Happy Lies

Apologetics

“Sometimes old lies dressed up in new lingo sound like new truth, or like a new twist on old truth if baptized with biblical language. Melissa Dougherty’s Happy Lies reveals that, in spite of its cheerful face, New Thought is just an old deception—an ancient falsehood going back to the garden. Happy Lies provides a thoughtful tutorial on the origins, the teachings, and the dangers of New Thought, made completely accessible by Dougherty’s readable—sometimes whimsical—style. Dougherty’s work provides insight and instruction vital to Christians seeking to avoid the pitfalls of an old lie that continues to deceive and destroy.”

Apologetics

“What explosive event split world history in two? The stunning conclusion of this master cold-case homicide detective’s meticulous research, analysis, and deliberation will leave Christians delighted and skeptics devastated.”

Scientism and Secularism

Apologetics

“If you’ve ever been tempted to dismiss a moral, philosophical, or theological belief because you were convinced only science gives real knowledge—or if it’s been done to you—then you’ve been taken in by scientism. This popular notion has crippled the confidence of multitudes of Christians, yet in Scientism and Secularism, philosopher J. P. Moreland handily exposes it for the fraud it is. Moreland cuts through the confusion with his characteristic clarity, insight, and surgical precision, deftly refuting the notion that only science can give knowledge while all else is mere opinion, feeling, or faith. Here is Moreland doing what he does best—dispatching foolishness with careful thought and rigorous assessment. For those taken in by the silliness of scientism, this book will be an eye-opener. Moreland’s effort also serves as a tutorial in the disappearing art of clear thinking for those floundering in the murky waters of secularism.”

The Case for Life

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“No one has had a greater impact teaching me the skills of defending the precious lives of unborn children than Scott Klusendorf. He is simply a master of his craft. If you want a single tutorial giving you everything you need to help make a mother’s womb the safest place for a child to be instead of the most dangerous place, read The Case for Life.”

The Truth in True Crime

“Sometimes death instructs us deeply about life, and vice schools us painfully in virtue. In The Truth in True Crime, Wallace shares fifteen critical insights about human flourishing that he learned from years of chasing criminals and convicting killers. This latest work is a storehouse of wisdom, both life wisdom and biblical wisdom—which turn out to be the same thing. You will be the wiser for feasting on it.”

Theistic Evolution

Science & Faith

“Theistic Evolution is a carefully crafted, academically sophisticated interdisciplinary challenge to the attempt to wed Christian theism to any version of the Darwinian project. I am awed by its scope and by the magnificent success of its intentions. Whether your interest is in the scientific deficiencies, the philosophical failings, or the theological dangers of Darwinism hitched to theism, look no further than this thorough analysis. Theistic Evolution is simply the most comprehensive and convincing critique of the topic I’ve ever read—a singular resource for careful thinkers—replacing a dozen books on my shelf.”

They Like Jesus but Not the Church

Evangelism & Missions

“With insight, gentleness, and an unswerving commitment to the wisdom of the past, Dan Kimball shows us what we don’t want to see but must see if we care about the Great Commission in the twenty-first century.”

What Does the Bible Really Teach about Homosexuality?

Christian Living

“Written with the deftness, clarity, and tender grace we’ve come to expect from DeYoung, What Does the Bible Really Teach about Homosexuality? answers, point by point, the revisionist theology making inroads in even the most conservative theological circles. It is simply the very best resource any follower of Christ can have to answer the challenge of homosexuality in the church.”
