Worship, Money and War

2 Compact Discs

Cyberspace Stress, Sabbath and Serenity

10 Compact Discs

The interplay between military might, wealth and the worshipping church is explored in this lecture given by Marva Dawn during Regent College's Spring Semester free Evening Public Lecture series. Among other particulars, the war in Iraq is addressed in light of these concerns.

How can Christians keep both sane and faithful in this hectic, confusing, technologically mind-boggling, cyberspaced world? How can we minister to those around us who are overwhelmed by the vexations of contemporary life? One of God's greatest gifts to us is the Sabbath, a day of rest, but much more than that.

Theology Of Weakness

9 Casssettes

Rethinking Worship for the New Millennium

9 Cassettes

This series explores how the Scriptures can form Christians to be able to bear suffering, to combat evil, and to comfort those in pain. It is hoped that listeners will gain new insights into the character and purposes of God, and will develop means by which to reach out to their afflicted neighbours with the grace, compassion, and mercy of God.

This series discusses the elements of our present postmodern, post-Christian culture which made the Church's worship necessary and, at the same time, difficult. Consideration is given to what mistakes, theological fallacies, false gods and ill-advised directions endanger the worship of the church and how to avoid them.

Featured Books by Marva Dawn

Joy In Our Weakness

A Gift of Hope from the Book of Revelation

Truly the Community

Romans 12 and How to be the Church

Now thoroughly revised for a wider readership, Joy in Our Weakness will provide a tremendous source of biblical inspiration for people who grieve as well as practical instruction for those who care for them. Neither a commentary on Revelation nor a devotional book - though offering the best aspects of both - Joy in Our Weakness is a theological and practical guide that ushers readers into the presence of Christ and his lordship over the powers of evil.

Many writers, both secular and religious, have decried the lack of intimacy and community in our contemporary culture. Few of them, however, offer practical suggestions for counteracting the isolation and alienation felt by so many people today. But Marva Dawn does this and more in Truly the Community. Through an intensive study of Romans 12, Dawn offers specific guidance for building vital Christian community

Powers, Weakness, and the Tabernacling of God

Unfettered Hope

A Call to Faithful Living in an Affluent Society

"In the wake of Jacques Ellul Marva Dawn asks hard questions about the church's carelessly and eagerly embracing too much of the world's notions of success and power. Into the middle of that gigantic misstep in the church, Dawn points again to the cross. She agilely moves back and forth between sharp theological critique and the concrete practice of the church... She has the real church and the real pastors in purview; and to us she speaks the reality of the gospel that has been so much distorted." -- Walter Brueggemann .

In this prophetic call to faithful Christian living, Marva Dawn identifies the epidemic socio-cultural attitudes that destroy hope in our modern lives. Because affluent persons don't know what to valuehow to choose what's important and weed out the rest—we remain dissatisfied with what we have and are compelled to want more. Dawn demonstrates, however, how Christians can organize their lives to live in ways that allow them to love God and neighbor and, in the process, alleviate the despair in their lives and in the lives of others in the world.
