The goal of this book is to help the reader to gain a solid understanding of the Christian and other worldviews and to understand why the Christian view of the world is, by far, with no close second, the superior view of reality. All other worldviews deceive us, send us in unhelpful directions, and do not make us the kind of people we want to be. To do this, he will first establish what a worldview is and how our view of the world has such a c...

Don't Miss the Train-Take the 40 Day Journey to Spiritual Renewal "Most of us don't dramatically dart away, but we sure do drift. Then there comes a day when we say, 'How did I end up here?' This book is an effort to help some find the way back to the Father. But beyond that, it is an attempt to help us all reignite our passions, retrofit our plans and return wholeheartedly to the gospel train of God's purposes." -from the Introduction. T...

El Nuevo Testamento es un libro radical. Su personaje central no tenía nada que ver con la religión como era costumbre. Él hizo declaraciones escandalosas, pidió cambios extensos, y creó un disturbio casi en cada lugar al que fue. Pero la naturaleza radical de su mensaje no radica en llamados a protestar o en abogar por el valor de la violencia. Por el contrario, radica en su llamado a dar la bienvenida al reino de Dios, el cual está irrumpi...

In the fifteen years since the book was first released, Jesus and Islam has been well received, finding its way to scores of nations and stirring thinking. Here are just four reader responses: ¿Jesus and Islam is an easy read. Douglas and Aziz have an excellent ability to make Islamic concepts and interpretations easy to understand from a layperson's point of view. Their book certainly opened my eyes to Islam from a completely different pers...

Hace casi veinte años, yo, junto con tres amigos que fueron estudiantes de posgrado, Gary Bishop, Mark Hermsmeyer y Paul Keyser, nos pusimos a hacer una lista de las áreas básicas de evidencia que apoyan el cristianismo. En unos cinco minutos hicimos una lista que es, esencialmente, el esquema de este libro. Desde entonces, he pasado innumerables horas investigando estos temas y he tenido la oportunidad de hablar sobre ellos en muchas ocasione...

Nothing tells us more about life than this death. No event shows us more the character of God. No speech ever spoke so clearly about the values we all need. What happened when Jesus of Nazareth went to that hill outside the city gates will never in this world be fully understood. No scholar, preacher or poet can really take us to its depths. No one can fully fathom the mysteries that are here, but the closer we can get to it all, the better ...

If this book does not shake you up, we will have failed in our task. The Sermon on the Mount on which it is based shook people to their very core. It rattled the cages. It sent shock waves through the crowds. Every defender of the status quo surely found most of it to be dangerous. That sermon and this book are not about a mild injection of religion, but about a radical, from the inisde-out change of heart, character and priorities. The challe...

No teaching is more needed by those who want a relationship with God that is full of challenge and at the same time peace.

When the disciples said to Jesus, as recorded in Luke 11:1, "Lord, teach us to pray, " they were, for once, asking for the right thing...Anyone who tries to take up his cross and follow Jesus and does not learn how to pray is like a towing company that tries to move stalled cars with bicycles and ropes. If we rely on nothing but human power, the life Jesus calls us to is impossible. On his or her own, not even the most stable, most healthy, ...

She has shared God, given nuggets of wisdom with women throughout her life, making a lasting impact on many. Gloria believed deeply in the biblical injunction of the older women teaching the younger women in her life and in this book, she does that with wisdom and grace.

Mention the church to many people, and a host of unattractive words jump into their minds-words like boredom, irrelevancy, greed, hypocrisy and foolishness. From the towering (but now empty) cathedrals of Europe to the picturesque white church buildings of New England (and Christmas card fame), the church has often been admired more for architecture than for attitude, more for construction than for character, it must make God cry. This book ...

Practical Advice for Those Who Have Decided to Follow Jesus A number of years ago, Tom Jones was asked to speak to a group of new disciples. The material that he shared with this group proved to be inspiring, grounding and encouraging. It is that material that grew into these 24 personal letters to young disciples, now revised to reflect the changing and maturing of our ministries. As churches are being planted and getting healthier, we are ...

Writing from the fresh perspective of an avowed "guilty soul, " Sam shares from his life experiences and from the Scriptures what grace does and does not mean in the Christian's life. He writes, "For many Guilty Souls, grace is the unclaimed prize. It has been given, but never truly received. Oh, we believe in grace in the sense that we know we need it to be saved and that we could never make it to heaven without it. But in another sense, grac...

This book acknowledges that there is not one simple formula for forgiving. It offers no checklist to pursue freedom from bitterness or resentment. Nor does it rely on an ultimatum that God will not forgive you unless you forgive others. Instead, it encourages you to understand your own heart and the obstacles that make forgiveness difficult. Through exposition of Scripture and compelling real-life examples this Book extends God's invitation fo...

Collected Wisdom on Aging Faithfully. With honesty, humility, and humor, the writers tell of their own mistakes, failures, trials and shortcomings, and how God has brought them to a better place through them all. They share experiences that have been unjust or unfair, and how God the righteous Judge has worked to bring justice in his own time and in his own way. But they don't just share trials-they also share stories of victory and inspirat...

Has your relationship with God gotten boring, discouraging, or legalistic? Has the Bible become rote and monotonous? Has the church lost its ability to inspire you? There is hope. Your failures are not final, your mistakes do not define you, and your best days lie ahead. God is not through with you yet, and oftentimes he does his best work when you're broken, flat on your back, and out of options. Kit is a living, breathing example that God lo...

What happens after we die? There are few questions more universal than this. We all want to know what happens when we die. No matter our religion, culture, or social status, no one is indifferent about death. But exactly what happens the instant we die? Is there a second chance for those who did not turn to the Lord during their earthly lives? Do we become angels, floating up in the clouds, or ghosts, restlessly roaming the earth? Do we go dow...
