After You Believe: What The Christian Life Matters $24.99 “>>>After You Believe: Why Christian Character Matters>>> >In the tradition of his award-winning Surprised by Hope, Bishop N.T. Wright once again topples the accepted wisdom about what we think the Bible teaches. In After You Believe, he takes on the neglected question of How shall we live? Wright argues that people are so preoccupied about who gets into heaven that they forget not only that much of the New Testament is about the here and now, but also that even the passages about heaven are there to help us know how we act “here and now.” In fact, unless the we understand that much of the New Testament focuses on what kind of character we should strive for, we are doomed to get trapped in the law versus grace paradox that the church has been stuck in for centuries. By disclosing the Christian virtues that are the goals of the Christian life, Wright helps readers find new purpose and clarity for our lives today. Once again Wright takes the reader on an eye-opening journey through key biblical passages that promises radically to alter the work of the church and the direction of our lives.> >>Product Details>>Page Count: 320>Hardcover Release: 03/2010>Softcover Release: 03/13/2012>” |

The Faith : What Christians Believe Why They Believe It And Why It Matters $18.99 “Rightly understood and rightly communicated, the Christian faith is one of great joy. It is an invitation to God’s kingdom, where tears are replaced by laughter and longing hearts find their purpose and their home. This is the heart of the gospel: God’s search to reclaim us and love us as his own. But have we truly grasped this?> Those of us who have disdained Christianity as a religion of bigotry—have we repudiated the genuine article or merely demonstrated our own prejudice and ignorance?> Those of us who are Christians—have we deeply apprehended the mission of Jesus, and do our ways and character faithfully reflect his beauty? From the nature of God, to the human condition, to the work of Jesus, to God’s coming kingdom, and all that lies between, how well do we understand the foundational truths of Christianity and their implications?> The Faith is a book for our troubled times and for decades to come, for Christians and non-Christians alike. It is the most important book Chuck Colson and Harold Fickett have ever written: a thought-provoking, soul-searching, and powerful manifesto of the great, historical central truths of Christianity that have sustained believers through the centuries. Brought to immediacy with vivid, true stories, here is what Christianity is really about and why it is a religion of hope, redemption, and beauty.” |

Why Beauty Matters $11 “IN A RECENT SURVEY, 48 PERCENT OF AMERICAN WOMEN SAID THEY FELT “WHOLESALE DISPLEASURE” ABOUT THEIR BODIES. Many of the rest disliked some part of their appearance, such as their thighs, tummy, or hips. Meanwhile, most Christian women recite what they’ve been taught to believe: how you look doesn’t matter; inner beauty is what counts. The truth is, few women know what the Bible really says about beauty, so we’re at a loss when a daughter reveals an eating disorder, a friend says she hates her body, or we find ourselves anxious about another birthday or another ten pounds. Why Beauty Matters explores up-to-the-minute research that has made Newsweek headlines, delves into the breadth of biblical wisdom about beauty, and listens to real women as they struggle with the tough issues that make physical appearance one of the most important spiritual issues of our lives.” |

Why Business Matters to God: And What Still Needs to Be Fixed $20 “Jeff Van Duzer grew up thinking business was the source of much damage and evil in the world, the work of greedy capitalists polluting the environment. Thirty years later he was dean of a business school. In the course of that remarkable transformation, Van Duzer found cause for both hope and concern. He discovered many business people achieving a great deal of good for society as well as a lot of illegal and unethical behavior. Along the way he found some who thought that merely being honest and kind was what made business Christian. Others said they’d never ask pastors for business advice because they had no interest or experience in their work. After all, wasn’t “full-time Christian service” what the church was all about? This book explores the nature and meaning of doing business and finds it calls for much more than most think. Van Duzer presents a profoundly Christian approach that integrates biblical studies with the disciplines of business and economics. Looking beyond the place of ethical principles and the character of the individual, Van Duzer displays a vision of business that contributes to the very purposes of God.” |

Readers throughout the ages have been drawn to the way it honestly wrestles with the tedium of work, injustices in this life, the ravages of age, and the inevitability of death.

Ryken explores what will happen if we choose the world’s offerings instead of God’s and teaches valuable lessons about what it means to have a God-centered worldview. >Ecclesiastes is the twenty-sixth volume of the Preaching the Word series–noted for its clear exposition, readability, practical application, and unqualified commitment to biblical authority.

Why Darwin Matters (Paperback) $8.56 “Shermer is savage about the shortcomings of intelligent design and eloquent about the spirituality of science . . . An invaluable primer.”—Los Angeles Times Book Review Science is on the defensive. Half of Americans reject the theory of evolution and intelligent-design campaigns are gaining ground. Classroom by classroom, creationism is overthrowing biology. In Why Darwin Matters, bestselling author Michael Shermer decodes the scientific evidence to show that evolution is not “just a theory” and illustrates how it achieves the design of life through the bottom-up process of natural selection. Shermer, once an evangelical Christian and a creationist, argues that intelligent-design proponents are invoking a combination of bad science, political antipathy, and flawed theology. He refutes their pseudoscientific arguments and then demonstrates why conservatives and people of faith can and should embrace evolution. Cutting the politics away from the facts, Why Darwin Matters is an incisive examination of what is at stake in the debate over evolution. |

Why Christian Character Matters
Why do theists insist on taking the blue pill?
In the movie The Matrix, symbolically take the red pill meant that wanted to hear the truth, no matter how it was, and take the blue pill meant he wanted to live in ignorance, on land Never ever. I know that most theists will see this in reverse and I think the truth lies with the red pill, which means accepting God, but This is false. We currently live in the Matrix … in a world where everyone is brainwashed into believing that God exists. To take the red pill means this freedom from mental slavery. Why prefer to live in ignorance rather than reality? I suppose that most Christians are represented by the viscous character he wanted to return to the Matrix, as was low. I am happy not to be weak.
I know what you mean, my friend. I came from my security blanket, called the religion in my youth. It's a little scary to think that there are people who go through life thinking that the earth is only 6,000 years and we are all a product of incest … To Darla: When a large majority (despite decline in the majority) of the world are religious, how do you take the courage to go with the flow, to be an atheist, and follow the least Strip rotation, and hard? In fact, Christianity is only about 1 / 3 of the population. Their logic is fundamentally wrong to think there are two kinds people: Christians and non Christians. In fact, he is religious and not religious. Sell your atheism, JM Gendron.
