Christians have some navigating to do. The culture we live in hates the message we cherish. We know the gospel we share is offensive, but sometimes we make it more offensive by our behavior. Is there a way to share an offensive message to an offended culture while not being gratuitously offensive? Blake Long challenges evangelicals: Let the gospel do the offending, not us. The gospel is offensive enough. Our attitude - our smugness - shouldn't make the gospel harder to believe. Long helps us find the problem and points us to the solution: Jesus Christ.

In the study of warfare, great men have concluded that there are some overriding principles which, if followed, will always tend toward success in battle, and if neglected or ignored, will tend toward defeat or even destruction. These principles have been entitled the "principles of war". But, not all warfare is waged on a battlefield: every Christian is called to be a soldier. Our fight is against Satan, our objective is the acknowledgment and fulfillment of God's commands, and our ammunition is the power of the Holy Spirit.

In 1974, Jim and Tammy Bakker launched their television show, The PTL Club, from a former furniture store in Charlotte, North Carolina, with half a dozen friends. By 1987, they stood at the center of a ministry empire that included their own satellite network, a 2300-acre theme park visited by six million people a year, and millions of adoring fans.

More than three billion people in the world have never heard the Gospel - not even once. But who cares? To many American Christians, these statistics about “unreached” people seem too unbelievable to take seriously. How could anyone in this day and age not have heard of Jesus? We assume that people don’t believe in Jesus because they don’t want to - that they’ve had the opportunity and have chosen a different path. We want you to know the people around the world who don’t know Jesus.

 A New Kind of Apologist, edited by Sean McDowell and with contributions from more than 20 leading apologists, is the go-to resource for effectively defending the Christian faith in our changing culture.  

The Deconstructionists Playbook is a compilation of authors speaking to a wide and diverse audience all cresting the same wave: Evangelicalism. Call us backsliders, Exvies, or spiritual misfits, but we've exited more traditional church spaces and rhetoric and are anxious to reconstruct our ideas on God, the Bible, and religion. With the chorus of some 60 authors, journey through an anthology of devotional days that celebrate this epic churning of faith. You will find yourself in a movement of acceptance, self love, and finding God in mysterious places. We invite you in.

The growth of the nones in American society has been dramatic. In 1972, just five percent of Americans claimed "no religion" on the General Social Survey. In 2018, that number rose to 23.7 percent, making the nones as numerous as both evangelical Protestants and Roman Catholics. Every indication is that the nones will be the largest religious group in the United States in the next decade. Burge's accessible book draws from carefully curated datasets, some tracking changes in American religion over a long period of time.

The Art of Marketing Jesus is an easy-to-understand spiritual growth process that has helped many believers internalize the life-giving promises of the new covenant and produce an abundance of love, joy, and peace in their lives - which is precisely the attitudes and characteristics required to attract people to Jesus. If you want to live free and attract more people to Jesus, perhaps it’s time to become a new wineskin. It’s time to say goodbye to old thoughts that keep you in bondage and place your light on the lampstand of spiritual freedom.

Many people assume that the story of the baby in the manger at Bethlehem is just another made-up fantasy for kids. In this concise book, respected apologist Rebecca McLaughlin outlines the evidence that Jesus was a real person, explaining the reliability of the Bible’s accounts of his life and why believing in a virgin birth is not as ridiculous as it might sound. This book shows that there is a rational basis for the belief that the world’s most famous story is a fact, not fantasy - and how those events in history can infuse our lives today with meaning and joy.

There is no greater source of joy in the life of Christians than knowing that we have been reconciled to God through faith in his Son, our Substitute and Surety, the Lord Jesus Christ. To know that our sins are forgiven and the merits of Jesus are now ours through imputation - solely as a gift of God’s grace - produces such soul-satisfying kinship with our Creator that all fears of standing before his holy tribunal evaporate like a morning mist before the sun.

Dr. Philip Eyster has been in Christian ministry since 1976. He made his first international trip in 1981, and since then, has ministered in over 40 countries around the world. In addition to bringing humanitarian aid and disaster relief to many places around the globe, he has brought the gospel to jungle villages, desert tribes, schools, factories, hospitals, AIDS clinics, leper colonies, open-air markets, and countless transportation hubs.

Conundrums are the hurdles in our race to complete the great commission. They can make you run slower or trip you, so the race is never finished. Thus, the ideal solution is to remove the hurdles altogether. A conundrum is a “confusing and difficult problem or question”, which is often a roadblock to progress until and unless it is confronted and resolved. In this audiobook, I hope to address four primary categories, which in my opinion, have done damage to our efforts of fulfilling the Lord’s direct mandate.

The great challenge of spiritual leadership is not simply in knowing the right words to say or knowing the right things to do; it is in being the right person. When Moses chose those who would assist, there were qualifications. When the early church chose it's workers, there were qualifications. When Paul spoke of bishops, elders, and deacons, there were qualifications.

In this handbook, I will show you how God embeds faith pictures in his word for you to envision in your heart and consequently see them manifest in your life in his perfect timing. Additionally, you will discover practical ways to receive these visions from him, as he supplies you with the grace to be supernaturally led by his spirit and the ability to walk in his supernatural anointing.

This book is about just some of the true-to-life and factual experiences that I have had since 1974 in regards to visions, stories of hope, and most of all, about God’s precious gift of eternal life that we can all have through his one and only son, Jesus Christ, our Lord. It is my hope that after listening to this audiobook, you will come to understand that hell is not some fictional or made-up place, but is rather very much real.

Pastor Mary I. Ehichioya knows from experience the forces of darkness and how terrible it is to be outside Christ. She therefore feels with acute vividness the real situation of the lost. She has also come to know the depth of the saving grace of Christ Jesus and understands that it is the only solution to the problem of mankind. She merely seeks to remind all of us that many who are where she used to be, outside Christ, may end up in hell and ultimately in the Lake of Fire if we are not doing our part.

Over the last decade, Don Everts and Doug Schaupp have listened to the stories of 2,000 postmodern people who have come to follow Jesus. While their stories are diverse and varied, certain common themes emerge. Postmodern evangelism is a mysterious and organic process that nevertheless goes through discernible phases, as people cross thresholds from distrust to trust, from complacency to curiosity, and from meandering to seeking. Everts and Schaupp describe the factors that influence how people shift in their perspectives and become open to the gospel.

In this follow-up book, Conversations on When Everything Is Missions, more than 15 contributors add their voices. Each brings research, analysis and experience to the table.

Suddenly, Brian Causey found himself stumbling over life’s greatest questions: Why are we here? How did the universe and life begin? Why is there suffering in the world? What happens after we die? If there is an afterlife, how do I get there? Brian ultimately concluded that the evidence points in the direction of God’s existence. In Trading Gods, he shares his personal journey, rationale for faith, and the supporting research that explains why the real God is the best answer to life’s biggest questions.

Our missionary brothers, sisters, sons, daughters, husbands, and wives would travel thousands of miles to share the gospel to people in faraway lands. They are willing to sacrifice all to share the love of God with these people. Times are changing. Now, God is bringing people from foreign lands right to our shores. Is this a new mission? What is his reason? Unfortunately, the present political climate and rhetoric are making it extremely difficult, if not impossible, for us to have a level-headed discussion when it comes to this topic of migration.
