Book Description
Honor For Us is the first contemporary philosophical inquiry into the concept of honor. It is unique not only in its analysis of six distinct concepts of honor, which includes an investigation into the place of honor in religious thought and ethics, but also in its interpretation of honor's prevalence in our own culture. Many would like to discard honor altogether as 'obsolete', but Sessions contends that the concept of honor is poorly understood, standing sorely in need of clarification. He argues that the notion of honor remains viable in the face of powerful criticism, and that it has important features which warrant our normative interest. While not downplaying the 'dark side' of honor (violence, sexism, inegalitarianism, its abuse in religion), Sessions shows that honor not only constitutes a descriptively useful concept but also remains a potentially valuable concept for us today.

Book Description
Postmodern, Marxist, and Christian Historical Novels: Hope and the Burdens of History argues historical novels can help readers receive the burdens of history—meaning both the burdens of the past, present, and future and the burden of living in time—and develop a more robust conception of and concrete practice of hope. Since the 1960s, historical novels have been a dominant literary genre, but they have been influenced primarily not by Christian but by postmodern and marxist thinkers and writers. This book provides a theological and literary analysis of all three types of historical novels—postmodern, marxist, and Christian—and outlines what each school of thought can learn from each other regarding historical understanding and hope. Using Jürgen Moltmann’s theology of hope and Frank Kermode’s literary criticism as a theoretical basis, the book offers readings of novels by Julian Barnes, A.S. Byatt, Kazuo Ishiguro, Margaret Atwood, Michael Ondaatje, Ian McEwan, and Ursula LeGuin, among others, and ends with an extended analysis of Marilynne Robinson’s Gilead series.

Book Description
Recalibration is the way God frees and propels us to fulfill the destiny that the enemy once stole. Being recalibrated is more than repenting and apologizing to God; it is a process of pruning, chastening, and testing that will prove the believer to be strong in the Lord to resist Satan. In Recalibrating the Heart and Mind Back to God, author Tammie Eyvette Monroe examines the vulnerability of every believer in Christ Jesus to make wrong turns and poor decisions to live in iniquity and falter on their God-given assignment. Even so, God is faithful and redirects and recalibrates our direction so that we can fulfill the destiny that God has chosen for us from the earth’s foundation. Monroe considers the spiritual ramifications of sin and how it negatively influences our lives, going beyond recognizing the effects sin brings and dealing with the resulting pull away from God. She also explores what it takes to be recalibrated to the Father and how it can change your life. Using God’s Word as a tool of deliverance, this guide teaches believers how to overcome and overthrow the enemy from every area of their lives through different types of prayer and the use of the Word of God as a weapon.
