This unique discipleship book explores resurrection living through the biblical paradigm of the garden of Eden. It asks what life was like in the garden, what was lost, and how in Jesus holy resurrection living is restored. In eight simple steps, we live a life of: - Overcoming Shame- Rediscovering Work- Embracing Wholeness and Wellness- Standing for Love and Marriage- Reclaiming Rest in the Sabbath- Committing to Stewardship and Creation Care- Sharing the Gospel and Being Missional- Loving God and Loving OthersBased on the authors' lived experiences as pastors, mentors, and educators, Rise is a practical tool for personal discipleship, mentoring, and preaching. As Jim and Ross declare, "We are forgiven in order to be restored . . . If the forgiveness of the cross clears the ground of the soul, then the resurrection is the instrument with which the new gardener replants the Creator's image." Jim Baucom is the Senior Pastor of Columbia Church, Virginia. Ross Clifford is the Principal of Morling College (Seminary), Sydney. Both highly sought- after speakers, they love bringing together the church and the seminary.

Today, some Christians--as part of their own personal growth--and some churches--as part of their desire to reach the 'spiritual but not religious'--are adapting spiritual practices that have their roots in East Asian religions or in disciplines that emerge from New Age and New Spirituality. Other voices within the Church are wary of, and in some cases condemn, involvement with such practices. This book sifts through some of the most popular practices and asks whether or not they should really be considered off-limits for Christians or incompatible with the way of Jesus. Each chapter provides a brief history of the alternative practice in focus, followed by an assessment of its strengths and weaknesses within a Christian framework, and a case study of a church interacting with the practice. Taboo or To Do? includes a Foreword by John Drane.

Dr Montgomery is one of our leading Christian apologists. His writings have influenced several generations of apologists from around the globe. His de- bates are legendary. This book purports to break new ground apologetically as it assesses Dr Montgomery's work. It focuses on his legal/historical apo- logetic and in the process reframes it for both for the 'tough minded' and the 'tender hearted'. It shows not only the rationality of Montgomery's work but also that his writings pave the way for an apologetic to New Age follo- wers and to those who place experience before reason. A special feature of this analysis concerns Montgomery's apologetic insights on the occult and paganism. This book also breaks new ground as the legal apologetic model has not been previously assessed; it illustrates that a juridical apologetic style has a rich history dating back to the Gospels themselves. The present work should thus be of particular interest to apologists, theologians, philosophers of religion, pastors, and all who are concerned to share the legal/ historical fact of the Resurrection of Jesus - together with its relevance - in a secular age.

Did Jesus rise from the dead? What happened to the body of Jesus? Are the writers of the Gospels reliable witnesses? The author selects some of the most prominent lawyers of modern times to sift through the evidence on the most influential figure of history. He describes the lawyers' professional backgrounds, outlines their contributions to this 2000-year-old debate and reinforces their conclusions by some careful research of his own. A compelling case is made for the familiar claim of the Apostles' Creed: 'On the third day he rose again.' While Ross Clifford believes that 'the evidence would convince a court of law,' he argues that we can't leave the matter there. The phenomenon of the resurrection strikes at the very heart of who we are and how we view human existence. Inevitably, we find ourselves asking: What does it mean if Jesus did rise from the dead? How does it affect my understanding of life and death? Where does this understanding take me? This book is a modern classic with chapters on the writings of distinguished jurists such as Simon Greenleaf, Lord Hailsham, Norman Anderson, and John Warwick Montgomery. A significant book which every lawyer should read . . .(David Kilgour, MP and Deputy Speaker, Canadian House of Commons).
