A Lutheran’s Case for Roman Catholicism

Theology

“Rob Koons’ masterful analysis leaves no stone unturned. It played a key role in my own journey to the Catholic Church. If you really want to understand the Catholic view of justification, and why Luther’s view falls short, read this book.”

America on Trial, Expanded Edition

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“It's become fashionable in Christian or Catholic intellectual circles to condemn the American Founding as just so much bad Enlightenment philosophy. Many young people now think our current cultural maladies are simply fruits from the original poisoned tree. Robert Reilly shows convincingly that these charges are misguided.”

Building Belief

Apologetics

“Meister offers both the tools and the method for making discussions with skeptics more fruitful.”

Evidence That Demands a Verdict

Apologetics

“I was one of countless thousands of students who benefited greatly from the original Evidence That Demands a Verdict. As a college student in the 1980s, I experienced the scholarly attacks on the trustworthiness of Scripture first hand. At the time, it wasn’t easy to find arguments from scholars defending the reliability of the Bible in a way that responded to serious academic attacks. The book introduced me to those scholars and convinced me that the death of God had been greatly exaggerated! That’s why I'm delighted that Josh and Sean McDowell have teamed up to write this new edition of Evidence for a new generation. The attacks on Christianity have gotten even more intense, but Josh and Sean more than meet the attacks. They show that you don't have to choose between faith and reason. I'm confident that their book will not only help Christians fortify their own faith, but will bring many skeptics to faith in Christ.”

Intelligent Design Uncensored

Science & Faith

“Dembski and Witt are the perfect combination. They deliver an explanation of intelligent design that is at once precise, lucid and, well, witty. Intelligent Design Uncensored shows that ID is not only intellectually serious, but intuitively compelling. ID is widely misunderstood and maligned by its critics, and sometimes hard to grasp, even by its friends. If you're wondering what all the fuss is about, read this book.”

Knowledge and Evolution

Science & Faith

“Many Catholic intellectuals glibly assume that they can integrate Darwinian theory with Catholic belief. They seem unaware of the serious philosophical and theological problems with such a strategy, as detailed by Michael Chabarek in this important book. Of course, if we knew that Darwinian theory was a true and complete account of biological origins, then Catholics would have a duty to accommodate it. But, as Chabarek shows, there is a strong scientific case against the overweening claims of Darwinism and in favor of intelligent design, its controversial alternative. Catholic theologians and philosophers who are interested in the boundaries between theology and science will have to take account of this thorough volume.”

Making Gay Okay

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Robert Reilly is to be admired for tackling such an explosive topic with reason, balance, aplomb, and moral clarity. He shows how the rationalization of homosexual behavior has worked its way into the nooks and crannies of our public life-from parenting to foreign policy-and will be our culture's undoing if the current trend is not reversed. I hope that the compelling arguments in this book can play a key role in that reversal.”

Reading Genesis Well

Science & Faith

“Every student and scholar of Scripture should read Collins’s Reading Genesis Well. It is that rare piece of biblical scholarship that manages to be thoroughly conversant in the wide-ranging scholarship relevant to its subject, while managing to be quite readable and intuitive. In the process, it offers a fresh and compelling way of reading the Bible and the opening texts of Genesis with integrity. Collins has found a way through the interpretive thicket that frustrates ordinary Christians and misleads many prominent biblical scholars. Whether you have studied the Bible for decades or just want to read it more carefully, you will benefit from this book.”

Restoring All Things

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“In a world that seems to be going to hell in a hand basket, Warren Cole Smith and John Stonestreet provide not just encouragement but a good swift kick in the pants. If we really believe that God came in Christ not just to save our souls but to restore all things in Him, then we cannot despair. No matter how hostile the world may seem to the gospel, it is still God’s world, and the Good News applies to all of it. There is no pocket of society or human existence that lies outside of God’s loving dominion. Smith and Stonestreet show how God’s people are already advancing God’s kingdom in the here and now as well as give concrete advice on how to take part. You should read this book.”

Tactics, 10th Anniversary Edition

Apologetics

“Any fool can write learned language. The vernacular is the real test.” In this book Greg Koukl passes Lewis’s test with flying colors. There are many great arguments in favor of the Christian faith, but many of them are accessible only to professional apologists and philosophers. Koukl has developed a memorable and practical way to translate these arguments so that all Christians can become winsome and persuasive persuasive apologists in everyday conversations, no matter what their day jobs. This book should be required reading for every thoughtful Christian.”

The Crucifix on Mecca's Front Porch

World Religions

“As David Pinault shows in this masterful and illuminating book, Christianity and Islam differ radically over the central figure they hold in common: Jesus Christ. Any hope for lasting peace and tolerance between Christians and Muslims, he argues, must deal with these real differences rather than wish them away.”

The Detransition Diaries

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“An indispensable exposé of one of the greatest medical scandals of all time—the ideological quackery known as 'gender affirming care'.”

The Poverty of Nations

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“There are many secular books on poverty, and there are many books on the Christian response to poverty. But Wayne Grudem, a theologian, and Barry Asmus, an economist, have done something far less common and far more valuable. They have successfully integrated Christian ethics and theology with sound economics. The result is a comprehensive and deeply satisfying synthesis. If you want to understand and help alleviate poverty, rather than merely supporting feel-good policies that may do more harm than good, you should read this book.”

The Price to Pay

History & Biography

“Joseph Fadelle's autobiography is a spiritual meditation wrapped in a captivating thriller. For those of us who think of condescending tones and social rejection as religious persecution, Fadelle has given us a glimpse of what it truly means to abandon everything for the gospel. With its contrast between harsh religious bondage and "inebriating" freedom in Christ, The Price to Pay will transform your view of the Christian life.”

The Toxic War on Masculinity

World Religions

“The Toxic War on Masculinity is the very book we need right now. The world, and far too much of the church, are confused on the question of our sexual natures in general, and manhood in particular. Nancy Pearcey provides the decisive defense of masculinity rightly understood—against distortions to the left and the right. She shows why Christianity not only gives the best account of manhood but also serves to form the sort of men the world and families need. Everyone should read—indeed, study—this book.”

Truth Matters, Life Matters More

Apologetics

“In this moving and compelling book, Hank Hanegraaff recapitulates the apologetic themes that he has spent decades honing and defending—from human origins, to the reality of the resurrection, to the reliability of Scripture. But, more than that, he shows how this vital defense of truth must be part of the larger cause of uniting our life with the life of God. This is a theme that for too long has been missed by millions of believing Christians. Hank shows, with characteristic precision, how the traditional Christian idea of ‘deification’ is not some doubtful sidelight, but represents the culmination of the Christian life, and the source of Christian unity. Whether you’ve read all of Hank’s books, or none of them, I urge you to read this one.”
