Did you know when God made you, he did it with something greater in mind than how you're currently living? Believe it or not, God created you with the intention to rule on Earth as he rules in Heaven. Unfortunately, this birthright we all have deep within us has either been lost or buried. There's good news, though: The birthright to rule can be reclaimed. In Born to Rule, you will journey back to the beginning to rediscover the primary purpose for mankind and learn how to actualize this purpose into ruling every area of your life. After all, rulership is why you were created.

Are we missing God's design for Church? There's a quiet but growing hunger among believers for something deeper, something more authentic than the systems many have inherited. Unless God Builds It speaks directly to that longing. In this bold and thought-provoking work, pastor Jacob Hotchkiss draws from years in traditional church settings and his current experience within a network of home churches to challenge conventional models of church life and leadership.

What if the deepest longing of the human soul is not simply to follow God —but to live entirely within His Will? In Living in the Divine Will: Returning to the Purpose of Our Creation, author and speaker David Russell invites listeners on a profound spiritual journey into the very heart of God’s original design for humanity.

What if the problem isn’t that you’re on the outside, but that you were never meant to live in the center? In The Edge of the Inside, Jeremy Jernigan shares the raw, unvarnished story of walking away from a dream job at the center of megachurch life, not because he lost faith, but because he found a better one. After spending decades at the center of American evangelicalism as a pastor, leader, and insider, it all eventually unraveled. What felt like failure became an invitation to see faith differently.

Have you ever considered that much of what we call Christianity isn't actually Christian? The Church quietly traded: A rabbi you walked with—traded for a stage you watched. A table you belonged to—traded for a program you attended. A family who bore your wounds—traded for a service that...

Evangelism and missions are parts of the Christian life often accompanied by fears, insecurities, and cultural pressures. In this addition to the Union series, Daniel Hames and Michael Reeves argue that an individual's relationship with God influences their evangelism and missions more than anything else. Scripture clearly shows that a believer's responsibility is to make God known in the world, but this cannot be done without first knowing and enjoying God.

The third in Joe Thorn's three-book series on the confession, nature, and expression of the Church, The Life of the Church explores what the church does because of who it is. Useful for training in membership class, discipleship groups, and elder boards—and even for devotional reading—The Life of the Church is at once theological, practical, and experiential. Listeners will not simply be informed, but led to a deeper conviction about their role in the body of Christ.

The church reached a turning point in the sixteenth century. Worship had become a spectacle, the gospel was distorted, the sacraments were replaced by superstition, and ministers lived in immorality. To restore the church to the teachings of Christ, the Reformers cried out for a return to...

The story of a journey where I knew where I was going, but not what I would find. I discovered that there is a place for everyone, and everyone needs a place. It began with an entirely irregular and wholly uninspired churchgoer who decided to put "church" to the test by attending services at houses of worship of all different sizes, shapes, colors, religions, and denominations–33 in one year. I learned I knew a lot less than I thought: •Like Mark Twain’s death, rumors of the negative are greatly exaggerated •Church is the gardener of fruitful communities—sowing, tending, and reaping.

Faith was never meant to be static—it is meant to flex, evolve, and transform. Yet many of us inherit beliefs that no longer align with who we are becoming. The Congruent Life offers a path through that tension, guiding listeners from dissonance to liberation. Through reflection, rhythm, and radical love, it reveals how congruent practices can transform confusion and fragmentation into peace, freedom, and wholeness. This is not a book about preserving the religion you were handed. It's about cultivating a faith that heals, liberates, and empowers.

For nearly twenty centuries, the Roman Catholic Church withstood all the currents of change and history and maintained a closely guarded orthodoxy which has always served as the basis and center of all Christianity. Yet, it is as if all of that has been just arbitrarily swept away in the few years since Vatican II. Given what the Church has always taught about itself being indefectible, how could this have happened? Did that Council have something to do with that terrible loss of faith? Can the real Catholicism be found today, and if so, where?

The four books of St. Augustin On Christian Doctrine (De Doctrina Christiana, iv libri) are a compend of exegetical theology to guide the reader in the understanding and interpretation of the Sacred Scriptures, according to the analogy of faith. The first three books were written A.D.397; the fourth was added 426. He speaks of it in his Retractations, Bk. ii., chap. 4, as follows: “Finding that the books on Christian Doctrine were not finished, I thought it better to complete them before passing on to the revision of others.

In Sabbath Gospel, G. P. Wagenfuhr and Amy J. Erickson invite us to consider Sabbath as much more than a cessation from work. Sabbath is a grand exodus from tiring economic regimes and the empty promise of self-actualization.

Too often, what we call "peace" is really just silence, sameness, or surface unity, while below the surface, division is growing. But what if true Christian unity embraces differences instead of erasing them? What if real Christianity means we commit to dethroning the uniformity we often require...

We live in an age defined by disruption—artificial intelligence, digital tribalism, decentralization. In our post-truth culture too many leaders cling to outdated models, unsure how to engage a world that has already moved on. Is this the end—or the beginning of something new? Terry Parkman, DMin, recognizes the opportunity within the chaos. With today’s cultural, technological, and spiritual paradigms shifting faster than ever, this moment demands more than a few tweaks.
