Getting the Church Inside You: Balancing Faith and Action offers a fresh, pastoral journey through Ephesians, blending biblical insight with real-life stories. Steven K. Parker invites readers to move beyond simply "going to church" and instead to let the gospel shape their identity...

God has graciously given the church gifted men to feed, guide, and protect His people-to equip the saints, build up the body of Christ, and lead her toward spiritual maturity. Through their faithful ministry, the church is anchored in truth and guarded against deception. Yet in many places, the high calling of the pastor has been diminished. Qualifications are watered down, biblical responsibilities are neglected, and the role is reshaped to suit personal ambitions. Some claim the title of evangelist while advancing sacramental traditions.

In Out of Rows and Into Circles, Joseph P. L. Simmons takes an unflinching look at the evolution of the modern church. With over 25 years of ministry experience, Simmons presents a passionate critique of the seeker-sensitive movement that has reshaped church culture. What began with the noble intention of reaching a broader audience has led to a quiet, yet profound shift—one where comfort often replaces conviction and polished performances overshadow the depth of the Gospel.

Arewa is a Christian author whose life and testimony have been shaped through intense spiritual warfare, discernment, and a deep, personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Her journey is marked by real encounters that challenged her understanding of faith, truth, and the unseen spiritual realm.

In an era of digital distractions and shifting cultural truths, it’s easy to feel spiritually isolated. Many voices compete for our attention, but God has not left His flock to wander alone. In None Walk Alone: The Power of Pastoral Presence, Gregory W. Church explores the profound, God-given gift of the pastor —an under-shepherd appointed to guide, protect, and nurture believers.

In Canceled, historian Steve Weidenkopf (The Real Story of Catholic History) digs into some of the most controversial Catholics ever to capture the popular imagination. He looks at notorious figures like Christopher Columbus and Marie Antoinette, so associated with their presumed evils that the modern world has completely written them off—canceled them from any favorable mention or memory. And worse, the world now uses them as brushes to tar the whole Church.

In Proverbs 7, we see a wise father instruct his son on the dangers of sexual sin. Standing in contrast to Scripture, today's church often views teaching on this sin as uncomfortable, embarrassing, and inappropriate. In fact, the church and many pastors refuse to address this sin from the pulpit, and in turn, harm the flock. However, God is not ashamed to warn how mankind is tempted and overcome by sexual sin. In this book, we will examine how the godly father serves as a model to wisely instruct his son on sexual sin and need for the gospel.

Every preacher wants to see God’s Word impact their congregation. We wrestle with meaning, check the original Greek, and consult commentaries to make sure we’re faithful, articulate, and gospel-driven . But what if, in our diligence, we’re neglecting application, leaving our listeners...

Never has there been a greater need for good men than in our world today. The Christian man lives every day of his life behind enemy lines. Our world is hostile territory: hostile to our values, hostile to our beliefs, and hostile to the principles we live by. The way forward involves setting our sights on recovering biblical manhood.

In a world filled with noise, students hear countless voices—entertaining them, distracting them, and shaping their beliefs in ways that pull them further from the truth. They are the most connected generation in history, yet they feel more alone than ever. Anxiety, self-harm, identity struggles, and hopelessness are becoming the norm. But there is one thing missing—a third voice. The third voice is the mentor, the guide, the spiritual leader who speaks life, truth, and biblical wisdom into the next generation.

His Grace in Grief is a heartfelt journal chronicled by the author over forty-five poignant days steeped in mourning, prayer, fasting, and deep meditation on the word of God. It captures Pastor Tony's earnest journey as he sought divine comfort during a profoundly personal year of grieving the loss of his beloved wife, Janet, with whom he shared forty-five beautiful years of marriage. While pouring his thoughts and emotions onto the pages, Pastor Tony wrestled with the overwhelming uncertainty of living without his beloved wife.

You’ve worked hard to achieve your dreams and goals. Many others have done the same—only to lose it all in the end. Every day, we read about successful people in various walks of life who have lost their power and influence. They’ve been fired, forced to resign, or shamed out of public life. They no longer have a market for their gifts, and they may even face criminal proceedings. These leaders have lost the trust of their companies, constituents, nations, followers, and families. Many were surprised to discover that their talents alone were not enough to prevent their downfall.

Serving as the “catalyst” of the Pentecostal movement in the twentieth century, William J. Seymour turned a tiny former horse stable in Los Angeles into an international center of revival. Baptism of the Holy Spirit, with the evidence of speaking in tongues, was a major part of the meetings held there, and Seymour led the first organized movement that promoted this experience. At Azusa, blacks, whites, Hispanics, and Europeans all met and worshiped together, crossing formerly impossible cultural lines.

The Quaker Coalition for Uprooting Racism (QCUR) strives to support Quaker communities in addressing patterns of racial wounding and in adopting practices that support patterns of racial justice. In this pamphlet, two members of the QCUR steering committee, Lauren Brownlee and Zenaida Peterson, explore Quaker patterns of conflict avoidance, “guardians of the status quo,” denying oppression exists within Quakerism, performativity, and inattention to right relationship with time. They offer guidance on how to recognize and shift these harmful patterns. Discussion questions are included.

A 1914 graduate of West Point, John Markoe was a gridiron hero who played against the likes of Jim Thorpe. He was a dashing, highly regarded cavalry officer-Dwight Eisenhower called him the best potential officer he'd ever seen-whose brief military career ended in shame and scandal. He was a Jesuit priest for fifty years and an alcoholic for fifty-seven.

The greatest opportunity for the gospel may be for the church to reach one of the largest unreached groups in the US and the world: teens with trauma and disability. While awareness of disability and mental health has grown in recent decades, the church has fallen behind the culture in engaging...
