On Sunday mornings, is it about going to Church or going to worship? Oftentimes, it is easy to go through the motions of discipleship and leave it at that. We go to church, attend our meetings, and carry out our callings. But where does Christ fall into all of this? Without Him at the center, even these righteous duties can overwhelm rather than build —leaving us spiritually hungry. This book is an invitation to refocus —to move beyond habit and rediscover a living, sustaining relationship with Jesus Christ. True spiritual renewal does not come from doing more, but from drawing closer to Him.

Believe it or not, as they stood at the foot of the cross, the original disciples who walked in close companionship with Jesus knew nothing of the real mission of the man they followed. They did not realize who Christ was, why He came, why He had to suffer, and what was to be gained by His suffering. They did not know what happened on the cross, or during the three days and nights in the tomb before His resurrection. They did not know why the incarnation was important, or that it even was an incarnation.

En nuestro mundo lleno de satisfacción inmediata, Jesús ha sido ignorado, olvidado y reducido. Lo consideramos un asesor de vida dedicado a nuestro éxito, un terapeuta para nuestra ansiedad, un aliado político para nuestras causas o un genio para nuestros deseos. En medio de todo, pasamos por alto al único que puede rescatarnos de nosotros mismos.

Home by C. Baxter Kruger is a profound exploration of the deepest longings of the human soul and their true fulfillment in the life of the Triune God. First published in 1994 and newly republished in 2023, this short but powerful book invites listeners to rethink what it truly means to be "home."

In The Parable of the Dancing God, theologian C. Baxter Kruger, Ph.D., offers a profound and liberating reimagining of the beloved story from Luke 15-the parable often known as "The Prodigal Son." With passion and theological depth, Kruger redirects our focus from the sons in the story to the heart of the father, revealing a God who doesn't just forgive sinners but runs, embraces, and celebrates them with a dancing joy that shatters religious expectations.

In The Secret, Dr. C. Baxter Kruger offers a profound and illuminating message: the truth of our identity and existence is found in our inclusion in the relationship of the Triune God-Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This is not religious theory, but the bedrock reality of who we are, what life is, and how we are meant to live it. Through vivid parables, personal stories, and theological depth, Kruger exposes the lie that we are lost, alone, and abandoned-a lie whispered by "the troll," a metaphor for the evil that sows doubt and shame in human hearts.

The world into which Jesus was born smelled of sweat and soil, camel dung and human fear. Into that dust, God stepped—and He stayed. Jesus: The God Who Grew Up Among Us is a vivid, historically grounded portrait of Christ that dares to be human without surrendering divinity.

It has been said and rightly so that the greatest problem with the Christian church throughout the centuries has been an identity crisis—we are not sure who we are. The church as an institution is inseparable from western culture, and yet a true theological, biblical, and prophetic understanding of the church is all too often beyond our understanding. Who we are. Why are we here. What our place is in history. These questions few Christians seem to understand. And yet an understanding of these matters is among the highest, most joyful, and glorious of all human ideas.

Many depictions of Jesus show him as a character who coolly and calmly floats above the grit and grime of human existence. He doesn't hurt, he doesn't fear, he doesn’t laugh and, most tragically, he doesn’t love very passionately. He seems not to feel at all. But a closer look at the Bible reveals something surprisingly different.

Why does it sometimes feel like God is distant—even when we're doing "all the right things"? Could it be that modern faith has traded true worship for comfort, leaving us spiritually dry and disconnected? In this eye-opening book, Rabbi Kirt A. Schneider reveals how the ancient design of the...

God made the Devil. Why would a good and sovereign God create evil at all? For centuries this question has stood at the center of the greatest challenge to the Christian faith. If God is all-powerful and perfectly good, why does evil exist? Why would the Creator permit the fall of Satan, the corruption of mankind, and the suffering that fills human history?
