Away Game : A Christian Parent’s Guide To Navigating Youth Sports
$18.99
Transform the competitive sports field into a discipleship opportunity as you help your young athlete become not just a better player but a devoted follower of God.
If we don’t own the process of discipling our kids as they play sports, sports culture will do it for us. But as parents, we can get so consumed with our young athletes’ physical development that we miss the opportunities athletics provide to help them grow spiritually. Away Game challenges us to be more than spectators on the sidelines of our kids’ spiritual lives. Discover how to:
*Leverage sports as a platform for instilling biblical values in kids and teens.
*Keep joy, play, and gratitude at every level of your child’s athletic experience.
*Use sports involvement as an opportunity to strengthen your relationship with your child–from car-ride conversations to post-game processing.
*Spark faith-based discussions about sport-culture challenges such as handling pressure, dealing with failure, and being a next-level teammate.
*Counter the toxic elements of today’s youth sports culture by cultivating kingdom virtues like self-control, humility, and peace–in yourself and your kids.
Away Game empowers you to embrace the role of spiritual mentor throughout your child’s athletic journey as you recognize–in the margins of every practice or game–winning opportunities for spiritual growth.

Playing God : Science Religion And The Future Of Humanity

Will AI replace us?
For too long, the ‘science and religion’ debate has fixated on creation, evolution, cosmology, miracles and quantum theory. But this, argue Nick Spencer and Hannah Waite, is a mistake. Religious belief has survived, and thrived, under many different models of the universe. It was never intended to be a competing explanation for the science of any age. Where science and religion really do come together – sometimes furiously, sometimes fruitfully – is over the status and nature of the human. And that has never been more important than today.
Whether it’s the quest for immortality or the search for alien life, the treatment of pandemics or ‘animal personhood’, AI or mental health, abortion or genetic editing, science is making advances that are posing huge questions about what it means to be human, whether we should change ourselves, and how far we should ‘play God’.
These developments are only going to grow in significance. Playing God brings readers up to date with the latest developments but also draws out their moral and religious dimensions. In so doing, it shows how the future of science and religion is inextricably tied up with the future of humanity.
