James Clarke & Co Ltd Animals Are Not Ours No Really They Are Not
Book SynopsisWhy should Christians care about animals? Is there a biblical basis for abstaining from eating animals? Is avoiding companies that use (and misuse) animals a viable way for Christians to live out the message of God? Sarah Withrow King makes the argument that care for all of creation is no ''far-fetched'' idea that only radical people would consider, but rather a faithful witness of the peaceful kingdom God desires and Jesus modelled. This includes all living and breathing creatures that share this earth with us. King uses her decade-plus of experience as a vegan, her seminary education, her evangelical Christian faith, and her years working with People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals to call Christians to examine how we treat and view the nonhuman animals with whom we share a finite planet.Trade Review"Riveting and convicting. A major contribution to the neglected topic of animal liberation and animal rights, from an exciting new voice, this book is essential reading for all Christians." David P. Gushee, Distinguished University Professor of Christian Ethics Director, Centre for Theology and Public Life, Mercer University "Withrow King challenges us to look again at texts that may feel familiar, but only because we've read them a thousand times from the same perspective. But what if we change perspective? What if the biblical writers and the people they wrote about didn't see the world as we see it? What if those writers and people were not western, linear, dualistic thinkers who saw people not as separate from creation, but rather as part of it? What if God cares deeply for the entire community of creation? If so, then Withrow King's book is a gift to us all, offering one of the most comprehensive examinations of God's treatment of animals (and fauna) that I have ever seen. And - as the title hints - she has fun doing it! Animals Are Not Ours is a great and important read."

Harvest House Publishers,U.S. Putting Your Past in Its Place Moving Forward in
Book SynopsisMost people either give their past pains and experiences too little or too much importance and power. Pastor and biblical counselor Stephen Viars explores the role of the past as God intended and offers readers biblical examples and practical, encouraging steps toward a transformed today and a hope-filled future.Trade Review“The Christian counseling world has waited a long time for a book that has substantive help for people who are weighed down with problems from their past. It is finally here! Steve Viars has taken a difficult issue and, aptly and with clarity, applies practical theological answers to it. You cannot read this book without being personally changed. If you are looking for solid biblical answers about your past, this is the book for you.”—Dr. John D. Street, chair of the Master of Arts in Biblical Counseling program, The Master’s College and Seminary“The gospel promises believers the power to change, but those who’ve experienced deep pain in their past often struggle with living by faith. Pastor Steve Viars’ new book, Putting Your Past in Its Place, offers practical, compassionate, biblical help for those with painful personal histories, and for their pastors and counselors.”—Dr. Laura Hendrickson, author, biblical counselor, psychiatrist“Steve Viars is a pastoral psychologist of the best sort: realistic, practical, and thoroughly Christian. His book really does put the past in its proper place and does so by comforting, challenging, and encouraging those who need to make peace with their past. Whether you are struggling with the past yourself or one who counsels the strugglers, you cannot read this book and not be changed.”—Sam R. Williams, PhD, associate professor of counseling, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, Wake Forest, NC“Many of us remain paralyzed by our past even though freedom from our past was purchased on the cross. In this much-needed book, Steve Viars shows that the Bible teaches us what we need to know about learning from and disarming our past. So read well, see yourself, see Jesus, and receive His liberating grace.”—Paul Tripp, president, Paul Tripp Ministries and author of What Did You Expect? Redeeming the Realities of Marriage“If you long to get free from your past and into the glorious future God has for you, Steve Viars and his wonderful new book, Putting Your Past in Its Place, can show you the way. It is insightful, powerful, and immensely practical. Get one for every member of your family so they can join you in this bright new future free from the pain of your past.”—Dr. James MacDonald, senior pastor of Harvest Bible Chapel, Chicago“In Putting Your Past in its Place, experienced biblical counselor and respected Bible scholar Steve Viars seeks to answer the important question, What role does a person’s past play in his or her present-day living? Viars bases his answer not on his or any other human being’s opinion but on God’s authoritative, infallible Word. This interesting and insightful book will be of great benefit to many people. Counselors will find this book to be very helpful, as will Christians who struggle with discerning a biblical perspective.”—Wayne Mack, professor of biblical counseling, Grace School of Ministry, Pretoria and Capetown, South Africa“As a counselor I know people often get stuck in the past. Some wallow there and others make every effort to deny its effects. While Steve Viars boldly admits the importance of the past, he gives it no mystical power of causality for the redeemed. He is thoroughly biblical, pleasantly practical, and sets the record straight about how to handle your past in a God-honoring way. I challenge you to read this book with your own past in mind—then put your past in its place so you can help others do the same.”—Garrett Higbee, executive director of Twelve Stones Ministries and team leader of counseling ministry, Harvest Bible Chapel, Rolling Meadows, IL“Steve Viars knows the problems we face, but he also knows that the answers to our problems are found in the Bible. In Putting Your Past in its Place, he takes his wealth of experience in the pulpit and in the counseling room and applies it to the difficulties faced by those who feel shackled to their past. If you want to deal with your past and yes, put it in its proper place, then this book is for you. It is thoroughly biblical, deeply compassionate, and engagingly hopeful. Buy it!”—Elyse Fitzpatrick, head of Women Helping Women Ministries and author of Overcoming Fear, Worry, and Anxiety
