ReEnchanting The Text
$24.99Add to cartIn an age where the Bible has been stripped of its sacredness and functional biblical illiteracy reigns, this book makes the case that we must work to re-enchant the text in order to return the Bible to its rightful place in the lives of Christians. The author shows how the Enlightenment misshapes our interpretations of the Bible and explains that both “liberal” and “fundamentalist” interpretation are failed forms of disenchanted readings. We must rediscover the Bible as sacred, dangerous, and mysterious to counteract biblical illiteracy in an increasingly post-Christian landscape.

7 Transforming Gifts Of Menopause
$17.99Add to cartMenopause is a dramatic but largely overlooked developmental window to the second half of life. Although today’s women are more aware of and actively involved in mapping their menopausal journey than generations before, many still do not see menopause as a time of important psychological and spiritual transformation.
This book goes far beyond hot flashes and gets to the very heart of the midlife journey, helping women find their unique voice and speak their truth in an era of #MeToo and #ChurchToo. Coming alongside readers as a wise spiritual guide, pastor and theologian Cheryl Bridges Johns identifies seven key developmental “tasks” of menopause and gives practical ways women can embrace each one. She encourages women to view these tasks as gifts as they experience the remarkable physical, emotional, and spiritual transformation that occurs in this stage of life.Written in a warm and conversational tone, this book helps women chart a course for the future, leading them to a renewed sense of identity, a more focused vision for life, and a deeper spirituality. Each chapter includes guided questions for personal reflection and study questions for group discussion.
