Through a close exegetical reading of Paul's letters, this volume shows how Paul prioritized moral formation and community-building in his pastoral ministry and placed the practice of communal discernment in churches at the heart of life in the Spirit. Applying these fundamental insights for today's churches, Lewis reclaims Paul's primary pastoral emphasis on moral discernment and community-building, showing how this practice can be used in a variety of local church communities.

With theological rigor and a pastor’s heart, Preston Sprinkle opens the Bible with fresh eyes and invites us along as he examines key passages from Genesis to Revelation—weighing historical context, interacting with a variety of scholarly perspectives, and holding familiar views up to Scripture.

In his most powerful book yet, Pastor Francis Chan digs deep into biblical truths, reflections on his own failures and dreams, and stories of ordinary people God is using to change the world.

Jesus said his followers would be known for their love, not their loneliness. Yet over half of Americans―and American churchgoers―say that they lack companionship or that no one knows them well. We live increasingly disconnected lives, and our mental and spiritual health suffer as a result. In The Way Back to One Another, Jeff Galley and Phil Smith provide a remedy based on studying Scripture, learning from the global church, and observing best practices in thousands of small groups.

Why are there over 45,000 Christian denominations in the world rooted in only one Bible, one Savior, and one Holy Spirit who inspired the New Testament describing the Ecclesia (Church)? Jesus said there is only one nullifying (destroying) thing to the Word of God—tradition! So much of what happens in churches today is repetition of vain rituals, only making people feel religious and not fulfilling the Great Commission of either converting the lost or discipling the saints. Churches are dying, the youth view them as irrelevant, and are leaving for lack of life-changing power or excitement.

When our faith is challenged, the best response isn’t to fall back. It’s to go deeper. We’re living in a cultural storm. Perhaps you feel it. Postmodern philosophy and secular ideologies have trickled from academia to the broader culture, eroding belief in basic Christian doctrines. Christian teachings on family and sexuality, once respected by the wider culture, are now considered suspect or even dangerous. Increasingly, the Western world finds the church unnecessary, offensive, and irrelevant. Many Christians feel disoriented and discouraged.

People spend approximately one third of their lives at work. Whether paid or volunteer, blue collar or white collar, workers experience tremendous joys and significant challenges in their daily work. It should be no surprise, then, that their spiritual questions, frustrations, and longings are often directly connected to their various careers and callings. But when they are gathered for corporate worship, services rarely acknowledge or mention their working lives.

As both a pastor and a parent, Cameron S. Shaffer is alarmed by the mass exodus of young people from the church over the past couple decades. The rise of the Nones and exvangelicals is clear evidence that our current children's and youth ministry practices are ineffective and must change if we want to stem the tide of dechurching. Whatever we're doing now is not creating lifelong disciples.

In Bart Ehrman Interpreted, theologian and writer Robert M. Price evaluates Ehrman’s body of work. Taking a collegial approach and rejecting polemics, Price defends Ehrman’s writing against conservative attacks, but also suggests a number of points at which Ehrman may be insufficiently or inconsistently critical.

Durante casi ocho siglos, cristianos y musulmanes se enfrentaron en una prolongada y compleja lucha por el control de la península Ibérica. En este libro, el filólogo y escritor Antonio Puente Mayor recorre la historia de la Reconquista a través de los santos que acompañaron su avance, desde la caída del reino visigodo hasta la toma de Granada en 1492. Figuras como Santo Domingo de Silos, Santa Casilda de Toledo, Santa Áurea de San Millán, San Raimundo de Fitero o San Pedro Nolasco formaron parte de ese ejército de Dios que contribuyó a forjar lo que hoy conocemos como España.
