As Christians, we often ask what the gospel is, when we should be asking why it is. Matthew W. Bates has previously demonstrated that the “good news” of the gospel is that Jesus is King. But in his latest book, he explores God’s intentions: why has God issued this royal proclamation? And what role can it play in our everyday lives? As Bates observes, we find the answer in a simple but challenging realization: “I am a horrible king of my own life."

In light of these pressures, it’s more important than ever to help women see the truth about who God created them to be.

¿Cómo darle sentido a nuestra existencia sin un ser superior o un Dios que nos ordene? Vivimos una crisis que va desde las Iglesias hasta el surgimiento de una "fe" distinta a la que conocíamos: el "nuevo ateísmo", con divulgadores connotados como el biólogo Richard Dawkins. Y mientras predomina en Occidente el racionalismo científico a ultranza, el espacio para la reflexión sobre lo transcendente y la duda sobre Dios ocupan un lugar marginal en nuestra cultura. Ante esto, Joseph Ramos plantea la necesidad de retomar ese diálogo perdido, pero no desde la fe, que solo sirve al que la tiene, sino desde la razón.

Most of us take it for granted. We just do it—whether it's trusting that the sun will come up tomorrow, that the lunch we are about to eat is not poisoned or that our religious beliefs are not ill-founded. But why should we believe any of these things? Why should anyone believe anything at all? With insight and humor, James W. Sire examines the reasons people give for believing what they do and suggests what are truly satisfying and compelling reasons for belief. He then turns to the question of a specific belief—namely, belief that the Christian faith is true.

This introduction to the roots of many Catholic beliefs and practices provides a sense of connection to our brothers and sisters who have gone before us and helped shape the faith. Mike Aquilina makes it clear that as far as the essentials are concerned, a time-travel trip back to the beginning of the church would reveal a church familiar to Catholics today. Just as an acorn grows into a tree and yet remains the same plant, the Catholic church is a living organism that has grown from the faith of the earliest Christians into the Body of Christ we know today.

Homicide detective J. Warner Wallace applies ten common rules of evidence to make the case for Christianity in this completely updated and expanded edition of the apologetic classic. A devout atheist, J. Warner Wallace couldn’t imagine believing in the Christian faith—until he applied the same step-by-step investigative process he utilized in his work as a homicide detective to the case for Christianity.

Justin Brierley is convinced that in our time we are witnessing a growing wave of faith. Famously described as the “long, withdrawing roar” of the “Sea of Faith,” the Christian narrative that shaped the West has been replaced by sweeping secularism. But is that the end of the story? It was a conversation with agnostic journalist Douglas Murray that led Brierley to investigate whether a change was on the horizon.

Seeking to reopen the debate, Justin Brierley began to invite atheists and sceptics on to Premier Christian Radio to air arguments for and against the Christian faith.
