History tells us that all civilizations progress through a sequence of nine distinct phases that begin and end with bondage. America is hardly immune to this progression. Michael Abbott, Jr. explores the collapsing cultural institutions that have ushered America within one short step of this final, tragic phase.

When the Holy Spirit rushes or rests upon someone today, all kinds of things might happen. They might speak in tongues, experience healing, cast out demons, prophesy, and much, much more. Some find themselves quite comfortable with such manifestations, while others are unsure of what to make of them - this audiobook has something to say to both sides.

In a shallow light-speed world, how can we really know and be known by another person? How do we make true friends? The Digital Age is all about change, but the need for true friendship never changes. We are designed for real engagement with others - for affirmation that goes beyond a simple "like" on social media, for connection over meals, for hope and excitement about the future. Above all, we need to be known and accepted for who we are.

In Possible, he presents clear and biblical thinking, powerful stories, and practical tools for sustainably impacting our workplaces, neighborhoods, villages, and cities. Possible is an eloquent and personal call to reconsider what it means to change ourselves so we can change the world.

Authors Craig Gross and J.R. Mahon challenge fellow Christ-followers to stop talking about being spiritual, and start being spiritual by rolling up their sleeves and serving a world desperate for the hope Christ offers.

Society has changed faster in the past hundred years than in any other period of human history. This change has profound spiritual implications that most of us are completely unaware of. In a unique way, The Last Believer exposes a conspiracy that starts from the beginning of time to the end of the world. It tells how Satan has slowly but surely groomed society to become what it is today, and how he has prepared it for the leadership of the Antichrist in the future.

In Resurrecting Justice, theologian Douglas Harink invites listeners to rediscover Romans as a treatise on justice. He traces Paul's thinking on this theme through a sequential reading of the book, finding in each passage facets of the gospel's primary claim - that God accomplishes justice in the death and resurrection of Jesus Messiah. By rendering forms of the Greek word dikaiosyne as "just" or "justice", Harink emphasizes the inseparability of personal, social, and political uprightness that was clear to Paul but is obscured in modern translations.

Increasingly, Western culture embraces confusion as a virtue and decries certainty as a sin. By accurately describing the culture of confusion and how it has affected our society, author Abdu Murray seeks to awaken Westerners to the plight in which we find ourselves. He also challenges Christians to consider how they have played a part in fostering the culture of confusion through bad arguments, unwise labeling, and emotional attacks.

We’re not good at living with tension. It’s uncomfortable. It feels unsafe. The moment a friend, spouse, business, or political movement disagrees with us, we flee to the safety of like-minded thinkers, and dehumanize and attack anyone who thinks differently. No one wins. And if someone dares question our particular stance, we demonize them. This is killing us - families, friendships, civility, and discourse. It kills our chance to hear and be heard. We must step out of our bunkers and step into no-man’s-land....

The fantasy worlds of some of our favorite books are not as far away from real life as we might think. The spiritual world of the Bible is dense. In the midst of existence is the Trinity, angels, demons, Satan, monsters, giants, supernatural gifts, the afterlife, bodily resurrection, and much more. As we gaze deeper into these biblical glimpses of the hidden world, we begin to reshape both our understanding of our everyday life and the way in which we can and should live out our faith as Christians.

Is there a type of thinking that can be characterized as Jewish? If so, what is the difference between the Jewish thought and non-Jewish thinking? Does the Bible reflect a type of thinking? Is it linear? Does it correspond to Platonic or Aristotelian thought? How does rabbinic logic work? Are there polarities in the Bible?

No one can foretell of a specific event that will occur on an exact date, hundreds of years into the future! However, scientific dating the precise day that Roman armies burned down Herod's Temple in AD 70 reveals that time-based passages accomplished this impossible feat. The oldest known copy of Daniel comes from the Dead Sea Scrolls, which scholars date to 125 BC. The most liberal view thinks that someone wrote Daniel by 165 BC. Another method shows Daniel wrote around 530 BC in Babylon. If true, these unique words foretold of the destruction 600 years into the future.

We all crave love. We try to fill the void inside with any number of poor substitutes. We seek validation from empty outlets. We're thirsty for compliments. We change who we are to impress people who aren't looking and don't care. Yet, we are still desperately searching for a love that changes everything for us, a love that doesn't fade and doesn't fail - even when we do, That's the kind of love God shows that he has for us through the remarkable story of Hosea and Gomer.

LaHaye and Hindson examine ancient Bible prophecies in light of today's news headlines and provide a panoramic survey of the final signs that will serve as God's global warning to the people of all nations. Jesus promised He would someday return to Earth to bring judgment and set up His kingdom. He even reveals specific details about what will happen.

What are those details? What can we expect? Will terrorism, nuclear threats, and the Middle East crisis have a part?

The Bible tells us that the end times will be marked with signs: social signs, physical signs, and spiritual signs. Today, many of the signs of the end times are present in our world. Due to a short-sighted approach to the study of history, many people miss the presence of the signs. The occurrences in our world appear "normal", but historically speaking, many occurrences in our world are not "normal".

A US Marine fighter pilot explores life's important questions as he prepares for combat, searches for truth, and wages spiritual warfare during his mission to become a better husband and father. Jason B. Ladd grows up in a military family with loving parents but spends his young life filled with spiritual apathy.

Jesus. Love Him or hate Him, He's everywhere. On our T-shirts, bumper stickers, and even the covers of leading news magazines, year after year. We see Him on the silver screen, in the headline crawl on the TV news, and on the homemade signs held up at ball games. Hotly debated, He remains the most conspicuous figure of all time, even 20 centuries after His inglorious death.

Have you ever been troubled after hearing the statement that Jesus only died for the elect? Ever questioned if God singled out some to save, and created others to suffer the eternal consequences of sin? Is our eternal destination predetermined? Do we not have a choice in our salvation? Many churches and ministries today teach some form of what is called Calvinism or Reformed Theology. Is this Biblical or dangerous? Looking for biblical answers? Help is on the way!
