Why Jesus?
Ravi Zacharias
We are facing one of the greatest crises in the history of religion. Truth is being cast aside in the name of tolerance and cultural relativism, all
under the guise of a New Spirituality. Having become accustomed to abundance and the bliss of multiple choices, we now have a spiritual supermarket
before us from which we may select whatever form of spirituality we desire. But tragically we often choose without knowing how to make a distinction
between truth and falsehood. In this brilliant and compelling critique of the dangers of the New Spirituality, Christian apologist Ravi Zacharias
applies some vigorous therapy to counter this assault on rational thought and shows why the uniqueness of Jesus matters. Contemporary Christians and
the spiritually interested in particular need to know why the New Spirituality ideas, presented by such popular celebrities as Oprah Winfrey and
Deepak Chopra, attract, and how Jesus alone provides a guide through this perplexing welter of beliefs, lifestyles, hopes, and aspirations.
Ideas have profound consequences. This informative and intriguing work provides a compelling argument for anyone looking for the truth about the New
Spirituality and who Jesus really is, and why it should matter.

the collapse of the global economy? That God is now sending a prophetic message on which America’s future hangs? Before its end as a nation, there
appeared in ancient Israel a series of specific omens and signs warning of destruction--these same Nine Harbingers are now manifesting in America with
profound ramifications for America’s future and end-time prophesy.Hidden in an ancient biblical verse from the book of Isaiah, the mysteries revealed
in The Harbinger are so precise that they foretell recent American events down to the exact days: the 3000 year old mystery that revealed the exact
date of the stock market collapse of 2008...the ancient prophesy that was proclaimed from the floor of the US Senate and then came true: and more.
The revelations are so specific that even the most hardened skeptic will find it hard to put down. Though it sounds like the plot of a Hollywood
thriller - it’s real.Written in riveting narrative style, The Harbinger opens with the appearance of a man burdened with a series of messages he has
received in the form of nine seals. Each seal unveils a prophetic mystery concerning America and its future that takes you on an amazing journey
that will change the way you see the world forever.

An Act Of God?
Erwin Lutzer
Tornadoes, Tsunamis, Earthquakes, Hurricanes. Why does God allow such disasters to happen? Our hearts ache when we remember the hundreds of
thousands of people left homeless and without hope when Hurricane Katrina crashed against the Gulf coast. Or the staggering death toll in Japan
after the island’s earthquake and tsunami swept away entire villages. Whether we see the devastating accounts of natural disasters in the news or
personally face a catastrophe, we find ourselves asking, are these truly the acts of a loving and compassionate God? In An Act of God? (an updated
edition of the previously published Where Was God?), pastor and bestselling author Erwin W. Lutzer tackles this tough subject head-on, offering real
answers as well as comfort and hope to those who struggle with challenges to their faith. In doing so , he addresses the questions we all ask,
including Does God care about what happens in this world? Do natural disaster mean God is angry with us? Can we still trust God? What, if anything,
can we say to those who are suffering? If you’ve ever felt helpless and confused by the horrors of natural disasters, devastation, or loss, step
inside these pages where you’ll get to know the real face of God-- and find the answers to some of life’s most difficult questions.

The Rage Against God
Peter Hitchens
Here, for the first time, Peter Hitchens, brother of prominent atheist Christopher Hitchens,
chronicles his personal journey through disbelief into a committed Christian faith. With unflinching
openness and intellectual honesty, Hitchens describes the personal loss and philosophical
curiosity that led him to burn his Bible at prep school and embrace atheism in its place.
With first-hand insight into the blurring of the line between politics and the Church, Hitchens
reveals the reasons why an honest assessment of atheism cannot sustain disbelief in God. In the
process, he provides hope for all believers who, in the words of T S Eliot, may discover "the
end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time."

I Am A Follower
Leonard Sweet
"Follow Me." These two words echo the heart-defining call of our Lord Jesus Christ to his disciples.Sadly, this life-changing invitation has lost much
of its original meaning. Immersed in a society that worships success, we have succumbed to a trendy fixation with leadership. In I Am a Follower,
author Leonard Sweet explains how Christians in a twenty-first-cenlury corporate-obsessed culture have shifted away from a Jesus art of following
toward a popularized form ofleading. Through a colorful melange of practical applications, imaginative metaphors, and probing biblical exposition
based in gospel truth, Sweet reveals that the summons of Jesus and the message of the New Testament point clearly to an emphasis not on imitation but
on incarnation, not on leading but on following. Join Sweet on an exciting and intentional journey from leadership cult to followership culture.
Discover for yourself the way, the truth, and the abundant life of following Jesus Christ and what it truly means to "Follow Me!"

