A Holy Ambition: To Preach Where Christ Has Not Been Named (Second Revised Edition)

This vision of, and invitation to, the work of global missions challenges Christians everywhere to cultivate a holy ambition to preach Christ where he has not yet been named. DO YOU HAVE A HOLY AMBITION? The apostle Paul had a holy ambition: to preach the gospel to peoples who had never heard. He ached to proclaim Jesus where he had not yet been named. So today, missionaries cross cultures, learn languages, and pour out their lives in word and deed to break through thousands of years of darkness and the reign of Satan over a people who do not know the King of kings and the Savior of the world. Missionaries go to, and minister among, peoples who otherwise have little to no access to the saving news of Jesus's life, death, and resurrection. And since Jesus's Great Commission to make disciples of all nations is still in effect-and since there are thousands of peoples today who have never heard of him-every church should pray that God would not only make all of us evangelists among our own people, but also that he would raise up from among us missionaries to take the gospel where it has never gone before.

God Is Not Dead: What Quantum Physics Tells Us about Our Origins and How We Should Live

Move over, Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens-a highly regarded nuclear physicist enters the debate about the existence of God-and comes down on the side of the angels. Goswami's hypothesis is that quantum physics holds the key to all the unsolved mysteries of biology-the nature and origin of life, fossil gaps of evolution, why evolution proceeds from simple to complex, and why biological beings have feeling and consciousness. In God Is Not Dead, Goswami moves beyond theory and shows how a God-based science puts ethics and values where it belongs: at the center of our lives and societies. He provides a scientific model that steers between scientific materialism and religious fundamentalism; a model that has implications for how we live both individually and collectively. God is Not Dead is a fascinating tour of quantum physics, consciousness, and the existence and experience of God.

The Warrior Soul: Five Powerful Principles to Make You a Stronger Man of God

LIFE IS A BATTLE, AND WE ARE ALL SOLDIERS. We may not wear a uniform, eat in a mess hall, or dodge actual bullets for a living, but we are in a war-a very crucial one. Just walk into any room of people and you'll find immeasurable pain and wounds. On the outside we wear our camouflage well, but on the inside, deep within our own souls, we realize life is conflict. It is traceable to a single source: Satan, the adversary of our souls. Written by two US Army Green Berets, The Warrior's Soul provides a guide for how to apply the techniques of a true warrior in the spiritual realm by emphasizing five core elements: a cause greater than self-why we fight; a settled memory-the link between history and current circumstances; a personal intensity-eager for challenges and undistracted by personal issues; an unflagging optimism-an absolute commitment to never surrender; a deep camaraderie-a personal commitment to fellow warriors. True warriors are willing to stand when others bow. With this first-rate preparation for spiritual battle you can stand strong and see victory.

Man to Man: Rediscovering Masculinity in a Challenging World

Given the all-out assault on the American male in today's society, Man to Man delivers biblical solutions to make American men strong again. Masculinity in America has never been under attack the way it is today. We have reached the point where the term itself is considered toxic or offensive to many. American men are conflicted as to what their role is in society. The consistent message that has proliferated in our nation is that masculinity, by nature, is bad and is the root cause of many of the problems plaguing our society. Everything from racism to pedophilia has been blamed on 'toxic masculinity.' Some colleges and universities are now offering classes on how to overcome or be delivered from this very 'threatening' phenomenon called 'masculinity.' If men take up biblical mandates ordained by their Creator-no matter their color, nationality, station, upbringing, or education-a new vision can be cast and executed that will restore a civil and prosperous America for all.

Forty Reasons I Am a Catholic

My title explains itself. But it's misleading. There are more than forty reasons. In fact, there are at least ten to the 82nd power, which, I am told, is the number of atoms in the universe. And that's just in ordinary matter, which makes up only 4.9% of the universe, the rest being dark matter and dark energy. Each of my reasons is an independent point, so I have not organized this book by a succession of chapters or headings. After all, most people only remember a few big ideas or separate points after reading or listening to a book. I've never heard anyone say 'Oh, that was a good continuous-process-of-logically-ordered-argumentation' but I've often heard people say, 'Oh, that was a good point.' Which takes me back to my main point: 'Why are you a Catholic?' is a good question. A good question deserves a good answer. Here are forty of mine.

The Cries of Jesus from the Cross: A Fulton Sheen Anthology

As death approaches, the human heart speaks its greatest words of love to those it holds most dear. So it was with Jesus who in His final hours gave us seven last 'words' rich with spiritual meaning for every human soul. For the first time ever, Archbishop Fulton Sheen's complete writings and reflections on Christ's last words have been compiled into this one book. Sheen shows how the seven words are, in fact, a full catechism on the spiritual life. From them, you'll learn the secrets to living the Beatitudes, ways to avoid the deadly vices of anger, envy, lust, and pride, and how to cultivate the heavenly virtues of fortitude, prudence, justice, and charity. Few books are such an inspiring call to sanctity, and few books are such a spiritual powerhouse. With Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen as your guide, you'll also learn: why, during His Passion, Jesus never proclaimed his innocence; why Jesus appealed to His Father to forgive, but did not Himself forgive directly; what Jesus's third word from the Cross says about lust; why, like Jesus, the most innocent among us must suffer; why darkness covered the earth after Jesus spoke his fourth word; the seven words spoken unto Jesus while He hung on the Cross and what they reveal about the impact of Christ's Passion on your soul; and much more.
