He understands issues such as secularism and Christian culture from the perspective of the unbroken experience of the Church, as revealed and communicated in her worship, in her liturgy-the sacrament of the world, the sacrament of the Kingdom.For over half a century For the Life of the World has challenged, illumined, and inspired readers from many backgrounds. For some it is an introduction to the Orthodox Church, while for others it is a call to plunge more deeply into the life of the Kingdom, both manifested and anticipated here and now in the liturgy of the Church.

    Maxwell probes in The Smallest Part, as he concludes that every Christian must be aware of the implications of his beliefs without making these a condition of his association with his fellowmen.Part 1 of the book deals with what the author calls "Some Strategic Matters"—truth, morality, and causality, and discusses the fact that how an individual views such fundamentals determines so much else, particularly his behavior toward others.Part 2 presents observations and challenges on how the Christian can magnify his stewardship and commitment by helping others, managing his time and tasks more effectively, and learning to communicate better with others. The author points out how these outward expressions of one's work are in reality "expressions of our inner beliefs."All who are called to lead—executives, teachers, parents, communicators, managers, and others—will find helpful insight in The Smallest Part, which takes its title from the poignant words of Ammon in the Book of Mormon as he gloried in God's goodness to mankind: "Behold, I say unto you, I cannot say the smallest part which I feel."

    . . and their messages and lessons for women today.More than just a faddish look at a few bad girls from the Bible, this is the most widely used and best-selling study of Bible women-good and bad. Drawing on the life, character, and experiences of more than thirty women of the Bible, the author combines solid biblical knowledge, interesting historical background, and human warmth to make these women live and speak to women today.While the world has changed dramatically since these women lived, human nature and the pressures of female life have not. Imagination and insight add perception to these factual accounts taken directly from Scripture. Thoughtful and sympathetic questions for discussion at the end of each chapter allow today's women to personally apply the lessons of the women God has chosen to preserve in Scripture.Captivating reading for personal insight. Readily adaptable to any class or study group setting. A superlative book for every woman who longs to achieve all that God has planned for her.
