paperbackThe Hip-Hop Church
Connecting with the Movement Shaping Our Culture
by Efrem Smith and Phil Jackson
Foreword by Bakari Kitwana and Alton B. Pollard IIIHip-hop is here. The beats ring out in our cities. Hip-hop culture is all around us: in the clothes youth wear, in the music they listen to, in the ways they express themselves. It is the language they speak, the rhythm they move to.

paperbackIn Defense of Natural Theology
A Post-Humean Assessment
Edited by James F. Sennett and Douglas Groothuis

Are these two very different Testaments really one Bible?
