The Book of Kells is a mystery. It is distinct from all copies of the gospels from the early Middle Ages, not only in the quality and amount of its decoration but also in the peculiarities of the ordering of its contents, the oddness of its apparatus, the appearance of the script, the interplay of text and ornament, and the erratic forms of its Latin.

The church is the origin, means, and end of missions. Scripture calls on missionaries to start and strengthen churches where new believers—and more missionaries—can grow. But today, many Christians downplay the role of the church in favor of pragmatism and parachurch ministries, weakening the mission's cause.

Throughout history, God has always preserved a remnant—a people who refuse to bow to compromise, religious control, or the fear of man. These are the burning ones, the set-apart ones—those who will carry the fire of revival when others remain cold. The remnant is rising again.

Sharing Christ with others was a natural part of life for Gene Edwards. He was comfortable introducing a person to Christ and then guiding him or her through committing their life to Him and receiving Him into their inmost being. Gene wrote this little book not long before his death in December of 2022. SeedSowers now brings it to you.

En el mundo espiritual, hay varias líneas que un hijo de Dios debe cruzar para tener un impacto real y ser un agente de cambio para la sociedad actual y las próximas generaciones.

El apóstol Guillermo Maldonado trae un tema controversial y, sobre todo, tabú en la iglesia de Cristo. Por muchos años, si no siglos, el tema sexual ha sido un misterio, un asunto vergonzoso, del cual no se habla ni se enseña. Esta trampa del enemigo, ha hecho que las personas oculten sus problemas sexuales de manera que nadie pueda saber de ellos, y lo que es más importante, que nadie pueda ayudarles a salir de los mismos. Temas como la inmoralidad sexual y los demonios, el abuso sexual, la batalla que ocurre en la mente, o la santificación como solución, son reveladores y liberadores.

¡Necesito un padre! Este es el clamor de millones de personas en todo el mundo; Es lo que gritan los hombres y mujeres de todas las edades, en todas partes. Muchos hijos e hijas espirituales y naturales son huérfanos gritando: "¡Necesito un padre!" Muchos están solos, sin propósito, dirección o destino; No tienen idea de dónde vienen o hacia dónde van.

La pregunta que flota, hoy día, en el ambiente cristiano es: ¿Quién es y cómo se reconoce a un verdadero apóstol?

Todo ministerio, ya sea el de pastor, evangelista, maestro o profeta, tiene un sello inigualable; así, también, el apóstol tiene un sello puesto por Dios que muchos pueden tratar de imitar, pero nunca igualar.

You recite it. But do you understand it? The Apostles’ Creed has become so familiar to us that we don’t think about what we’re saying. Christians from different times, places, and traditions have been united by its eternal truths. We believe them, we recite them, but do we build our lives on them? The fact that so many in the early church died for their faith means they were caught up in something greater than themselves. What were those truths? How did they empower a revolution?

For more than 20 years, Andrew Harvey has trained his fine scholar’s eye on sacred texts and mystical truths to illuminate the message of inspired activism that they hold.

The passing of a Pope is one of the most solemn and symbolic events in the world, an occurrence that transcends religious boundaries and captivates global attention. It marks the end of an era—not just for the 1.3 billion Catholics who view the Pope as the spiritual successor to Saint Peter, but for historians, political leaders, and observers across the planet. When a Pope dies, centuries of tradition awaken, setting into motion a series of elaborate, almost mystical, protocols that blend theology, politics, symbolism, and deep-rooted human emotion.

Timeless: A History of the Catholic Church is a fresh retelling of the history of the Church.

Along the way, you will meet the weird, wonderful, and always fascinating heroes and villains of the Catholic family tree.

Imagine having a job where your workplace is a centuries-old palace, your outfit is steeped in symbolism, and your words reach an audience of over a billion people every time you speak. That’s just a glimpse into the life of the Pope—one of the most visible, influential, and intriguing figures in the world. But there’s far more to the papacy than grand ceremonies and global headlines. The Pope is not just a religious leader; he’s a symbol, a diplomat, a shepherd, and the head of a global institution that spans every continent.

The history of the Western church is stained by injustice. The impulse to resist justice and look the other way has harmed the church and the people it aims to serve. But a different future is possible. In The Justice of Jesus, Joash Thomas surveys the history of injustice and colonization in the Global South at the hands of the Western church. He shows that in addition to harming colonized peoples, colonization has limited Western Christians' understanding of the gospel, leading us to devalue the pursuit of justice for our neighbors on the margins.

Biblical eldership is too important to the local church to be muddled in confusion and unscriptural church traditions. According to the New Testament, elders jointly pastor the church, teach the word, protect the church from false teachers, exhort and admonish believers in sound doctrine, pray with the sick, and judge doctrinal issues. In biblical terminology, elders shepherd, oversee, lead, manage, and care for the local church. By developing a healthy eldership, we develop a healthy church.
