A beautifully written, gospel-focused guide to Christian life and doctrine. --Russell Moore, President, Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission

Throughout the history of the church, Christians have used catechisms--collections of questions and answers designed for memorization and recitation--to teach others the core doctrines of the faith. The New City Catechism is a modern-day resource aimed at reintroducing this ancient method of teaching to Christians today.

This short book lays out 52 questions and answers related to God, human nature, sin, Christ, the Holy Spirit, and more. Whether used devotionally, recited orally, or memorized over the course of a year, families, churches, small groups, and Christian schools will treasure this as a valuable tool for teaching the core doctrines of the Christian faith to children and adults alike.

At one point in her life, author and co-founder of Redeemer Presbyterian Church Kathy Keller sought pastoral ordination. Yet she came to adopt the view that men and women have different roles in marriage and ministry, and that fulfilling such roles pleases God and leads to greater personal fulfillment.

In this unapologetic but nuanced piece, Keller presents a caring and careful case for biblical gender differences and the complementarian view of women in ministry. At the same time, she encourages women to teach and lead in the church in ways that may startle some complementarians. Readers on both sides of this hot-button topic will be challenged by her ministry-tested and thoroughly Scriptural perspective.

BOSTON 1795--Merchant sea captain Reese Thackeray returns home to find that a young woman is in charge of the counting house with which he does business, a business he considers to be the bailiwick of men. Accustomed to being in command, Thackeray soon discovers that he does not command Marin Sutton when there is a disagreement over his contract. The tall, slender, green-eyed beauty is not the naive woman he, at first, takes her to be but is annoyingly smart, clever, and, to the methodical Thackeray, much too bold. Marin is quite certain, however, that the charismatic, darkly handsome captain is every bit the condescending, chauvinistic cad she takes him to be. Unfortunately, Thackeray is the most knowledgeable in the ways of the treacherous Barbary pirates, and she needs his help to settle a personal matter in Algiers. When the captain refuses to aid her, Marin devises an audacious plan that lands her in the center of a diplomatic incident and finds her on a dangerous mission to the Barbary Coast under Thackeray's command.

September 1874

Boston socialite Devon Wainwright is widowed and left penniless by her husband's bad investments and is facing another loveless marriage arranged by her mother, when she receives notice of an inheritance from a little-known aunt. In defiance of her mother and with her maid as her companion, she sets off for Blue Springs, Colorado, to claim her legacy and a new life. All too soon however, she discovers that it is one thing to experience the Wild West through the popular dime novels; it is quite another to experience it in real life when she encounters lax morality, lawlessness, danger--and Cort Templeton. Though he is undeniably an imposing figure, Devon finds his no-nonsense, taciturn manner disconcerting and insulting. He is certainly not the dashing hero of her novels. For his part, Templeton has no time for the pretty redhead's sanctimonious complaints. But as mysteries unfold and an old vendetta arises, he finds Devon's life in his hands. Over the course of harrowing events, they come to realize that one can't judge a book by its cover, and they find an unexpected love.

As reporter Kip Stevens and hospital psychiatrist Ericka Porter try to uncover John's identity, they are drawn into a mystery within a mystery that pushes their belief systems to the limit and calls into question their entire concept of reality. Is John a time traveler? Is he the reincarnation of a man who lived well over a hundred years ago? Or is he a huckster? In his quest for the truth, Kip also questions whether the events that led to his involvement were really all that random.
