Lost Relation - Finding humanity and God - When the Party is over This is no trivial pursuit, but a carefully argued case for the answers given by biblical Christianity - but they are not stuffy, and don't ask you to throw away your head and leap. Investigate the big questions of our time -  What does it mean to be 'human'?  Is Darwinism evidence-based science?  Can we be sure about Jesus' identity?  How could anyone find God? And discover -  A view of Charles Darwin's Victorian society  Fascinating insights into Darwin's greatest discovery  How evolution destroys reason  The riches of biblical Christianity  A biblical worldview  Assurance of personal faith  The total sufficiency of Christ Finding hope - when the Party is over Michael Austin, author of Dawkins' Dilemmas and Looking at the Cross, shares biblical answers to some of the most vital questions of our time. Besides serving in Christian ministry, he worked as a development engineer and became deeply interested in design and creative thinking.

A philosophical foundation may be the last thing that parents think about in the middle of the day-to-day commotion of childrearing. But, Michael Austin writes, a philosophical understanding of parenting is not only vital, it's also practical. In this insightful resource, Austin argues that wise parents should view themselves as stewards of their children, and with this mindset they can gain a new understanding of the family. Wise Stewards combines biblical, theological, and philosophical reflection to construct an everyday ethic and practice of parenthood that is distinctly Christian. Addressing practical concerns such as how family members should relate to one another, how they should conceive of their roles, and how they should carry out their tasks, Austin helps parents apply these core ideas to their daily lives. Filling a noticeable gap in parenting literature, Wise Stewards brings the methods and insights of Christian philosophy to bear on the family in a way that is accessible, theoretically sound, and intensely practical.
