Since the Garden of Eden, sin has ravaged people's lives, leaving behind a plethora of troubling problems such as anxieties, fears, insecurities, confusion, unbelief, bitterness, sexual hang-ups, and even addictions. Most people look for answers in all the wrong places. They ought to look within. They ought to look at I. I is the "self-life".

Written by the same spiritual giant who composed The Pilgrim’s Progress, this historical piece of literature presents the true story, in autobiographical form, of John Bunyan’s conversion to faith. Bunyan explains his previous struggles with sin, temptation, and a conflicted conscience. He details feelings of despair and times of crippling doubt, shining light on the depths of sin that is present in this world and can be tempting to all people. This testimony serves to truly magnify how the grace of God alone saved the doomed life of this hurting sinner.

Scripture warns repeatedly of deception on a massive scale in the Last Days, so why are Christians seemingly so unconcerned? Has their access to theological information and their acceptance of orthodox doctrine caused them to believe they are impervious to being deceived? There is only one way to stay safe from the deceiver's powerful lies: We must allow the "love of the truth" to hold sway in our innermost being. Only then will we be capable of Walking in Truth in a World of Lies.

Too many Christian men start enthusiastically, then fall short. Falling short can be a public fall: Church-going husband has an affair. High-profile ministry leader gets caught in a scandal. Outspoken advocate is marred by hypocrisy. But for most men, falling short isn’t a newsworthy spectacle. It’s subtler. Closer to home. It’s floundering in the faith. This story doesn’t make headlines, but it’s far more common. Will this be your story? Whether you are young or seasoned, married or solo, spiritually fit or totally anemic, this book was written for you.

In The Saint and His Savior, you will learn how to take Jesus as your lord, friend, and guide and to build a life of true faith and sincere repentance, all on a foundation of joy. You will also learn redeeming love’s logic to propel you deep into communion and complete wholeness in him, with strength to bear the many bumps on the road to heaven.

There is perhaps no greater example of beguiling deceit in the church today than the distortions surrounding the doctrine of sin and the power of the gospel to save sinners from it. Unfortunately, when sin is whitewashed, the Savior becomes irrelevant, regeneration unnecessary, and worldliness replaces godliness. This mini-book examines these matters in the light of Scripture to help the listener better understand the mystery of the cross and people’s desperate need for renewing and sanctifying grace.

Sorrow is a familiar companion of every Christian. But for those who rest confidently in the good and perfect purposes of God, there exists an inexplicable, subjective awareness of God's all-sufficient grace - a tranquil peace impervious to circumstances that flows from the fountain of His covenantal love for those he has redeemed. The purpose of this little volume is to help believers develop a deeper understanding of this dynamic force of divine resources, one that transforms all believers at the moment of salvation and empowers them in every aspect of their life in Christ.

Ninety-plus-year-old Rubin James awakes in the hospital discovering not only has he suffered a stroke, but an inoperable brain aneurysm is bringing him to certain death. Ten-year-old Jonathan Baines has a rare form of brain cancer. Despite all the efforts of his talented doctor father, the cancer's relentless spread has not been stopped, and death appears to be just days away.

There is no greater source of joy in the life of Christians than knowing that we have been reconciled to God through faith in his Son, our Substitute and Surety, the Lord Jesus Christ. To know that our sins are forgiven and the merits of Jesus are now ours through imputation - solely as a gift of God’s grace - produces such soul-satisfying kinship with our Creator that all fears of standing before his holy tribunal evaporate like a morning mist before the sun.

As never before in American history, Christians are witnessing biblical values being replaced by laws that impose a godless, immoral, oppressive social agenda on their country. The overall disdain political and religious liberal activists have toward conservative values in general and authentic Christianity in particular has produced an ideological civil war that is raging out of control. But many people sense there’s something more sinister going on.

Many people today think the most effective means to reach this postmodern world for Christ is for the church to become more attractive and relevant to the culture. It must reinvent itself, adjust its gospel message, be less dogmatic, more therapeutic, tolerant, and entertaining. It must pander to the culture, take up its social causes, even conform to it - but never oppose it. Yet such a position is totally foreign to scripture and therefore mitigates the power and blessing of God.

We all long for “happily ever afters”. But let’s face it, life’s just not like that! Or is it? This evangelistic book takes listeners through the Easter story. Good Friday looked like a bad ending to Jesus’ story. But Easter Sunday changed everything...for everyone...for ever after! Listeners will discover how Jesus’ happy ending can be theirs too as they explore how his life, death and resurrection solve the big issues that plague humankind—sin and death.

We live in a church age of such profound apostasy that a large segment of evangelicalism is unable to biblically explain what it is to be a "Christian". This is largely due to a wholesale neglect of the doctrine of regeneration - that supernatural impartation of spiritual life to the spiritually dead that causes individuals to savingly believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and so radically transforms their natures that the very desires of their hearts and acts of their wills reflect the nature of God who has made them new creatures in Christ. This is the subject of this little book.

The purpose of this mini book is to help believers develop a deeper grasp of what it means to be "in Christ", that together we might embrace this intimate oneness more fully by faith and experience more of the confidence, power, and soul-satisfying joy of the presence of our exalted Redeemer. Charles Spurgeon said it best: "There is no joy in this world like union with Christ! The more we can feel it, the happier we are, whatever our circumstances." Through the careful exposition of relevant biblical passages regarding this subject, this little book is certain to animate this joy.

We are all prone to debilitating physical and spiritual weakness. But knowing how to find spiritual strength in those seasons of weakness - especially in the face of persecution - is elusive for most. Timothy, the apostle Paul's son in the faith, struggled with this very thing. But God revealed to him some very practical ways to tap into the resources he already possessed, bringing him much needed comfort and encouragement, while at the same time giving him power to persevere and prevail in the face of overwhelming forces of opposition.

There is perhaps no greater proof of man's innate sinfulness and hostility toward God than the staggering immorality of our culture. Most people, even many Christians, have either a distorted or a non-existent understanding of how God views his or her body, the primary focus of this book. As result, they are vulnerable to the deceptions and threats of the sexual revolutionaries. By examining and obeying God's perspective, we are equipped to navigate a culture saturated with sexual perversion and prurience, and we learn how to walk on a godly path of blessing and joy.

While there is no place in scripture where God provides any clear explanation of the origin of evil and his purposes in it, he affirms his goodness and love in virtually every segment. And when his character is properly understood, his ultimate purposes become obvious. This book helps believers rediscover these truths revealed in Scripture, that they might permeate our heart and animate our worship. Herein we can find comfort and hope in days of trouble, and glorify God come what may.
