The Kingdom Citizen: Understanding the Dominion, the Character, the Passion and the Power of the Citizen of Kingdom of God. To quote a favorite saying of some of the leading authorities on the subject of Purpose and Destiny: ‘where the purpose of a thing is not known, abuse is inevitable.’ For months after I became born-again I felt somehow incomplete. The bliss I was promised was not there and I was too much of a self realist to pretend to myself or anybody else for that matter that everything was all right. My limited experience in the world of born-again believers up to that time has been limited to leading me to Christ and the eternal salvation of my soul. However, once I found Christ, nobody told me what I am supposed to do here on earth, other than living holy and ‘guarding’ my salvation with fear and trembling, before I will finally receive the keys to my mansion in heaven when I die.

How well do you know the Bible? For too long we have read through the Scriptures as though they were composed in a timeless vacuum - but the peoples of the Ancient Near East and the First-Century knew things that we are no longer aware of, and saw the world in ways that are foreign to modern readers. The last 100 years of archaeology have upended much of what we thought we knew about the most important Book ever composed - the Bible. Archaeology, far from detracting from Biblical credibility - has solidified it. The sixty-six witnesses to the ministry of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob were written to specific people, and were composed in specific languages in the recognized literary styles of the time. That we have strayed from those ways of thinking and writing in no way invalidate the legitimacy of Scripture, but it does provide us with the unique challenge of needing to go back in order to see the Scriptural accounts from the eyes of the ancients. What did Covenant mean in the ancient world? What were the Kingly mandates of Justice and Righteousness? How do we know that the Land of Israel belongs to the sons of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob forever and that the Levitical Priesthood will and must be reinstated in the future? How do we know that the Messiah of Israel has already come and will return? What was the real debate raging in the First-Century Assemblies - was it about Grace versus Law or the Identity of the incoming Gentiles? King, Kingdom, Citizen is a book written to reintroduce God as our King, the Kingdom of Heaven as a real-world entity, and who we are in Messiah - through the eyes of those to whom this information was originally presented. Let me show you what Moses, the Prophets, and the Apostles knew about the Kingdom of Heaven.

The concepts of psychological literacy and the psychologically literate citizen promise to invigorate a new global approach to psychology education. They pose a basic question: What attributes and capabilities should undergraduate psychology majors acquire? Many psychological organizations have defined psychological literacy by guidelines and lists of student learning outcomes, but although psychology educators across the globe have been working towards helping students to acquire these attributes over the past 50 years, educators have only recently explicitly delineated attributes and learning outcomes, and sought to develop appropriate learning, teaching, and assessment strategies, including whole program approaches. The contributors to this volume argue that psychological literacy is the most important outcome of an undergraduate psychology education and that psychologically literate citizens use their knowledge of psychology to problem-solve in ethical and socially responsible ways that directly benefit their communities. In this book, a rich variety of international perspectives contribute to the development of the two key concepts of psychological literacy and the psychologically literate citizen. Authors provide practical guidance for classroom psychology educators, as well as curriculum developers and reviewers. Ultimately, they make the case for a paradigm shift in psychology education.

For Rob Peabody, the young pastor of a mega-church in southern USA, the realization that his faith had little real connection with the world around him meant that something had to change. He redirected his church towards the poor on their doorstep and then took the larger step of moving to the UK to establish the missional fellowship 'Awaken'. In Citizen, he outlines the Kingdom-centered identity that is given to followers of Jesus. It a wake-up call to the church in the West. Jesus' death and resurrection initiates and invites people into a life of so much more than the status quo. God is re-building, re-newing, and re-creating that which is broken and marred by sin, and he is doing this, setting things right in the world, through Jesus. As citizens of the Kingdom, we have been saved and set apart for this work. We have a new allegiance, a changed identity, and a new mission as we seek to establish the rule of God on earth as it is in Heaven.

• A must-read for Christians in the present political conversation • Speaks to the larger narrative of faith rather than mere partisan storytelling Citizen helps Christians find our place in the politics of the world. In these pages, Bishop Andy Doyle offers a Christian virtue ethic grounded in fresh anthropology. He offers a vision of the individual Christian within the reign of God and the life of the broader community. He adds to the conversation in both church and culture by offering a renewed theological underpinning to the complex nature of Christianity in a post-modern world. How did we get here? Is this the way it has to be? Are there implications for conversations about politics within the church? Doyle contends that our current debates are not about one partisan narrative winning, but communities of diversity being unified by a relationship with God’s grand narrative. Crafting a deep theological conversation with a unified approach to the Old and New Testament, Citizen asks, what does it truly mean to live in community?

The book Citizen Me, Servant of the Most High emphasizes service to our magistrate, the Most High God. It acknowledges that as Christians, we must accept that we are citizens of the kingdom of God and that we all serve the Lord of that kingdom. It visits concepts that challenge the average human being, no matter their perspective. It analyzes the ideals that challenge the act of servitude-obstacles, objections, and rebellion. It motivates concepts, suggestions, and directives from scripture that enhances the servant's attitude and performance. It further emphasizes the benefits, prestige, and authority provided by the Most High whom you serve. It identifies some of the earthly reward, along with the eventual blessed hope, to be enjoyed for eternity. It is obvious that all citizens in the kingdom of God are obligated to bring pleasure, glory, and honor to the Most High. You are created for His pleasure and given special talents, callings, and assignments from the Most High Himself. Some talents, callings, and assignments are universal, while others are specific and directed individually at you. He planned that you would be fruitful in service to Him. When you are not producing for the Most High, you are not living up to your potential. The Holy Bible is the foundation that supports this commentary. Prepare yourself to be a better servant, a servant of the Most High.
