Book Description
THE POWER TO SOLVE HUMAN PROBLEMS.
The ability of government and technology to solve human problems is, as Jaques Ellul points out, an empty promise. The only real answers come from pursuing the kingdom of God which brings about a revolution of the heart in the way we relate to one another.

Help is on the way.., Jun 23 2008
By Stryder "Stryer" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Resist the Powers--With Jacques Ellul (Paperback)
Some may remember the slogan "help is on the way" from the 2004 election cycle. The slogan for 2008 is recasted as "Hope" and "Change". This book is a good reminder that "Hope" cannot be found in the government or any man, but in G-d.

Guide to Gospel Centered Living, May 14 2011
By Justin - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Resist the Powers--With Jacques Ellul (Paperback)
This devotional is amazing! Charles Ringma does an outstanding job centering each day on prayer and reflection in the realms of our modern world all the while keeping in mind the truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Each entry I've read in this devotional is challenging, inspiring, and true. I have given it to a number of pastors and colleagues and they have all responded back with excitement and conviction. If you truly want to grow spiritually and build your faith on Christ's justice, compassion, and truth I highly recommend this devotional to you.

Excellent devotional, Oct 11 2010
By Matt Cummings - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Resist the Powers with Jacques Ellul (Paperback)
This devotional book could easily serve as an introduction to Ellul's thought process and theology. Ellul writes heavily on a Christian's role within society, keeping the faith, and how Christians relate to society. The book provides an Ellul quote, the author elaborating on the quote, a reflection, and a Bible verse to match the theme. This is a nice devotional for short meditations.
