As Natural As (I Corinthians 13:9a) "For we know in part..." (I Corinthians 13:13b) "..but the greatest of these is love." (See James 2:13) "...because judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment!"

She had to be braver than she ever thought she could be. As the Vietnam War rages, nineteen-year-old Francie Dalton marries to escape her abusive and religiously oppressive childhood home. Fleeing to Florida and her grandfather’s horse farm, she hopes to find the comfort and safety she has always longed for. When her husband leaves Francie and her newborn daughter, handsome farm manager Frank Weaver offers her the support she never knew she needed and hope in a loving God who is nothing like the vindictive God of her childhood. Just as Francie starts to believe she has finally found the security she has always craved, she is asked to do the unthinkable. To save an innocent life, she must commit a crime that puts everyone she loves at risk. Now, neither the fences around Francie’s horse farm nor the barriers around her heart are enough to keep her safe. Set to the backdrop of the thrilling world of Thoroughbred racing, The Things We Know in Part is a sweeping epic of love and betrayal, of unbelievable hurt and inhuman pain. It’s the story of how far the human spirit can go before it’s crushed, and of how close God can be, even when it seems He’s not.

Are Miraculous Gifts for Today? takes you to the heart of one of the most dividing questions in the Church today: how are the Holy Spirit’s miracles at work among God's people now? Is he still actively giving the gifts of tongues, prophecy, and healing that fill the book of Acts? Is he driving out demons when Christians command them to flee? Or are these events confined to the time of the early church and the apostles? This volume of the Counterpoints series provides an impartial format for comparing the four main positions on present-day miracles (including the history and distinctions between the three positions that affirm miraculous gifts) with voice also given to a large sector of open-but-cautious evangelicals: Cessationist: there are no miraculous gifts of the Holy Spirit today. Pentecostal: gifts are intended for today, with certain nuances focused on baptism and speaking in tongues. Charismatic: gifts are intended for today and should be actively practiced. Third Wave: gifts are intended for today, with greater emphasis on baptism and less on tongues. This thought-provoking book will help Christians on every side of the miraculous gifts debate to better understand their own position and the positions of others. The Counterpoints series presents a comparison and critique of scholarly views on topics important to Christians that are both fair-minded and respectful of the biblical text. Each volume is a one-stop reference that allows readers to evaluate the different positions on a specific issue and form their own, educated opinion.
