will also meet the beguiling and exasperating Lady Cygnet, an opera singer, who promises to enliven and complicate Frost's life in future volumes..
