**Self-Crucifixion Take Up Your Cross** What does it truly mean to follow Christ? In a world that promotes self-fulfillment and personal comfort, Jesus gives a radically different command: deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow Him. *Self-Crucifixion Take Up Your Cross* is a bold, uncompromising call to **dying to self** and mortifying the deeds of the body so that Christ may fully reign within. This book confronts the root of spiritual defeat—carnality. Many believers struggle not because God has failed them, but because the flesh has never been nailed to the cross. The Apostle ...

Terry Parkman, DMin, recognizes the opportunity within the chaos. With today’s cultural, technological, and spiritual paradigms shifting faster than ever, this moment demands more than a few tweaks.

«Ochenta y seis años le sirvo, y en nada me ha hecho daño. ¿Cómo puedo blasfemar a mi rey que me salvó?» La Epístola y Martirio de Policarpo reúne dos textos fundamentales del cristianismo primitivo: la Epístola a los filipenses, escrita por el propio Policarpo, y el Martirio de Policarpo, redactado por la Iglesia de Esmirna tras su muerte en la hoguera hacia mediados del siglo II.

El Concilio Ecuménico Vaticano II es el acontecimiento más importante de la Iglesia Católica en el siglo XX. Fue iniciado por Juan XXIII el 11 de Octubre de 1962 y clausurado por Pablo VI el 8 de diciembre de 1965. A pesar de las expectativas y esperanzas de muchos, la época que siguió a ese gran acontecimiento no representó para la Iglesia una “primavera” sino, como el mismo Pablo VI y sus sucesores reconocieron, un periodo de crisis y dificultades sin precedentes, especialmente en los ámbitos doctrinal y litúrgico. Tras el Concilio Vaticano II se abrió una viva discusión ...

In this disturbing exposé, journalist Paul L. Williams describes a secret alliance forged at the close of World War II by the CIA, the Sicilian and US mafias, and the Vatican to thwart the possibility of a Communist invasion of Europe. Williams presents evidence suggesting the existence, in many European countries, of "stay-behind" units consisting of 5,000 to 15,000 military operatives.

Often seen as the author of timeless Christian theology, Paul himself heatedly maintained that he lived and worked in history's closing hours. His letters propel his listeners into two ancient worlds, one Jewish, one pagan. The first was incandescent with apocalyptic hopes, expecting God through his messiah to fulfill his ancient promises of redemption to Israel. The second teemed with ancient actors, not only human but also divine: angry superhuman forces, jealous demons, and hostile cosmic gods.

Many evangelicals today are aching for theological rootedness often found in other Christian traditions. Modern evangelicalism is not known for drawing from church history to inform views on the Christian life, which can lead to a "me and my Bible" approach to theology. But this book aims to show how Protestantism offers the theological depth so many desire without the need for abandoning a distinctly evangelical identity. By focusing on particular doctrines and neglected theologians, this book shows how evangelicals can draw from the past to meet the challenges of the present.

In Shepherd: Becoming a Leader Worth Following, pastor and field guide Scott Johnson invites listeners to rediscover biblical leadership that feels both ancient and urgently needed today.

In You Must Confess My Name Before the People, Antony Hylton tells the remarkable story of three generations of the Hauge family and their lasting impact on Norway. The journey begins with Hans Nielsen Hauge, the farmer-preacher from Tune whose spiritual awakening in 1796 launched one of the most powerful revival movements in Norwegian history. He walked across the nation, preached to ordinary people, published widely, founded businesses, and endured years of imprisonment without formal trial. But this book goes further than the founder alone. It traces how Hauge’s legacy continued ...

Pablo Tac (1822-1841) was Luiseño Indian. He was born and raised at Mission San Luis Rey de Francia, located in present-day Oceanside, California. At the age of ten, he left the Mission with Father Peyrí, O.F.M., and another young neophyte boy, Agapito Amamix. Their destination was Rome. On September 23, 1834, Pablo and Agapito enrolled at the Urban College.

What happens when a brilliant mind decides that God can be defined with exact precision? What begins as theology quickly becomes something far more explosive—a battle over language, logic, power, and the limits of human understanding. Eunomius for Beginners opens the door to one of the most daring and controversial voices in early Christian history, a man whose confidence in reason forced the ancient Church to answer questions it could not ignore. Eunomius was no minor footnote. He was a theological provocateur whose ideas stirred some of the greatest Christian thinkers of the fourth ...
