Listen to commentators and a pattern quickly emerges: the more liberal the speaker, the more likely they are to attack Israel. Worse, many liberals say things about Israel that are patently false. After the October 7 Hamas attack, Barack Obama said that Israel had “unclean hands” because of the “unbearable occupation”. The trouble was, there was no occupation. Israel had withdrawn from Gaza almost twenty years before.

This key introduction to the doctrines of Christian faith is based on C.H. Spurgeon's Puritan Catechism. Spurgeon sought to conform the Baptist Catechism to the classic Westminster Shorter Catechism.

Many scientists and doctors believe that there is no such thing as the soul. That there is no part of us that persists beyond death. We are not spiritual in any respect. We are made up of cells and tissue, and completely controlled by a material organ in our heads: the brain. In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Michael Egnor makes the case—based on 40 years of practice and over 7,000 brain surgeries—that science has gotten it all wrong.

It invites the reader to personally seek God's direction and then invites them to pay the price of engagement. Part two looks at the elephant in the room - a practical theology of unity.

On the last hot day of summer in 1992, gunfire cracked over a rocky knob in northern Idaho, just south of the Canadian border. By the next day three people were dead, and a small war was joined, pitting the full might of federal law enforcement against one well-armed family.

What do ancient India, Tibetan monks, desert mystics, and modern psych wards all have in common? A pattern. One that most people were never taught to see.

From Vedanta to Buddhism, Taoism to Gnosticism, shamanism to modern psychiatry, this book traces the global thread of a single idea: That the self is an illusion — and seeing through it is not madness… it’s awakening.

The title itself represents the mysteries of the origins of the Jewish People, their endurance, and their unique place in the history of humankind. The book opens with a reflection on the nature of humans, and how story telling is both intrinsic to and essential for our species; and what follows is how the Jews formed as a people, were first identified archeologically as such in the monuments of Egyptian pharaohs, and how they cohered tightly by telling their story from generation to generation.
