EVERY STONE PULLED FROM THE GROUND CONFIRMS WHAT THE BIBLE ALREADY SAID. If it got the past right, with that kind of precision, then its words about the future cannot be ignored. Dinesh D'Souza first traveled to Israel in 2022. He stood at the Pool of Siloam where Jesus healed a blind man. He...

How did the shift from matriarchy to patriarchy come about? In fascinating detail, Merlin Stone tells us the story of the Goddess who reigned supreme in the Near and Middle East. Under her reign, societal roles differed markedly from those in patriarchal Judeo-Christian cultures: women bought and sold property, traded in the marketplace, and inherited title and land from their mothers.

Like a mystical tome waiting to be deciphered, a Gothic cathedral holds many secrets about Christ, the Christian life, and the soul’s yearning for God.

You own a Bible. It might even be a nice one. Leather cover. Someone's name engraved on the front. A ribbon bookmark that has never actually marked anything. And it has been sitting there. Judging you. The Bible Isn't Going to Read Itself is a no-excuse, no-jargon, surprisingly funny guide to actually opening Scripture — and understanding what you find when you do. It is for the brand-new believer who doesn't know Genesis from Revelation.

A crook on a cross. A wild man in a cemetery. A five-time divorcée. A grieving sister. A father at the end of his rope. People with questions. The Bible is absolutely full of them. Why are these portraits in the Bible? So we can look back in amazement at what Jesus did? No... these aren’t...

What if the God you think you know doesn't actually exist? Not the existence of God-but your version of Him. She leaned over in the church pew, whispering through the pain: "Am I being punished? Why won't He help me?" Those questions-raw, desperate, and completely human-lie at the heart of this book. Because how we answer them depends entirely on who we believe God is. Few people set out to believe the wrong things about God. Yet culture, personal experiences, disappointments, and even religious tradition can quietly reshape our understanding of Him.

Throughout our lives this side of Heaven, we are faced with opportunities to either cast judgement or give grace, tear someone down or help build them up, criticize others or hold our tongue, battle against flesh and blood or pursue peace.We encounter, as David did, our own "giants" which call us to be ready and equipped with the Armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-20) and to always be ready to give an account for the hope inside us (1 Peter 3:15). We are also called to provide for the needy, protect the orphan, support the widow, and be the salt and light of the earth (Matthew 5:13). Ready to ...

When we first encounter the Bible, we are taught its stories—Adam and Eve, Moses and the Red Sea, David and Goliath, Jonah and the whale, and more. When a story lacks the details we crave, we fill in the blanks—with what we've seen in movies, read in books, and been told by our Sunday school teachers. But there's a better way to encounter the whole story of Scripture: uncovering and understanding the ancient world and the people who experienced biblical events.

What if you could face your trials with confidence, trusting that God will be faithful? Are you tired of stressing out and worrying every time you face a difficult circumstance? When a hardship presents itself, do you only focus on the threat in front of you and completely forget about the God beside you? Or do you remember that He exists but doubt His faithfulness because you acutely recall times in the past when things didn't work out well—at all? Tanya Pollard has struggled with this and knows how hard it can be to trust that God is always faithful.

What started as a harmless game turned into something far more real. When a simple Christmas gift brought a spirit board into her home, Stone Green never imagined it would open the door to something she could not explain. At first, it was fun. Then it became personal. Then it became terrifying. What began as innocent curiosity quickly revealed something darker —something intelligent, something deceptive, and something that knew more than it should have. But one moment changed everything. One question. One answer. One detail she had no way of knowing. And it was correct.

What if the secret to lasting satisfaction isn't getting what you want faster, but learning to build something that lasts? In a world obsessed with instant gratification, quick fixes, and immediate results, this profound exploration reveals why choosing foundations over convenience leads to the deep, unshakeable satisfaction your soul truly craves. Drawing on Jesus' wilderness temptation, where He refused to turn stones into bread, this book unveils a life-changing principle that transforms how you approach decisions, relationships, finances, and spiritual growth.

In GOD, I Know YOU Got This, But..., we settled something a lot of us didn't want to hear: worry is a sin. Not a personality trait. Not just how you're wired. A sin — the same as any other place we've decided we don't trust God with something. Think on These Things picks up exactly where that conviction leaves off — not with more guilt, but with a plan. Rooted in Philippians 4: 8, this book walks through Paul's list of what to think on instead of worry: whatsoever things are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, of good report, virtuous, and praiseworthy.
