"You can be young, passionate about Jesus Christ, surrounded by diversity, engaged in a postmodern world, reared in evangelicalism and not be an emergent Christian. In fact, I want to argue that it would be better if you weren't." The Emergent Church is a strong voice in today's Christian community. And they're talking about good things: caring for the poor, peace for all men, loving Jesus. They're doing church a new way, not content to fit the mold. Again, all good. But there's more to the movement than that. Much more. Kevin and Ted are two guys who, demographically, should be all over this movement. But they're not. And Why We're Not Emergent gives you the solid reasons why. From both a theological and an on-the-street perspective, Kevin and Ted diagnose the emerging church. They pull apart interviews, articles, books, and blogs, helping you see for yourself what it's all about.

Will God do what He says He will do? Scripture is full of promises God has made. They are so appealing we print them on t-shirts, key chains and plaques. But, what happens when we are faced with real-life struggles, overwhelming circumstances, devastating news, or unbearable pain? Do God's promises still apply, even in our seemingly impossible situations? How can those promises help us then? This six-week study draws on the experiences of people in the Bible who discovered the power of taking God at His word. As you explore their stories you will learn how trusting God's faithfulness to do what He says will give you victory over worry, stress and fear. Designed for individuals or groups, each lesson includes commentary, life application, and questions for discussion or meditation. It is effective without homework but provides references to guide you deeper into Scripture between lessons.

Authors and researchers Ankerberg and Burroughs have written "Taking a Stand for the Bible" to help set the record straight. Along the way, they answer the most crucial questions both Christians and non-Christians are asking, including: How did we get the Bible? How accurate is the Bible? Is the Bible still relevant to today? This is an ideal resource for anyone who wants to know more about the Bible's importance in contemporary culture or who is on a serious quest for truth about the most influential book ever written. Includes exclusive interviews with some of today's top Bible scholars, including Dr. Craig Blomberg, Dr. Darrell Bock, Dr. Gary Habermas, and Dr. N.T. Wright. Together they point to remarkable and convincing evidence that affirms the Bible's integrity and reliability.
