But should we allow fear to play such                a large role in our lives? According to the religions of the world, the answer is                no.    In this helpful and illuminating book,                Michael Kinnamon challenges readers to consider why we find ourselves in this age of                fear and what we can do about it. Drawing on support from a diversity of religious                traditions and teachers, Kinnamon argues that religious faith is the best way to                combat a culture of fear. He explores fear in relation to the Israeli-Palestinian                conflict and the American political scene, and he shares courageous examples of                individuals from different religions working for peace.                      Perfect for individuals or group study, this book helps readers                understand the manipulative power of fear and how religious beliefs call us to                reject fear at all costs. A study guide is included.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50228114784529,"sku":"CIN0664262023VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50355858145553,"sku":"CIN0664262023G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51005511336209,"sku":"NIN9780664262020","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52127085789457,"sku":"NLS9780664262020","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0664262023.jpg?v=1751009573"},{"product_id":"summer-of-love-and-evil-book-michael-kinnamon-9780997913750","title":"Summer of Love and Evil","description":"\u003cb\u003eSyria is where food, memory, and resilience collide: recreate the flavors of this beautiful country in \u003ci\u003eOur Syria\u003c\/i\u003e, for delicious meals anywhere in the world.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Syria has always been the meeting point for the most delicious flavors from East and West, where spices and sweetness collide.

With praise for the founding leaders' willingness to follow their vision of what it meant to be church in their own time in history, the authors call on the denomination to do the same today, not in order to survive as an institution, but in order to enhance the church's participation in God's mission of peacemaking and compassionate service.

But it is not clear that this ecumenical impulse will continue to figure prominently in the church's story. \u003cbr\u003e In this book Michael Kinnamon argues that the ecumenical movement, which has given such energy and direction to the church, needs to be reconceived in a way that provides renewing power for the church in this era -- and he shows how this might happen. He names the problems with ecumenism, identifies strengths and accomplishments upon which the church now can build, and suggests practical, concrete steps we can take in the direction of revitalization, especially at the local level.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51189091598609,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51189093662993,"sku":"NIN9780802870759","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51693143490833,"sku":"CIN0802870759VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52475381645585,"sku":"NLS9780802870759","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52582831522065,"sku":"GOR009731113","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52770550513937,"sku":"CIN0802870759G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0802870759.jpg?v=1751170000"},{"product_id":"nominee-book-michael-kinnamon-9780827225374","title":"The Nominee","description":"Matthew McAvoy's surprising nomination to lead his Christian denomination is, at first, exhilarating -- the apex of a career in ministry, education, and leadership. But that joy is undercut when a member of the church calls attention to Matthew's support for persons who are gay or lesbian. What follows is an eight-month ordeal, challenging Matthew and providing a new awareness of what the gospel demands. When the opposition becomes a threat, the story takes a sinister turn that involves not only Matthew but his whole family-and raises even more questions about the meaning of leadership in our age.
