What if the greatest danger facing today’s believers isn’t persecution, but compromise? In a world where moral lines are blurred, truth is traded for convenience, and faith is watered down by cultural pressure, the question is no longer whether Christians can survive—but whether they can stand with integrity. Every day, you are confronted with choices that test your convictions: decisions about relationships, money, politics, sexuality, work, technology, and faith itself. The temptation to bend the truth or blend in with the crowd feels overwhelming. Many have already surrendered ...

Reveals how faith traditions have always passed down tools for self-examination and debate, because all religious ideas—not just extremist ones—can cause harm, even as they also embody important moral teachings. Scripture’s abiding relevance can inspire great goodness, such as welcoming...

Sesenta años de una conspiración amparada por el dinero y la religión. El periodista de investigación Gareth Gore llegó a España en 2017 para informar sobre el inesperado derrumbe del Banco Popular, considerado hasta entonces como una de las entidades más rentables del mundo. Lo que había de ser una crónica más sobre las consecuencias desastrosas de una ambición capitalista desenfrenada se convirtió en el desenmascaramiento de uno de los saqueos empresariales más descarados y de mayores implicaciones de la historia.

Since its first edition in 1948, the US Conference of Catholic Bishops' Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Care Services (ERD) has guided Catholic institutions in the provision of health care. However, while the papacy of Pope Francis and the clerical sex-abuse scandal both profoundly impacted the Catholic Church, the latest edition of the ERD does not address or reflect these transformations. Now for the first time, Todd A. Salzman and Michael G. Lawler present an extended critical commentary on the 2018 ERD.

El cristiano hará bien en prepararse sobre una cuestión que no sólo niega los derechos de Dios sobre la vida y la muerte, sino que puede ir en contra de los valores y conciencias de profesionales de la salud, los pacientes y sus familias. La eutanasia genera muchos cuestionamientos ¿es ético retirar la hidratación y nutrición al paciente? ¿Puede el ordenamiento jurídico, de reciente creación, violar el centenario código deontológico médico? ¿Realmente está eximido de responsabilidad un médico que obedece la última voluntad de un paciente? ¿No se están redactando nuevas ...

Deepak Chopra’s passionate new book, Peace Is the Way, was inspired by a saying from Mahatma Gandhi: “There is no way to peace. Peace is the way.” In a world where every path to peace has proved futile, the one strategy that hasn’t been tried is the way of peace itself. “We must not...

Pharmacists who refuse to fill prescriptions for contraceptives. Surgeons who pray in the OR. Pro-life clinics and end-of-life interventions, intelligent-design activists and stem-cell-research opponents. Is this the state of modern medicine in America? In Blind Faith, Dr. Richard P. Sloan examines the fragile balance and dangerous alliance between religion and medicine - two practices that have grown disconcertingly close during the 21st century.

Infertility is the profoundly wounding experience of many couples, often leading to feelings of despair and shame as they grapple with shattered dreams and unanswered questions. But God does not leave them alone in their pain. The Creator and Redeemer of life has not forsaken the infertile, but has called and equipped them to participate in his church, kingdom, and mission.

Do you long for a life that truly makes a difference? Do you crave purpose that outlasts the moment? Hungry for a deeper impact—one that echoes into eternity? If so, this book is for you. Too many of us feel stuck, caught in the mind-numbing monotony of the everyday, wondering, “Is this all there is?” We lose heart. But deep down, we know this: We were made for more. Kim continues The Glory Series with this literary gem, Reflecting His Glory. This is a powerful invitation to a life of passion and significance.

As we enter into the debates and discussions regarding gay people, I contend that it is fear that is creating the discord. The church fears gay people. And gay people fear the church. I don’t claim to have all the answers to the myriad issues here. I do claim the way forward, the way Jesus would have us go, begins with casting out fear with love. My utmost contention is that we welcome gays into the church starting with love.

Seen as godless by the religious and weak by the atheists, secularism mostly has been misunderstood. In How to Be Secular, Berlinerblau argues for a return to America’s hard-won secular tradition; the best way to protect religious diversity and freedom lies in keeping an eye on the encroachment of each into the other. Berlinerblau passionately defends the virtues of secularism, reminds us what it is and what it can protect, and urges us to mobilize around its cause, which is for all Americans to continue to enjoy freedom for - and from - religion.

Barbara Crain Major and Joseph Barndt bring ninety combined years of experience as community organizers, teachers, and anti-racism trainers in community and church settings to this book. In Deconstructing Racism, they propose the deconstruction of racism's roots within systems and institutions that have been created, both structurally and legally, to serve white people.

La envidia es a menudo algo que señalamos en los demás, pero si nos enfrentamos a los hechos y admitimos que somos imperfectos, encontrarlos en nosotros mismos puede mejorar nuestras vidas, nuestra actitud y nuestra felicidad. Cuando descubrimos dónde están mal nuestros sentimientos, podemos tomar medidas y cambiar nuestra mentalidad. Mucha gente piensa en la envidia como un pecado contra los demás, pero en realidad, nos estamos haciendo esto a nosotros mismos. Creamos nuestra propia miseria mirando a los demás y comparándonos con ellos.

"LA HISTORIA SE REPITE PORQUE NADIE LA ESCUCHA" La influencia del posmodernismo nos ha hecho creer que el punto de tener un debate es tener un debate y luego estar de acuerdo en diferir (sentarse en una fiesta de amor de afirmación mutua). Para Trueman, el punto del debate es, como el Apóstol Pablo demuestra claramente una y otra vez en el libro de los Hechos, establecer cuál es la mejor posición. Esta colección de ensayos realiza un examen profundo del estado de la iglesia evangélica en la actualidad, y a diferencia de muchos de los debates actuales, ofrece, a la luz de las ...

In Theological Ethics: Audio Lectures, theologian, pastor, and ethicist W. Ross Hastings guides the church to think deeply and theologically about the moral formation of persons in our communities, about ethical inquiry and action, and about the tone and content of our engagement in the public...

As a lady was throwing ashes on their frozen lake, her neighbor asked: “What are you doing?” “I am putting these ashes on the ice,” she replied. “Why don’t you get your husband to do that?” he enquired. “This is my husband!” she declared! More and more people are opting for cremation. There is little doubt that cremation has become more popular in the Western countries since the mid–twentieth century. There are now around 2,000 crematoria in the United States. Combined together they perform over one million cremations each year. Most hospitals use cremation to dispose of...

How do you eliminate a half trillion annual expense in the US alone? How do you prevent capital offenses in the first place? God has the solution: we just don't like key parts of it. We shoot ourselves in the foot in order to think of ourselves as dignified and compassionate. Yet the responsibility of public stoning (with the rest of the Biblical model) is more dignified and compassionate than any alternative. Death is the most severe court judgment in the full range of Biblical justice tools, and so it deserves primary investigation.
