NEW RELEASE FROM HCU PRESS

The new Radiant book, Portraits of God's People, is now available!

It has often been said, “A picture is worth a thousand words.” However, the opposite can also be true—words can paint pictures of complex and significant concepts, using symbols we can see and identify with to represent things we cannot see but that are very real.

From the intimacy of the bride to the power of the kingdom and the nurturing bonds of family, we discover our identity, purpose, and interconnectedness through symbols brought to life in the pages of Scripture. Portraits of God's People invites us on a journey to explore the imagination of God and the beauty of how He expresses who His people are called to be. Through detailed observations by faithful women of God, the study of these timeless images urges us deeper into our relationship with God and our relationships with one another.

Reflect on the powerful metaphors that shape our faith and identity as the church with supplemental materials suitable for a variety of settings. Whether you are a long-time believer or a new Christian, this book offers a more profound understanding of the divine imagery that unites us and calls us to live out our distinctiveness as God’s people.

Books can be purchased at www.hcu.edu/publications. Copies will also be available to purchase at Polishing the Pulpit and Transform Ladies Conference.

🌟Book Spotlight🌟

According to the late Coy Roper, Christians who do their best to obey the Bible are, under ordinary circumstances, more likely to prosper than they would if they were not faithful Christians. "That All May Go Well" is a thoughtful examination of the complexities that underlie the question—”Why do Christians prosper?” Roper presents a balanced theology of prosperity by tackling poverty and financial insecurity, as well as the dangers of materialism.

🌟Book Spotlight🌟

"Redrawing the Blueprints for the Early Church: Historical
Ecclesiology in and around the Stone-Campbell Movement" reveals that members of the Stone-Campbell (or Restoration) Movement actually participated in a distinctively historical project because their efforts necessarily involved reading sources from and about the past and drawing conclusions about those readings. Through a variety of sources, John Young illustrates that restorationist groups have historically participated in a common pursuit of the early church.

HCU Press and Cypress Publications are proud to offer an array of books for personal Bible study, small group study, the avid reader, Bible class curriculum, and more.

This series of studies on the Gospel of Luke (thirteen chapters with an introduction and a discussion guide) aims to help Christians glean more from the longest of the canonical Gospels. Luke’s presentation of Jesus provides important and beloved stories about the Lord, including the lengthiest account of His birth and childhood, a distinctive account of His death and resurrection, and much unique material arising from His teachings, such as the Parable of the Good Samaritan and the Parable of the Prodigal Son.
