Pastors’ kids are often burdened by others’ expectations, but there is a wonderful solution, both at home and in the church: grace. In this revised, refreshed version of Barnabas Piper’s best-known book, the author candidly shares his own experiences as son of pastor and best-selling author John Piper, offering a challenge to our churches and to the families at their very heart: how to care for pastors’ kids and allow them to find their own faith and identity.

Barnabas Piper unpacks what faith really means. He shows how embracing doubts and questions can help us to get to know God and encourages us to risk trusting God in our everyday lives, even when we don’t understand everything about him. This book will encourage Christians seeking to ask questions in a godly way and will give them confidence to trust God, even when some questions remain.

The Gospel of Barnabas is not to be confused with the Epistle of Barnabas or with the Acts of Barnabas. The book depicts the life of Jesus and claims to be written by the biblical Barnabas who is one of the 12 apostles. Barnabas is about the same length as the four canonical gospels put together, with the bulk being devoted to an account of Jesus' ministry. The text of this Gospel is pseudepigraphical, but some scholars suggest that it may contain remnants of an earlier, apocryphal work from the Gnostic, Ebionite, or Diatessaronic traditions.

Two pastors from Southern Oregon (one, a Republican, and the other, a Democrat) lay aside their political differences to examine marijuana and cannabis through two lenses: hard science, including medical journals from both inside and outside the US, as well as scripture itself.

Curiosity is such a childish word, right? Not so fast. Just because we grow up, it doesn't mean we should lose our wonder about the world or the people around us. When we do, we lose so much, because curious is how God made us to be. Without curiosity a Christian's life is incomplete. His relationship with God is incomplete. His connections to others are incomplete. He doesn't know how to interact with the world around him - politics, media, art, entertainment, science, and so much more simply fly past or overwhelm him.

La guerra non è faccenda da donne, eppure nel sanguinoso scacchiere dell’Italia del Quattrocento può accadere di tutto, anche che una fanciulla venga addestrata a combattere come un uomo. Il suo nome è Bona Lombardi, ma fra i mercenari della Banda Rossa agli ordini del generale Francesco Sforza tutti la conoscono con il nome di Gabrio. Cuore puro e occhi verdi come pietre di fiume, nel suo sangue scorre la ribellione: contro il destino che spetta alle donne, contro i soprusi degli uomini, contro chi ti attende nell’ombra per strapparti la vita o la dignità.

In this book, recovering cynic Barnabas Piper helps us to throw off both the unrealistic expectations that end in disappointment and the guilty sense that Christians are not meant to have fun.

You may be a new believer and wonder what it means to belong to a church; you may be reluctant to commit to your church because of past experiences; you may have recently relocated and want to find a church where you feel at home; or you may love your church and desire to commit to it more deeply and serve it more fully.
