Many
Christian simply aren't experiencing the abundant life. A focus on doing
our duty and living by reason --when what we know trumps how we feel--can
leave us feeling dead. We need to have our passion restored in order to
live the life that Jesus came to give us In Feel, Matthew Elliott
takes a critical look at what our culture and many churches have taught
about controlling and ignoring our emotions. |

obstacles can get in the way of having a
healthy Christian faith. Some of those
obstacles are intellectual, but there are
emotional, relational and experiential ones
as well. Even theological problems can get
in the way when the very nature of faith
itself is misunderstood. J.P. Moreland and
Klaus Issler team up in this book to clear
away the barriers to faith by helping you
gain a clear grasp of what faith is,
identifying the various obstacles to it and
providing guidance for growing in your trust
in God through Jesus Christ. Book title: In

Stephen
Bloom's book, Believer's Guide to
Legal Issues is about the raging battle
between a system of Christian legal ethics
that restores relationship, values
integrity, and promotes peace, and an out of
control secular legal system that destroys
relationships, idolizes greed, and
celebrates revenge. At the heart of this
book is a comforting companion and helpful
counselor for the Christian who is
interacting in some way with the law,
perhaps feeling bewildered or overwhelmed
and, more than likely, increasingly uneasy
with how all this legal stuff fits in with
his or her Christian morals and beliefs. |

MacArthur
- A Tale of Two Sons -
The
Parable of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11-32)
has been preached from nearly every pulpit
in the world and is known by many who read
and cherish the Bible. The story is so
powerful because it presents, in clear and
inspiring terms, our struggle with sin, the
need for humble repentance, and the Father's
inexhaustible mercy and love. Unfortunately,
many Christians would say that they have
nothing new to learn from this gem of
Scripture. But in The Tale of Two
Sons, John MacArthur restores the
brilliance of this passage, giving
engrossing historical background and
unveiling a surprise ending readers have
never heard before. |

Mark
Mittelberg - Choosing Your Faith
-
In a world of
spiritual options, people constantly tell us
what to believe. Yet, while we hear these
pleas, we’re already functioning with
existing beliefs--even if they are beliefs
by default. So how do we choose what to
believe--especially in the area of faith? Do
we need to choose? In Choosing Your
Faith, Mark Mittelberg encourages us, as
Socrates does, not to lead an unexamined
life. He invites us to examine why we
believe what we believe. This examination
will resonate with Christians and seekers
alike. |

Viola
- Pagan Christianity - Have you ever
wondered why we Christians do what we do for
church every Sunday morning? Why do we
"dress up" for church? Why does
the pastor preach a sermon each week? Why do
we have pews, steeples, choirs, and
seminaries? This volume reveals the
startling truth: most of what Christians do
in present-day churches is not rooted in the
New Testament, but in pagan culture and
rituals developed long after the death of
the apostles. Coauthors Frank Viola and
George Barna support their thesis with
compelling historical evidence in the
first-ever book to document the full story
of modern Christian church practices. |
