Tucker Zondervan, 1990 Such a Great Cloud of Witnesses Wow, I didn't realize that we Christians have such a rich heritage! This is a collection of 365 anecdotes about amazing people - not much different than you and me, but they decided to act on thier faith, sometimes willingly and sometimes not. Each case demonstrates that God works in mysterious, unusual, or ordinary ways through people from all different walks of life for the furtherance of his ...             Another Gospel: Cults, Alternative Religions, and the New Age Movement6 reviews Ruth A. Tucker Zondervan, 2004 An Excellent Resource For Believers As a former member of the LDS church I find this an excellent resource to point out the false doctrines of the Mormons and other false churches. The treatments are excellent and factual...that some members of their organizations dispute the historical facts and doctrinal statements of their founders only shows that they have not made honest efforts to understand what their leaders have ...             Women in the Maze: Questions & Answers on Biblical Equality3 reviews Ruth A. Tucker InterVarsity Press, 1992 This woman is awesome! And so is the word of God, which she painstakingly explores. Ruth Tucker is a woman who has fearlessly and thoroughly studied the Word of God and what it has to say about women. The result is this book, which wonderfully and wittily answers so many questions that women are afraid to ask about our places in God's plan. The chapters themselves are phrased as the questions that are so often ...             Left Behind in a Megachurch World: How God Works through Ordinary Churches2 reviews Ruth A. Tucker Baker Books, 2006 Left Behind in a Megachurch World: How God Works through Ordinary Churches I enjoyed most of this book. I have been in both large churches and small churches and even in the large churches they are in essence small, because most of the members in a large church, just "go" and do not become involved with the Christian community. I have heard from folks who have come from large churches and some have said they are so impersonal and they are just a number. Some members are ...             God Talk: Cautions for Those Who Hear God's Voice3 reviews Ruth A. Tucker InterVarsity Press, 2006 Is God's silence necessarily a bad thing? "Much has been written on the silence of God, but most often with a sigh of resignation - as though the silence is something that we endure." In reading Tucker's book, I was struck by her assertion that God's silence is not a passive-aggressive "silent treatment", but an attribute of God that we can appreciate and cultivate. At a time when people around me all seem to be getting words from God - ...             Daughters of the Church Ruth A. Tucker, Walter L. Liefeld Zondervan, 1987 Daughters of the church is a fascinating account of women in the two-thousand-year span of church history that includes an exegetical study of relevant Scripture passages.             Walking Away from Faith: Unraveling the Mystery of Belief and Unbelief9 reviews Ruth A. Tucker InterVarsity Press, 2002 Doubt your doubts, but in the meantime read this! Ruth Tucker was teaching an adult Sunday School class on this topic of doubt shortly after writing this book. She was well received, but after the class one older man came to her and asked, "I really appreciated all that you taught. But one thing you never addressed: how did you finally overcome all your doubts?" Tuckers was floored. He missed her whole point: she has never completely ...             From Jerusalem to Irian Jaya: A Biographical History of Christian Missions14 reviews Ruth A. Tucker Zondervan, 2004 Informative, Entertaining and Eloquent The book is well organized and easy to use. The content is well researched and concise without feeling rushed and choppy. In stark contrast to most surveys of missiological history, the author actually keeps her audience's attention from front to back. Also a contrast to many missions biographies, Tucker finds the balance between a book that reads like fiction and one that reads like an ...             Leadership Reconsidered: Becoming a Person of Influence Ruth A. Tucker Baker Books, 2008 While books and articles on leadership abound, most of them are written by "successful" men who look at the world through the lens of a Western business model. The standard for success is based on the bottom line--financial growth in both the personal and corporate realms. This perspective has infected Christian leadership literature as well. In Leadership Reconsidered, Ruth A. Tucker calls for a revised definition--one that abandons the love of ...             A Library of Literary Criticism, Modern British Literature Q to Z (VOLUME III) RUTH Z TEMPLE AND MARTIN TUCKER FREDERICK UNGAR PUBLISHING CO, 1967 A LONG NEEDED KEY TO TWENTIETH-CENTURY BRITISH WRITING OVER 400 AUTHORS             Not Ashamed: The Story of Jews for Jesus17 reviews Ruth Tucker Multnomah Books, 2000 A work of integrity and clarity Ruth Tucker, who takes a back seat to no one in terms of academic and personal integrity, has done a masterful job in conveying a challenging story. The "warts" and all-too-human aspects of the Jews for Jesus organization are well examined; the claims of "cultic" behavior and some of the disaffected former staffers are dissected and, frankly, debunked. What many of this book's critics won't tell ...             Seasons of Motherhood: A Garden of Memories Ruth A. Tucker Victor Books, 1996 Enter an enchanting garden of motherhood memories spanning the generations--from Eve, the mother of all living, to Monica, the mother of Augustine, to Fanny, the mother of Nelson Mandela, to Ruth Graham, the mother of Gigi.             The Law of Disability Discrimination1 review Ruth Colker, Bonnie P. Tucker Anderson Publishing Company (OH), 1998 A great compilation of law cases and how the ADA applies. This book was required for my law class on disabilities at the University of Pittsburgh. I took this class even though I have an MS in Neuroscience and I am finishing my doctorate in Science Education. I not only got the book for class, but I plan on keeping it and its casebook for future reference. Bonnie Tucker knows of what she speaks, since like me she is/was deaf. Like her I know how hard ...             Private Lives of Pastors' Wives Ruth A. Tucker Ministry Resources Library, 1993 Pastors' wives have often been viewed as "women behind the scenes," unnoticed and unappreciated. But the stories of these 14 women--from Katie Luther to Jill Briscoe--show that pastors' wives through the ages have played an essential role in the ministry of the church.