Mere Apologetics
Alistair E.McGrath
Throughout history there have been great and articulate defenders of the faith. But with the new challenges of scientific atheism we see in our day,
there is a need for a fresh and flexible approach to apologetics. Rather than supplying the fine detail of every apologetic issue in order to win
arguments, Mere Apologetics teaches a method that appeals not only to the mind but also to the heart and the imagination. After discussing the
biblical basis for and historical uses of apologetics, McGrath offers various approaches to sharing your faith with others. He outlines pointers to
faith, such as our innate sense oflonging for justice, our appreciation for beauty, the order we see in the physical world, and much more. He also
shows how there are many right ways to share your faith - through explanations, arguments,stories, and images - and helps you decide which works best
for your personality and your audience. "Apologetics is not to be seen as a defensive and hostile reaction against the world," says McGrath, "but as
a welcome opportunity to exhibit, celebrate, and display the treasure chest of the Christian faith." If you long to commend your faith to those
outside the church, Mere Apologetics will show you how to do so gracefully and effectively.

Every Body Matters
Gary Thomas
Physical fitness, offered to God:pursued with God, has enormous spiritual, emotional,and physical benefits. Every Body Matters explores the spiritual
stakes behind the very physical battle of eating and exercise and offers a fresh perspective and renewed motivation for making some major changes.
Just as Sacred Marriage has changed the way the contemporary church thinks about marriage. so Every Body Matters will transform the way you look at
body care and discipline. Steering clear of judgment and criticism, author Gary Thomas keeps the focus of this important discussion on the positive
impact physical fitness can have on your spiritual and emotional growth. Using the engaging stories of everyday people, Thomas illustrates how
becoming physically fit can lead to: increased sensitivity to God's voice, renewed energy for God's work, greater joy for living, a fortified soul
better able and more willing to serve and love others. The goal in this pursuit is not sculpting thinner or more athletic-looking bodies. The goal
is to cultivate stronger, well-nourished bodies that are primed to become, in the words of the Apostle Paul "instruments for special purposes, made
holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work."By looking at your body as an instrument rather than an ornament, you'll find new and
compelling motivation to embrace the kind of active lifestyle that fortifies your soul.

Love Out Loud
Joyce Meyer
"If you had to choose a single verse in the Bible as formula for successful living, Luke 10:27 would be the one to live by," says Joyce Meyer. It
comes down to this: love God, yourself, and others. ,Many Christians get mixed up about what love really is. They know they should love God and others, but
But don't understand that loving yourself is one-third of God's equation. Instead, they mistakenly think of it as being selfish or egotistical.
In LOVE OUT LOUD, these daily devotionals will help you walk through the process of learning to love God with your whole heart, which will then help
you love yourself in a balanced, healthy way. And as you do, you will be able to really love others the way
God does. It's a winning combination that will fulfill you for the rest of your life!

Comparing the Qur'an and the Bible
Rick Richter
In our multicultural world, Christians and Muslims will inevitably meet, work with, and live near each other. We hear bits and pieces about what
Muslims believe, but is it all true? What does the Qur'an really say about things like Jesus, war, and non-Muslims? What does the Bible say? If
we are to engage in informed, loving conversation with Muslims, we need to be equipped with more than the often-specious talking points we glean
from the news or email forwards. Comparing the Qur'an and the Bible offers an unprecedented collection of passages and doctrines of both faiths
presented side by side for easy study and comparison, covering such key issues as : Jesus, jihad, ransom for sin / sacrifice, grace, rebirth,
Lord God / Allah , women, marriage and divorce, homosexuality, suicide, Paradise,and judgment. Islam is one of the fastest-growing faiths in the
world. For anyone who wants to engage in an informed, loving conversation with Muslims, this book is an indispensible collection of accurate,
understandable information taken directly from the primary source books of both faiths.

