40 Questions About Divine Election
$24.99
What is divine election? Who are the elect? And where does human will fit into all this?
The doctrine of election has been a major point of contention within the Church. Indeed, in the last 500 years since the Reformation, the doctrine of election has been a point of contention. So much so that many of the denominations that we see spread around the world are the consequence of differing understandings of what election means, and what implications it has on our lives. In 40 Questions About Divine Election, author Daniel Kirkpatrick guides the reader through the many facets of election by providing a robust description of the doctrine through the Biblical and historical witness. Through question and answer format, Kirkpatrick artfully defines election while simultaneously describing and navigating opposing views and their implications. These questions include:
*Is Election Rooted in the Divine or Human Will?
*Is Election Conditional or Unconditional?
*How Does Human Will Reconcile with Divine Will in Election?
*Does God Elect Some People to Hell?
In this book, the reader is invited to wrestle with their own understanding of election and are encouraged to apply that understanding to their lives. In the end, election is about God’s sovereignty, and the question the author invites us to ask, is what that sovereignty means for humanity.

Mothers And Daughters Of The Bible Speak
$16.97God always keeps His promises, but not always in the way we expect….
“Have faith” is a phrase we hear all the time. But what does it actually look like to live it out? In The Mothers and Daughters of the Bible Speak, Shannon Bream examines the lives of biblical women to see how God’s plans can turn our worlds upside down. She tells the story of Jochebed, a mother who took enormous risks to protect her son, Moses, from Pharaoh. Could Jochebed have imagined that God’s actual design for her son involved flight into exile and danger? And yet this was all part of the master plan to deliver Israel from slavery. Another biblical mother, Rebekah, made terrible choices in an attempt to ensure her son’s place in history. And a daughter, Michal, struggled to keep her faithless father, Saul, from sin, while battling pride in herself.
Through these stories, Shannon explains the intimate connection between faith and family–and how God’s unexpected agenda can redefine the way we think about family. Not all of these mothers and daughters in the Bible were paragons of virtue. Like us, they were human beings who faltered and struggled to do their best. While some heard God’s voice, others chose their own paths. Through the lens of their imperfections, we can see how God used their stories to bring about His divine plans. He’s still doing the same work in our lives today.
The Mothers and Daughters of the Bible Speak shows that faith is more often a twisting road than a straight line. Yet, as the stories of biblical families attest, at the end of these journeys lies greater peace and joy than we could ever imagine.
