Nothing that God created is the source of our human temptation. To the contrary! The human body is the crown of God's creation—consummated by his declaration that it was good. That God's people are unable to view the body without sinning is not an indictment of the body itself, but of the immaturity of the post-modern evangelical mind.

How do Bible passages written thousands of years ago apply to politics today? What can we learn from America's history of using the Bible in politics? How can we converse with people whose views differ from our own? In The Ballot and the Bible, Kaitlyn Schiess explores these questions and more. She unpacks examples of how Americans have connected the Bible to politics in the past, highlighting times it was applied well and times it was egregiously misused.

We must finally acknowledge that distance from his light welcomes darkness and distance from his word invites deception. We desperately long to find the answers to our questions without having to give up any of our self-proclaimed rights. We diligently search the open road to find the truth that doesn't require us to change our way of thinking or living. How determinedly we grapple with the incessant need to define the undefinable, to explain the unexplainable, prove the unprovable, or to pridefully attempt to put God, the Creator of the Universe, in a box.

Speak the Unspeakable is an invitation to transformation and a handbook for getting the job done. The world of silence in which we’ve been living, is starting to shift culturally as Good leads others (individuals and groups from kids to CEOs) through her unconventional approach to emotional healing and next-level living.

O historiador Leandro Karnal, um dos intelectuais brasileiros que, através de seus livros, palestras e vídeos, nos ajuda a pensar o mundo contemporâneo, discute uma questão presente na vida de todos: a solidão. A partir de referências de filósofos e da própria Bíblia, de fatos históricos e de romances, ele faz uma reflexão sobre a natureza de viver só—por pouco ou muito tempo, estando ou não acompanhado.

The Bible is an epic story of family redemption. Unfortunately, the family focus gets lost when the Bible is viewed as merely an academic work. The narrative turns into a debate over established doctrines, rather than a discussion about healthy family life. This academic approach has divided God’s family more than unified it.

Why would anyone want to watch horror movies? Why would Christians, in particular, bother with the genre? In Fear Not!, critic Josh Larsen makes the case that monster movies, creature features, slashers, and other fright films artfully reflect our deep worries in a way that resonates with the Christian experience. Combining critical observation and theological reflection, Larsen devotes each chapter to a different horror subgenre, connecting that subgenre to a commonly shared fear.

In America, there is no longer a healthy fear of God and a respect for his moral law. We have redefined morality in the spheres of marriage, human sexuality, and the right to life. We are guilty of pride and self-sufficiency, and have turned our backs on the God who has created us, blessed us, and given us all that we have.

Would Jesus feel at home in the ranks of today’s Christians? Or would he be too Unchristian for the religion that calls him Christ? From 2014 to 2021, the percentage of adults in the U.S. who identified themselves as Christians declined from 78% to 63%. This means about 49 million fewer people associated themselves with the religion built on the teachings of Christ.

Most of the time, we just consume or copy culture. But that is not enough. We must also do more than condemn or critique it. The only way to change it is to create it. For too long, Christians have had an insufficient view of culture and have waged misguided "culture wars." But Andy Crouch says we must reclaim the cultural mandate to be the creative cultivators God designed us to be. Culture is what we make of the world, both in making cultural artifacts as well as in making sense of the world around us.

Voddie Baucham has a message for Christians in today’s culture—it’s time to take a stand for the truth. In The Ever-Loving Truth, this powerful preacher and teacher addresses the cost of being a twenty-first-century Christian and helps listeners apply the unchanging truth of God’s Word to contemporary life issues. The book draws parallels between committed Christians in our society and the New Testament writers, Peter and John, as followers of Christ who proclaimed and stood for truth in their non-Christian environment.

In What Pope Francis Really Said, nationally respected Catholic journalist Tom Hoopes explores how Pope Francis is bringing the Catholic Church to bear on a dramatically changing world, not by altering its teachings but by applying enduring truths to new realities in fresh ways. This book takes up the primary themes of the first three years of the pontificate and challenges American Catholics to see the pope and his teachings as a pathway to personal renewal.

In these last days, false prophets abound, stealthily infiltrating our churches. Many, blinded by pride or ignorance, fall prey to their subtle ploys. But if you find yourself in bondage, there is hope. With decades of experience in spiritual warfare and prophetic ministry, best-selling author Jennifer LeClaire exposes these false prophets, empowering you to break free from their deceptions and witchcraft so you can walk in supernatural victory in all areas of your life.

In Life on Fire, James Aladiran lays bare the spiritual battles that still rage today. Through an engaging exposition of scripture, he reveals how we can destroy the stranglehold of seduction over our generation and help to usher in the greatest move of the Holy Spirit the world has ever seen.

This does not mean a withdrawal from politics to our own communities and churches. Instead, we Christians must take what we have learned from the wreck of secularism and build a Christendom of the New Foundation: A network of nations bound together by a formal, public, civic acknowledgement of the lordship of Jesus Christ and the fundamental truth of the Apostles' Creed.

Most Christians have never been challenged to grow up because the institutional church is a religion and not the family of God. Most of what is taught about the Bible is taught out of context and the false prophets are multiplying. When will we stop playing church and become the body of Christ that the Father ordained us to be? Who are you and why are you here? This book will challenge you to give up your religion for a true relationship with the God and Father of our Lord Jesus.

Since the late 1970s, there has been a spread of Islamic fundamentalism or Islamist ideology promoted and sponsored by Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states. More than a billion people are following the religion of Islam worldwide. Islamic fundamentalism or Islamism has helped radicalize a small portion of the Muslim population in every region, and a smaller subset has joined terrorist groups and engaged in acts of terror. Yet the Church of Christ must take the gospel to these people in obedience to the Great Commission of Jesus Christ in Matthew 28:18-20.

This book is not about pornography. You won't find graphic depictions about the porn industry, the catastrophic effects it has on individuals and relationships, or how to think differently about porn. If you're reading this book, you probably have some understanding of those things already—the last thing you need is to be subjected to that kind of detail...again. Finally Free is about hope. It's about discovering the freeing power available to those who trust in Jesus Christ, who can, will, and does set people free from the power of pornography.

Christianity is known for a lot of things these days. Labeled as intolerant or hateful, the true heart of the Christian faith has been buried underneath an onslaught of bad attention and bad press. We’ve failed our brand. In John 13, Jesus gave us the brand—radical love. Christians are known for many things today, but love is not one of them. In Rebranding Christianity, Pastor Jeff Jones and professional marketer Mike Hogan combine their experience to provide a fresh new perspective on the Christian faith, how it has strayed from its true intention, and how to reclaim it.
