paperbackThe Unbiased Self
The Psychology of Overcoming Cognitive Bias
by Erin Devers
A Christian Perspective on Overcoming Cognitive Bias
So much human behavior can be explained by two motives: we want to be right, and we want to feel good about ourselves.

paperbackBeyond Awkward
When Talking About Jesus Is Outside Your Comfort Zone
Forge Partnership Books
by Beau Crosetto
Foreword by Dave FergusonSpoiler alert: Talking about Jesus is awkward. We love to share good news with the world. We tweet about a great new restaurant, we share pictures of our newborn child and we celebrate about receiving that sought-after promotion. We are evangelists for many great things. So why don't we do the same with Jesus? It's not hard to see that we bring our own anxieties and awkwardness into every evangelistic ...

Eight Axioms to Cultivate a Robust Faith
by Matt Tebbe and Ben Sternke

paperbackArt and the Bible
IVP Classics
by Francis A. Schaeffer
Foreword by Michael Card"The lordship of Christ should include an interest in the arts," writes Francis Schaeffer. "A Christian should use these arts to the glory of God, not just as tracts, mind you, but as things of beauty to the praise of God." Many Christians, wary of creating graven images, have steered clear of artistic creativity. But the Bible offers a robust affirmation of the arts. The human impulse to create ...