The Well
Mark Hall
Are you parched? Longing for something satisfying and eternal? Using the powerful story of the Samaritan woman at the well found in the gospel of John,
The Well is an inspiring look at the real reason that even the most charmed of lives are empty when they lack the one element that makes us whole.
Grammy Award-winning singer and songwriter Mark Hall uses gripping, often personal stories - his lifelong struggle with dyslexia, his success in the
music industry, the adoption of his Chinese daughter - to illustrate how the "dry holes" of accomplishments, possesions, relationships, and many of
the other goals we work toward can never fully satisfy us. According to Hall, their rewards are temporary and often divert us from God's offer of
abundant. refreshing, sustaining life. Conversational in tone, sometimes humorous, and always compelling, The Well will engage you, make you think,
and leave you thirsting for a dip into the one true well.

All Is Grace

On April 27, 1934, a little boy was born who grew up to become a vagabond evangelist in patchwork pants, fiercely daring us to believe a line too
good to be true: God loves you as you are and not as you should be. His name is Brennan Manning. He has boldly preached of a love of Jesus vast,
unmeasured, boundless, and free. And he has faithfully pointed to a tender, elemental fury that blows where it wills - in a word, grace.
But before the fame of his ragamuffin gospel, Brennan Manning was a son, brother, soldier, journalist, priest, husband, father, and friend. This is
that part of the story, a necessary piece of the larger puzzle of grace. These pages tell the story of a man whose name has not always been Brennan.

leaned to the south. On the seventy-eight floor of the World Trade Center's north tower, no alarms sounded, and no one had information about what had
happened at 8:46 a.m. on September 11, 2001 - what should have been a normal workday for thousands of people. All that was known to the people inside
was what they could see out the windows: smoke and fire and millions of pieces of burning paper and other debris fal1ing through the air. Blind since
birth, Michael couldn't see a thing, but he could hear the sounds of shattering glass, falling debris, and terrified people flooding around him and
his guide dog, Roselle. However, Roselle sat calmly beside him. lnthat moment, Michael chose to trust Roselle's judgment and not to panic. They are a
team. Thunder Dog allows you entry into the isolated, fume-lined chamber of stairwell B to experience survival through the eyes of a blind man and his
beloved guide dog. Live each moment from the second a Boeing 767 hits the north tower, to the harrowing stairwell escape, to dodging death a second
time as both towers fold into the earth. It's the 9/11 story that will forever change your spirit and your perspective. Thunder Dog illuminates
Hingson's lifelong determination to achieve parity in a sighted world, and how the rare trust between a man and his guide dog can inspire an unshakable
faith in each one of us.

Living Beyond Your Feelings
Joyce Meyer
Although feelings can be very strong and demanding, we do not have to let them rule our lives. We can learn to manage our emotions rather than allowing
them to manage us. If we have to wait to see how we feel before we know we can enjoy the day, then we are giving feelings control over us.
But thankfully we have free will and can make decisions that are not based on feelings. If we are willing to make right choices regardless of how we
feel, God will always be faithful to give us the strength to do so. If you are ready to master your emotions, this book is for you.
I believe I will be able to help you understand some of your feelings, but understanding them is not nearly as important as controlling them.
Make a decision that you will no longer let your feelings control you.

translation. No matter how you say it, your message won't go through. You think to yourself, "What is the problem? Why can't they understand what I'm
saying? It's like someone flipped the "off switch" in their brain!" Despite the best efforts of professors and social activists over the last several

Has God Spoken
Hank Hanegraaff
Join best-selling author Hank Hanegraaff for a stirring defense of the Bible as the Word of God and your only reliable foundation for life. In
answering the riveting question, "Has God spoken?", Hanegraaff uses manuscript evidence, archeology, predictive prophecy, and much more to memorably
demonstrate that the Bible is divine rather than merely human in origin. Hanegraaff demolishes modern objections to Scripture, such as: There are more
mistakes in manuscript copies of the Bible than there are words in the New Testament. The biblical account of King David is no more factual than
tales of King Arthur - there simply is no evidence in archeology or history for Israel's quintessential king. Contemporary prophets are proven 100
percent wrong, 100 percent of the time, and biblical prophets are just as unreliable.Has God Spoken? joins its predecessors - "The Face That
Demonstrates the Farce of Evolution" and "Resurrection" -as Hanegraaff's final book in a trilogy that provides complete and compelling answers to the
most critical issues facing Christians today.

