The Line of Defense includes 30 powerful scriptures to keep you in troubled times. For our focus must be on the problem-solver rather than the plethora of problems.

The Bible is filled with lots of info about sex, and believe it or not, God thinks it's a great idea! And why shouldn't he? He invented it. But, just as it would be unwise to ice skate on a lake in the middle of summer, it's also unwise to have sex with anyone who's not your wife.

If wolves in sheep clothing are a problem for the people of God, then what should we think of wolves who identify as wolves and want to supplant Christian civilization founded on materialist operating assumptions? There are many Christians who will not participate in civilization-building efforts that include economics, journalism, politics, education, and science because they believe (or have been taught to believe) these areas of thought are outside the realm of what constitutes a Christian worldview. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Poverty is much more than simply a lack of material resources, and it takes much more than donations and handouts to solve it. When Helping Hurts shows how some alleviation efforts, failing to consider the complexities of poverty, have actually (and unintentionally) done more harm than good. But it looks ahead. It encourages us to see the dignity in everyone, to empower the materially poor, and to know that we are all uniquely needy - and that God in the gospel is reconciling all things to himself.

I didn’t think there was a way out. Many churches and individuals now affirm the gay Christian life and cheer-on LGBTQ Pride. But what if the LGBTQ life isn’t the party - for our neighbors, loved ones, or ourselves - that the world says it is? What if these valuable people are in pain? Pain that sex and Gay Pride won’t heal?

The race conversation is going to take place with or without you. Don't allow fear to stop you from engaging in it. Too many people have allowed activists, politicians, and the media to frame the parameters of the conversation. There is a loud minority of voices that would have us believe that we must pick a side, that there is no room for common ground. Let's Start Again will help you see that there is an option that unites rather than divides.

Have you ever wondered why there is so much prayer for the sick in Pentecostal, Charismatic, and Word of Faith churches, yet so few of the seriously ill are healed? Or why people fall down under the spirit's power, but are often no different when they get up?

This stirring book asks the questions you have always wanted to ask and confronts you with answers that could change your life.

Less than a year after joining the Theology of Joy and the Good Life project at the Yale Center for Faith and Culture, Angela Gorrell got word that a close family member had died by suicide. Less than a month later, she lost her father to a fatal opioid addiction and her nephew, only 22 years old, to sudden cardiac arrest. The theoretical joy she was researching at Yale suddenly felt shallow and distant. But joy was closer at hand than it seemed. In The Gravity of Joy, Gorrell uses her search for authentic, grounded Christian joy to reflect on the larger societal need for joy.

As never before in American history, Christians are witnessing biblical values being replaced by laws that impose a godless, immoral, oppressive social agenda on their country. The overall disdain political and religious liberal activists have toward conservative values in general and authentic Christianity in particular has produced an ideological civil war that is raging out of control. But many people sense there’s something more sinister going on.

Money is a fact of everyday life. We earn it, spend it and save it. We’re tempted to worship it and to trust it to provide for our needs. While much has been written about the power, danger, and stewardship of money, little has been written about what money actually is and whether or not money itself is moral. That information gap has been exploited to enrich a privileged few, enslave millions, and reap confusion and division throughout the world. How did this happen and what can we do about it?

This book addresses the question from theological, practical, and experiential perspectives, giving individuals and families with disabilities the opportunity to voice their needs and suggest some things the rest of us can do to make them welcome in the household of God.

For centuries, Christians have inadvertently been wallowing in the muck and mire of "race theory" and its language. It's time to start speaking of humanity in biblical terms as God intended. The Kingdom of God does not refer to mankind in the words and phrases of misguided scientists. We remain divided as a culture while the Church has the very answer for ethnic reconciliation. The Fallacy of Race seeks to inspire the listener to reflect the heart and mind of God in our culture, bringing healing and unity to our land.
