Getting the Gospel Right, Cornelius P. Venema. Everygeneration of Christian believers faces the challenge ofproclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ with integrity and in
conformity to the teaching of the Scriptures. But what do the
Scriptures teach with regard to the central message of thegospel? Were the Reformers correct to insist that the goodnews of God's gracious and free acceptance of guilty sinners,on the basis of the obedience and atoning sacrifice of Christ,
lies at the heart of the gospel? Or are we to accept the 'newperspectives' on Paul's teaching, which have been advocatedin recent years by those who have made a fresh study of therelevant historical sources? Since the new perspectives
challenge some of the basic features of the traditional
Protestant understanding of justification, they require careful
study and thoughtful evaluation. Nothing less than the shape ofthe evangelical church's proclamation of the gospel today is atstake. B6 size, 112 pages ISBN978-4-264-03961-7 (Pauro

Yancey also provides glimpses of the faith journeys of 13
notable people who've modeled for him a life-enhancing rather

Stones Also Cry Out, Megumi Enomoto. Signposts of the 70
years after WW2. The author shares essays on peace from theview of the Christian Ashram movement founded by his father,
Yasurō Enomoto. Ashram meetings focus on listening to God'svoice by reading a Bible passage and then discussing it with
nobody as leader or speaker. So he shares meditations onMatthew 26: 47-50 and other passages. He also introduces an
Okinawan peacemaker Shōko Ahagon and his work. He
shares a biblical basis for peace, not a humanistic one. The
context is present day Japan now in the process of breaking
the peace of the post WW2 years in response to regional
issues (N. Korea, etc). Christians need to speak out with abiblical view, or "the stones will cry out"(Lk.19:40). B6* size,

Good and Beautiful Community, The, James Brian Smith.
Subtitle: Following the Spirit, Extending Grace, Demonstrating
Love. This is the third volume in the “Exercise” series. This
volume is on how to live in relationship with others asapprentices of Jesus. Apprentices of Jesus are not part-time
do-gooders. They live in continuous contact with the kingdomof God, and are constantly men and women in whom Christ
dwells. They do not sometimes tell the truth, sometimes live
sacrificially or sometimes forgive. There are myriad
opportunities for us to impact the world in which we live. Yet
many times we tend to emphasize personal faith over social
justice or vice versa. Smith shows us how to bring spiritual
formation and community engagement together, and then once
again offers spiritual practices that root new, true narratives
about God and the world in our souls. His insight and humility
as a fellow learner with us will lead us to live in authentic ways
as a good and beautiful community of Christ-followers, shining
the light of the Spirit into every relationship. Includes reflection
and discussion questions. B6* size, 352 pages. ISBN 978-4264-03952-5 (Ekusasaizu III: Tomo ni Kami no Ai ni Ikiru)(14520) ¥2,376

ruin: anger, lust, lying, worry and judging. This leads to living abeautifully packaged life of self-destruction. Following

What Is the Lord's Supper?, R. C. Sproul. In this booklet, Dr. R.
C. Sproul cuts through the confusion to define the supper,
demonstrate what it means, and show how important it is forthe lives of believers and churches. He explains the differences
between
Lutheran(consubstantiation),
Catholic(transubstantiation) and Reformed (spiritual presence –his ownview) church teachings pertaining to the Lord's supper, andtouches on the view it is a remembrance and not a sacrament.
He explores the origins of the supper and explains what it does
for us. Here is teaching that will enhance any reader’sappreciation for the work of Christ that is pictured in the bread
and wine. B6 size, 72pp. ISBN 978-4-264-03626-5 (Seisan to

What Is the Trinity? R. C. Sproul. Crucial Questions Series. The
Trinity is truly a mystery. This doctrine teaches that the God of
Christianity is one in His essence but three in His persons--theFather, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Though the word Trinity is
not found in the Bible, there is no doubt that the Scriptures
teach this triune nature of God. Christians worship one God
who manifests Himself in three distinct persons. Sproul deals
with objections and also outlines the chief errors on this
doctrine that have affected the church. While this truth isdifficult to understand, it is not contradictory. Rather, it is abeautiful expression of the biblical teaching on the nature ofGod. B6 size, 80 pp. ISBN 978-4-264-03857-3 (Sanmi Ittai to

and recognize biblical elements in order to reach Japanese for
Christ is good. But the danger is in compromising withunbiblical elements that results in syncretism and not true

Bible in Politics, The, Richard Bauckham. The author shows
how to read the Bible politically and to gain an understandingof the social relevance of the Bible that is disciplined, informed,
imaginative, and politically fruitful. He offers neither a summaryof the political teaching of the Bible nor a program for Christianpolitical action, but a prerequisite for those things: a course inpolitical hermeneutics. He pays close attention to the text ofscripture and believes the eye-witness accounts of Jesus'
teaching are reliable. He uses selected Bible passages as
examples in meditations on, Leviticus 19, Proverbs 31:1-9,
Psalms 10 and 126, Jesus on taxes (Matt. 17, Mark 11-12),
Exodus, Revelation 18, the Book of Esther, and the Genesis
Flood. In these he sees themes that apply to today's world:righteous living, power, oppression, taxes, urban life, service
and freedom, the Jewish holocaust and the nuclear holocaust.
