Severing the Root of Sin with the Promises of God No one sins out of duty. We sin because it offers some promise of happiness. Thatpromise enslaves usuntil we believe that God is more desirable than life itself(Psalm 63:3).

Delighting in the bounty of Gods glorious gospel promises will free us for a less sin-encumbered life, to the glory of Christ. Rooted in solid biblical reflection, this book aims to help guide you through the battles to the joys of victory by the power of the gospel and its superior pleasure.Practical: fresh introduction and conclusion paired with distilled application chapters from John Pipers larger volume, Future GraceExplores Sanctification: Helps readers put sin to death and trust in the power of God instead Written by John Piper: Author of Desiring God; Dont Waste Your Life; Providence; and more

Gods Providential Work in Creation Before Life Began God has been present and active in creation from the moment he created it ex nihilo. Few Christians would question this claim, but its implications for ongoing theologyand science dialogues have not been fully explored. In this pathbreaking and field-advancing work, Ross Hastings brings his expertise in both scientific and theological disciplines to bear on the topic of divine providence in chemicalevolution. Based on the latest research in the developing field of chemical evolution and the work of theological giants such as Karl Barth, Hastings shows how God may have been providentially and non-competitively at work in the process by which simple prebiotic molecules gave rise to the complex molecules in the first living organisms. In God and Molecules, Hastings provides cutting-edge theological engagement with the developing scientific field of chemical evolution, advances the discussion in theology and science with this new integrative work, and offers a holistic alternative for thinking about chemical evolution that overcomes the binary of theology versus science. God and Molecules pushes toward new frontiers in theology and science and casts a compelling, integrative, and ultimately healing vision for how God has been lovingly involved in the developmental process of the earliest life on earth.

Bringing Integrity to the Stories Numbers Tell When we tell stories with numbers, we depend on the field of statisticsbut how do we know that those stories are true? Almost everything in life is connected to data, and thatdata can help us make sense of truth in a world that feels increasingly challenging to navigate as Christians. But in a world where we are told to "do our own research," it can be nearly impossible to know whether were just gravitating toward stories that confirm our own untested biases, or whether were analyzing the data in a way that is illuminating truth. Exploring a range of contemporary topics, professor of statistics Jason Wilson shows both non-experts and experts alike that statistics has something to say when it relates to the polarizing issues that we face today. Exploring topics such as gambling, Covid, and media bias, Wilson shows that the ways we collect, organize, analyze, and interpret data have something to say in conversation with the Christian faith. In Statistics and Faith, youll find examinations of contemporary issues using statistical concepts, tools, and theories; case studies from history that show how statistics can be used in ways that are helpful or harmful; application chapters based on over fifteen years of research; and reflection questions to help you explore how to do statistics with integrity. This book is ideal for professors seeking to help students explore the history and application of statistics from a Christian worldview as well as for Christians who are curious about how we understand truth through numbers. It serves as an idealsupplementary text for statistics courses and other disciplines that incorporate statistical methods, and it offers an insightful perspective on how statistics in conversation with Christian faith can speak to todays polarizing issues, empowering readers to discern truth through data in a noisy world.
