ATS STUDENT AUTHORS NEW BOOK

Mark Tanner is in the final year of his D.Min. at Asbury. He is also a bishop in the Church of England. This year, he authored a book – Faithful? Foolish? Called: Recognising God’s call and what to do about it – described below:

230908 - Soc Med 1-1.jpegIn a world obsessed with image, income, reputation, and opportunity it can be hard to hear the quiet whisper of Christ calling us onward, upward, and outward…
… and yet Christ is one who calls.
He calls unlikely people to extraordinary things, and as we give ourselves to the impossible in the midst of the ordinary we discover that his grace really is sufficient.
Foolish, maybe, but always sufficient and utterly faithful.
This book explores what calling feels like in the real world. The ancient story of King Ahab and a series of prophets invites us to explore the deepest callings in our life. Who are you called to be, and what does this mean you need to do?

ATS ALUM REPUBLISHES AN OLD CLASSIC
Warner Davis (M.Div. ’71) published his spiritual memoir Peace in a Mad Dog World in 2010. It has recently been republished. Dr. Davis describes it as follows:
“The book, recounting my experiences as the son of missionaries serving in what’s now The Democratic Republic of the Congo, tells of my encounters with dark forces beyond my control. It narrates the long, winding path that brought me to a level of faith to see that courage is a realistic option no matter how helpless we may feel. Evident in my story is my parents’ heroic dedication, my father a graduate of the seminary, both my parents graduates of Asbury College. Notable, too, is the healing role Dr. Stanger played in my mother’s battle with cancer.”
