The story of Catholic Emancipation begins with the Anti-Catholic Gordon Riots in 1780, fuelled by a reduction in Penal Laws against Catholics harking back to the 16th century. Fifty years later, the passing of the Emancipation Bill was hailed as a 'bloodless revolution'. Yet, had the Irish Catholics been a 'millstone', or were they the prime movers?

Religion and Nationalism has been a powerful force throughout history, shaping the destiny of nations and individuals alike. In this book, we will explore two distinct periods that witnessed the rise of the merging of religion and nationalism: Germany in 1933 and America in 2023. Although separated by nearly a century, these two cases share common themes and provide valuable insights into the motivations, dynamics, and consequences of these merging movements.

In an era marked by deep political division and societal upheaval, The Bipartisan Jesus by Dr. Robert Carter III offers a transformative exploration of how the teachings of Jesus Christ can guide America toward unity, justice, and compassion.

The Bible is full of examples of persecution for those who follow God in faithfulness and obedience. From Abel to the prophets, from John the Baptist to the disciples, the men and women who testified to the Truth endured suffering and trials for their godly witness. In the Shadow of the Cross explores suffering and persecution throughout the entire Bible, including observations and studies from nearly 200 Christian scholars, both ancient and modern. It is one of the most thorough biblical studies of persecution available today, a valuable resource for every student of the Bible.

In 2006, I was attending several week-long classes at the Spertus Institute for Jewish Learning and Leadership in Chicago. One of the classes was titled “Who is a Jew?” and was taught by my doctoral advisor, Rabbi Dr. Byron Sherwin, of blessed memory. The course discussed biblical, rabbinic, medieval, and modern perspectives on the question. As Rabbi Sherwin was accustomed to doing, he typically included unusual cases for us to consider. Decades before, a student at the Spertus Institute had stirred some controversy.

In the post-9/11 West, there is no shortage of strident voices telling us that Islam is a threat to the security, values, way of life, and even existence of the United States and Europe. In this fearless, original, and surprising book, Anne Norton demolishes the notion that there is a "clash of civilizations" between the West and Islam. What is really in question, she argues, is the West's commitment to its own ideals: to democracy and the Enlightenment trinity of liberty, equality, and fraternity.

America's engagement with the Arab world stretches back far beyond the Iraq wars. According to Milton Viorst, the current conflict is simply the latest round in a 1,400-year struggle between Christianity and Islam, in which the United States became a participant only in the last century.

A continuation of The Elijah Mandate series. Inspired by the book of Galatians, Freedom for the Chained follows Jackson Paul "J.P." Rutledge from The Elijah Mandate who is called to a rural group of believers bewitched by a distorted gospel laced with evil. The former heir apparent to his father's position as the Supreme Leader of America, J.P. once relished cleansing America from Christians who "corrupted the minds of the people." An incurable brain cancer robbed him of that inheritance. In agony, he longed for death to extinguish his misery. Instead, God intervened and J.P. embarked on a ...

Da’watul-Ameer (Invitation to Ahmadiyyat) was written in 1926, specifically addressing the Amir of Afghanistan, Amanullah Khan, who ordered the execution by stoning of three Afghan Ahmadi Muslims a couple of years earlier. Such atrocities underscored the need to refute the false allegations that had been circulating about the Ahmadiyya Muslim community. Although the specific events and the original book are now relics of the past, the book lives on as a general primer of the Ahmadiyya Muslim community's doctrinal beliefs.

Salvation , in a more technical word of understanding is the fulcrum and center of gravity that hold true christian fellowship and communion Without true salvation, the life of God cannot be experienced and shared. Thus, mere human activities and gathering cannot impact the decaying world which is the highest duty of the church of Christ on earth. So, what is Salvation and its relevance to God , man and the church is the focus of this write-up.

This book is one of a series. It discusses some of the wacky ways that Mormons avoid answering tough questions about their doctrine, beliefs, and history which were written by their own historians, prophets, and leaders that is completely baloney. It exposes what they really believe and the massive hypocrisy found in almost every Mormon, everywhere. You will find yourself laughing out loud more than once.

While the clampdown on "hate speech" continues, one group in particular has benefitted from the censorship of free speech and the muzzling of concerns: Radical Islamists. Under the guise of demanding tolerance, Islamists push their agenda and control the narrative completely free from criticism. Using terms like "hate speech" and "Islamophobe", they effectively silence opposition to their backward ways and heinous crimes, like those mass grooming gangs in the United Kingdom.

In war zones witnessing widespread conflict, what makes life at all worth living? When chaos becomes a way of life in places where religion and violence intersect, what do people hold on to? If religious belief is, as Christopher Hitchens argues, the cause of wars and genocide, then is faith the cure?

It's December 1999 and many are wracked with fear over the turning over of another new year. The year not only stands out because it is the end of a millennium and comes replete with some fancy new front digits in the form of "2000", but also has decades of baggage and propaganda that had filtered through to the public over the years. And at least one of the most infamous of doomsday scenarios that circled around the year 2000 was based on some fact.

It Shouldn’t Be in the Church offers the listener an alternative approach to understanding the true value of what a church should look and feel like.

The book examines the radical nature of Jesus’ love and explores how Christians can walk the difficult tightrope of loving like Jesus without compromising truth. This is an urgent issue, ...

We have become a nation, or nations, who have steadily moved away from seeing God as the one who can offer salvation, and have instead sought it from another source. The government. This collision between two very different entities has become more pronounced in recent times, but the reality remains. The only salvation we can achieve is through God. Godvernment: Government as God, is a new book which seeks to explain the differences between government and the Lord. It examines the history of state and church and the crisis of faith we have experienced. Written in three parts, Godvernment ...

When most of us hear the word "Auschwitz" it immediately invokes black and white, grainy footage of living skeletons, gas chambers and inhuman brutality of a level never seen since. But the thing that most people do not realize is that before the town of Auschwitz was used as a death camp, it was one of the most posh and cosmopolitan towns in all of Austria. It was a prosperous Jewish enclave known rather fondly as "Little Jerusalem".
