IVP Books. Amazon link here.
2023 is moving fast – and we are tired. It seems the world has been in a race to re-gather while eager to maintain all the innovations necessitated by Covid-19. It is often a heavy lift and one we are unsure we can, or even should, sustain. The pandemic is officially declared over – in the U.S., and yet hardships abound. How do we make peace with what is difficult to bear? In The Gift of Hard Things: Finding Grace in Unexpected Places (2016), Mark Yaconelli, founder, and executive director of The Hearth, a non-profit dedicated to building community through transformational storytelling, offers an insightful and deeply moving meditation on what he calls the “alchemy of grace.” ![]() An introduction to what scripture has to say about the dignity of LGBTQ people. In this bible study, Episcopal priest and former teacher Margie Baker shows teens how the bible affirms and supports all of God’s beloved children. Beginning with an exploration of what it means to be made in God’s image and the ways that God is represented with a variety of male and female images and concluding with an examination of how love for all our siblings is central to God’s relationship with humanity, the study encourages youth to see how a thread of inclusion runs through the bible.
Each chapter of God, Gospel, and Gender includes an opening prayer, an activity, opportunities to delve into the biblical text, prompts to respond to the text, and a closing prayer. Designed for use by groups or individuals, this book calls youth to affirm the dignity in every person. Order from any Episcopal bookstore, Amazon, Bookshop, or your favorite bookstore.
