Book Description
Christianity is the only religion that still worships a human being. Jesus's humanity and mission was derailed at the Council of Nicaea in 325AD. Jesus was declared God, equal with the Father. The God in the Book of Genesis was incorporated into Christian doctrines. The separation of the divine from the human, along with seventeen hundred years of institutional control by Western Christianity, has had a detrimental effect on global humanity. Jesus's spiritual and social values included connecting his people and all humanity with the Universal Spirit. The divine light that Jesus embodied is shared by all humanity. God is spirit, he told the Samaritan woman. True worshipers will worship him in spirit and truth. The Spirit who is so universally diffuse and active in people's lives is often referred to as the work of angels or miracles happening.

Book Description
With a voice of reason and grace, pastor Caleb Kaltenbach challenges the church to choose the path of hope in response to polarizing cultural issues that are straight from the front pages of today’s newspapers. Divergent politics, immigration issues, bullying, re-defining family, racism, terrorism, new ways of categorizing people, and multiple other issues are negatively impacting our communities today. Some feel the country we live in now isn't the same one they lived in twenty years ago. Culture is consistently changing, and many Christians are nervous about what tomorrow will bring. However, we don't need to worry, because we serve the God of tomorrow. Culture will always change, but God never changes. God owns tomorrow. He has been in tomorrow, prepared tomorrow, and will walk with us into tomorrow. He will help us handle our ever-shifting culture as we journey forward. Every cultural issue we deal with today is something that Jesus dealt with in his day. The issues are the same, they just look different. Yet Jesus trusted the God of Tomorrow and knew that he was in complete control. Because of his trust in God, Jesus engaged culture in a very intentional way, and we can do likewise. God of Tomorrow includes discussion questions at the end of each chapter, providing a great platform for small groups to dialogue about these culturally-relevant topics.

Book Description
Today’s world has brought awareness of where we are going and with it anxiety. Thinking people advocate looking for a new direction to take. Ordinary people feel that their lives could be much better. We see need and inequality on our doorstep and everywhere. Public conscience is pricked, but people feel unable to do anything. Politicians struggle to balance conflicting demands and policies. Quality of living has gone out of our lives. People ask, where is God? A better question is, where are we, in relation to God? Prayer for tomorrow’s world brings out fundamental things to rethink and put right. It looks at what the Bible has to say. The book stimulates our thoughts, as we seek God’s way into a future that he can bless.

Book Description
Our world has changed dramatically in the past quarter century. People are losing faith in technology. Our society has lost consensus and is dividing into competing tribes. Rather than simply condemning these new values, Roxburgh calls the church to respond with Christian community, Christian ecology and Christian spirituality. This fresh and powerful book shows what our new world is like and how the gospel is yet again relevant and redemptive.
