A More Christlike God


Book Description

Whether our notions of ‘god’ are personal projections or inherited traditions, author and theologian Brad Jersak proposes a radical reassessment, arguing for A More Christlike God: a More Beautiful Gospel. If Christ is “the image of the invisible God, the radiance of God’s glory and exact representation of God’s likeness,” what if we conceived of God as completely Christlike—the perfect Incarnation of self-giving, radically forgiving, co-suffering love? What if God has always been and forever will be ‘cruciform’ (cross-shaped) in his character and actions? A More Christlike God suggests that such a God would be very good news indeed—a God who Jesus “unwrathed” from dead religion, a Love that is always toward us, and a Grace that pours into this suffering world through willing, human partners.




The Mission of God: A Manifesto of Hope for Society

Conference of the Birds


Book Description

First written in the 12th century, Conference of the Birds is an allegory of extreme measures for extreme times -- the story of birds seeking a king is the story of all of us seeking God. Like the birds, we may be excited for the journey, until we realize that we must give up our fears and hollow desires, that our journey will be long and hard. Like the duck, we may not wish to leave the water. Like the nightingale, we may want to stay close to our roses. Direct and to the point, Masani's translation, made in the early part of the 19th century, is particularly apropos for our early 21st century times -- both are periods of intense spiritual seeking.

MISS NAN spent many years in the educational field. She started as an English teacher, moved into administration, and served as president of a private junior college in Jackson, Mississippi, for twenty years, a position from which she retired in 1995. It was in Jackson that she found her true calling, teaching the Word of God in a local church, Colonial Heights Baptist Church. Soon after becoming a member, she began to teach Sunday School, first to older women and currently to younger women, during a span of over thirty years. Throughout the years she has taught men and women of all ages in other Bible studies, particularly studies concerning end times. Soon after she began to teach prophecy, she came to understand that no one book tells the whole story. God's events-now and forever-are presented from Genesis through The Revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ. She has pieced together God's plan by consulting the whole Bible. Some people may not hold all the views Miss Nan has presented, but it is important to understand that she wrote what God laid on her heart as she studied His Word.
