The Old Testament is a most valuable book of scripture. It teaches the mercy and willingness of Jehovah, the premortal Jesus Christ, to forgive. It teaches and illustrates time and again what kinds of thinking and actions we need to avoid if we desire to remain firmly on the covenant path. And it teaches how to repent and return to Christ, whose arms of mercy are extended all the day long (Isaiah 65:2), inviting us to repent. In this third edition, noted teacher and gospel scholar David J. Ridges brings the Old Testament to life with his well-known teaching skills.

This Boy and His Mother: Healing from Trauma as a Gay Latter-day Saint chronicles Preston Jenkins' journey back to faith and activity in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Speaking with authenticity, Preston offers gospel insights gleaned from his experiences involving same-sex attraction, sexual and emotional abuse, an early return from an LDS mission, mental illness, and the eventual completion of a mission. Hope, faith, and never-failing charity are strikingly displayed. So, too, is the sufficient grace of Jesus Christ to holistically heal all wounds.

This book is an effort to lift up the Restoration's distinctive principles that invite us to renounce violence and proclaim Christ's good news of love and peace to a world that desperately needs it.

In our culture, the powers of darkness have been working overtime to turn a generation away from God, discipling society in wickedness, destroying families, ravaging finances, afflicting bodies, and obstructing the advance of God's people.

In response to a radically unexpected prophetic word, Jon and Jolene Hamill have launched a turnaround movement to see supernatural breakthroughs take place.

This beloved classic from A.W. Pink is for Christians who are in need of the comfort that comes from knowing that God desires them to rejoice always. A. W. Pink reminds us “how heartily desirous God himself is that his people should be of good cheer" (Phil. 4:4). God has a "people", the objects of his special favor: a company whom he has taken into such intimate relationship unto himself that he calls them "my people". Often they are disconsolate.

In The Whole Counsel of God, popular writer and podcaster Fr. Stephen de Young gives an overview of what the Bible is and what is its place in the life of an Orthodox Christian, correcting many Protestant misconceptions along the way. Issues covered include inspiration, inerrancy, the formation of the biblical canon, the various texts and their provenance, the place of Scripture within Orthodox Tradition, and how an Orthodox Christian should read, study, and interpret the Bible.

El Espíritu Santo, el Espíritu de Avivamiento, está dentro de ti. ¡Esto es caminar en tu identidad de avivamiento!

Dr. Abigail Favale provides an in-depth yet accessible account of the gender paradigm: a framework for understanding reality and identity that has recently risen to prominence. With substance, clarity, and compassion, Favale teases out the hidden assumptions of the gender paradigm and exposes its effects. Yet this book is not merely an exposé—it is also a powerful, moving articulation of a Christian understanding of reality: a holistic paradigm that proclaims the dignity of the body, the sacramental meaning of sexual difference, and the interconnectedness of all creation.

In Fooling with the Amish, Dirk Eitzen examines the fakery in Amish Mafia and how actual viewers of the show responded to it to discover answers to two questions that have long puzzled media scholars: What is it about the so-called reality of reality shows that appeals to and gratifies viewers? How and why are people taken in by falsehoods in the media? Eitzen's ultimate answer to these questions is that, in taking liberties with facts, Amish Mafia works very much like gossip.

Throughout history, the signet ring has been a symbol of authority, sealing covenants and sanctioning decrees. And today the most powerful, authoritative signet ring is still operating in the world: you.

Through eye-opening biblical insights, spiritual leaders Chuck Pierce and Alemu Beeftu help you fully grasp and step into this life-changing Kingdom role.

One crisp fall morning, a beautiful snow-capped Mt. Fuji stands out against the clear blue sky. As you drive closer, the shape and color become even more distinguishable and awe-inspiring. Then suddenly, something takes your enjoyment away. A line of trees completely blocks your view of the mountain. You try to look around, over, and through the trees, but you cannot see the mountain, even though you know it is still there. What if the beautiful mountain you are trying to enjoy is the God of grace? What are the “trees” in your life that block your view of this amazing God?

Many Christians say they are traveling into the heavens, but others are not convinced that "spiritual travel" is used by God. The reason could be that no one has provided convincing evidence showing how it is different from astral projection. Far from being restricted to the occult, spiritual travel is actually a tool that is intended to be used by God to accomplish His divine purposes. With his down-to-earth style, Praying Medic provides Bible-based teaching, dozens of testimonies, and simple illustrations that will help even the least experienced person understand spiritual travel.

In this pop Christian culture, many believers have never been exposed to the great truths upon which the Church of Jesus Christ has been built. One of those forgotten truths is the purpose and power of the blood of Jesus. We sing about it in our hymns, that there is power in the blood, but few of us have experienced the reality of those words. Chavda carefully lays the foundation as he presents a refreshing look at the importance of the blood of Jesus in the life of the believer. The Hidden Power of the Blood of Jesus is theologically sound, but passionately written.

Perhaps one of the great hindrances to the next great awakening is that many believers are consumed by the spiritual-sounding concept of "waiting on God to move". This waiting entails fervent prayer, organized events, and much discussion. While prayer is desperately needed and events may be catalysts for God's work, could it be that we are waiting for something that God has already released? Wherever a Spirit-filled believer goes, a move of God should break out. Why? Because the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of revival, is within you. This is walking in your revival identity!

For more than half a century, the question of extraterrestrial intelligence (ETI) has been widely dismissed in our culture. That wasn’t always the case. Some of the best minds of the last 25 centuries in Western civilization have grappled with this mystery. In Extraterrestrial Intelligence and the Catholic Faith, best-selling author Paul Thigpen begins with a fascinating historical survey of the public conversation about ETI, tracing the thought of prominent Catholics and others. This is a thorough guide to navigating the conversation from a faithful Catholic perspective.

How do we acquire this mind of Christ and where is it to be found? For the Orthodox Christian, salvation is the acquisition of this mind of Christ which is to be found in the Church. This acquisition moves us from the image of God to the likeness of God; through our obedience to this call we begin to know God and this knowledge is eternal life (John 17:3). This small book hopes to begin to answer how acquiring the mind of Christ is possible and why it is necessary in our lives today.

Do you feel like a nobody? It’s all too easy to get caught up in the world’s race for success, even if you know that Jesus is your source of hope and significance. Perhaps you’ve even seen people using Christianity to achieve worldly success. How did we as Christians get to this point? Pastor Matthew Doebler addresses humanity’s constant pursuit of lasting recognition both inside and outside of the church.
