Half Empty : An Interpretive Guide To Ecclesiastes
$13.99
Widely regarded as pessimistic in tone, the book of Ecclesiastes presents unique difficulties for preaching and teaching. Ecclesiastes seems to declare that no matter what a person does, in the end life is as fleeting and meaningless as vapor. What edifying value could this book have for parishioners and students? Wendell Bowes, in Half Empty, expertly answers this question. In this interpretive guide,
Dr. Bowes demonstrates how effectively the message of Ecclesiastes complements the optimism of wisdom books such as Proverbs by questioning that optimism and underlining what is most important in life.
Like its companion volume, Half Full, on Proverbs, Half Empty includes sermon starters, presentation ideas, sermon title suggestions, and a substantial reference list.

Abolition Of Man
$17.99In this graceful work, C. S. Lewis reflects on society and nature and the challenges of how best to educate our children. He eloquently argues that we need as a society to underpin reading and writing with lessons on morality and in the process both educate and re-educate ourselves. In the words of Walter Hooper, “If someone were to come to me and say that, with the exception of the Bible, everyone on earth was going to be required to read one and the same book, and then ask what it should be, I would with no hesitation say The Abolition of Man. It is the most perfectly reasoned defense of Natural Law (Morality) I have ever seen, or believe to exist. If any book is able to save us from future excesses of folly and evil, it is this book.” This beautiful paperback edition is sure to attract new readers to this classic book.