Aaron has changed and the determined new farmhand his parents love like a daughter. Her influence on Aaron's parents could ruin his plans to escape
the burdens of farming and build a new life. Can Aaron and Sylvia find common ground? Or will their unflinching efforts' toward opposite goals blur
the bigger picture - one revealing the path to forgiveness, glimpses of grace, and the promise of love?

Jesus, My Father, the CIA, and Me
Ian Morgan Cron
When I first discovered the grainy picture in my mother's desk - me as a towheaded two year old sitting in what I remember was a salmon-orange-stained
lifeboat - I was overwhelmed by the feeling that the boy in the boat was not waving and laughing at the person snapping the photo as much as he was
frantically trying to get the attention of the man I am today. The boy was beckoning me to join him on a voyage through the harrowing straits of
memory. He was gambling that if we survived the passage, we might discover an ocean where the past would become the wind at our back rather than a
driving gale to the nose of our boat. This book is the record of that voyage.

What often is perceived as the Christian life is, in many ways, not what the Bible teaches. Are you really living the Christian life as Jesus meant
for you to live it? If your Christian experience feels dull and unfulfilling, then it's time to seriously examine Jesus' teachings regarding
discipleship. Evangelist Greg Laurie calls all christians back to radical New Testament living in his latest offering, Let God Change Your Life. The
blueprint is simple: Get to know Jesus, follow His plan for discipleship, and share God's truth with others. Laurie expands on these three key aspects
of following Christ:How to Know God - and how He will change your life. Discipleship - the commitment, the cost, and the spiritual growth. Making Him
Known - sharing the gospel and making disciples. Let God Change your Life is a bold challenge to Christians everywhere to rethink their lives in
terms of radical New Testament living, All Christians - not just pastors, evangelists, or missionaries - have a part to play.

Response Able
Matthew Hagee
What if the churches of America could feed every hungry person in their cities? What if we had the resources to educate every child in an environment
where respect for God was encouraged? What if we could help create jobs that empowered people and gave everyone the opportunity to give back in the
same way that they had received? As a pastor, Matt Hagee recognizes that there are things in our world that need changing, and, like many younger
Christians, he wants to be a part of the solution. In addition, Matt has received a rich legacy from his father-pastor and best-selling author John
Hagee- that includes experiential wisdom rooted in solid biblical principles. In Response-Able he combines the passion of youth with the wisdom of
his father's experience to provide both the inspiration and the steps for a lasting change in five key areas. You can make a difference if you will
become personally committed to doing so. No matter who you are, where you come from, or what you are going through, the time has come for a
turnaround, and being "response-able" begins with you.

To Be Perfectly Honest
Phil Callaway
Veteran author and speaker Phil Callaway is no stranger to daunting challenges.He has been laughed at - repeatedly - by large crowds of people from
Halifax to Hong Kong. He fathered three children in three years, spent much of last year on airplanes built by the lowest bidder, and flipped an
out-of-control ATV, which doesn't mean he sold it for a profit. So who better than Phil Callaway to boldly accept a challenge that would make the
average person run and hide? Phil promised to tell the truth for an entire year, and he wasn't joking. Twelve months later, his journal was crammed
with successes, near-successes, and outright failures. During his year-long experiment with veracity, he made a disastrous financial investment,
fielded hundreds of intrusive questions from friends and strangers, attended a thirty-year class reunion, and waded into possibly the most
revealing-and hilarious-situations he has ever documented. Find out what happens when a follower of Jesus does his level best to always tell the
truth. There is no doubt you'll be entertained. But don't be surprised if you are left with a question: how might your life be changed if you sold
out to the truth-with no exceptions? .

The Hole In Our Gospel
Richard Stearns
What does God expect of us? Is our faith just about going to church, studying the Bible and avoiding the most serious sins - or does God expect more?
Have we embraced the whole gospel or a gospel with a hole in it? Ten years ago Rich Stearns came face-to-face with that question as he sat in a
mud hut in Rakai, Uganda, listening to the heartbreaking story of a orphaned child. Stearns' journey there took much more than a long flight to Africa.
It took answering God's call on his life, a call that tore him out of his corner office at one of America's most prestigious corporations - to walk
with the poorest of the poor in our world. This is the compelling true story of a corporate CEO who set aside worldly success for something
more significant, and discovered the full power of the gospel of Jesus Christ to change his own life. He uses his journey to demonstrate how the
gospel - the whole gospel - was always meant to be a world-changing social revolution, a revolution that begins with us.
