“Este es un libro libre. Libre de prejuicios atávicos. Libre de las cadenas hetero patriarcales. Libre de la matraca del dios —sí, con minúscula— masculino que tanto daño nos ha hecho a todos. Y digo a todos porque quienes no lo notan es porque no pueden —o no quieren— abrir los ojos y mirar a la realidad a la cara: Desde las religiones —y dentro de ellas— se ha despreciado el valor intrínseco de las mujeres. Por acción o/y por omisión se las ha relegado a la función de sirvientas y no de servidoras. Se las ha culpado por su forma de vestir de provocar en sus hermanos ...

No one has more questions about God than those who know Him best. When you first become a Christian, your relationship with God begins much like entering into the small end of a funnel. Then with every step you take further toward the light of God’s presence, the more the funnel widens out and the bigger you realize He is. With every step you take closer to God, He gets two steps bigger. The funnel never stops widening out, but our minds can only expand so far. A person can know God intimately for decades yet still feel like they’ve only scratched the surface. The more you learn the ...

The saints must rise to confront the powers of darkness and even cast out evil spirits who have entered the bodies of those they can possess. Learning how to effectively pray to cast about evil spirits is a big part of what Jesus Christ has commissioned his disciples to do. Christians must become equipped in these last days to minister deliverance to those who are demonized. I have written on a wide range of topics related to spiritual warfare to help equip the saints for this spiritual warfare battle. Let us walk out the Great Commission to go into all the world and preach the Gospel, and ...

Is it possible that the largest body of Christian believers, Roman Catholics, have fallen from their place in heaven? Dark Halo takes the listener on a fantastic voyage, down the hallowed halls of St. Peters Basilica in the heart of Rome, and behind closed doors in the Vatican to reveal that the horrors and atrocities of the Roman Catholic Church have echoed down the ages, right into our modern times.

Luis de Molina's Concordia of Free Will (Parts 2 and 3) Luis de Molina’s Concordia liberi arbitrii, first published in 1588, stands as a cornerstone of 16th-century theology and philosophy, born amidst the vibrant intellectual currents of Iberian scholasticism and the Catholic response to the Reformation. This seminal work tackles the profound challenge of reconciling human free will with divine grace, foreknowledge, providence, predestination, and reprobation, sparking the intense De Auxiliis controversy within the Catholic Church. This volume presents Parts 2 and 3 of the Concordia, ...

The Bible vs. Theology not only addresses whether theology replaces the Bible, but also challenges misconceptions about unity, diversity, and divisions among Christian movements.

An Entertaining, Inspiring, and Transformational Guide for Pastors, Leaders, and Lay PersonsAfter accepting a calling as a church minister at the age of twelve, and climbing the ladder of success to become a well-respected academic scholar and spiritual leader, a recent conversation and “aha moment” planted the seed for an entertaining, inspiring, and transformational guide for pastors, church leaders, and lay persons. It was a casual remark from a mentor and a pastor who had shepherded a fledgling church into a beacon of his community. As the two discussed their ministries, sharing the...

Not all churches are created equal—some are built by men, others by the Spirit. Jesus declared, “I will build My Church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” But what kind of Church is He building? Not a dead, religious institution—but a powerful, apostolic Church marked by purpose, authority, and glory. Apostolic Church: 50 Earmarks equips you to identify the true hallmarks of the Spirit-led, apostolic Church Jesus is building in this generation. These are not traditional or ceremonial places of worship, but supernatural hubs of Kingdom transformation—bold, Spirit...

“Ron Highfield has made a significant contribution to the present-day discussion of LGBTQ+ claims by a tight focus on the work of Karen Keen. Highfield’s The Choice is a careful and erudite analysis of Keen’s work that uncovers a species of argument being offered from many quarters. First, he lays bare Keen’s postmodern substitution of feeling and rhetoric for Scripture and sound reasoning. “From the postmodern perspective,” he notes, “autobiography is argument.” In such a case, Scripture can be displaced by personal desire. Second, he skillfully explains the implications of...

What is baptism, and why is it significant? This book answers these questions by offering baptism as a life-giving prism through which we can view the entirety of our Christian experience. Far from being a staid ritual, baptism, whatever its form, gives each person, each local church, and the church as a whole a common source of identity and purpose. Drawing on a lifetime of pastoral experience and scholarship, Dr. Shoemaker explores the spectrum of meanings present in our own baptisms and offers a wealth of ideas for church leaders as they prepare times of worship centered around this ...

A. N. Wilson has been thinking about the Bible, and reading it, since he read theology for a year at university. Martin Luther King was 'reading the Bible' when he started the Civil Rights Movement. When Michelangelo painted the fresco cycles in the Sistine Chapel, he was 'reading the Bible'. In The Book of the People, A. N. Wilson explores how readers and thinkers have approached the Bible and how it might be read today.

Are We Sure We Know God? The question is sometimes answered, "Sure, I know God." And if most children were asked if they know their mommies and daddies, likewise, they might reply, "Yes." And most parents would agree that they do, but only in a child's perspective. Could that be how most of us know God? Since the Bible speaks of knowing God as essential for gaining eternal life, wouldn't it make sense to spend time getting to know Him better? Especially since God's enemy has distorted our view of Him by twisting His requirements into impossibilities.

James Spiegel never realized what challenges and adventures he would face in talking about God with his own children. In a book that is witty, warm, and profound, he explains complex issues of the Christian faith in terms that his children can understand and accept.

This short 19th-century book explores the evolution of the belief in the Devil, including historical, cultural, and religious influences. Who is this character Satan? Is he an adversary of man working on behalf of the Divine? Is he the archenemy of God, a hideous personification of the worst evil? Does the Devil truly exist, or is this a convenient way to rid humans of personal responsibility for their own evil inclinations? Revisiting the witch burnings in the Middle Ages—justified by alleged allegiance to a dark lord—the author questions the efficacy of such a belief.

At a time when divisions among the churches are subject to attack, both from within and from without, the author has felt led to write doxologies, essays, and thoughts. These words are a call to action to all true believers in the Word of God, and can only create encouragement in the body of Christ.

Obadiah is a prophecy of judgment on Edom - descendants of Esau who bore a grudge against Judah, the descendants of Jacob. The Edomites viewed all the wealth and prosperity of Judah as rightfully theirs. This centuries-old envy caused them to seek every opportunity to do harm to God’s people. St. Augustine saw in Obadiah an early example of the City of Man opposing the City of God. R. J. Rushdoony brings the conflict even closer, condemning the “spiritual Edomites” of our day who believe evildoers have the power to frustrate the progress of the Kingdom of God.

"The Spirit of Christmas" is a collection of Henry Van Dyke's thoughts on the subject. "Power corrupts itself, and might cannot save. The Earth is full of ignorant strife, and for this evil there is no cure but by the giving of greater knowledge. It is because men do not understand evil that they yield themselves to its power. Wickedness is folly in action, and injustice is the error of the blind. It is because men are ignorant that they destroy one another, and at last themselves. If there were more light in the world there would be no sorrow."
