From Birth to Resurrection in the Gospel of Luke Jesus came to lift up the lowly. Throughout his ministry to his final days on the road to the cross, we find stories of his relationships with ordinary, flawed, and unexpected people. He met, dined, and traveled with people who were not perfect. Many of them were struggling, some were outsiders or even outlaws. Whoever they were, from those he healed to the outlaws with him at his crucifixion, Jesus brought the good news of God’s kingdom to those who most needed to hear it. In Luke: Jesus and the Outsiders, Outcasts, and Outlaws, pastor and bestselling author Adam Hamilton explores the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus as told in the Gospel of Luke. Through Luke’s stories we find Jesus’ care and compassion for all as he welcomes sinners and outcasts. As we study Luke and see Jesus’ concern for those who were considered unimportant, we hear a hopeful and inspiring word for our lives today. The book can be read alone or used for a group study and church-wide Lenten program. Additional components include video teaching sessions featuring Adam Hamilton, a comprehensive leader guide, free downloadable resources for children and youth, and a digital worship and sermon helps. The book includes a link to download the free teaching resources for children and youth.

Final Words

"If your enemies are starving, feed them some bread; if they are thirsty, give them water to drink." Proverbs 24:17 (CEB) There is nothing more crippling than holding on to anger. Anger, more than any other emotion, has the power to consume all aspects of our lives, distort our sense of purpose, and destroy our relationship with God. In the passionate and life-changing book Forgiveness: Finding Peace Though Letting Go, bestselling author Adam Hamilton brings the same insight that he applied in the bestseller "Why?" to the challenge of forgiveness. Hamilton argues that revelation comes when we realize that forgiveness is a gift we give ourselves rather than to someone else. He also contends that only when we learn to forgive others and ourselves can we truly receive forgiveness from God. “Adam Hamilton not only reminds us about the importance of reconnecting the broken pieces of our lives, but shows how the process of grace and forgiveness is possibly our most complete picture of God.” --Shane Stanford, author of Making Life Matter: Embracing the Joy in the Everyday “The heartbeat of the gospel is grace. With practical insight, Hamilton makes grace understandable--both for seeking and for granting forgiveness. I highly recommend this book.” --Melody Carlson, author of Healing Waters: A Bible Study on Forgiveness, Grace, and Second Chances “Adam Hamilton’s book offers clear guidance for believers struggling with the practical application of our biblical imperative to forgive. It is a must-read for both Christian counselors and every person who has something or someone to forgive.” --Jennifer Cisney Ellers, author of The First 48 Hours: Spiritual Caregivers as First Responders "Deeply rooted in the Bible’s testimony about God’s extravagant mercy, this fine little book explores the Christian call to practice both repentance and forgiveness in the image of God. Straightforward and practical, Hamilton vividly sketches the habits of the heart that discipleship requires in our daily relationships with spouses and intimate life partners, family members, friends and strangers." --Patricia Beattie Jung, Professor of Christian Ethics, Saint Paul School of Theology

Faith as Wesley Lived It

Dass wir Angst empfinden, ist ein Geschenk Gottes. Denn sie bewahrt uns vor Gefahren und lässt uns handeln. Doch Angst kann unser Leben auch bestimmen: Wir machen uns Sorgen über die Zukunft, in Zeiten von Corona sicherlich in besonderer Weise über unsere Gesundheit und im Blick auf das Gesundheitswesen überhaupt - wir haben Angst vor der Überlastung von Ärzten und des Pflegepersonals, denken an die begrenzten Kapazitäten von Krankenhäusern. Und an die wirtschaftlichen Folgen der Corona-Krise. Wenn solche negativen Gedanken in uns kreisen, können sie uns die Freude rauben. Sie halten uns davon ab, zuversichtlich zu leben. In diesem Buch zeigt der Pastor und Bestseller-Autor Adam Hamilton, wie biblische Geschichten uns Frieden, Mut und Hoffnung schenken. Anhand von 31 Geschichten aus der Bibel schildert er, wie Menschen auch in schwierigen Lagen Hoffnung in Gott fanden. Einen Monat lang entfaltet er für jeden Tag eine neue Lektion und zeigt anschaulich, wie die Liebe Gottes und seine Erlösung uns Kraft geben können für unseren eigenen täglichen Kampf.
