In an era of hardening religious attitudes and explosive religious violence, this book offers a welcome antidote. Richard Holloway retells the entire history of religion - from the dawn of religious belief to the 21st century - with deepest respect and a keen commitment to accuracy. Writing for those with faith and those without, and especially for young listeners, he encourages curiosity and tolerance, accentuates nuance and mystery and calmly restores a sense of the value of faith.

God will exalt us when the time is right. We needn't try to promote ourselves; we needn't struggle for position. Let God put us where he wants us and let us be true to God. It is better for a man to be right with God, even if he holds no great earthly position. This study illustrates what Daniel did, and also what Daniel didn't do, which caught the attention of God and kings alike. Few are the men in history of Daniel's caliber, even though the principles he followed can be implemented by all. Are you ready to be a truly great man, one that will cause God and men to take notice?

In a world that seeks to destroy sexual purity, the battle for holiness has never been fiercer nor the stakes higher. Sexual immorality has devastated too many men, damaged too many families, and marred the gospel’s testimony too many times. Now is the time to prepare yourself to fight. In Fight Like a Man, Emeal “E.Z.” Zwayne presents biblical truth for combatting the enemies of purity that seek to hold you captive in sin.

Few subjects invigorated A. W. Tozer like the topic of worship. He saw it - like the church has traditionally - as the sole reason for which creation exists. Worship: The Reason We Were Created features collections from the beloved spiritual writer on this important topic. The church's current worship is emaciated; its thoughts of God are too low. Here is a compilation to raise those thoughts high once more, and provoke the church to true, spiritual worship.

In our technology-saturated, social-media-connected world, why are so many people feeling disconnected?

Have you ever wondered why certain sacred books were removed from the Bible—and what they might reveal if restored? For thousands of years, spiritual truth has been guarded, debated, and hidden. This definitive collection brings together the most mysterious and transformative religious texts ever written into a single, authoritative volume. Bridge the traditions that were long kept separate.

Why is it so difficult to talk to our closest friends about what's most important to us? Our true identity? Our hopes and dreams? Our true purpose and faith? Andy Bannister struggled with that question himself. As a twentysomething, he operated as an Undercover Christian at his job. He knew it didn't make sense, and he spent the following decades helping countless people find easy, natural ways to discuss the fundamental questions of life with the ones they love.

Perfect for small group studies, Bible study series and personal spiritual growth. Discipleship isn’t about working harder; it’s about loving deeper. Many of us began our walk with Jesus full of fire, only to be weighed down by religious pressure and the rules of ‘faith'. But what if Jesus’ Greatest Commandment–to love God, others and bring that love to the world–wasn’t intended to be a chore, but a transformation of the heart?

In the hustle and bustle of today's busy world, sometimes it's hard enough to hear yourself think, much less take a minute to stop and listen for the voice of God. But learning to recognize God's voice and the many ways in which He speaks is vital for following His plan. This devotional shows the reader through a daily reminder, how God speaks through their own thoughts and feelings, their dreams, and the words of other people.

In The Christ-Myth Theory and Its Problems, Robert M. Price, one of America's leading authorities on the Bible, demonstrates that almost the entire "biography” of Jesus is a conscious reworking of earlier literature and shares the evidence that has led him and other scholars to conclude that Christ—a partial synonym for Jesus of Nazareth—is a mythical figure.
