Is there a new reformation happening in the church? It depends on who you ask. The New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) is a popular and fast-growing new movement of Christians who emphasize signs and wonders, and teach that God is giving new revelation through new apostles and prophets. But is this biblical Christianity? In Counterfeit Kingdom, apologists and NAR experts Holly Pivec and Douglas Geivett show how the NAR’s key tenets distort the gospel, twist the Scriptures, are influenced by New Age practices, and lead faithful Christians to shipwreck their faith.

Saint Athanasius was an astute apologist, proficient theologian, and champion of orthodox Christology. He earned the title Athanasius Contra Mundum for his willingness to take on the world in defending biblical truth.

Education: Does God Have an Opinion? is a scriptural guide designed to help you disciple and educate your children in agreement with God’s word.

Young adults today want authentic answers to their soul-deep questions about God. They want meaningful ways to communicate those answers to others. Most of all, they want to know that they are living a life that matters. In A Good and True Story, philosopher, apologist, and international speaker Paul Gould leads listeners on an engaging journey through eleven clues that suggest Christianity is not only true but satisfies our deepest longings.

Critics outside the church often accuse the Old Testament God of genocide, racism, ethnic cleansing, and violence. But a rising tide of critics within the church claim that Moses and other "primitive," violence-prone prophets were mistaken about God's commands and character. Both sets of critics dismiss this allegedly harsh, flawed, "textual" Old Testament God in favor of the kind, compassionate, "actual" God revealed by Jesus. Are they right to do so?

A concise guide to understanding how and why the ancient Christian faith makes sense for today and a blueprint for communicating truth to a "truthless" and cynical generation. The book is centered around six key principles: objectivity, rationality, veracity, authority, incompatibility, and integrity. In the ultimate apologetic, John MacArthur presents a case for Christianity that serves as a logical explanation as much as a solid defense.

Do you ever wonder, why is life hard? Why is there suffering? What is my purpose in life? You are not alone. No matter your faith background, we all have questions about God, our purpose, and why bad things happen. Trying to find reliable answers can be overwhelming. It's hard to know who to trust with the questions you are most afraid to ask. You need a safe space to ask these common questions about faith.

Is it wrong to doubt? Many Christians assume that doubt is faith's opposite and that wandering among the hard questions of faith will lead us further and further away from God. True believers, the assumption goes, never waver in their confidence in the fundamental truths of the Christian faith. Professor and philosopher Travis Dickinson disagrees. Instead, he says, our doubts and hard questions about the faith are actually an important way we can express our commitment and love to God.

Our children are facing cultural "giants" that previous generations could never have imagined. Secularism, depravity, immorality, and apathy taunt Christians with a barrage of hate and intolerance. Will our children be equipped to stand strong against these giants or will they be overcome? That is the question Christian parents are asking. In this book, Ken Ham gives us a powerful message about the importance of raising strong believers. He also helps prepare parents to equip the next generation to thrive in the face of cultural adversity and emerge as tomorrow’s Christian leaders.

The Great Deception of American Christianity Without Christ exposes the condition of the American Church today, which has evolved mostly into a mixture of man-made traditions, false teachings, unscriptural practices, doctrines of demons, hypocrisy, religious superstitions, false prophets, man-made myths, and a money machine. If you have ever wondered if something just doesn't seem right with our American Christianity, then you need to listen to this book.

We’ve all seen the memes that populate the internet: live your truth, follow your heart, you only have one life to live. They sound nice and positive. But what if these slogans are actually lies that unhinge us from reality and leave us anxious and exhausted? Another Gospel? author Alisa Childers invites you to examine modern lies that are disguised as truths in today’s culture. Everyday messages of peace, fulfillment, and empowerment swirl around social media. On the surface, they seem like sentiments of freedom and hope, but in reality, they are deeply deceptive.

It's no easy journey disentangling the good news of the gospel from the toxic theologies that have rendered Jesus unrecognizable. It's no wonder the church has sent many walking. In The Road Away from God, Jonathan Martin reimagines Luke's story of two disillusioned disciples walking the Emmaus road away from the holy city where they had watched their hope die before their eyes. For anyone who is feeling their faith unravel, reckoning with religious trauma, or walking the long road of deconstruction, Martin speaks hope into the journey of today's disillusioned disciples.

Is there a more sober approach to finding the real Jesus?

What is life all about? What are we here for? Is there any meaning or purpose to our existence? Thinkers throughout the centuries have pondered these questions. While the distractions of the modern world prevent many from grappling seriously with such matters, the truth is that humans cannot live without meaning any more than we can live without breathing or eating. Os Guinness invites us to examine our lives and join the great quest for meaning and a life well lived.

Is Christianity a fairy tale for the infantile? Or worse, a cruel fantasy? Such questions reflect the skepticism of outsiders and the doubts of insiders. The answer isn’t a louder faith to shout them down, but a humbler faith that points to a bigger God. Samuel Wells illustrates this through his engagement with 10 difficult questions about Christianity. In each case, he portrays the traditional position and the skepticism of the modern age as two rival stories, transcending both to offer a revitalized story that better renders the radical and vulnerable nature of authentic faith.

La science peut-elle tout expliquer ? Beaucoup de gens le pensent aujourd’hui. Il faut dire que les découvertes et les progrès technologiques ont été extrêmement nombreux ces dernières décennies.
