Christmas Gift from the Timothy Center
This Christmas season The Timothy Center would like to give you a gift of an ebook. This is a limited time offer only for Kindle users. From December 24 to 28 you can download a free copy of The Peaceable Christian: Five Evangelicals Reflect on Peace from Amazon. If you do not have a Kindle you can still take advantage of this gift by downloading the Kindle app for your PC, Mac, iPad, iPhone, Blackberry or Andriod.
May your Christmas and New Year be filled with the peace of Christ.
 From the foreword by Dr. Craig Williford, president of Trinity International University:
"In The Peaceable Christian, you will read some new perspectives and arguments for understanding how Christians might approach the use of violence—how we might slow down our apparent quickness to use violence, and instead, while properly confronting evil and injustice, set peacemaking as the ultimate goal. This is a book that explores how politics may overly shape current Christian thinking on this subject. And in response the authors argue that biblical and theological thinking should be the starting point for understanding our political responses to peace and war, not vice versa."
Two New Books by The Timothy Center Press
We are excited to announce the publishing of two books by the Timothy Center Press. Both titles address important issues in today's world: The Peaceable Christian: Five Evangelicals Reflect on Peace and Social Injustice: What Evangelicals Need to Know About the World. When you purchase these books you can be assured that the proceeds go directly to helping advance the work of The Timothy Center. We hope you enjoy these titles.

How Social Enterprises Fulfill a NT Model of Business
 In the current economic environment, it is good for Christians to ask the questions "what is God doing?" and "is there an opportunity to engage in practical gospel proclamation in word and work?" This chapter will focus attention on the current climate by visiting a model of business that is based on the New Testament corpus. In particular, attention will be given to the relational expectation that Paul and Jesus place on Christians and especially on employers. We will see that those relationships are based on mutual respect and dignity stemming from the understanding that people are created in the image of God and that business is primarily a relational or interpersonal enterprise. Regardless of the particular economic system, whether market, mixed, planned or barter, the relational aspects of Christianity is paramount to any contemporary understanding of the manner in which Christians do business. Thus, a Christian business person must be more concerned about people than finances making social businesses a creative alternative to typical for-profit business models. Social businesses are ventures that address issues of both local and global concern by catalyzing opportunities that create sustainable change for improvement of the social conditions, quality of life and dignity of people created in the image of God.
