Clinging to Faith Through Doubt and Depression

Evangelism that Makes Disciples
The Essentials Set
by Daniel Meyer
We know the radical difference the gospel of Jesus Christ makes, and we want others to see and enjoy its benefits. In fact, we don't want them to just pray a prayer and move on to the next interesting thing. We want them to sink their roots deeply into the grace of God.

paperbackChrysostom's Devil
Demons, the Will, and Virtue in Patristic Soteriology
New Explorations in Theology
by Samantha L. Miller
For many Christians today, the notion that demons should play a role in our faith—or that they even exist—may seem dubious. But that was certainly not the case for John Chrysostom, the "golden-tongued" early church preacher and theologian who became the bishop of Constantinople near the end of the fourth century.
