Who Moved My Cheese? is a simple parable that reveals profound truths about change. It is an amusing and enlightening story of four characters who live in a "Maze" and look for "Cheese" to nourish them and make them happy. Two are mice named Sniff and Scurry. And two are "little people" -- beings the size of mice who look and act a lot like people. Their names are Hem and Haw. "Cheese" is a metaphor for what you want to have in life -- whether it is a good job, a loving relationship, money, possession, health, or spiritual peace of mind. And "The Maze" is where you look for what you want -- the organization you work in, or the family or community you live in. In the story, the characters are faced with unexpected change. Eventually, one of them deals with it successfully, and writes what he has learned from his experience on the maze walls. When you come to see "The Handwriting on the Wall," you can discover for yourself how to deal with change, so that you can enjoy less stress and more success (however you define it) in your work and in your life. Written for all ages, the story takes less than an hour to read, but its unique insights can last for a lifetime. - Jacket flap.

God is sovereign. All evangelical Christians -- Whether Aminians or Calvinists -- have no doubt about this fundamental truth. But how does God express his sovereignty? Is God a master puppeteer, pulling our strings? Or has he graciously given his children freedom to respond to his love? In this eminently readable book, Jerry Walls and Doe Dongell explore the flaws of Calvinist theology. Why I Am Not a Calvinist is a must-read for all who struggle. - Back cover.

Arminian theology is sweeping through the evangelical churches of North America. While most Arminians are good, sincere, orthodox Christians, authors Robert Peterson and Michael Williams contend that aspects of Arminian thought are troubling both biblically and theologically. In particular, they argue, Arminians have too lofty a view of human nature and an inadequate understanding of God's sovereign love in Christ. Why I Am Not an Arminian explores the biblical, theological and historical background to the Calvinist-Arminian debate. The irenic nature and keen insight of this book will be appreciated by laypeople, pastors and scholars alike.

When we think of New Testament disciples, it is not usually women who come to mind - but they should. Women were Christ's earliest disciples. Boyd Luter and Kathy McReynolds use examples of women during Christ's ministry and from the early church to develop a pattern during Christ's ministry and from the early church to develop a pattern of discipleship for women today. These first women disciples were strong and courageous and were models for today's Christian woman.

A carefully researched, compassionate volume of encouragement and direction for women coping with midlife. This book is equally helpful for counselors and families.

What exactly is worship? How can we account for its power? In Worship Seeking Understanding, worship expert John Witvliet mines the riches of the Bible, theology, history, music, and pastoral research to provide windows into the practice of Christian worship. With this work, Witvliet attempts to build bridges between theory and practice, among various worship-related disciplines, and across denominational lines. If worship renewal is to occur, each bridge must be formed. His hope is that this work will not only articulate questions about worship but also enrich the practice of worship in congregations today. --From publisher's description.

"Jikalau kita mengisi sebuah gelas dengan air secara terus-menerus, gelas itu akan penuh dengan air, bahkan sampai tumpah. Begitu pula dengan hati anak, jikalau kita mengisinya dengan berita tentang kasih Tuhan yang tertulis dalam Alkitab, maka pada suatu hari akan ada jawaban yang mengalir keluar dari hatinya, yaitu ia mengasihi Tuhan Yesus. Kita telah menyelidiki dasar mengajar anak yang diberikan oleh Allah pada masa Perjanjian Lama. Kita juga telah memahami arti percaya yang diletakkan oleh Tuhan Yesus dalam Perjanjian Baru. Dua pokok ini saling melengkapi. Anak harus diajar sehingga mengenal Allah. Tetapi pengetahuan tentang Allah saja belum cukup. Anak perlu membuka diri kepada Tuhan Yesus dan menerima Dia melalui keputusan untuk percaya kepada-Nya. Hal itu dapat terjadi dalam keluarga melalui renungan tiap-tiap hari atau dalam sekolah minggu. Tetapi sebaiknya juga diadakan hari yang khusus, seperti pekan anak atau kebangunan rohani anak, di mana anak diberi pengertian yang khusus mengenai keselamatan dan mempunyai kesempatan khusus untuk menerima Tuhan Yesus secara pribadi..

Sherman does an excellent job laying the foundation for an often heard cliche with little teeth, "sure God cares about the little things - even jobs that no one else likes to do." It lacks the hokey tone though and takes a deeper look at the nature of God and his interest in the details of our lives in the workplace.
