Paperback. Condition: Good. Life is a mystery. How can it be understood? Life is an ocean. How can it be navigated? Throughout history there have been some basic options presented to humans about how to navigate life-options that offer a map of what kind of reality we live in and how we can steer through it. It would be nice if we all already agreed on these basic issues, but we don't. And even though we may have been raised with a mental map of reality that seems to have worked thus far, we all owe it to ourselves to think about whether what we have taken for granted is really true. This book is an argument that the mystery of life is best understood through the mystery of Christ. The Pajama Philosopher focuses on making a cognitive case for Christianity by examining its philosophical, theological, and practical roots and ramifications. More importantly, it invites the reader to become truly self-aware about what you already believe, in order to then be able to scrutinize your stance toward reality. In a personal and non-academic style, this book explores some of the deepest intersecting issues of philosophy and religion. It compares cosmologies and then argues for a vision of history that aims for the transformation of all human life. Beginning with your own.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Our vocation is the outworking of how God has made us. It is not a goal on the horizon but a present reality that we are called to discern and explore. However, in the midst of our daily lives, finding meaning can prove both difficult and elusive, and we are often left wondering if we are missing out on God's purpose for our lives. Gordon Smith invites us to reflect on our vocation and step into God's call in the present moment. When discerning our vocation feels overwhelming, Smith offers a simple question as a way forward: "At this time and place, who am I meant to be, and what am I called to do?" Theologically and historically grounded, Your Calling Here and Now offers theological reflections and spiritual practices that will help you discern God's call on your life. Whether you are navigating career transitions or looking for meaning in the ordinary, God has a purpose for your life for the here and now.…
