  Finding Our Way Home

  $19.99

  In an age when Christianity has been corrupted and co-opted by cultural forces and personal agendas, pastor and theologian Glenn Packiam shows how an ancient Creed can save the modern church–and might just save your faith.

  The Church today has lost its way. We’ve pursued the wrong priorities, put our hope in personalities, and elevated popularity over spiritual maturity. And it’s not just the Church that’s lost; we are too. As culture wars rage and competing voices argue, many Christians are left asking a basic question, What’s a Christian, anyway?

  But there’s hope. The church has been here before, and our spiritual ancestors crafted a powerful resource to help us find our way: the Nicene Creed. Readers who take this journey with Packiam will:

  *discover how the Creed–born in an ancient time of controversy, confusion, and disunity much like today–is not just a statement of beliefs, but a rope to lead us home;

  *experience an invitation into the mystery and wonder of God through these ancient words; and

  *rediscover a path to becoming faithful witnesses to the way of Jesus as we learn to live into the Creed’s beautiful story, stunning hope, and powerful vision of what a Christian is.

  The world yearns for Christ’s joy, peace, and hope, but the gospel is only believable if Christians live like it’s true. Join this adventure into the heart of authentic Christianity, and rediscover for yourself the fresh, timeless power of our Creed, returning to the living heart of what it means to be a Christian.

  Faith And Science

  $21.99

  In Faith and Science: A Primer for a Hypernatural World, Kenneth Keathley argues that, rather than acting as opposing forces, scientific inquiry and the Christian faith go hand-in-hand.

  In his mission to offer a fully integrated theology of science, Keathley begins with the Lordship of Christ and the sufficiency of Scripture. He characterizes the study of science as a providential gift and a worthy vocation with Christian origins. Keathley then examines the twin challenges of scientism and fideism, observing their deficiencies as comprehensive worldviews. After defending Galileo as a scientist-theologian, Keathley offers readers a model for how to integrate their Christian faith with their scientific pursuits.

  Faith and Science provides a ready primer for students and everyday Christians to challenge their preconceptions about faith and science and to develop a more robust worldview to guide their examinations of our hypernatural world.

  The Christ in Everything series exists to demonstrate how Christ is connected to all of life. The primers in this series serve as introductions to important cultural topics, including science, freedom, politics, beauty, and the nature of truth. Each book offers a biblical and theological framework from which to view and approach the topic at hand, followed by examples for how to walk in the way of Jesus in that cultural domain.

  Crisis Of Civil Law

  $22.99

  How should Christians think about law?

  In every age, this is one of the most difficult questions faced by followers of Christ. Within the modern church, there is little unity on how Scripture addresses issues like gun control, abortion, and disobedience of an unjust law. In The Crisis of Civil Law, legal scholar Benjamin B. Saunders draws from Scripture and Christian tradition to provide valuable guidance on contemporary legal questions and the role of civil government. We can gain greater clarity by wisely applying the moral law found in Scripture–as well as the universal standards of the natural law–to the changing circumstances of human societies.

  The Crisis of Civil Law includes detailed discussion of the biblical material on law as well as practical case studies that contextualize scriptural principles in modern Western society.

  How Should We Then Die

  $18.99

  “My times are in thy hand.”

  *Explains why physician-assisted death is attractive
  *Makes a case for the value of life and wrongness of killing
  *Argues from general revelation and Scripture
  *Helps Christians undercut the logic of euthanasia

  As more people accept the practice of physician-assisted death, Christians must decide whether to embrace or oppose it. Is it ethical for physicians to assist patients in hastening their own death? Should Christians who are facing death accept the offer of an assisted death?

  In How Should We then Die?, physician Ewan Goligher draws from general revelation and Scripture to persuade and equip Christians to oppose physician-assisted death. Euthanasia presumes what it is like to be dead. But for Christians, death is not the end. Christ Jesus has destroyed death and brought life and immortality through the gospel.

  Myth And Meaning In Jordan Peterson

  $18.99

  Popular philosopher Jordan Peterson has captured the imagination of Western world.

  For some, Peterson represents all that is wrong with patriarchal culture; for others, he is the Canadian academic prophet who has come to save civilization from dizzying confusion. Regardless of how one feels about him, his influence in North America–and beyond–is difficult to deny.

  While the “Peterson phenomenon” has motivated numerous articles and responses, much of what has been written is either excessively fawning or overly critical. Little has been produced that explores Peterson’s thought–especially his immensely popular 12 Rules for Life–within the context of his overall context and scholarly output. How is one to understand the ascendency of Jordan Peterson and why he’s become so popular? Does his earlier Maps of Meaning shed light on how one might understand his worldwide bestseller, 12 Rules for Life?In Myth and Meaning in Jordan Peterson, scholars across various disciplines explore various aspects of Jordan Peterson’s thought from a Christian perspective. Both critical and charitable, sober-minded and generous, this collection of ten essays is a key resource for those looking to faithfully engage with Jordan Peterson’s thought.

  Rich Christians In An Age Of Hunger

  $19.99

  Do you want to make a true difference in the world? Dr. Ron Sider does. He has, since before he first published Rich Christians in an Age of Hunger in 1978. Despite a dramatic reduction in world hunger since then, 34,000 children still die daily of starvation and preventable disease, and 1.3 billion people, worldwide, remain in abject poverty. So, the professor of theology went back to re-examine the issues by twenty-first century standards. Finding that Conservatives blame morally reprehensible individual choices, and Liberals blame constrictive social and economic policy, Dr. Sider finds himself agreeing with both sides. In this new look at an age-old problem, he offers not only a detailed explanation of the causes, but also a comprehensive series of practical solutions, in the hopes that Christians like him will choose to make a difference.
