Fire & RainFire & Rain: Keys to Transform Your Community

by Douglass Norwood ('01)

 

This work outlines the key ingredients to globally transforming communities, following the principles clearly illustrated by the prophet Elijah in his monumental contest with the priests of Baal. This is a crucial book for any pastor, civic, or church leader wanting to have a clearer vision for changing nations and regions as well as anyone looking for Biblical direction in the process of transforming their lives.

NorwoodDoug has been a pastor and church planter with the Moravian Church since 1972. He is the founder of Broken Jars, a transdenominational ministry of training, evangelism, and encouragement focused on assisting the Church to grow into its full potential according to the Lord's design. 

 

 

Miracles: The Credibility of the New Testament Accounts  

by Craig S. Keener ('85/'87)

 

Keener MiraclesMost modern prejudice against biblical miracle reports depends on David Hume's argument that uniform human experience precluded miracles. Yet current research shows that human experience is far from uniform. In fact, hundreds of millions of people today claim to have experienced miracles. New Testament scholar Craig Keener argues that it is time to rethink Hume's argument in light of the contemporary evidence available to us.CKeener

 

Craig is professor of New Testament at Asbury Theological Seminary, Wilmore, Kentucky. Three of his many books have won national awards, and his background commentary has sold over half a million copies (including electronic copies and translations).
