David Wells

Foreword by David Wells. Most of us value humility . . . especially in other people. But Jesus taught that humility is central to the Christian life. Author Christopher Hutchinson invites the church to follow Christ--both individually and corporately--in this high calling. A systematic and comprehensive treatment of this core tenant of Christianity, Rediscovering Humility is structured around the three times Jesus addresses the topic in Scripture--how it is found, embraced and applied. This insightful resource should be required reading for all seminary students so they can understand the pitfalls of leadership before they begin to pastor. Current pastors and church leaders will find Hutchinson's critiques and suggestions helpful as they seek to create humble and healthy churches. Individuals who have lost an appreciation for humility as a central Christian virtue will be reminded of its value as the best way to grow closer to and more like Jesus. Humble Christians create healthy churches, but in today's world of celebrity pastors and widening platforms, our churches are more than ever imitating the prideful methodologies of our culture. Through his critiques, Hutchinson also offers suggestions for how Christians can better practice and promote humility in our time. Offering a fresh and updated application of humility to our day, Hutchinson calls for a return to the path of humility as the one pilgrimage most necessary for Christian faith and life. By showing humility in in all its truth, beauty and goodness, it becomes a value worth seeking--if never fully found--on this side of heaven.

50 YEARS OF CARING FOR SEAFARERS IN PORT HOUSTON celebrates the five-decade history of the Houston International Seafarers' Center: how it was founded, how it has served seafarers and led the field of seafarers; welfare over the years, and the generous and enterprising people who made it all possible. This history shows the value of partnerships; especially partnerships between the business world, the Port Authority, and local religious communities. Without these partnerships the Houston project would have stalled or failed at several key junctures. The value of the Houston Port Authority's willingness to partner with others throughout the history of seafarers' welfare in Houston cannot be overstated. At its heart, the story of seafarers' service in Houston is about relationships; about connecting people. Because hundreds of staff and thousands of volunteers were willing to invest their time in the lives of others, over the last 50 years more than two million seafarers have been welcomed in the Seafarers' Center and millions more have been cared for by chaplains and ship visitors throughout the Port. "I was a stranger and you welcomed me."

"The topics and the writing are engaging, with a lighthearted edge that allows the book to be inviting and not intimidating. Overall the quality of writing is excellent. A fine general audience mathematics book, but one that I think is particularly well-suited to younger, curious readers who have a basic knowledge of geometry and a beginning understanding of algebra." -- Mathematical Association of America Everything in mathematics has many meanings -- every diagram and every figure, every sum and every equation can be "seen" in different ways, just as every sentence in English or in algebra can be variously read and interpreted. This book explores mathematical topics by pointing out remarkable similarities and taking a fresh look at familiar items. Loaded with thought-provoking facts and surprises, it explores the relationships between mathematics and humor, shows how mathematicians use metaphors to name the nameless and to point to hidden connections, and presents a series of challenging puzzles that offer thought-provoking fun. You don't have to be a mathematician to appreciate this playful approach to numbers, patterns, graphs, and pictures. Author David Wells focuses on insight and imagination rather than technique, emphasizing the mystery, intrigue, and other pleasurable aspects of mathematics. Hints for the captivating problems and puzzles appear at the end of the book, in addition to complete solutions.
