Enjoying the human journey through this world can seem impossible. So much is going wrong in these dark days. And the daily personal demands never let up. Who has the time—much less the freedom of heart—to play, to laugh, to delight? What's more, those following Christ can also feel duty-bound to live in sacrificial austerity. But God's strategy for wise living includes bold enjoyment. In fact, any "Christianity" that feels embarrassed about enjoying God's good gifts dishonors him and leaves Christians with less to give their suffering world.

The Church has a discipleship problem. Not because people don't love God, but because many have never been shown how to follow Him. In today's culture, it is possible to attend church, hear powerful messages, and still remain spiritually stagnant. Many believers desire growth but resist the structure required to achieve it. They want the promises of God without the process of discipleship. But Jesus never called us to casual Christianity. He called us to follow Him.

We were created by an infinitely creative God to reflect his love and character to the world. One way we do that is by continuing his creative work. In this energizing book, serial entrepreneur and best-selling author Jordan Raynor helps artists, entrepreneurs, writers, and other creatives re-imagine our work as service to God and others, addressing such penetrating questions as: Is my work as a creative really as God-honoring as that of a pastor or missionary? Will what I make today matter in eternity?

We were sold a vision of our hyper-technological era as one that would see our biggest problems solved and our greatest ailments treated. But despite the promise of cancer cures and flying cars, it is our cortisol levels that have soared. We are drained by our devices, bewildered by social-media fights, and battle guilt while scrolling through texts from our parent group over how just a single fast-food cheeseburger can break a child’s health for a lifetime.

In love, Jesus came to redeem sinful people and restore a fallen world, and he invites all of his followers to join this good work. But how can believers effectively care for their neighbors when life is so marred by sin and suffering? Is it possible for ordinary Christians to participate in God’s mission to restore a broken world? From a theological perspective, Go and Do Likewise explores God’s grand story of redemption to uncover how ordinary Christians can extend God’s compassion to those in need.

The most urgent call upon God?s people is to live as followers of Jesus. The most indicting critique against the church is as simple: its failure to do so. We long to renew our hope for a world broken and hurting. And it is we, God's people living in the power of the Holy Spirit, who are called to become this hope and flourish while in exile. Here is the crisis: we are made and redeemed for this calling, but it slides through our fingers.

Trial and tribulation are nothing new to Vera Simpson Gaines. When her mother sickened and died when Vera was a young girl, the effects were devastating, yet she managed to come through with her sanity intact and a strong sense of determination which served her well in later years as she faced more difficulties.

Moses never wanted to be a leader. Jonah ran away from his mission's call. And when Marcia Moston's husband came home with a call to foreign missions, she was sure God had the wrong number. His call conflicted with her own dreams, demanded credentials she didn't have, and required courage she couldn't seem to find. She promised to follow where God led, but she never thought the road would lead to a Mayan village on a Guatemalan mountainside.

Nursing is a vocation: a calling from God to care for others. The role of the nurse originally grew out of a holistic Christian understanding of humans as created in the image of God. Now more than ever, we need nurses who are committed both to a solid understanding of their profession and to caring well for patients and their families. In this third edition Judith Allen Shelly and Arlene B. Miller, now joined by coauthor Kimberly H. Fenstermacher, present a definition for nursing based on a historically and theologically grounded vision of the nurse's call.
