We must learn to live together as brothers, or we will perish together as fools. -Martin Luther King Jr.With the Bible as a guide and heaven as the goal, Oneness Embraced calls God's people to kingdom-focused unity. It tells us why we don't have it, what we need to get it, and what it will look like when we do.Weaving his own story into this word to the church, Tony Evans tells of a life spent between two worlds. As a young theologian, he straddled black, urban culture and white, mainstream evangelicalism. Now, three decades later, he offers seasoned reflections on matters of history, culture, the church, and social justice.This call for unity is as timely as ever. If the church practices oneness, America will have a guide for becoming the one nation under God it declares itself to be."In Oneness Embraced Tony Evans reminds us that the church cannot remain silent about the racial injustices in our country." -Richard Stearns, president World Vision, US, and author of The Hole in Our Gospel"Tony paints a compelling picture of the kingdom and a kingdom agenda that reflects the supernatural unity of the body of Christ. Oneness Embraced is a must-read!" -Dr. Crawford W. Loritts Jr., author, speaker, radio host, senior pastor, Fellowship Bible Church, Roswell, Georgia

Reveal God to your children by parenting them like He parents us.Tired of all the parenting books full of strategic checklists, how-to advice, and quick tips?

You are always changing. What if your calling changes with you?Let's be honest: for most of us, our calling isn't revealed in a singular moment of divine purpose. That's not how God usually works. We grow, shift, and change over the course of our lives, and God continues to call us--but maybe he's not repeating Himself.In The 6 Seasons of Calling, Brian Sanders helps us explore our calling as something ongoing and dynamic, shaped around life's six basic seasons: - Childhood - the season of bonding- Adolescence - the season of learning- Early Career - the season of serving- Mid-Career - the season of creating- Late Career - the season of giving- Transition - the season of leavingWe are not made to wander aimlessly but to follow a God who is on the move. Which season are you in? What is God saying in it? Live there. Learn its lessons. The next season will have its own calling.
