Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are all blessed to different degrees in life. There are countless numbers of people praying earnestly for the things we take for granted daily. It is important to realise that the most valuable things in life are given to us freely, and many of us fail to appreciate and be thankful for these. Ingratitude for 'little' things locks up our 'big' blessings and deprives us of the power to live fully and enjoy the present. As we develop a heart of gratitude, the spiritual dimensions of life will truly open up to us. The wonders of gratitude open our eyes to the myriad of blessings that having a thankful heart will bring our way. It helps us appreciate the 'little' we have today and positions to receive all that tomorrow will bring to us.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Barclay explores Pauline theology anew from the perspective of grace. Arguing that Paul's theology of grace is best approached in light of ancient notions of "gift," Barclay describes Paul's relationship to Judaism in a fresh way. Barclay focuses on divine gift-giving, which for Paul, he says, is focused and fulfilled in the gift of Christ. He both offers a new appraisal of Paul's theology of the Christ-event as gift as it comes to expression in Galatians and Romans and presents a nuanced and detailed consideration of the history of reception of Paul, including Augustine, Luther, Calvin, and Barth.
