Of all the questions that have been asked, "What is love?" has to be one of the most important. Among other things in his new book, Dr. Michael Eaton answers this critical question for the crucible of his own painful experiences. Here is a man who has been flung out of the frying pan, emerged from the fire, and lives today to offer deep insight into the many complexities of love, not the least of which is its five-fold nature. Eaton relies not only on the scalped of his own pain but also on scripture to dissect the universal phenomenon of love, and he has put his finger on the crux of the ...

Amado Nervo (1870–1919) was a Mexican poet generally considered the most distinguished exponent of the literary movement known as Modernismo. Although he intended to become a priest, he abandoned his studies in 1888 and turned first to journalism and then the diplomatic service, becoming Mexican Ambassador to Argentina and Uruguay in 1918. His poetic and literary works have been collected in twenty-nine volumes. This translation has sought to reproduce the plain, rhymed forms of Nervo’s poems to convey the direct, yet complex, ideas of faith and doubt of the original texts. Nervo ...

To most, the term “Christian horror” probably seems like an oxymoron. Nevertheless, there are very good arguments to be made that “horror” is an eminently biblical genre and that Christian artists should be at the forefront of reclaiming it. In this work, novelist and freelance writer Mike Duran explores the Judeo-Christian roots of contemporary horror, the religious themes that frame much of the horror art, and how evangelical culture has come to distance itself from such a potentially rich and powerful medium.

C.S. Lewis’s dazzling allegory about heaven and hell – and the chasm fixed between them – is one of his most brilliantly imaginative tales, as he takes issue with the ideas in William Blake’s ‘The Marriage of Heaven and Hell’. In a dream, the narrator boards a bus on a drizzly...

The Book of Ruth Decoded removes that barrier, presenting every verse alongside a clear, modern English translation so you can listen to it it, understand it, and decide what it means to you.
