paperbackNo Argument for God
Going Beyond Reason in Conversations About Faith
by John Wilkinson
Religion is irrational! New atheists trumpet the claim loudly, so much so that it's become a sort of conventional wisdom. Professing your faith in God sounds increasingly like a confession of intellectual feebleness. Belief in God sounds as cute and quaint as it does pointless. John Wilkinson contends that the irrationality of faith is its greatest asset, because rationalism itself sets artificial ...

paperbackCat & Dog Prayer
Rethinking Our Conversations with Our Master
by Bob Sjogren and Gerald Robison

Clinging to Faith Through Doubt and Depression
by Matt Rogers
It was the perfect irony. To lose God at a missions conference. What's worse, Matt Rogers will tell you, is that it all felt like fate. Years later, even after Matt's depression subsided, the feeling of being forgotten had not left him. So he knew he had to write it down. Recounting his own experience with depression, Matt Rogers explores the question of how, in a world of suffering, we can call ...

paperbackWitness Essentials
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.
