Sixteen-year-old runaway Sam Carter has nothing left—no family, no home, no reason to keep walking. But when he stumbles upon an old brown leather Bible in a rusted-out trailer, everything changes. Drawn to a single verse marked decades earlier, Sam begins an unexpected journey across the backroads of Texas, carrying more scars than hope and a whisper in his heart that says, I am the Way. From abandoned churches to chance encounters with strangers, Sam’s road is one of hard lessons, fragile faith, and second chances.

Martin Luther entered a monastery as a youth and as a man shattered the structure of the medieval church, speaking out against the corrupt religious practices of the time. His demand that the authority for doctrine and practice be scriptures, rather than popes or councils, echoed around the world and ignited the great Reformation. Accused of heresy and threatened with excommunication and death, Luther maintained his bold stand and refused to recant. In his crusade to eliminate religious abuses, he did more than any other man to establish the Protestant faith.

The publication of The Woman's Bible in 1895 and 1898 represented the feminist pioneer's last strike at the roots of the ideology behind her gender's subordinate role in society.

It can no longer be assumed that most people - or even most Christians - have a basic understanding of the Bible. Many don’t know the difference between the Old and New Testament, and even the more well-known biblical figures are often misunderstood. It is getting harder to talk about Jesus accurately and compellingly because listeners have no proper context with which to understand God’s story of redemption. In this basic introduction to faith, D. A. Carson takes seekers, new Christians, and small groups through the big story of scripture. He helps listeners to know what they believe and why they believe it.
