Servanthood of Song is a history of American church music from the colonial era to the present. Its focus is on the institutional and societal pressures that have shaped church song and have led us directly to where we are today. The gulf which separates advocates of traditional and contemporary worship—Black and White, Protestant and Catholic—is not new. History repeatedly shows us that ministry, to be effective, must meet the needs of the entire worshiping community, not just one segment, age group, or class.

Ella fue testigo de la resurrección del Señor y encargada por Él de comunicárselo a los demás. En esta novela la he imaginado como una mujer fuerte, inteligente y valiente que deseaba ser protagonista de su propia existencia en una sociedad en la que las mujeres no significaban nada. Tras el encuentro con Jesús, el amor de su vida, todo su interior se trastocó y de su horizonte existencial desaparecieron las sombras.

Seminaries teach the Bible—but are they biblical? Discover the shocking roots of the seminary system and Paul’s radical alternative. For centuries, the Christian world has assumed that seminaries and Bible schools are God’s method of training ministers. But what if this model never came from Scripture at all? In this groundbreaking book, Gene Edwards traces the surprising roots of the seminary system—from pagan Greece and Aristotle’s philosophies to the medieval university and beyond.

Continuing the epic of Christendom told in earlier volumes, The Age of Paradise and The Age of Division, the author explains how, between the Italian Renaissance of the 14th century and the Russian Revolution of the 20th, secular humanism displaced Christianity to become the source of modern culture. The result was some of the most illustrious music, science, philosophy, and literature ever produced.

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.

In John 17, Jesus says to his father: “Glorify me as I glorify You.” How can I say thanks for the things He has done for me? Things so undeserved yet He died to prove His love for me. The voices of a million angels cannot express my gratitude for all that I have and ever hope to be. I owe it all today to God. Please follow my life in this book as I follow Jesus Christ the Lord and Savior of our lives. You, too, have a story.

Culture is the first sermon people experience. Before anyone hears your message, they feel the room. They notice the atmosphere. They decide if they belong. And that feeling often determines whether they’ll come back. In The Great Church Culture Blueprint, pastor and church planter Bryan Cox shares a simple, practical framework to help church leaders build a healthy, welcoming, life-giving culture—on purpose.

In Christianity in the Crosshairs, Bill Donohue, president of the Catholic League, shows how the ruling class allied with the radical left to fundamentally transform America. But patriotic and independent-minded Americans—particularly faithful Catholics—are impeding their progress. As a result, these defenders of faith and family have become the targets of an ongoing campaign of persecution. Donohue analyzes at length the many fronts of this war on Christianity and then calls upon his listeners to fight back.

An honest assessment of the spiritual ground we inhabit begins by acknowledging the criticisms many Canadians have about the church are valid. We have to see that the church's traditional treatment of women, our inability to calmly address the shifting moral norms of our society, our pandering, or our obsession with certain church models and church language has worked against us. We have to admit Christianity has been used as a tool of oppression.

If you have ever wondered exactly how we got from the Christian society of the early centuries, united in its faithfulness to apostolic tradition, to the fragmented and secular state of the West today, The Age of Division will answer all your questions and more. In this second of a four-volume cultural history of Christendom, author John Strickland applies insights from the Orthodox Church to trace the decline and disintegration of both East and West after the momentous but often neglected Great Schism.

In fact, there is no way to move forward in mission without change and conflict.
