How the Bible has uniquely equipped the West to cultivate compassion, human rights, prosperity, and strong families
The role of the Bible in the transformation of education
How the modern literary notion of a hero has been shaped by the Bible’s archetypal protagonist
Journey with Mangalwadi as he examines the origins of a civilization’s greatness and the misguided beliefs that threaten to unravel its progress. Learn how the Bible transformed the social, political, and religious institutions that have sustained Western culture for the past millennium, and discover how secular corruption endangers the stability and longevity of Western civilization.

I Could Be Wrong, But I Doubt It
Author(s): Phil Robertson, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author Phil Robertson with Gordon Dasher
Publisher: Thomas Nelson
Price: $3.99 (Aug 9 only)

Discover how Jesus can set you free so you can live out your life with joy, peace, and eternal purpose.

Over nearly five decades of walking with God, podcaster, author, and Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson has learned a thing or two about why Jesus is the only one worth following. Of all the things we could put our trust in, only Jesus has the answers to our questions and the solutions for our problems.

Plenty of people claim to have the answers for a better life. Politicians claim they can fix our nation. Scientists and technologists trumpet the latest and greatest discoveries that’ll make everything right. Self-help gurus offer one pathway to peace after another. But it’s no secret that our world is increasingly divided and broken–and we’ve got the fear, anxiety, and hopelessness to prove it. Jesus alone can make good on the promise of lasting peace, real freedom, and life eternal.

Publisher: WaterBrook
Price: $1.99       (Ends July 30)

A call for Christians to move past the shallows of idealized beliefs and into a deeper, more vibrant, beatitude-like faith rooted in sacred practices and intimate experiences with God.

When the limits of his own faith experience left him feeling spiritually empty, Niequist determined God must have a wider vision for worship and community.

In his search, Aaron discovered that there was historical Christian precedent for enacting faith in a different way, an ancient and now future way of believing. He calls this third way “practice-based faith.”

This book is about loving one’s faith tradition and, at the same time, following the call to something deeper and richer. By adopting some new spiritual practices, it is possible to learn to swim again with (more…)

In a time of division and discord, Christians have come to be seen not as bearers of good news and love but of judgement and intolerance. How did we get here? And what can we do about it?

With a reporter’s eye and a compassionate heart, Philip Yancey—bestselling author of What’s So Amazing About Grace?—suggests practical ways in which we can live as salt and light within a society that is radically changing.

What can we learn from those who shun church but consider themselves spiritual?
How do people like artists, pilgrims, and activists model for us a more compelling path to faith than our usual concept of evangelism?
Can the good news, once spoiled, ever sound good again?
In Vanishing Grace, Yancey tackles challenging (more…)

We are at war. Not with a foreign government or domestic terrorists or a creepy new artificial intelligence hell-bent on taking over the world. No, it’s a war we feel deep inside our own chests: we are at war with lies.

The problem isn’t so much that we tell lies but that we live them. We let them into our bodies, and they sabotage our peace. All around us in the culture and deep within our own body memories are lies: deceptive ideas that wreak havoc on our emotional health and spiritual well-being, and deceptive ideas about who God is, who we are, and what the good life truly is.

The choice is not whether to fight or not fight, but whether (more…)

Author(s):

“The book of Revelation is often treated like a code to crack or a roadmap to the end of the world. Charts multiply, timelines compete, and ordinary Christians quietly back away from the only book of Scripture that explicitly promises a blessing to those who read, hear, and keep it.

The Heart of Victory: A Daily Journey Through the Book of Revelation invites you into something very different: 84 days of clear, pastoral, text‑driven readings that help you see Revelation as it was given—an unveiling of Jesus Christ for real churches in real trouble, and for believers today whose “Monday mornings” feel anything but victorious.

Structured as twelve weeks of daily devotions, this book walks passage‑by‑passage through Revelation, organized into eight major parts: Christ among His churches, the throne and the scroll, the seals and the sealed, trumpets and witness, the dragon and the beasts, bowls and Babylon, the thousand years and new creation, and finally the echoes of the Old Testament that saturate John’s vision. Each day includes a Scripture reading, a concise “Heart of Victory” statement, accessible exposition, concrete application to ordinary life, and a prayer to help you respond.
