Until relatively recently, vegetarianism was considered a positive dietary alternative for Christians. Often considered a preference for those seeking better spiritual awareness for a season, biblical tradition still acknowledged that a plant-based diet wasn't any more spiritual or moral than eating meat, therefore meat-eating was considered legitimate for humans; not prohibited and was even blessed by God. But, increasingly, and especially in light of the current Green movement that wants to at least limit the eating of meat, alongside the relentless calls by other secular organizations and activists to end meat-eating altogether, it is now more important than ever for people to know what the Bible and biblical tradition have to say about the subject. Within Christian circles, well-meaning people have been pressuring fellow Christians to turn from eating meat- a practice once historically understood as a Christian freedom- and are now asking them to embrace abstinence, but what many are calling "e;just a new bondage."e; Christian leaders are warning the Christian community not to adopt a false commandment that is mostly based on secular activist's personal convictions. Familiar choruses are now resonating throughout Christian communities: "e;Meat-eating isn't compassionate."e; "e;Animals have rights too."e; "e;Aren't you concerned about animal suffering?"e; "e;We should include animals into the moral community."e; "e;Would you kill and eat your dog Lassie?"e;In response to this clamor, Castle Quay Books has brought together a broad group of scholars who have applied their expertise in a wide range of fields including biblical studies, theology, philosophy, resource management, communication, and generational animal farming, to write an accessible response for all Christians. Contributors to the discussion cover both sides of the debate with their host of important views. Writers include well known authors such as Dr. Walter Kaiser, Dr. Wes Jamison, and Dr. Paul Copan, as well as other well-known authors.

A Christian is sent out as an ambassador of Christ. But where? And for what purpose? Live Your Assignment: Being Christ's Ambassador in 7 Spheres of Life unpacks God's highest purpose for the Christian life, which is much more radical and transformative than living a comfortable, spiritual life. This book echoes some of the work of Os Guinness's The Call, and challenges us, as disciple of Jesus, to further awaken ourselves to the tasks as representatives of God himself, and ministers of reconciliation. Phil presents God-given assignments in 7 key spheres of life; the self, creation, household, fellowship, city, nation, and world. It is through these assignments, which God gives to all those who love him, that God is filling the universe with his glory. Phil presents a unique angle on discipleship and life-calling/vocation in this book. He challenges followers of Jesus to apply these principles to their lives, as he has to his own as an individual, son, husband, father, pastor, mission leader, and servant in the wider body of Christ through the EFC and WEA. This book is a great resource for everyone seeking to bring glory to God in the whole of life.

The wise management of our money can seem like an overwhelming topic. Especially in the times we find ourselves in currently with all the increasing stresses on our financial resources. And then, when we add the wise advice of our Bible, with all its formidable principles to the many voices of professional advice, it becomes clear we need some wise, mature, godly and informed advice on the topic, to help us pull it all together. We need look no further! Tom's newest resource in the study of Biblical finances is the crown of his many contributions on the topic. Covering core subjects like the impact of money management on all our relationships, including God, spouse, and eternity, Tom then widens our understanding of this important subject by applying Biblical principles on the impact money management has on family and even our eternity itself. Always applying solid biblical references, Tom lays out the evidence Scriptures provide for personal relationships, responsible stewardship, godly attitudes toward finances, and the ultimate impact on our eternity in heaven as Christians receive rewards, or lack of rewards, at the judgment seat of Christ (2nd Corinthians 5:10). Many Christians are unaware that the way they manage money will have a huge impact on the rewards and the crowns that they receive, or perhaps not receive, in heaven for eternity. Fortunately, Tom deals with this area very thoroughly and biblically.Tom provides us with many real life case-studies that are easy to learn and follow, and simple to apply to our own personal circumstances. This is a must-read for all who want to utilize the resources God has entrusted to them for eternal purposes so that, as Tom says so well, when you leave this earth, you will hear the words we all want to hear from the Lord, "Well done good and faithful servant, you have been faithful with a few things, I will put you in charge of many things, come and share your master's happiness."

In a day when the polar opposite world views are endlessly hostile, confrontational and seemingly intent on eliminating each other from public dialogue and discourse of each's particular views of life, this is a book on how we Christians should respond to our current world dilemmas...as well as to each other - with grace and truth! Carefully and skillfully handling Scripture, culture and history, Paul Estabrooks lays out a map for all Christians on how to maintain a grace-filled approach to what are clearly 'wolves intent on Christian destruction and silence'...while sharing the stories of persecuted Christians elsewhere who exemplify being overcomers.
