Andrew Peterson believes that God calls us to proclaim the gospel and the coming kingdom using whatever gifts are at our disposal. He's stumbled along the way, made mistake after mistake, and yet has continually encountered the grace of God through an encouraging family, a Christ-centered community of artists in the church, and the power of truth, beauty, and goodness in Scripture and the arts. At the intersection of songwriting, storytelling, and vocation, along with nuts-and-bolts exploration of the great mystery of creativity, Andrew describes six principles for the writing life: serving the work, serving the audience, selectivity, discernment, discipline, and community. This book is both a memoir of Andrew's journey and a handbook for anyone interested in imitating the way the Creator interacts with his creation, written in the hope that his story will provide encouragement to others stumbling along in pursuit of a calling to adorn the dark with the light of Christ. - Back cover.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kwzr7cpnde1bm08p61qaqjg2.jpg?v=f459f2a949","L24.b%tQ4Taf.lozMdaeNFayxtj[",2019,224,[159],{"id":160,"slug":161,"name":162},"01kny771ggvqe1jhencmkkbsys","andrew-peterson-46vo","Andrew Peterson",[164,165],{"id":37,"name":38,"slug":39,"is_fiction":19},{"id":166,"name":167,"slug":168,"is_fiction":19},89,"Memoir","memoir",[],{"pace":104,"complexity":7,"audience":68,"mood":171,"themes":172,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[71,106],[],{"id":174,"slug":175,"title":176,"description":177,"primary_cover_url":178,"cover_blurhash":179,"first_publish_year":180,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":181,"authors":182,"genres":188,"series":191,"enrichment":192},"01kwzraj8masndh2znaexgpfv8","loving-god-9wjd","Loving God","This book, years after reading it, is in my memory, it is so poignantly written.

The prayers in Everyday I Pray culled from Iyanla's own prayer journal, address a variety of topics and situations.

We often think of doubt as the opposite of faith, but could it actually strengthen our relationship with God? According to John Ortberg, best-selling author and pastor, the very nature of faith requires the presence of uncertainty. In this refreshingly candid look at a life of faith, he traces the line between belief and unbelief: less a dividing line between hostile camps than a razor's edge that runs through every soul. His findings point us toward the relief of being totally honest. Questions can expand our understanding, uncertainty can lead to trust, and honest faith can produce outrageous hope. Written from Ortberg's own struggle with faith and doubt, this book will challenge, comfort, and inspire you with the truth that God wants all of us---including our doubts.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kwzra2ap4xebp6sb2j1mk1ph.jpg?v=00c9598b50","L16bikL}00tLujk@BtIV?_t%Dzt7",2008,"3.00",[260],{"id":261,"slug":262,"name":263},"01kpegsp9xh3d0k5z02d2zvc11","john-ortberg-z7lh","John Ortberg",[265,266],{"id":37,"name":38,"slug":39,"is_fiction":19},{"id":211,"name":212,"slug":213,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":104,"complexity":7,"audience":68,"mood":269,"themes":270,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[71,106],[],{"id":272,"slug":273,"title":274,"description":7,"primary_cover_url":275,"cover_blurhash":276,"first_publish_year":277,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":278,"authors":279,"genres":284,"series":291,"enrichment":292},"01kx266nrvexv777b68gn78v9c","challenge-of-a-liberal-faith-2nr7","Challenge of a Liberal Faith","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx266nsc3e57dhzr4kn91e12.jpg?v=c9a78e5c59","L4CjSr~WZ{?b9NRkM|Rk009HD*M{",1988,246,[280],{"id":281,"slug":282,"name":283},"01kx266ns6q027kbc2cjvn0dtm","george-n-marshall-1y3i","George N.

In The Modernity of Witchcraft, Peter Geschieres uses his own experiences among the Maka and in other parts of eastern and southern Cameroon, as well as other anthropological research, to argue that contemporary ideas and practices of witchcraft are more a response to modern exigencies than a lingering cultural custom. The prevalence of witchcraft, especially in African politics and entrepreneurship, demonstrates the unlikely balance it has achieved with the forces of modernity.
