Eugene Peterson’s vibrant, unforgettable exploration of one of the most memorable—and controversial—figures in Scripture: King David.

If you are daunted by Revelation’s complexity or confused by its claims, Reversed Thunder brings one of the most difficult-to-understand texts in the Bible into clear view. Eugene Peterson’s eloquent meditation takes a Jesus-centered lens to Saint John’s futuristic vision, in a grounded reading that engages the spiritual imagination, awakens hope for the future, and interprets the truth of these last words on scripture, Christ, church, worship, evil, prayer, salvation, and heaven.

From pastor and theologian Eugene Peterson, an inspiring and insightful guide to that most vital—but oft-elusive—spiritual practice: prayer.

One of the most clear and repeated directives in the Bible is to be prepared and ready. In Ephesians, Paul encourages this preparedness through the imagery of putting on armor, as Christians are in the midst of a great spiritual battle. William Gurnall expounds on this powerful instruction and brings to life the deep theology, practical application, and extreme urgency of girding oneself for war.

I’ve made a mess of things again. Not that anybody is surprised. After I’m politely asked to withdraw from college for my antics, I return home to my family’s cattle ranch. The sweeping views, the towering pine trees, and the whisper of the wind remind me I belong on this land. My heart is in the alpine air, my soul mixed into the soil. All I’ve ever wanted is to run the ranch alongside my oldest brother, but my family refuses to see me as anything but a walking disaster.

While the idea that God created the world for His glory may seem obvious to some and perhaps confusing to others, Jonathan Edwards describes this beautiful premise with Scriptural evidence and in a completely revelatory way. In detailing not only the nature of God, but also of creation, humans, and individual will, Edwards shows that God’s purpose of bringing Himself glory works also, ultimately, for the fulfillment of all creation’s joy.

Jonathan Edwards uses his vast knowledge of theology, along with the direct words of Scripture, to paint a real picture of Heaven. A Biblically sound understanding not of what Heaven may look like but simply of what it is. A place that is home to a perfect God, a God that is love. The home of everlasting, sacrificial, all-consuming, unchanging, unconditional love. Edwards expounds on how the hypostatic union, the church here on Earth, the love of God, and other natures of the Trinity affect and establish the nature of Heaven, the eternal home of rest and joy for all believers.

Here Jonathan Edwards discusses the nature and strength of charity and its resilience to all adversities. While there are a great many things that may attempt to challenge, overwhelm, destroy, and confuse grace and love, it is impossible to entirely snuff out that great gift from God. Not only will charity live on, it will prove again and again to be victorious over evil.

Jonathan Edwards intelligently and thoroughly explains the process through which salvation becomes a life transforming event. It is a constant and evident miracle to experience saving grace. Faith in God and acceptance of His will changes every detail of life, from conviction and temptation to spiritual knowledge and a life of obvious Godliness. Grace becomes a fruit of the everyday. Edwards breaks down this process and the changes one can expect and enjoy while living in true grace.

Using the testimony of Ruth, Jonathan Edwards urges nonbelievers to leave their comfort zones, their presumptions, and their ignorance to follow a God who already loves them and desires only faith and obedience. The promises of the Savior are immediately available and life changing in the most positive ways imaginable. All that is required is the choice to accept this gift. Ruth does so in a tangible, brave, and beautiful way that serves as an excellent example to all.

In this important work by Jonathan Edwards, the truth and importance of love is laid out plainly for the Christian to understand. While there are many ways of seeing God’s influence in the lives of His children, charity is the most consistent and most crucial. Love, or charity, is not only the greatest commandment and most important virtue but it is also the foundation of all other virtues and ways of Christian living. Edwards details how real love is from the Spirit and is evident in all true believers and influences every aspect of life.

Walking the road of the straight and narrow is known for both blessings and miracles as well as hardships and sacrifices. Jonathan Edwards lovingly expresses the ways in which God’s children must put aside selfish desires and reactions when injured or experiencing hardships in life. To humbly and maturely respond to the difficulties in life is a fruit of the Spirit and a light to unbelievers. Edwards explains in great detail how and why Christians must respond in such a way to injury and mistreatment.

Is economic—or broader—conflict, well beyond the trade and technology war that has already erupted, inevitable between the world’s two superpowers? Will their clash produce a new economic leadership vacuum akin to the 1930s, when Great Britain was unable to play its traditional leadership role and a rising United States was unwilling to step in to save the global order?

With the publication of her first book of poems in her sixty-third year, Amy Clampitt rose meteorically to fame, launching herself from obscurity to the upper ranks of American poetry all but overnight, and living a whirlwind eleven years, until her death in 1994. Years later, as renowned poetry scholar Willard Spiegelman wades into her papers and poems, he discovers a woman of dazzling intellect, staunch progressive politics, and an inexhaustible sense of wonder for the world and the words we’ve invented to describe it.

“Change” is at the heart of Christian life. As Christians, we are called to be disciples of Jesus, to actively follow his teachings and become more like him. But the church has lost sight of what has always been its center, Christopher A. Hall argues. In A Different Way, he reminds us that faith is not meant to be merely rigid and static and so guides us back to Christianity’s spiritual foundation, helping us reconnect with Jesus and live the life he calls to live.

Antoine Lavoisier reinvented chemistry, overthrowing the long-established principles of alchemy and inventing an entirely new terminology, one still in use by chemists. Madison Smartt Bell’s enthralling narrative comes across like a race to the finish line, as the very circumstances that enabled Lavoisier to secure his reputation as the father of modern chemistry—a considerable fortune and social connections with the likes of Benjamin Franklin—also caused his glory to be cut short by the French Revolution.
