More books from my employer
Posted by tom | Sep 6, 2011Another glimpse into the unique nature of serving with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship/USA. . . .
Every now then, I receive a box of free books. Why? They're new titles which "my employer" thinks are of value to me as a whole person engaging the whole campus with the whole Gospel. Last week I received:
- Practicing the Way of Jesus: Life Together in the Kingdom of Love By Mark Scandrette
- God Behaving Badly: Is the God of the Old Testament Angry, Sexist and Racist? By David T. Lamb
- Are You Waiting for "The One"? Cultivating Realistic, Positive Expectations for Christian Marriage By Margaret Kim Peterson and Dwight N. Peterson
- God in a Brothel: An Undercover Journey into Sex Trafficking and Rescue By Daniel Walker
- The Parable of the Unexpected Guest (IVP Booklet) By D. A. Zimmerman
I guess it helps that "my employer," i.e., InterVarsity Christian Fellowship/USA, understands a significant aspect of it's call to be in the Word and share the Word through publishing, i.e., InterVarsity Press (IVP), not only Bible study/commentary material, but also broader application pieces (culture, family, higher education).
If you haven't heard of InterVarsity Press, take a few minutes to look at
- a few of their award winning books
- top sellers
- titles which I blog about (Note: I'll return to the above titles, in the mean time check out the Biblical Seminary interview with David T. Lamb)
- a memorial to John Stott -- an author who shared the Word with people around the world. A great blessing to the International Fellowship of Evangelical Students (IFES), which includes InterVarsity Christian Fellowship/USA.
Note: In memory of John Robert Walmsley Stott (1921 - 2011), http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=tD6JW-RnBQQ#at=23 (LanghamPartnership on Jul 27, 2011). Second memorial video can be found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_apQBnUrfTE.
