The book opens with a deep dive into the human condition and...

Is being good the way to heaven? Being religious? Jesus said, “You must be born again.” John Wesley, spiritual forefather of Methodist, Pentecostal, and Holiness churches and the Salvation Army, explains Jesus’ words in this brief classic. One of the standard sermons Wesley required his circuit riders to learn and re-preach, The New Birth shows that religion and morality are good but new life in Jesus is vital. Wesley pulls no punches. But his 18th-century English is hard for most modern readers. As with his best-selling John Wesley’s The Character of a Methodist, David Wentz has ...

This is a simple and very short booklet. It is not meant to be comprehensive. It provides a big picture structure to the book of Romans in the New Testament. In fact, if you have Kindle Unlimited, just read this in half an hour or less. That said, because of this hidden partition, it further clarifies some controversial aspects of Romans: Who can be spiritual Jews? What does Romans 9 really means and does it have anything to do with Calvinism? Is Romans 13 really about the government? If you are interested in answering those questions and more, this is a succinct and compact guide. The book...

From the outset, the implications of this book are terrifying. In this thorough, and sometimes disquieting, investigation of the biblical predictions, the Great Apostasy emerges, not as a foreboding future event, but as the very essence of today's postmodern Church. Like tares in the wheat field, false adherents are presently growing up alongside true believers. But how will we know them? This is where Steve Gallagher is at his best. He exposes the prevailing self-centeredness, widespread sensuality, and rebellion to authority that epitomizes this false part of the Body.

Many of us are familiar with the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John; but what about the Gospel of Leviticus 23?

Does anyone really want to forgive? Or admit that we need forgiveness? Whether we're giving or receiving, forgiveness is hard. It seems unfair. It feels unnatural. And as best-selling author and Pastor John MacArthur demonstrates, forgiveness apart from Christ is unnatural. It is only as we understand our need, Christ's power and example, and what it really means to love that we can embrace two of the most liberating acts of love: forgiving and being forgiven.

This audiobook combines a serious examination of the state of today's church and a powerful solution: reclaiming the gospel of grace found in the confessional truths of the Reformation. Though the Christian church has achieved a worldly sort of success - big numbers, big budgets, big outreaches - these are not good days for evangelicalism. Attendance is down, and it is increasingly difficult to distinguish so-called "believers" from their non-Christian neighbors - all because the gospel of grace has been neglected.

In this robust and accessible book, Scripture scholar and theologian Michael Patrick Barber provides a thorough, deeply Catholic, and deeply biblical answer.

Imagine my surprise when I got a phone call demanding to know who TF I was without so much as a hello. I hung up on the prick. A second later a woman called apologizing for him and explaining that my father was in an accident. Problem is, I've never met the man. Not only do I not know him, but I have a half-brother to boot, who is insistent that I come at once. Hopefully, the prick isn't there when I arrive. That is if I go, I haven't decided yet.
