Yet rhetoric—the art of persuasion—has been largely ignored by most Christians. In this book, James Beitler seeks to renew interest ...

by Fil Anderson, Robert A. Fryling, Craig Glass, and Stephen W. Smith
Life is not a flow chart. We weren't meant to master it on our own. We weren't meant to be mastered by it either. The discussion guides in the Transformation of a Man's Heart series put us in conversation with God and with one another to see how God shapes and transforms us in the ordinary experiences of our lives. I do, therefore I am? What men do is incredibly important to them. Once they stop ...
