Book Description
The United States is suffering through a season of social and political division unseen since the Civil War. Unrest over long-standing social (especially racial) injustices are confronting new, antidemocratic perspectives and practices. So much is at stake. Will this country fulfill or abandon its historic commitment to equality and civil liberties? Can a nation so divided come together again? These questions cut to the core of the beliefs articulated by Christian communities. How can we as people of faith reconcile the call to participate in God's ongoing struggle for justice while not losing our souls to hatred? How can we love our enemies in this time? Scott Black Johnston believes that there is a way to pursue this difficult work and that people of faith can light the way. He encourages us to recommit to our highest principles—our virtues—and to turn hearts poisoned by cynicism into instruments of love. From his pulpit in midtown Manhattan, just one block from Trump Tower, Johnston has a unique perspective on the ideological discord tearing at the nation's fabric. From there, he raises a moral voice that beckons us to become better neighbors, better citizens, better human beings. He calls for the church to model robust advocacy for justice, without denying the full humanity of those on the other side of the argument. This provocative book brings the wisdom of Scripture into conversation with such diverse minds as Emily Dickinson, Ta-Nehisi Coates, Ayn Rand, and Mister Rogers. Johnston's prose is by turns erudite and poignant, yet always insightful. He offers not just words of hope but a prescribed course of action for individuals and communities alike, as we look to mend our souls and restore our civic life.

Book Description
I don't believe in coincidence, I believe everything that happens is God ordained, and happens for a reason. My daughters always remind me I could teach a lesson from a rock. Even the whole world reveals God's creation, and if we remain silent, the rocks will cry out proclaiming the glory of God. You are one of the greatest glories God ever created. We are created in God's image, and for his glory. Seeking God Daily is a devotional written to encourage and strengthen your walk with God. I put a scripture that spoke to me with each picture I took through the year and wrote a devotional to go with the scripture. Maybe you've drifted farther away from God than you intended too. Perhaps you feel stranded and bogged down in your life today. Just as an artist paints a masterpiece, or wood worker can turn a piece of wood into a work of art. God, the great creator, can turn you into a work of art as well. God isn't finished with you yet! God sees beauty where no one else does.
