Gospel Deeps
Author: Jared C. Wilson
Publisher: Crossway
ISBN: 1433526433
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 234
Book Description
While pastoring for the past fifteen years, Jared Wilson has become known in contemporary evangelicalism for his passionate, gospel-centered writing and teaching. Following Wilson's well-received publication of Gospel Wakefulness, he writes Gospel Deeps as a "next step" to establishing the need for astonishment, which begins by looking at the astonishing things God has done in and through Christ. Wilson holds up the gospel like a diamond and examines it facet by facet, demonstrating the riches of its implications. This book serves as a valuable contribution to the emerging canon of gospel-centered literature, in the spirit of John Piper's Pleasures of God and Tim Keller's emphasis on a "robust gospel," and continues in the glory-reveling legacy left by Jonathan Edwards, John Owen, and the like. The distinctiveness of Gospel Deeps is found in Wilson's winsome and frequently ecstatic writing voice, as well as his unique approach to showcasing the gospel's beauty.

I Want to be a God Gazer
Author: Malcolm Duncan
Publisher: Monarch Books
ISBN: 0857214829
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
It is so easy to rush through life, rarely stopping in the moments when a yearning for more comes to the surface. Here, Malcolm Duncan uses his poem, God Gazer, to entreat us to stop and look into God and to let Him look into us. This is a call to return to our primary calling: to seek and discover God. We see that to be world changers we must learn to gaze into God; that we can have an impact, but only as we look into Him and let ourselves be changed. Once we have seen Him, our passion becomes that others will see Him, connect to the Source, and see their own lives transformed. Reflective, engaging and inspiring, this book will help readers connect with the beauty, mystery and wonder of God.

For the Public's Health
Author: Institute of Medicine
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309161274
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 204
Book Description
Despite having the costliest medical care delivery system in the world, Americans are not particularly healthy. Recent international comparisons show that life expectancy in the U.S. ranks 49th among all nations, and infant mortality rates are higher in the U.S. than in many far less affluent nations. While these statistics are alarming, the bigger problem is that we do not know how to reverse this trend. Our lack of knowledge is due in large part to significant inadequacies in the health system for gathering, analyzing, and communicating health information about the population. To inform the public health community and all other sectors that contribute to population health, For the Public's Health: The Role of Measurement in Action and Accountability reviews current approaches for measuring the health of individuals and communities and creates a roadmap for future development. This book, the first of three in a series, focuses on data and measurement-not as ends in themselves, but rather tools to inform the myriad programs, policies, and processes developed or undertaken by governmental public health agencies and their many partners in the health system. For the Public's Health seeks to reinstate the proper and evidence-based understanding of health as not merely the result of medical or clinical care but the result of the sum of what we do as a society to create the conditions in which people can be healthy. To achieve this goal, the book suggests changes in the processes, tools, and approaches used to gather information about health outcomes and their determinants. The book also recommends developing an integrated and coordinated system in which all parties-including governmental and private sector partners at all levels-have access to timely and meaningful data to help foster individual and community awareness and action.
