Dr. Michael Milton . . . deals with the subject head on . . . a must read . . . it is what is needed at this time! Chaplain (COL) David Peterson, US Army-R, Coordinator, Presbyterian and Reformed Joint Committee on Military Chaplaincy Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain? asked the psalmist (Psalm 2:1ESV). Yet in the postmodern city, the divergent voices find unity in opposition of the one who said, I am the way, the truth and the life . . . So how do we conduct faithful gospel ministry in this setting? As pastors? As chaplains? As church planters? As Christians in the workplace? In Cooperation without Compromise Dr. Michael A. Milton answers this timely question through coming to terms with pluralism, finding a working model to deal with it, testing the model against Scripture, and applying it in real life ministry settings. Originally presented to the Annual Meeting of the Evangelical Theological Society in Washington, D.C., in November 2006, the publisher is pleased to now make it available to a wider audience.

One second. One mistake. One firing of the missile in the midst of the war. The missile cannot come back. The weapon is now headed for you. And the one who fired it is on your side. It is war. Hit by friendly fire. This is not Baghdad or the Battle of the Bulge or Pork Chop Hill. I am speaking of the many walking wounded in the body of Christ who have been hurt by other believers, people who have been hit by the betrayal of a Christian. Thus Dr. Michael A. Milton begins this message. Diagnosing the problem, finding the biblical solution, and applying the divine balm with pastoral thoughtfulness, we are pleased to offer the Church a little booklet that has already been used by many to find hope and healing. This is a book for seasoned pastors and newly converted Christians, for idealistic students and cynical saints. It is a book for all of us. For at one time or another on this side of heaven, we could all get hit by friendly fire.

What does biblical faith look like? How does salvation work? Am I even saved? How do I know? Perhaps one of these questions has kept your thoughts captive. The apostle Peter in 1 Peter 1 communicates the inner workings of salvation and what salvation will bring forth in a person's life with profound clarity. Under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, Peter describes what a Christian is, what a Christian has to look forward to, and what being a Christian will increasingly mean as we live as exiles in this world. In A Steadfast Faith we examine the faith delivered to the saints once and for all with the goal of a greater assurance of God's salvation and a more fervent desire to know the God who justifies, sanctifies, and glorifies all those with a God-given steadfast faith in the gospel.

Winner of the Western Writers of America 2014 Spur Award for Best Western Nonfiction, Contemporary Mention the Colorado high country today and vacation imagery springs immediately to mind: mountain scenery, camping, hiking, skiing, and world-renowned resorts like Aspen and Vail. But not so long ago, the high country was isolated and little visited. Vacationland tells the story of the region's dramatic transformation in the decades after World War II, when a loose coalition of tourist boosters fashioned alluring images of nature in the high country and a multitude of local, state, and federal actors built the infrastructure for high-volume tourism: ski mountains, stocked trout streams, motels, resort villages, and highway improvements that culminated in an entirely new corridor through the Rockies, Interstate 70. Vacationland is more than just the tale of one tourist region. It is a case study of how the consumerism of the postwar years rearranged landscapes and revolutionized American environmental attitudes. Postwar tourists pioneered new ways of relating to nature, forging surprisingly strong personal connections to their landscapes of leisure and in many cases reinventing their lifestyles and identities to make vacationland their permanent home. They sparked not just a population boom in popular tourist destinations like Colorado but also a new kind of environmental politics, as they demanded protection for the aesthetic and recreational qualities of place that promoters had sold them. Those demands energized the American environmental movement-but also gave it blind spots that still plague it today. Peopled with colorful characters, richly evocative of the Rocky Mountain landscape, Vacationland forces us to consider how profoundly tourism changed Colorado and America and to grapple with both the potential and the problems of our familiar ways of relating to environment, nature, and place.
