"I thought the nation was coming to an end", wrote Khushwant Singh, looking back on the violence of Partition that he was witness to over half a century ago. He believed then that he had seen the worst that India could do to herself. But after the violence in Gujarat in 2002, he felt that the worst, perhaps, is still to come. Analysing the anti-Sikh riots of 1984, the burning of Graham Staines and his children, the targeted killings by terrorists in Punjab and Kashmir, Singh confronts the absolute corruption of religion that has made us among the most brutal people on earth.

Drawing on his years of reporting, Jenkins examines the reemergence of progressive faith-based activism, detailing its origins and contrasting its goals with those of the religious right. Today’s rapidly expanding interfaith coalition - which includes Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, and other faiths - has become a force within the larger “resistance” movement. Jenkins profiles Washington political insiders as well as a new generation of progressive faith leaders at the forefront today.

A Republican agnostic president converts to Christianity in mid-term. He starts reading the Bible to learn from it instead of reading to discredit it. His policies gyrate dramatically. Indeed, much of the time he ends up sounding more like a Democrat. He has the best of intentions, but events quickly spiral out of control: election tumult, social controversy, debt, financial malfeasance, foreign wars, international terrorism, civil war among Mexican drug cartels, and plots of assassination. Israel, Iran, Mexico, and other nations are sucked into the intrigue and mounting catastrophe.

If Paul Wrote to Today’s Church looks at worldly flaws that have infiltrated the church of today and imagines what someone like Paul would say if given the opportunity. I have become unhappy with the politics of American society. I have become even more unhappy with the words and actions that I see from those who claim to be Christians.

A democratic republic depends upon two unassailable truths: Freedom can only exist (1) where the laws of God are considered absolute and (2) where the majority believe that God, not man and not government, created men and women equal. This book is founded on the principle that only truth can make us free and that the Holy Bible is the foundation of our freedom. This book explores law - the laws of God and the laws of man, and defines freewill, agency, freedom, and liberty - and presents what is necessary to maintain our liberty.

In Just Faith, progressive Christian activist and writer Guthrie Graves-Fitzsimmons explains how a strong religious left has accompanied every major progressive advance in our society, and he resurrects the long but forgotten history of progressive Christianity in the United States that can and must link arms with progressive Muslims and Jews to make the moral case for pluralism, human dignity, and the common good. Graves-Fitzsimmons provides a blueprint for this type of resurrection based on his advocacy work at the intersection of religion and American politics.

Throughout her nearly 40 years in ministry, Heidi Neumark has strived to make the communities she was part of sanctuaries amid the turmoils of life. Now, with the social and political upheaval of the years since Donald Trump was elected president, Neumark believes the true Christian calling is to live out a counterpoint to today’s prevailing spirits of exclusion and hatred. Using her own bilingual, multicultural congregation as a model, she moves through the seasons of the church calendar to reflect on what it looks like to live out essential Christian convictions.

The City of God is the usual English translation of the most influential work written in the fifth century. Augustine, bishop of Hippo, wrote it between 413 and 426. Augustine argued that Christianity was not the cause of the empire’s collapse. He turned the gaze from the city of Rome to the City of God, in the spiritual life of true believers.

Two decades after the publication of The Black Book of Communism, nearly everyone is or at least should be aware of the immense evil produced by that devilish ideology first hatched when Karl Marx penned his Communist Manifesto two centuries ago. Far too many people, however, separate Marx the man from the evils wrought by the oppressive ideology and theory that bears his name.

If you are having a difficult time financially, there is hope yet for you. Many people don't understand that they are in fact creating this reality. It sways between the wants and needs to the things we all loathe and despise. There should be a clear indication that people who are inherently evil will continue to live evil lives (hence where all the demons and foul spirits the Bible mentioned in detail are residing).

Sound interesting? The author thinks so too! Listen to Exposing and Thwarting the Attack on the Bible and learn about the top 10 liberal church lies, "false Christs shall arise", the fight against leftist teachers, answering scoffers and skeptics, and the theft of America’s Christian heritage.

Hosea, one of the most provocative prophets of the Old Testament, was called by God to declare God's impending judgment on the Northern Kingdom: They had been experiencing an unparalleled prosperity in their time, and yet they had sunk to the lowest moral depths of their two century history. It was the best of times and it was the worst of times. As a result, God was about to use their enemies as his instrument of judgment. America, too, is in a disturbingly comparable situation: Unparalleled prosperity on the one hand, and yet immorality unprecedented in our two century history.

Chuck Missler reviews the "state of the union" and the results of the liberal agenda. We take our lead from Jeremiah and Hosea: We can see the storm coming - we may not be able to divert or stop it, but we can warn others. Our prayer throughout this crisis is that the lessons won't be wasted. It's time to get serious! Only a miracle can save America, but fortunately, God is in the miracle business!

Drawing Lines Building Bridges seeks to bring clarity to the confusion Christians have today concerning what to do about homosexuality in the church and how to respond to homosexuals in their lives. While drawing lines between the values held by society and the traditional morality preserved by the church, Drawing Lines Building Bridges advocates strategies of bridge-building engagement between Christians and the LGBT community - strategies which model the example of Jesus and Paul in the Bible and reflect the concerns of the LGBT community.

"Cet ouvrage de quelques heures pour livrer une histoire - presque complète - de l'islam politique. Cette idéologie qui est née et qui a évolué dans l'ombre de la Grande Histoire de la civilisation musulmane s'est nourrie, à chaque époque, de contextes particuliers et de luttes intestines. Appelée communément islamisme cette pensée - qui instrumentalise des lectures littéralistes du corpus islamique - est méconnue."

The Bible and the Ballot demonstrates the proper use of scripture in contemporary political discussions. Christians regularly invoke the Bible to support their positions on many controversial political topics - gay marriage, poverty, war, religious liberty, immigration, the environment, etc. - and this book will help facilitate those conversations. Tremper Longman provides a hermeneutical approach to using the Bible in this manner, then proceeds topic by topic, citing important scriptures to be taken into consideration in each case and offering an evangelical interpretation.

Christian identity is in moral and political crisis. Lee Camp writes “that one major reason Christianity in America has been made into a bad public joke is our failure to rightly understand what Christianity is.” Scandalous Witness provides a way forward. Although refusing to reduce Christianity to any partisan agenda, he reminds us that the gospel is inherently political and that we are called to be political witnesses.

Those who want to avoid simplistic partisan rhetoric and use words in a challenging, spirited way need practical strategies. This audiobook offers a range of them. Drawing upon the work of exemplary contemporary writers, Speaking Peace in a Climate of Conflict shows how to speak and write clearly and generously.

Somehow, this long-discredited economic philosophy is making a comeback, not only on college campuses and political talk shows, but among sincere Catholics. Some think that it could be the answer to greed and globalism. Others even argue that it’s the best way to obey Christ’s command to help the poor. Let’s give socialism a fresh chance, they say. A democratic socialism, this time, friendly to religion and ordered to the common good like the church says the economy should be.
