Have you ever wondered how God sees your marriage and what He would say about it? If you read the Bible carefully, you will discover how God describes a variety of marriages. There's a reason He shares these marriages in detail, including some marriages that are good, some that are dysfunctional, and some that are spiteful. Marriages in the Bible, the sixth offering from Gary H. Lovejoy, Ph.D., reveals God's perspective on biblical marriages so readers may discover the essential ingredients for happy, fulfilling, lasting unions as God intended - and how to identify ways to shipwreck them!Endorsement:Every couple needs to read this book.I've read hundreds of books on marriage, and this is one of the most memorable.Dr Gary Lovejoy reminds us that there is so much to learn from the examples of others.

''Inside Harare Alcatraz and Other Short Stories affords Andrew Chatora to tell his story with more urgency than before. Chatora roars into centre stage with this charmed confluence of the novella, the essay, the treatise, the short story and the vignette. Here is a collection to startle you out of your complacency.''--Memory Chirere, University of ZimbabweIn his fourth literary offering, Andrew Chatora gives us eleven stories written in a wide range of settings and painting the lives of Zimbabweans from different walks of life. From the impenetrable Harare prison to the working class Mutare and its domain of shebeen queens to suburban Harare and a politically charged United Kingdom in a post Brexit world, Chatora takes the reader on a grand tour of outrage. Notwithstanding the shifts in scene and setting, these stories have one pervasive theme in common - they capture the suffocation and desperation of Zimbabwe and her Diaspora and fully describe the precariousness of living in environments that are increasingly hostile."Inside Harare Alcatraz and Other Short Stories" transcends the grass is never greener perspective with a nuanced interrogation of the socio-political realities of its characters. Chatora fashions a diverse cast of characters whose complexities and eccentricities evoke the utmost in us. Endorsement: Chatora writes exceptionally well on Black identity and Black experience and what it means to try and walk straight in a crooked white world.¿DAVID CHASUMBA(2023) NAMA Prize winner and author of The Mad Man of First Street and Other Short StoriesAbout the Author:Andrew Chatora grew up in the dusty streets of Dangamvura, Mutare, Zimbabwe for which he has an enduring fondness. He acknowledges it is from those formative years he got his inspiration to write, and his humble upbringing engendered his groundedness and affinity for the downtrodden and ordinary folks. Andrew also equally credits his mother for being a great storyteller, who incidentally was the repository of his early story arcs. Chatora has published three novels and is currently working on his fourth novel: Born Here, But Not In My Name. Chatora's work is critically acclaimed for its depiction of migrants and the many challenges they face. He writes well on Black identity, the Black experience and what it means to try and walk straight in a crooked white world. Chatora's third book Harare Voices and Beyond was favourably received globally and selected for a Wayfarer's Intralingo book club nomination.

I loved this book. It was simultaneously challenging and comforting. I wish I'd read it in my early years as a Christian, when I was being fed a heavy diet of 'holiness' classics that left me deflated and pessimistic. But Matt Aroney has created something rare: a call to radical transformation that won't leave you feeling guilty. His emphasis on God's work in us-as the Master Builder of all the rooms of our house-dispels the gloom and points us to the bright light of Jesus Christ, into whose image we are being made. Individual Christians and church small groups would benefit enormously from reading this little gem.-Rev. John Dickson (PhD Ancient History), Jean Kvamme Distinguished Professor of Biblical Studies and Public Christianity at Wheaton College, and host of Undeceptions.Renovated: How God makes us Christlike, explores how God is working in your life. It is difficult to see the presence of God in the complexities of life, and we may be unaware of it, but God is deeply, profoundly moving within us. We are a house, he has a renovation plan, our Father is showing us more of Jesus, so we can mirror Jesus. All of this is the work of his Spirit! It is not about what we do; it is how he is already transforming us, as Paul says in 2 Corinthians. Gain a larger vision of Jesus in your life, and of your life itself, as you learn and think about the "renovating" work of God.About the Author:Matt Aroney is passionate about God's work in the ordinary things of life. An Anglican pastor at South Head Anglican, he, his wife, and three children live in Sydney, Australia. Matt is completing his PhD in Søren Kierkegaard's theology at the University of Aberdeen. He has an MTh from Moore Theological College, Sydney.

The Stepping Stones of Spiritual Maturity explores our transformation when we bring our true selves before our Creator and the freedom resulting from choosing God's way. Interwoven with her own transformation story, author Angela Guy looks at how the Sermon on the Mount relates to and deepens the Beatitudes by describing them both as a cross-shaped path toward God's heart, and stepping stones to cross before we can continue along the path. Guy also explores the difference between who we are, compared to a righteous God in whom we learn to abide, and shows how our identity and worth are found in Jesus alone.Endorsement: Angie takes the richness found in God's Word and weaves a beautiful tapestry focused on the Sermon on the Mount. As she unravels these verses, she directs our attention to many valuable cross references and provides deeper understanding for the reader. I appreciate Angie's vulnerability, authentic heart, and her willingness to share the real struggles she has faced in her relationship with the Lord. She invites readers to search their own hearts. These pages have drawn me into a time of reflection, evaluation, and worship before the Lord. I urge readers to ask the Lord how to apply these vital truths in their own hearts and lives.¿Brenda McCord, Walk with God, podcast co-hostPrepare to be challenged because Angela asks the hard questions. Her direct approach cuts a path just wide enough to guide the reader to a place of understanding, with the intent to induce reflection and soul-searching depth. A self-proclaimed introvert, she masterfully bares her life to the reader for the sole purpose of facilitating growth, revealing a servant's heart. A must read for those seeking maturity in their walk with God.¿Jane Blasio, Author, Taken at Birth-Stolen Babies, Hidden Lies, and My Journey to Finding Home.About the Author:Angela Guy lives in northeast Ohio with her husband and four children. Raised in the church, but going her own way over the years, she has struggled much of her life with feeling seen and accepted. She loves sharing with others how God has provided her with purpose and has healed the deep hurts. She cherishes pondering God's Word in the quiet of the morning and listening to the wind rustling through the trees. The Stepping Stones of Spiritual Maturity is Angela's first book, and if it is God's plan, she would love to pursue writing more books.

Lagos, Life and Sexual Distraction is a collection of 12 short stories, mostly focused on the distinct character of life in Lagos--the commercial capital of Nigeria--but with two stories dedicated to the very different plight of people living in northern Nigeria, which suffers attacks from the Islamist insurgency Boko Haram. The book attempts to teleport the reader to Africa, to experience what an average Nigerian does to keep his or her dreams, hopes and aspirations alive. It also shows the tensions that exist between the generations, between the sexes and between different social classes and ethnicities.

Tea in the Nuns' Library presents a selection of unique journeys; beginnings, detours and arrivals, where pinpointed details and events illuminate the value of experiences. This collection of meditative, lyric poems is always on the move: from the quiet politeness of a garden lunch among roses in England and a puppet performance of Shakespeare at Stratford-upon-Avon, to Folsom Prison, the ancient Rocky mountains, and observing a coyote with a platinum tinged coat rummaging through supermarket bins in winter. Through astute observations, Jeanine Stevens reminds us that the remarkable is always around us.

In poems as tautly constructed as they are trenchantly observed, Winter, Glossolalia probes the natureof language to depict the world from which it springs.

In that sense, it is both a timelyand enduring book, one that recalls Virgil's Georgics as readily as it evokes the crisis of anthropogenicclimate change.
