Masters Or Slaves
$20.00
For most people Artificial Intelligence is the dream of sci-fi writers or the scaremongering of popular authors who suggest AI will soon surpass human intelligence. The rapid increase in computer power coupled with the availability of vast amounts of personal data has resulted in the widespread deployment of AI around the world. This significant uptake of current technology across a large range of industry and commerce, as well as by public institutions and healthcare, has created a range of ethical dilemmas. These include data privacy and freedom, the influence of AI on our personhood through to the use of human-like digital agents, the assignment of moral agency to self-drive vehicles, and the impact on work. Our response to these ethical issues will determine whether we become slaves to or masters of this technology.
Masters or Slaves? lays a theological and ethical foundation for our response by considering what the Bible teaches about our being made in God’s image, moral responsibility, the dignity of work, and idolatry. A framework for evaluating the impact of AI is proposed, starting with a taxonomy of applications reflecting different influences and challenges to humanness. A virtue approach is used for determining our responses, as individuals and as a society. The book concludes with a number of propositions as a ‘Christian manifesto’ for AI.

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.

Divine Conspiracy Continued
$14.99In this sequel to his spiritual classic The Divine Conspiracy, the late Dallas Willard, along with theologian Gary Black Jr., fulfills his revolutionary vision of how the kingdom of God is made real on earth
In The Divine Conspiracy, Dallas Willard critiqued the church’s obsessive focus on “sin management” and revolutionized how we understand Christian discipleship, revealing what it meant to “apprentice ourselves” to Jesus to truly fulfill his message that the “kingdom of God has come.”
In The Divine Conspiracy Continued, the last book he was actively working on before his death, Willard along with theologian Gary Black Jr., lays out the next stage in God’s plan for a new generation of disciples, including pastors and lay leaders, who can transform the world from the inside out. God does not call Christians to protect themselves from the world, Willard reminds us; he calls them to embrace it, to lead and serve.
Throughout his life, Willard was the teacher other leaders looked to for guidance and understanding. This remarkable volume continues his ground-breaking message, and is sure to become a cherished fount of wisdom and a new blueprint for how God’s revolution can continue into the twenty-first century.
