Nobodys Mother : Artemis Of The Ephesians In Antiquity And The New Testamen
$24.99Add to cartSome Christians think Paul’s reference to “saved through childbearing” in 1 Timothy 2:15 means that women are slated primarily for delivering and raising children. Alternate readings, however, sometimes fail to build on the best historical and textual evidence.
Sandra Glahn thinks that we have misunderstood Paul by misunderstanding the context to which he wrote. A key to reading and applying 1 Timothy, Glahn argues, lies in getting to know a mysterious figure who haunts the letter: the goddess Artemis.
Based on groundbreaking research and new data about Artemis of the Ephesians, Nobody’s Mother demonstrates how better background information supports faithful interpretation. Combining spiritual autobiography with scholarly exploration, Glahn takes readers on a journey to ancient Ephesus and across early church history. Unveiling the cult of Artemis and how early Christians related to it can give us a clearer sense of the type of radical, countercultural fellowship the New Testament writers intended Christ’s church to be.
This book is for those who want to avoid sacrificing a high view of Scripture while working to reconcile conflicting models of God’s view of women. Through the unexpected channel of Paul’s advice to Timothy-and the surprising help of an ancient Greek myth-Nobody’s Mother lays a biblical foundation for men and women serving side by side in the church.

Infertility Companion : Hope And Help For Couples Facing Infertility
$19.99Add to cartA thorough Christian guide to the medical, ethical, emotional, marital, spiritual, and biblical challenges of infertility. Most married couples feel a God-given drive for a child that is the product of their love. Infertility is an emotionally painful experience of unfulfilled longings and the death of dreams. Couples experience a grief cycle within a grief cycle, with monthly hope and despair falling inside the larger picture of loss. Infertile couples are second only to cancer patients in what they are willing to endure for a cure. The Infertility Companion is written in a warm, sometimes even humorous style that incorporates true stories the authors have encountered in their ministry to infertile couples. The authors’ teamwork approach provides a balance of male/female, doctor/patient, and clinical/theological, offering practical perspectives. This guide helps infertile couples use the crisis they are experiencing to strengthen their spiritual lives and their marriage relationship. It reveals the latest medical research and offers an exploration of how the Bible guides us through underlying principles such as the sanctity of life. Although written primarily for the couple, it is also for family members, support groups, pastors, and therapists. Questions at the end of each chapter and in the workbook section at the back of the book can be used by couples or groups.
