"My body, my choice," the world tells us, but an honest reading of the Bible says otherwise. Why does it matter what we do with our bodies? In this audiobook, David Tipton argues that bodies are for more important than we may realize, and they serve a greater purpose than just carrying our brains around.

Turning the other cheek does not mean standing by while the enemies of God dismantle Christian civilization and brainwash our children. Decrying the cowardice that masquerades as meekness, Eric Metaxas summons the Church to battle. An attenuated and unbiblical “faith” based on what Bonhoeffer called “cheap grace” has sapped the spiritual vitality of millions of Americans. Paying lip service to an insipid “evangelism,” they shrink from combating the evils of our time. Metaxas refutes the pernicious lie that fighting evil politicizes Christianity.

La vie chrétienne est un véritable combat pour la sainteté. Notre vocation à être mis à part nous place dans la ligne de mire d’une culture qui s’oppose à la vérité de Dieu. Même si le monde qui nous entoure change, notre combat reste le même. Dans ce livre, John MacArthur nous présente un plan de bataille fondé sur la Parole de Dieu qui nous aidera à rester fidèles au Seigneur. Dieu a révélé quel comportement nous devons adopter. Par sa Parole et son Esprit, il nous fournit tout ce dont nous avons besoin pour persévérer dans la sainteté et l’humilité.

L’Église d’aujourd’hui a besoin d’un réveil. Comme l’affirme Paul Washer : « Nous ne pouvons pas simplement faire ce qui semble juste à nos yeux, puis nous attendre à ce que le Saint-Esprit vienne bénir nos efforts. » À vrai dire, le diable n’a guère besoin de s’opposer aux prières de l’Église pour un réveil, à moins que le peuple de Dieu ne cherche réellement à vivre et à diriger ses assemblées selon la Parole de Dieu. Ce livre examine dix domaines où l’Église d’aujourd’hui a négligé de suivre les directives bibliques.

"Cada um ame o seu próximo como a si mesmo." Não é sem razão que o versículo de Levítico 19.18 é o texto do Antigo Testamento mais citado no Novo. Em dois mil anos de história, o amor tem levado cristãos a superar barreiras em prol do bem comum. Com alguma frequência a Igreja é duramente criticada pelos seus e pela sociedade. Justas ou injustas, as menções pouco honrosas ao cristianismo não conseguem obscurecer a história de cristãos que, movidos pelo amor ao próximo, reverberam o exemplo do bom samaritano.

Following Jesus has never been harder. In a culture that glamorizes sex, chases fame, and shames those who don't fall in line, it takes a rebel to be a Christian. In this book, Sean McDowell aims to encourage and inspire a generation of rebels who will dare to stand up to the madness in a just and loving manner. A Rebel's Manifesto offers clear guidance to help people navigate the many moral issues that plague this generation.

The Evidence of Things Unseen: Faith Revealed in a Family, a Community and a Nation describes the evidence of faith first initiated in the family experience, then developed in the faith communities. The text illustrates how faith developed in evangelical communities will result in a certain view of our nation and its governance. This leads to the paradox that these views often conflict with biblical principles taught by those communities. The concluding section of this book suggests a reason for this conflict and a proposed remedy.

We live in a world that has become secularized, marked by ideology and partisanship. In such a world, how are we supposed to know what is right and wrong? As Christians, how are we supposed to approach the social issues of our day? With conflicting voices surrounding us, how can we hear and know the voice of Jesus Christ and receive His teachings? As Christians, we seek to live the way of the Lord Jesus, but that’s easier said than done. Sanctify Them in Truth by Fr. Jeffrey Kirby, STD is an approachable, easy-to-listen guide on eight of our most pressing social issues.

A great reckoning is underway in the church today: a naming and exposing of the exclusivity, abuse, racism, patriarchy, and unchecked power that have marked evangelical Christianity for far too long. What kind of church will emerge on the other side?

The Bible is an ocean-sized collection of strength and encouragement for men. But a typical men’s devotional is like dipping your toe in a kiddie pool. Go deeper with 52 Weeks of Strength for Men.

Grab some buddies and see how iron sharpens iron.

If you, like me, realize that God’s grace in allowing Jesus to take our punishment for sin means that He deserves no less than to be to first on our priority list, the hub that holds the spokes of our life wheel, the main thing (have I used enough Christian cliches here?), then the question becomes, what does this mean for me as a public school teacher? The courts have decided that we represent the government, and as such, we must be careful about how we live our faith in front of our students. How, then, do we follow the Great Commission and still teach with integrity?

Woven into the fabric of Jewish existence there is an undeniable uniqueness. Israel’s terrain, her history and chief city, all owe their uniqueness to the fact that God’s appointed Savior for the world was born a Jew. His destiny and theirs are forever intertwined. There is bitter controversy over the subject of Israel, but time itself will establish the truth about this nation’s place in God’s plan. For Lance Lambert, the Lord Jesus is the key that unlocks Jewish history. He is the key not only to their fall, but also to their restoration.

Racism is omnipresent in American life, both public and private. We are immersed in what prominent Black church leader Willie Dwayne Francois III calls white noise—the racist speech, ideas, and policies that lull us into inaction on racial justice. White noise masks racial realities and prevents constructive responses to microaggressions, structural inequality, and overt interpersonal racism. In this book, Francois calls people of all racial backgrounds to take up practices that overcome silence and inaction on race and that advance racial repair.

When it comes to racial reconciliation, we often ask, “Where do we go from here?” But has it ever occurred to you that the real question is “Why are we still here?” In other words, until we’ve seen the problem of racism correctly—its history, its current effects, and its root causes—we aren’t equipped to head in the right direction. We’ll just keep falling into the same old patterns. The blind will lead the blind, and no one will have the vision to foster real change.
