ebookA Short History of Christian Zionism
From the Reformation to the Twenty-First Century
by Donald M. Lewis
Top World Guild Award Winner
This book is about an idea—namely, that Scripture mandates a Jewish return to the historical region of Palestine—which in turn morphed into a political movement, rallied around a popular slogan ("A country without a nation for a nation without a country"), and eventually contributed to the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948. ...

ebookIslam: A Christian Introduction
by Winfried Corduan
The world hasn't really shrunk--it just feels like it. Not all adherents of Islam live halfway around the globe. Some of them live halfway down the block.

Christian Association for Psychological Studies Books
by Fernando Garzon

At the same time, Christian counselors and psychotherapists encounter pressure (for example, from insurance companies) to demonstrate that their accommodative ...

ebookPositive Psychology in Christian Perspective
Foundations, Concepts, and Applications
Christian Association for Psychological Studies Books
by Charles Hackney
"Some theories of [psychology] are based largely on the behavior of sick and anxious people or upon the antics of captive and desperate rats. Fewer theories have been derived from the study of healthy human beings, those who strive not so much to preserve life as to make it worth living. Thus we find . . . many studies of criminals, few of law-abiders; many of fear, few of courage; ...

ebookSocial Psychology in Christian Perspective
Exploring the Human Condition
Christian Association for Psychological Studies Books

ebookThe Myth of the Non-Christian
Engaging Atheists, Nominal Christians and the Spiritual But Not Religious
by Luke Cawley
There's no such thing as a non-Christian. Somebody might self-identify as spiritual but not religious. Or they might be a practicing Hindu, Buddhist or Muslim. Or they might call themselves an atheist, freethinker or agnostic. But the one thing that people never describe themselves as is a "non-Christian." So Christians who want to "reach non-Christians" need to realize that they're not all the ...
