  • Ethics For A Brave New World Second Edition

    Original price was: $45.00.Current price is: $24.99.

    This updated and expanded second edition analyzes the current literature regarding various ethical issues. Aldous Huxley’s 1932 book Brave New World foresees a world in which technological advances have obliterated morality and freedom. John Feinberg and Paul Feinberg, in the first edition of Ethics for a Brave New World, noted how Huxley landed frighteningly close to the truth. Their book responded to ethical crises such as abortion, euthanasia, capital punishment, and genetic engineering by looking to Scripture for principles to guide us through the moral quagmires of our time. Now dramatically updated and expanded, this edition of Ethics for a Brave New World seeks to maintain the relevance, rigorous scholarship, and biblical faithfulness of the first edition. While many of the topics covered in the book remain the same, John Feinberg has revised each chapter to keep it current with contemporary trends and to respond to the most recent scholarship. There is a new chapter on stem cell research and greatly expanded material on issues such as homosexuality and genetic engineering. This important resource will be a valuable guide for students and those seeking answers to ethical dilemmas.

  • Is God On Americas Side

    Original price was: $6.99.Current price is: $5.30.

    With typical wisdom and lucidity, Lutzer addresses a fundamental question – a question begging for an answer after a frenetic election – Is God really on America’s side? To answer, the reader is carefully led through seven vital principles of a biblical understanding of judgment.
    – God can both bless and curse a nation.
    – God judges nations based on the amount of light and opportunity they are given.
    – God sometimes uses exceedingly evil nations to judge those that are less evil.
    – When God judges a nation, the righteous suffer with the wicked.
    – God’s judgments take various forms.
    – In judgment, God’s target is often His people, not just the general population.
    – God sometimes reverses intended judgments.

    Throughout, Lutzer’s insights into how Christians should view government equips them ‘to think with the Bible in one hand and a newspaper in the other.

  • How To Love Difficult People

    Original price was: $6.25.Current price is: $4.99.

    Prickly, defensive, nasty, volatile, withdrawn, miserable…aren’t there days when you feel surrounded by difficult people? How do you cope? You can try avoiding them, gossiping about them, or giving them a piece of your mind. But wait! Don’t your reactions make you hard to love too?

    William P. Smith explains that learning how to deal with difficult people starts with understanding that God’s pursuing love is not just for them; it’s for you too. You need God’s love and forgiveness just as much as they do. Knowing the love of God will change your attitude, your goals, and your actions toward the difficult people in your life.

  • Total Truth : Liberating Christianity From Its Cultural Captivity

    Original price was: $26.99.Current price is: $15.39.

    Does God belong in the public arena of politics, business, law, and education? Or is religion a private matter only–personally comforting but publicly irrelevant? In today’s cultural etiquette, it is not considered polite to mix public and private, or sacred and secular. This division is the single most potent force keeping Christianity contained in the private sphere–stripping it of its power to challenge and redeem the whole of culture. With examples from the lives of real people past and present, Nancy Pearcey shows readers how to liberate Christianity from its cultural captivity. She walks readers through practical, hands-on steps for crafting a full-orbed Christian worldview, making a passionate case that Christianity is not just religious truth but truth about total reality. Includes a study guide by the author.

    Harvest House Print On Demand Title

    Can a lesbian change? Yes says author Anne Paulk, who left her lesbian lifestyle twenty years ago as she responded to Christ’s invitation to an abundant life.

    Very early, I felt the tug of sexual attraction toward some members of my gender. I remember being both confused and excited by these feelings. After many years of having been attracted to other women, I embraced a lesbian identity and lifestyle. Later, after an encounter with God, I began my journey out of homosexuality. . .

    Restoring Sexual Identity offers answers to the difficult and often wrenching questions asked by both women desiring change and by friends and relatives of women struggling with same sex attraction.
    * Is lesbianism a genetic predisposition or is it developed during childhood?
    * Does becoming a Christian immediately eliminate all desire for members of the same sex?
    * Can a woman be a lesbian and a Christian at the same time?
    * How does childhood sexual abuse relate to the development of lesbianism?
    * What support is available for women who struggle with lesbianism?

    For every woman sexually attracted to other women, here’s another choice.

    More than any time in the past, Roman Catholic and evangelicals are working together.

    They are standing shoulder to shoulder against social evils. They are joining across denominational boundaries in renewal movements. And many evangelicals are finding the history, tradition, and grandeur of the Roman Catholic Church appealing. This newfound rapport has caused many evangelical leaders and laypeople to question the age-old disagreements that have divided Protestants and Catholics: Aren’t we all saying the same thing in a different language?

    The Roman Catholic Controversy is an absorbing look at current views of tradition and Scsripture, the Papacy, the Mass, Purgatory, indulgencies, and Marian doctrine. James White affirms that evangelicals and Catholics share common ground on some points. Yet there are crucial differences that remain regarding the Christian life-and the heart of he Gospel itself-that cannot be ignored.
