Did God set us up for failure? These are just a few of the many questions and thoughts people seem to have when it comes to how we think of God.

The pictures of God that have been painted in Sunday schools and from pulpits over the past several decades haven’t served us well.

Women today feel a constant pressure to improve themselves and just never feel like they’re “enough.” All too often, they live their daily lives disheartened, disillusioned, and disappointed.

Christians—especially those who would share their faith with Muslims—were not welcome. While Tamara heard their message, she did not fully understand the danger she and her husband were in.

In this intimate testimony of sexual abuse, promiscuity, gang activity, and the battle against crack addiction, I am transparent by exposing the trauma and inward confusion that kept me in bondage for 30 years. With the fear of being rejected by a loving God because of my past, I attempted to control my healing process, resisting the very freedom I desired. In a marriage that was on the brink of failure, and an addiction that seemed to haunt me, I surrendered myself to the Lordship of Jesus Christ, and God used the very thing I sought after to break me: the need for love.

In this new edition, popular author Walter Brueggemann writes that the Sabbath is not simply about keeping rules but rather about becoming a whole person and restoring a whole society. Brueggemann calls out our 24/7 society of consumption, a society in which we live to achieve, accomplish, perform, and possess. We want more, own more, use more, eat more, and drink more. Brueggemann tells listeners how keeping the Sabbath allows us to break this restless cycle and focus on what is truly important: God, other people, all life.
