An Afterword has been included, written by the Revd Dave Tomlinson, vicar of St Luke 's Church in Holloway (London). Recommended by Rev.

Jamie Winship spent nearly 30 years living and working in conflict zones, and during that time he has learned an important truth: all human conflict originates from fear, and fear originates from a false view of God, ourselves, and others. Until we exchange what's false for what's real, we will never experience being fully alive, fully human, and fully free. Unpacking the power of knowing our true identity in Christ, Winship takes us on a journey of telling ourselves the truth, changing our mindsets, and experiencing actual life transformation that leads to radical courage in the face of all that life throws at us. With humor, clarity, and real-life practicality, Living Fearless is your invitation to listen closely to what God is trying to say to you about himself, about the person he created you to be--and also about all those other people he created and loves. If you want to discover the incredible difference abiding in Christ will make in your life and faith, get ready to do "a new thing" with God.

At the creation of the world, God gave mankind the responsibility to exercise dominion over the earth. Man was to use the earth and its abundance of resources to satisfy his physical needs, but he was also to care for the earth and its creatures as a wise and godly steward. Reading about endangered species or another oil spill will make it abundantly clear that the human race has failed miserably in its God-given mandate. How did we get to this point? Where should we go from here? This classic by Francis Schaeffer, now repackaged, looks at contemporary ecological crises through the lens of theology and Scripture. Renowned for his work in applied philosophy and theology, Schaeffer answers serious philosophical questions about creation and ecology. He concludes that we must return to a profoundly and radically biblical understanding of God’s relationship to the earth, and of our divine mandate to exercise godly dominion over it. Repackaged and republished, Pollution and the Death of Man carries an important and relevant message for our day. With concluding chapter by Udo Middelmann.

When Susan Vandenheuvel gave her life to Christ, she immediately immersed herself in Bible study and started attending church. But despite knowing in her head that she'd been forgiven and transformed, she couldn't let go of her regrets. She continued to live a life in bondage to self-destructive behaviors-even though she longed to be free, to be that new creation mentioned in scripture. Her insecurities kept her from knowing in her bones that she belonged to God. But once she put her confidence in God rather than in fleshly pursuits and perspectives, she learned to walk in the truth of Isaiah 43:1: "Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; you are Mine." Over ten scripture-supported chapters filled with gently probing questions that inspire self-reflection, Susan will teach you too how to throw off the shackles of false identity and claim ownership of your God-given labels: victorious, forgiven, loved, chosen, fearless, unashamed, redeemed, purposeful, and unshaken. Much like the anointed voices of other well-known Bible teachers, Susan Vandenheuvel encourages women to open the eyes of their hearts and see themselves as they truly are-powerful daughters of the King!
