Preachers Portrait : Five New Testament Word Studies
$10.00
We need to gain in the church today a clearer view of God’s revealed ideal for the preacher,” says John Stott in his preface to The Preacher’s Portrait. In order to gain this clearer view, Stott presents brief studies of five words used in the New Testament to describe preachers and their task: steward, herald, witness, father, and servant.
In the course of these five studies, Stott considers the message and authority of preachers, the character of their proclamation, the vital necessity of their own experience with the gospel, and their motives and moral qualities. Together, these five New Testament words reveal the preacher’s portrait, says Stott– “a portrait painted by the hand of God himself on the broad canvas of the New Testament.”

Flying Falling Catching
$25.99Henri Nouwen’s never-before-published story of his surprising friendship with a traveling trapeze troupe.
During the last five years of his life, best-selling spiritual author Henri J. M. Nouwen became close to The Flying Rodleighs, a trapeze troupe in a traveling circus. Like Nouwen’s own life, a trapeze act is full of artistry, exhilarating successes, crushing failures and continual forgiveness. He wrote about his experience in a genre new to him: creative non-fiction.
In Flying, Falling, Catching, Nouwen’s colleague and friend Carolyn Whitney-Brown presents his unpublished trapeze writings framed by the true story of his rescue through a hotel window by paramedics during his first heart attack. Readers will meet Nouwen as a spiritual risk taker who was transformed through his engagement with these trapeze artists, as well as his participation in the Civil Rights movement, his life in community with people with intellectual disabilities, his personal growth through friendships during the 1990s AIDS pandemic, and other unexpected encounters.
What will we do with our lives, and with whom will we do it? In this story of flying and catching, Nouwen invites us all to let go and fly, even when we are afraid of falling.
