Chosen : A Journey Of Faith
$21.49
Michele Guinness was brought up to love and live out her family’s Jewish heritage. However, in her teens, she felt something lacking. Searching for answers would eventually lead her to a destination she never could have imagined: marriage to Peter Guinness (the great-great-grandson of the famous brewer), who to her family’s shock would opt for another kind of spirit and become an Anglican minister. Michele’s highly diverting memoir, peppered with vivid anecdotes, describes her spiritual journey as she struggles to make sense of being both Jewish and Christian, and adapting, not abandoning, her rich Jewish heritage to her life as a vicar’s somewhat unusual wife in a Church of England parish.Chosen brings together in a single volume Michele’s accounts originally contained in Child of the Covenant, Promised Land, and A Little Kosher Seasoning, recounting the one-of-a-kind story of one woman’s transformative spiritual journey.

Samuel Rutherford : The Law, The Prince And The Scribe
$11.99Add to cartWhen Samuel Rutherford picked up his pen he changed lives, maybe even across continents. What he wrote influenced the American constitution but where his real power and passion was felt was in the letters that his warm pastor’s heart wrote to the people of his parish.
His book Lex Rex was burned on a pyre but his notes of comfort and wisdom were cherished by those he cared to guide and counsel.
Accused of treason he died of illness before there was time to make him a martyr and on his gravestone today, just west of the Bell Tower in St. Andrews Cathedral are engraved the striking words that sum up his life, “Acquainted with Emmanuel’s Love’.

Faith Unraveled : How A Girl Who Knew All The Answers Learned To Ask Questi
$23.99Add to cartEighty years after the Scopes Monkey Trial made a spectacle of Christian fundamentalism and brought national attention to her hometown, Rachel Held Evans faced a trial of her own when she began to have doubts about her faith. In Faith Unraveled, Rachel recounts growing up in a culture obsessed with apologetics, and learns to ask questions she never thought she would ask. In order for her faith to survive, Rachel realizes, it must adapt to change and evolve. Using as an illustration her own spiritual journey from certainty to doubt to faith, Evans challenges readers to disentangle their faith from false fundamentals and to trust in a God who is big enough to handle tough questions. In a changing cultural environment where new ideas seem to threaten the safety and security of the faith, Faith Unraveled is a fearlessly honest story of survival.
