The biblical charges to "love your neighbor as yourself" and to "do to others as you would have them do to you" are at the heart of Abrahamic faith. DeCort argues that they are also at the heart of some of the most groundbreaking developments in human rights and the common good. Jesus taught neighbor-love and promised, "Do this and you will flourish." But Christians today are at high risk of ignoring or overthrowing the most daring teaching of Jesus' movement.

Living Beyond Offense explores Jesus's teachings about forgiveness—what it is, what it costs, and what you gain when you put it into practice.

Forgiveness is hard work, but you can learn to trust again! Despite the pain you've experienced, you will find ideas and encouragement for rooting yourself in God's trustworthiness and living in shalom once more.

One of the best ways to bring clarity to a written text when the meaning is not crystal clear is through the use of a picture illustration. The response, "Oh, now I understand," is often the result of a good picture illustration. It is normal to have questions or to have a certain amount of confusion when reading passages from the Bible. What many people are not aware of is that God has provided us with hundreds of these picture illustrations to help clarify what He is saying to us in His Word.

What does it mean to be Protestant? How can its strengths shape faith in the modern world, and how should its challenges be addressed? With clarity, warmth, and theological depth, Beth Felker Jones explores these questions in Why I Am Protestant.

The Holy Spirit is Bill Johnson’s foundational book on the Spirit, including both introductory and deep truths about the third person of the Trinity. He describes what he has learned about seeking God, hosting His presence, and seeing His Spirit change the atmosphere of families and communities—bringing peace where there was anxiety and discord, salvation where hope was gone, and restoration where purpose was lost.

Nephi's small plates are a time capsule from the sixth century B.C., containing a "loser's eye view" of religion that strongly contrasts with the ideology of the Jerusalem establishment of the time. Lehi's dream and Nephi's interpretive vision are visionary-literary accounts of the two temple ordinances at the heart of the worship of Lehi's "visionary men" -- the Peace Offerings and the Day of Atonement. Learning to understand those visions opens up the rest of the Book of Mormon, and ancient scripture in general.

We travel back into a long-ago history lesson. How has it changed? Has history repeated itself over time? For better or for worse? What is being done to ensure that Christian education will continue ten, fifty, or one hundred years from now?

Many people imagine Heaven as a tedious, disembodied existence of endless worship. Jaród Murphey's Heaven and New Jerusalem: A Biblically-Accurate Survey of the City of God and Life in the Kingdom argues this is one of Satan's most cunning deceptions, designed to rob Christians of joy and deter unbelievers from seeking God. Instead, drawing extensively from God's Word, this book reveals that our primary purpose in Heaven will be to rule and reign with Christ as kings and queens in His global government, forever and ever.

Is there hope in hell? Was Dante wrong when he warned us to “abandon all hope” upon entering? Can the Bible, tradition, and reason lead us toward a hopeful eschatology—one that dares to believe that hell is not the final word? This book shows how these pillars of Christian theology can build a strong case for what the author once considered an impossible dream.

This book is written in two parts. Part one follows a personal journey into understanding God's desire for His church to become one, for the sake of their city, to the glory of God. It gives practical guidance on unity journeys - what they look like, how to move forward, and what are some of the learnings from the past to be used to inform this future. 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.

Seven Words You Never Want to Hear explores the mystery of salvation through the Scriptures and personal stories. Take the challenge that the apostle Paul gave to the church at Corinth—examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith. The gospel changes everything—beliefs, lifestyles, and priorities. Has it changed you?

You're not sure what you think about God. You're not an atheist–you're not that confident of his non-existence. You're not a Christian or a Muslim, though you've got nothing against either of them. You prefer to identify as a humble agnostic. Some would say you're sitting on the fence, but why not? It's a comfortable enough place to be. Why can't we all just admit we don't know?

After Jesus and Mary, the saints are the most powerful intercessors given to us by God. When they are invoked during an exorcism, evil spirits flee. Some of these “seasoned warriors” were exorcists themselves, and some were viciously attacked by demons at various points in their lives. In these potent book, you will marvel at true stories of saints who, by God’s grace, received many supernatural gifts, including the ability to cast out demons.

Those who walk with Jesus know he promised to one day return to this earth and establish his rule and reign over all things. He even instructed us to look for certain "signs" that would indicate his return was imminent. In fact, the Bible contains more than 2,400 references foretelling this great event! While Jesus said, "about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father" (Matthew 24:26), he was clear that his followers should be watching and waiting for his second coming. How is this done? By continually abiding in the presence of God.

In The Gospel and My Black Skin, Dr. JP Foster boldly tackles the complex, often unspoken questions many Black people are asking today. As white nationalism gains momentum, revisionist history distorts the past, and churches remain complicit—or silent—on matters of justice, a growing number of Black believers are questioning the faith they've inherited while others are walking away. Dr. Foster offers a timely and prophetic response.

12 lectures. 12 wisdoms. 12 revelations. Welcome to the great unveiling of the Mystery of Christ, courtesy of one of the 20th century's greatest New Thought teachers, Neville Goddard.

Neville is well known as one of the most influential teachers of the Law of Assumption (where one assumes the thing desired in order to bring it about in reality), a predecessor to the Law of Attraction.

Russian artist Ivan Kramskoy painted a depiction of Jesus that was so shockingly human, it led him to tell a friend afterward, “I have perhaps committed sacrilege, but I couldn't help but paint him.” Just as Kramskoy’s painting invited his viewers to gaze at the shocking humility of Christ, the Gospel leads us to rethink what it means to truly look like Christ and glorify Him. Drawing from Philippians 2, the reflections invite listeners to gaze at the total humiliation of Christ and seek to be made like him by the Holy Spirit, sinking into a deeper union with Christ, until he is all in all.
