Book Description
Self-discipline is essential to success in all areas of life. Making the conscious choice to do what is morally right takes a great deal of strength. The source of this strength comes from God. Having learned the hard way that discipline requires training, Dr. Rhonda Harrington Kelley suggests a system of checks and balances for self-control. Noting her personal journey toward spiritual discipline, Kelley offers this thought-provoking, inspirational guide. Through self-motivation and control, the author encourages you to reap the rewards of leading a disciplined life. After years of struggling with her weight and other negative aspects of her life, Kelley concluded that she had the motivation for change but not a sincere desire to gain self-control. Her belief in God’s power to bring calm and purpose to some of life’s most uncontrollable situations helped change her life. More than just a self-help book, Divine Discipline: How to Develop and Maintain Self-Control offers specific guidelines for making positive lifestyle changes toward personal growth. Kelley provides valuable guidelines for nutrition, fitness, time management, and goal planning that highlight the importance of one’s internal resources by employing inner strengths. This second edition provides new information and encouragement for those seeking divine self-control. The biblical quotes come from the New American Standard Bible published by Lockman. Through discipline, introspection, and spiritual belief, Dr. Kelley leads the wayward soul to the bounty of the Holy Spirit. Esther Burroughs provides the foreword. A well-known Christian speaker and author, she is on the staff of the Southern Baptist Convention Home Mission Board in the evangelism division.

Book Description
Disciplining the Divine offers the first comprehensive treatment of the Social Model of the Trinity, exploring its central place within much theological discourse of the past half century, including its relation to wider cultural and political concerns. The book highlights the manner in which theologians have attempted to make the doctrine of God relevant to modern issues and outlooks and it charts the conditions that have necessitated such a reconfiguration of theological analysis. While interrogatory in tone and intent, Disciplining the Divine nevertheless provides a critical reconstruction of a Christian theology and practice which might be undertaken within the political and cultural contexts of the new millennium.

Book Description
My father was the happiest man I ever knew. One of the reasons for this was his singing faith. To feel the significance of this, you need to understand that he was a fundamentalist. That's not a bad word in my vocabulary. And he's the reason. Fundamentals are worth dying for and fighting for. But that fight has killed the Song in the hearts of many people. But not in Bill Piper.

Book Description
We ask God to involve himself providentially in our lives, yet we cherish our freedom to choose and act. Employing both theological reflection and philosophical analysis, the author explores how to resolve the interesting and provocative puzzles arising from these seemingly conflicting desires. He inquires what sovereignty means and how sovereigns balance their power and prerogatives with the free responses of their subjects. Since we are physically embodied in a physical world, we also need to ask how this is compatible with our being free agents. Providence raises questions about God's fundamental attributes. The author considers what it means to affirm God's goodness as logically contingent, how being almighty interfaces with God's self-limitation, and the persistent problems that arise from claiming that God foreknows the future. Discussion of these divine properties spills over into the related issues of why God allows, or even causes, pain and suffering; why, if God is all-knowing, we need to petition God repeatedly and encounter so many unanswered prayers; and how miracles, as ways God acts in the world, are possible and knowable. Throughout, the author looks at Scripture and attends to how providence deepens our understanding of God and enriches our lives.
