    by Christine Yi Suh
    Series edited by Suzanne Stabile

    "How are you feeling?"

    Christine Yi Suh says that this has always been a hard question. She writes: "The more accurate question for a Four may be, 'What aren't you feeling?'

    paperback

    Give Them Christ

    Preaching His Incarnation, Crucifixion, Resurrection, Ascension and Return

    by Stephen Seamands

    Much preaching today begins with the hearer's "felt needs" and then moves to how Christianity can solve those problems. But this approach often results in trite Christologies that merely use Jesus as a means to an end or a vehicle for self-improvement. While preachers might not dispense with Christ altogether, other things subtly take center stage and become more important than Christ himself. ...

    Soul Repair

    Rebuilding Your Spiritual Life

    by Jeff VanVonderen, Dale Ryan, and Juanita Ryan

    Do you fear that God is angry with you? Do you wonder if God is really for you? if God really loves you? Deep down many of us believe that we are not good enough, and never will be good enough, to have a meaningful relationship with God. This is because we have been spiritually trained in ways that have left us with distorted and inadequate spiritualities of four different kinds:

    • abusive
    • anorexic
    • addictive
    • codependent

    Revelation

    Volume 12

    Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture

    Edited by William C. Weinrich
    General Editor Thomas C. Oden

    The Revelation to John—with its vivid images and portraits of conflict leading up to the formation of a new heaven and a new earth—was widely read, even as it was variously interpreted in the early church.

    Eyes to See

    Recognizing God's Common Grace in an Unsettled World

    by Tim Muehlhoff
    Foreword by J. P. Moreland

    When we encounter human suffering or personal tragedy, Christians and non-Christians alike utter the same refrain: Where is God? If God exists, then where in the world is he? Why doesn’t he show himself? And how can we tell if God is really working or not?

    Tim Muehlhoff gives us insight into recognizing how God is at work in the world. He unpacks the doctrine of common ...

    Christianity on Trial

    A Lawyer Examines the Christian Faith

    by W. Mark Lanier

    Does the Christian faith hold up under scrutiny? What does science tell us about the plausibility of a god? Can we trust the alleged eyewitness testimony of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus? These questions are worth investigating in order to find an answer solidified in fact and evidence. Mark Lanier, one of America's top trial lawyers, uses his experienced legal eye to examine the plausibility ...
