Today's Most Troubling Trends about Faith and Culture in America
We live in a tumultuous time. Upheavals and reversals in culture, popular opinion, morality, race relations, socioeconomic status, and so much more have entire generations feeling off balance or out of touch. How do we keep pace with the breathtaking rate of change in our society when we can hardly find time to keep up with our racing newsfeeds? And in the face of such enormous cultural forces, is there anything we can do to help shape our culture?
With America at the Crossroads, bestselling author and cultural analyst George Barna turns his researcher's eye on the most significant trends of our moment in history, compiling and distilling the most salient information for busy readers who want to shape culture rather than allow it to shape them. Anyone who has felt overwhelmed by our swiftly changing times will appreciate Barna's extensive research and his "bottom line" approach.
Writing over 240 books and guides, Andrew Murray is perhaps one of the most important religious leaders and writers of all time. His teachings helped countless people turn to Christ and renounce their sinful lives.
Anyone wishing to deepen their relationship with the Holy Lord up in the Heavens will surely want to read this wonderful book about what it really means to be a disciple of God. Murray masterfully manages to show unbelievers how they can turn from a life of crime and sin to change forever.
The happy life cannot be lived unless one trusts his soul to Jesus. Jesus saves, and anyone finding the true path and residing in Christ will be rewarded with eternal life. Murray also gives valuable lessons concerning humility and the role it plays in the lives of Christians. A true Christian will not prize earthly possessions as they are not needed in the afterlife. The Believer will only treasure the spiritual power and strength that is given by the Lord and the Holy Spirit. Only they can give the believer the strength to win over evil forces.
Murray also makes a good job in explaining what our world is confronting with as well as offering advice as to how to deal with various problems encountered by the pious. He also recommends people to trust in their prayers more, as only through sincere and total dedication can they obtain the answers they are looking for.
This book will show anyone how to live a happy and fulfilling life on earth, while enjoying the presence of God each day. The Deeper Christian Life will show people how to walk with Christ and achieve redemption at the end of days.
Two millennia ago, the Son of God promised to return. In 1984, that promise was fulfilled. You may have even passed Him on the street and not been aware of it. Of course, you probably thought you had more important things to do than look for the Savior. Now, as you read an eyewitness account of the Second Coming, you realize just how wrong you were. Don't worry, there is still time. But I wouldn't delay, because it is your immortal soul that is at stake. Jesus Christ wants to change your life. He thinks you are worth saving. So, why do you keep trying to prove Him wrong? The choice is yours alone. You can either join the parade or you can stay on the sidelines and watch salvation pass you by.
The popular preacher and public intellectual Lillian Daniel continues to take on the "Spiritual but Not Religious" individuals and shows Christians how to reach them.
Sloppy talk about Christianity has become an acceptable prejudice. TIRED OF APOLOGIZING FOR A CHURCH I DON'T BELONG TO provides humorous yet knowledgeable commentary on the way religion is talked about today. Daniel explains Christian ideas and practices in non-academic, yet non-facile terms. In her signature style, she outlines four types of non-church-goers: no-longer, no-way, never-have, not-yet. With experiential insight from over a decade as a pastor, she explains how churches of all denominations and doctrines can provide them enlightened rigor, reasons for belief, and authentic religious community. No one should have to check their brain at the door of the church, she says, and churches must deal with present-day issues and be intellectually open, inviting people to bring questions, rather than dispensing old, easy answers.

From the New York Times bestselling author of Dinner with a Perfect Stranger, Open will forever change the way you think about faith.
It wasn't the end of the world. It was just the end of Emma Jameson's world. Fresh off the heels of a devastating breakup and floundering in her career, Emma is struggling to come to grips with why God allows so much pain in our lives, why he seems so absent when she needs him most, and why the Gospel accounts-our supposed guide for how to lead a contented Christian life-feel so completely irrelevant.
Then one day a mysterious envelope arrives in Emma's mailbox with the word open written on the outside. Inside the envelope is a card bearing the following message: "For a real adventure with Jesus, go through the nearest open door."
Skeptical, but having absolutely nothing to lose, Emma steps through the pantry door, only to find herself instantly transported back to the first century, where she is taken on a personal tour of various Gospel accounts by none other than Jesus himself-an experience that radically challenges Emma's perception of the Gospels and what it really means to be a Christian.
Christmas. It brings sleigh bells ringing and carolers singing. And sometimes it brings heartache and hurt feelings. If you could use some true Christmas this Christmas, join Max Lucado as he unpacks the enduring promises of Christmas and discovers a lifetime of hope because of one baby born in Bethlehem.
After the conversion of St. Paul on the road to Damascus, the dramatic conversion of St. Augustine as he himself tells it in hisConfessions is the most significant conversion story in Christian history.Augustine's experience speaks to his dilemma that many people have understood when counting the cost of converting to Christ. He had come to intellectual certainty about the truth of Christianity but he could not embrace it in faith. The way of the savior attracted me greatly, he wrote, but I was reluctant to pass through the straight and narrow gateI was weak and chose the easier way, and for this single reason my whole life was one of inner turbulence and listless indecision. I had found the pearl of great price; but I hesitated to sell all that I had to buy it.After a monumental struggle not unlike Jacob wrestling with the Angel Augustine hears the voice of a child chanting over and over again take up and readI snatched up the apostle's book, opened it and read the paragraph on which my eyes first fellAt that moment there was infused in my heart the light of full certainty and all the gloom of doubt vanished away.

In Plum Village, the practice of chanting in English is a flower, slowly blossoming. The chants and music on this CD are some of the first petals to open on this beautiful flower. Chanted by the resident community of Plum Village in 2002, these recordings include most of the chants contained in Chanting from the Heart, with live tracks from a monastic ordination ceremony and a traditional incense offering chanted by Thich Nhat Hanh in Vietnamese.
"The Ten Gates," with Brother Phap Hai, is taken from a 12-week course: Dharma from Deer Park Monastery, a meditation practice center in the tradition of the Vietnamese Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh.
