Book excerpt: The God who set aside power in order to live out love--fully expressing that love on Calvary's tree--is at the core of the Christian message to the world. Yet in the centuries since Christ's refusal to yield to Satan's temptation to establish his kingdom through economic, political, and religious power, the Church has struggled to make the same refusal. In Choose Love Not Power, scholar, activist, and modern-day prophet Tony Campolo explores the relationship between love and power, beginning with an examination of Jesus' life and working toward a "theology of power" for Christians today. He surveys the implications of choosing love over power when it comes to the global community's most pressing issues--environmental degradation, economic inequality and instability, and perpetual war. Dr. Campolo suggests that the choice between love and power begins close to home: Christ-followers who choose love over power in marriage and in parenting will likewise opt for love in their churches, communities, and governments. The growing number of believers seeking a more authentically Christlike way to be Christian in a diverse, pluralistic society will be challenged and encouraged by this unflinching look at Jesus's example of love.

Book excerpt: What can we hope for at the end of the world? What can we trust in when community has broken our hearts? What would it mean to pursue justice without violence? How can we love in the absence of faith? In a heartbreaking yet hopeful collection of personal essays and prose poems, blending the confessional, political, and literary, Kai Cheng Thom dives deep into the questions that haunt social movements today. With the author’s characteristic eloquence and honesty, I Hope We Choose Love proposes heartfelt solutions on the topics of violence, complicity, family, vengeance, and forgiveness. Taking its cues from contemporary thought leaders in the transformative justice movement such as adrienne maree brown and Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha, this provocative book is a call for nuance in a time of political polarization, for healing in a time of justice, and for love in an apocalypse.

Book excerpt: Stormie Omartian’s bestselling books on the power of prayer have touched millions of lives. Recent books have taken a closer look at the leading of the Holy Spirit and the call to be a prayer warrior for God. Now Stormie takes a fresh look at another powerful aspect of knowing our Creator...His amazing and great love for us. We reflect God most clearly when we are motivated by the power of love in all we say and do. But first we have to understand the depth of God's love for us and receive it. Then we must learn how to effectively express our love for Him. “One of the many ways we can show our love to God is to deliberately choose to show love to others and in every situation,” says Stormie. “We can only accomplish this with the guidance and enablement of the Holy Spirit. When we do that, God blesses us and transforms our lives in ways we cannot even imagine. And we will have a sense of God's pleasure toward us that is far more valuable than anything else we may desire. This book is about making that sometimes difficult choice and the rewards that follow.” Transform your heart, your relationships, and your future as you press into God’s love and let the power of His life and character move through you.

Book excerpt: Our Choices Lead to Happiness or Sadness Due to the situations, many people find themselves in; they think that the power of choice has been taken from them. They feel helpless, out of control of their own life. There are two main choices in this world, you can choose to FEAR the future, which limits the options available to you, or you can choose to have FAITH which opens up unlimited options. Through the media. Be it television, newspaper or the Internet we can be bombarded with fear from a morning to night, so much so that we become accustomed to it and take it as the norm.If you are looking for examples of faith then you have to search for it, seek it out. Making the Right Choice In this book, I would like to restore some of that faith that may have been taken from you throughout the years. I will share stories of how both faith and fear are equally powerful and need to be treated as so. FEAR can bring sickness, depression, heartache. FAITH can bring healing, good fortune, mental clarity. When you take responsibility that the power of choice is within you and not in the circumstances that affect your life, then with that comes an within bliss. As you stand in faith, it allows Gods love to flow into your life, creating stronger family bonds, peace of mind, healing, often off incurable diseases. I welcome you today to make a choice of faith and learn to leave fear behind. Where you once seen a dead end, you will now see crossroads. I leave the choice to join me up to you. Have a great day.
