This book seeks to confirm and strengthen the faith of believers by demonstrating the reliability of the authority on which Christianity rests: the Word of God and the person of Jesus Christ. Also provides a straightforward evangelistic tool for reaching non-Christians.

In this wise and enlightening book, C. S. Lewis—the great British writer, scholar, lay theologian, broadcaster, Christian apologist, and bestselling author of Mere Christianity, The Screwtape Letters, The Great Divorce, The Chronicles of Narnia, and many other beloved classics—examines the Psalms. As Lewis divines the meaning behind these timeless poetic verses, he makes clear their significance in our daily lives, and reminds us of their power to illuminate moments of grace.

The four letters in this volume are written to individuals: Timothy, Titus, and Philemon. They were church leaders that needed guidance and assurance in their ministry. Yet, these letters are for the entire Church. The Church can see and hear God’s loving-care in these letters, each one pointing to Jesus. While the teachings in these letters can, at times, seem counter cultural, you can be assured that they are indeed the inspired Word of God, and they are written in love for all who read them.

It is a serious problem when society misunderstands or disregards sin and repentance. But when the church neglects these doctrines, the impact is profound. This book unfolds the nature and necessity of biblical repentance and includes chapters on the myths, maxims, marks, models, and motives of repentance, as well as the graces and fruits that accompany it. There is also wise warning about the dangers of delayed repentance.

A devotional classic of brief daily Scripture readings and meditations penned by Norwegian theologian and preacher Fredrik Wisloff.

Beginning in the late 19th century, many intellectuals began to insist that scientific knowledge conflicts with traditional theistic belief—that science and belief in God are “at war.” Philosopher of science Stephen Meyer challenges this view by examining three scientific discoveries with decidedly theistic implications. Building on the case for the intelligent design of life that he developed in Signature in the Cell and Darwin’s Doubt, Meyer demonstrates how discoveries in cosmology and physics coupled with those in biology help to establish the identity of the designing intelligence behind life and the universe.

Meyer argues that theism—with its affirmation of a transcendent, intelligent and active creator—best explains the evidence we have concerning biological and cosmological origins. Previously Meyer refrained from attempting to answer questions about “who” might have designed life. Now he provides an evidence-based answer to perhaps the ultimate mystery of the universe. In so doing, he reveals a stunning conclusion: the data support not just the existence of an intelligent designer of some kind—but the existence of a personal God.

While there are a number of things that John MacArthur and I disagree on (e.g. Sacramental Theology, Soteriology, Eschatology, etc.), one of the things that he provides in his book Right Thinking in a World Gone Wrong is a helpful framework and launching point for a discussion about the intersection of the Christian life with a number of current and controversial ethical discussions. Throughout this work, the Christian reader will be confronted with a biblical reaction to topics such as God-honoring romance and Christian boundaries, the right to life, gender identity, political interaction, and the problem of suffering. It’s my hope that this book causes you to think critically about these issues and to honestly evaluate what the Bible has to say about them.
