This ninth volume of Favorite Science Fiction Stories is a little unusual, in that it includes a few stories that are not really that short, bordering on novellas. Titles include: "The Concrete Mixer" by Ray Bradbury, "Farewell to the Master" by Harry Bates, "Bedside Manner" by William Morrison, "The Inferiors" by Mari Wolf, "The Aggravation of Elmer" by Robert Arthur, "Conquest over Time" by Michael Shara, "The Virgin of Valkarion" by Poul Anderson, "No Charge for Alterations" by H. L. Gold.

This volume includes articles about three topics: The Trinity, the Bible, and the Holy Spirit. It explores what the Bible teaches about the Trinity and the Spirit, and about itself. We also include an overview of Trinitarian theology, which includes the good news about God’s desire for eternal relationship with the human beings he has created. The articles were written over a span of some 20 years, but have all been recently edited for publication as e-books and as this printed volume and its companion Kindle version. Articles about Jesus Christ are in volume 2.

Who can find a woman of such worth? The description given in Proverbs 31 is a composite - no one person has all these abilities - but all people can have the greatest virtue. This e-book also contains vignettes of Miriam, Deborah, Bathsheba, and women in the ministry of Jesus. Two articles address the question of what roles women may have in the church today.

We recommend that church leaders pursue formal education that gives both breadth and depth. However, formal education is not practical for everyone. We recommend here a plan by which a person might use free resources from the Grace Communion International website to guide them in their education. There are two important components of this list: 1) prioritization and 2) breadth. 1) Prioritization: Our website has more than 1000 articles, and it can be difficult to know where to start. Of these articles, which are the most important? We try to provide some guidance on that by putting them ...

Many Christians have questions about the laws of the Old Testament. Many claim to keep the Ten Commandments, for example, but then ignore one of them — the seventh-day Sabbath. Their “Ten” means only nine — and many can’t explain why. They may say, “The Sabbath was an Old Testament law” — but so were the other nine! Why one and not the others? As another example, many churches teach that Christians should tithe — give ten percent of their income to the church. But if the seventh-day Sabbath does not apply to Christians, why should the law of tithing apply? Why one Old ...

What does the Bible say about women in leadership? The articles in this book originated as Grace Communion International wrestled with this question. The early articles were designed for members. As we explored the subject, we saw that more detailed work was warranted, and in 2004, we began an exegetical study of the key passages, designed for pastors. A careful study was done in Scripture, with special attention to certain key New Testament texts. Both complementarian and egalitarian scholars sometimes push the evidence further than is warranted. With a cautious approach, we concluded that...

Sometimes Jesus talked about the kingdom of God as if it were already here, and sometimes he talked as if it were far in the future. Which is it, and how does it affect life right now? Another way to approach the question is to observe that Jesus preached about the kingdom of God, but his disciples preached about Jesus. Why this difference in focus, and why does it matter for us today? In this collection of articles, we look at what Jesus said about the kingdom, the parables he used to describe it, and how Paul integrated that into his message of salvation through faith in Christ. In the ...

In this collection of articles, we present 10 basic doctrines of Christianity, with an explanation of the basic features of each biblical teaching. We follow each doctrinal article with two articles explaining how the doctrine makes a difference in our lives - how it encourages us to respond in a certain way. This series has been designed as a discipleship manual for new Christians, and was previously published with the title Discipleship 101. Here are the ten topics we cover: God Jesus Jesus’ Death Jesus’ Resurrection The Holy Spirit Salvation? Christian Life The Church? Scripture The ...

This volume includes articles about the church, its people, and its leadership. Several articles are about small churches. One section looks at worship, another at money. The meaning and role of the Lord’s Supper and baptism is also included. A collection of articles about church history completes the volume. The articles were written over a span of some 20 years, but have all been recently edited for publication as e-books and as this printed volume and its companion Kindle version. Articles about missions will be in the next volume.

This is the third volume in our series for church leaders who want to continue their theological education with free resources from the GCI website. Some articles are long, and some are short, but the average is still 2500 words per day, which can be read in about 20 minutes. On each of the major topics, much more could be said, and we often have additional resources on our website. For example, we have more than 100 articles about different chapters in the Bible, numerous articles on church history, prayer, missions, and other topics. Many of the website resources have been compiled into ...

This is the second volume in our series for church leaders who want to begin their theological education with free resources from the GCI.org website. For each day, we present (on average) 2500 words, which can be read in 15-20 minutes. We again aim for variety, and go deeper into some doctrines than we were able to go in the first volume. All the articles are on our website; an index with links is at www.gci.org/discipleship/80. Church leaders should already be familiar with most of the doctrines presented in these articles, but a review can be helpful in firming up a foundation for new ...
