Author(s): Michael A. G. Haykin, Brian Croft, & James B. Carroll
Publisher: Christian Focus Publications
Price: $2.99       (June 6-7)

Friendship is a need that touches the deepest parts of the human soul. This is especially true in ministry. It is a need that is not simply rooted in enjoyment and companionship, but in the necessity to care well of one’s soul and survive a long–term ministry. This book seeks to persuade every modern pastor of the essential need of friendship. And not just any friendship, but a close, personal, intimate, and sacrificial pastor–to–pastor friendship that regularly turns each other’s gaze to Jesus.

Friends and pastors, Michael Haykin, Brian Croft and James Carroll examine portraits of friendship in scripture and church history, before exhorting readers to modern pastoral friendships.

Biblical Interpretation Hijacked
Discover the Hidden Battle Behind How We Read the Bible

For centuries, the integrity of Scripture has been under siege—not by skeptics alone, but by interpreters who twist its meaning.

This groundbreaking work by Norman Mathers reveals:

The Origins of Allegorical Interpretation and why it undermines the plain sense of Scripture.
How Church Fathers, Medieval Scholastics, and Modern Thinkers paved the way for subjective readings.

Publisher: Moody Publishers
Price: $2.99       (Ends Feb 28)

Should Christians support the modern state of Israel?
How should we view Israel, the Jewish people, and the church?
What makes Israel so special?

Israel and the Jewish people always seem to be in the headlines. Terrorism. War. Antisemitism on university campuses and around the globe. Jews are the topics of conversation in podcasts, on school campuses, and in our homes. Yet Christians are wondering about the modern State of Israel and contemporary Jewish people. Are they related to the biblical kingdom of Israel and the ancient Jewish people of the Scriptures? Others question whether Jewish people are only God’s people of yesterday, or do they have an ongoing place in God’s plan? How does the Church relate to the Jewish people and (more…)

How the Jesuits Influenced Dispensationalism

Discover the Jesuit Roots of Dispensationalism

In How the Jesuits Influenced Dispensationalism, Virgil A. Walker uncovers the fascinating history of how Catholic Counter-Reformation theology shaped modern Protestant eschatology. This meticulously researched book explores how Jesuit scholars like Francisco Ribera and Robert Bellarmine developed Futurist eschatology to defend the Papacy against Protestant accusations, only for these ideas to be later adopted and transformed by Protestant thinkers such as Edward Irving and John Nelson Darby, leading to the rise of dispensationalism—a framework that has profoundly influenced contemporary evangelical theology, culture, and politics.

One in a Million: Journey to Your Promised Land

Author(s): Priscilla Shirer
Publisher: B&H Books
Price: $4.99       (July 8 Only)

The Egyptians in Exodus 1 were intent on enslaving the Israelites, wearing them down so that God’s chosen people would become disillusioned and not live up to their destiny. Of the original two million Israelites who received God’s invitation to enter the Promised Land, only two actually entered it!

Similarly, modern day Christians often hear and understand the promises of God each Sunday morning at church but then rarely choose to experience them in everyday life. In One in a Million, Bible teacher Priscilla Shirer invites us to change that pattern for good, living beyond our circumstances and expecting to see God move in miraculous ways day after day. Without a doubt, we can find and follow God’s purpose for our journey. We can make it to the Promised Land!
