Marcantonio Colonna's The Dictator Pope has rocked Rome and the entire Catholic Church with its portrait of an authoritarian, manipulative, and politically partisan pontiff. Occupying a privileged perch in Rome during the tumultuous first years of Francis' pontificate, Colonna was privy to the shock, dismay, and even panic that the reckless new pope engendered in the Church's most loyal and judicious leaders.

The Bible remains the best-selling book of all time, believed by nearly two billion Christians and Jews to be divinely inspired. But in this hard-hitting new book, author Robert J. Hutchinson proposes that it is actually much more than this. The ideas enshrined in the Bible, he says, triggered a revolution in human thought and established the moral and philosophical foundation for Western civilization.

In the aftermath of World War II, the United States stood at a precipice. The forces of modernity unleashed by the war had led to astonishing advances in daily life, but technology and mass culture also threatened to erode the country's traditional moral character. As award-winning historian George M. Marsden explains in The Twilight of the American Enlightenment, postwar Americans looked to the country's secular liberalelites for guidance in this precarious time, but these intellectuals proved unable to articulate a coherent common cause by which America could chart its course.

Can sincerity save your soul, even if you're sincerely wrong? In a world where religious pluralism is celebrated and doctrine is often dismissed as divisive, All Roads Don’t Lead to Heaven dares to ask the hard questions most avoid. Does it really matter what you believe? Is every church equally valid in God's eyes? What if the popular ideas of "sincerity is enough" and "attend the church of your choice" are leading millions down a road Jesus never endorsed? Clarence W. Fell, takes readers deep into the Scriptures, verse by verse, to uncover a sobering truth: sincerity without truth is ...

My thesis is simple: “If The Church Is True, Then Why Doesn't Sunday School End On Time?” Let me unpack that quote. First, this is not an anti-Mormon book, but “inside baseball” for faithful members. And who is my audience? Normal members: people like you. A note on spelling. I used the King James Version of the Bible, and I retain the archaic spelling.

Have you ever questioned the justice of sentencing a teenage child, who died before placing his faith in Jesus, to the fires of hell; a place producing such painful suffering and agony that will cause him to wail and gnash his teeth throughout the trillions of years of eternity? Does this sound like a just punishment for this teenager’s sixteen years of life on earth? Have you wondered why the loving and merciful Jesus that you have read about in the Gospels would do such a thing? Does it bother you that the doctrine of Calvinism is accepted in the Christian Church, although it teaches ...

Is it possible that today's religious world has lost sight of the narrow way Jesus spoke about? In The Narrow Way Still Matters, Clarence W. Fell boldly returns to the Bible’s original blueprint for the church. With a warm but unflinching voice, this book challenges the widespread acceptance of denominationalism and calls readers back to the “simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ” (2 Corinthians 11:3). Through direct Scripture, thoughtful commentary, and Restoration Movement clarity, Fell exposes how modern trends, even inside churches, have gradually shifted believers away from...

What if salvation isn’t limited to the elect? In Hope Beyond the Elect, Jonathan Ramachandran offers a bold, thought-provoking exploration of a long-overlooked question in biblical theology: Is there any hope of salvation for those not among the elect? Written for everyday churchgoers, this accessible volume simplifies and condenses scholarly research while remaining faithful to the conservative, early Christian view known as Chiliasm—the belief in a literal 1,000-year reign of Christ. Drawing from Scripture and quotes from early Church Fathers such as Irenaeus, Justin Martyr, and ...

Carefully documented facts and powerful biblical teaching are the basis for the provocative claims and predictions outlined in this riveting book.

The best-selling Unholy Alliance is now in audio! Former leftist radical David Horowitz blows the lid off the dangerous liaison between U.S. liberals and Islamic radicals. With America's battle against the disastrous force of terrorism at hand, Horowitz takes us behind the curtain of the unholy alliance between liberals and the enemy - a force with malevolent intentions, and one that Americans can no longer ignore.

This book is based on the letter Jesus sent to the seven churches in Asia Minor, as depicted in Revelation Chapters 2 and 3. It is a book that can be read independently or it can be read alongside the companion book 'What's Wrong With My Church?' Some commentators have suggested that the letter to the churches in Asia Minor represents the church throughout the ages, through until present day. Because I cannot find any evidence in scripture for this viewpoint, I have simply applied what Jesus said in the Book of Revelation to all churches and Christians within the Kingdom of God. This book ...

God has called you to be an agent of cultural change! America is experiencing a cultural revolution. Against the onslaught of conflicting political agendas, powerful media pressures, and radical ideologies, what should Christians think? How should we respond? In Counterculture, Pastor Duane Sheriff reveals how the "woke" movement has a form of godliness but denies the power of the cross. Instead of aligning with the dominant cultural trends, believers must rise up and forge a kingdom culture, countering critical race theory with "critical grace theory".

Writing in response to our current “constitutional crisis”, New York Times best-selling author and Christian activist Jim Wallis urges America to return to the tenets of Jesus once again as the means to save us from the polarizing bitterness and anger of our tribal nation.

During the 1991 National Conference of the Churches of Christ in Zimbabwe there was an appeal from the youth of the churches for a study book to be prepared that would contain teachings of the church that the young people should know. For several years before that it had been felt that a good study book was needed, not just for the youth, but for church leaders and potential church leaders as well. To meet this need, missionaries at Mashoko Mission, particularly David Grubbs, Peter Grubbs, and Jill Shaw pooled their efforts and produced this manuscript. The material was then published by ...

Jesus prophesied that in the last days there would be many false prophets who would deceive many. Apostle Peter also wrote that in the last days many false teachers would be present among the saints. False prophets and false teachers are instruments of the Devil. The devil uses them for two main reasons; one, to ensure the saint does not receive his full inheritance in Christ and two, to ensure that many go to hell by believing the lies. This book has being written to warn church leaders and saints to be cautious about false teachers and also share wisdom on what the Church must do to ...

In his groundbreaking new book, Counterpunch, Floyd G. Brown issues both the battle cry and a strategic action plan for a populist movement in America that goes beyond any president or political party. Issue by issue, the Left chooses new markers in the sand and waits to see who will embrace their agenda. Those who don't are canceled and silenced. This leads to alienation and the feeling that violence is the only option left. Brown wants listeners to know there is another way, a civil disobedience of the state that allows us to be peaceful—and potentially more successful.

This book explores the truth of the vastness and complete authority of Jesus Christ and the authority of His Church, under Jesus.

Godless is the most explosive audiobook yet from number one New York Times best-selling author Ann Coulter. In this completely original and thoroughly controversial work, Coulter writes, "Liberals love to boast that they are not 'religious', which is what one would expect to hear from the state-sanctioned religion. Of course liberalism is a religion.
