Summary

"Persecution Facts" offers a comprehensive exploration of religious and ideological persecution throughout human history, examining why societies consistently suppress different belief systems and their followers. The book uniquely combines historical analysis with insights from social psychology and anthropology to reveal the underlying patterns and mechanisms of persecution across civilizations.The work progresses through three interconnected sections, beginning with historical patterns of persecution from ancient times to the present. Using compelling case studies, including the Roman Empire's treatment of early Christians and the Spanish Inquisition, the book illustrates how persecution manifests through various forms of oppression. The analysis then delves into the psychological and sociopolitical factors that enable persecution, such as the human tendency to create in-group/out-group divisions and competition for social influence.Drawing from recently declassified documents, archaeological findings, and contemporary social science research, the book presents a thorough examination of how societies either perpetuate or resist persecutory behaviors. This interdisciplinary approach makes complex concepts accessible to general readers while maintaining academic rigor. The work concludes with practical insights for identifying early warning signs of persecution and promoting religious tolerance in modern society, making it particularly valuable for students, human rights practitioners, and anyone interested in understanding religious conflicts and social dynamics.

    Fervent passion for Jesus is often one of the first things to fade as we struggle through the daily grind of life, especially after grappling with disappointments and pain. Yet inherent in Jesus's call to return to our first love is his promise to help us never to lose it—to have a heart sustained in joy, delight, and passion for him all of our days. 
     
     
     
    International House of Prayer leader Dana Candler shares her own wrestle with weariness and unbelief, and reveals that a heart fully alive in Jesus is not only possible but is the promise and invitation of God's infinite grace. First Love will guide you to discover the root of a loss of fervency and live with a persistent hunger to know Jesus; successfully navigate relational pain and circumstances that have led to offense, cynicism, and bitterness; recognize distractions from the enemy and keep your love for God alive; and sustain a tender and burning heart that is unquenched in an hour of increasing darkness. 
     
     
     
    Circumstances change, life plays out, and trials come, but love for Jesus is always to remain alive and provide the fire for your daily walk. The Holy Spirit doesn't want to only maintain the passion inside of you, but to increase it!

    Practical, Biblical Advice for Effective Pastoral Leadership
    Many pastors feel torn between preaching and leading, but both responsibilities are essential. Without faithful exposition of Scripture, churches risk straying theologically. Without strong leadership, teaching lacks spiritual zeal. How can pastors find balance and steward their calling effectively?
    In The Pastor as Leader, John Currie equips pastors to be men of God who competently carry out their purpose: leading God's people through the preaching of God's word. Recognizing a common disconnect between the roles of preaching and leadership, Currie offers foundational principles for pastoring "under Christ's appointment, conformed to Christ's character, which exemplifies and implements Christ's wisdom, preached from Christ's word." By integrating two primary roles of the pastorate, readers will learn how to faithfully and confidently proclaim the Scriptures as they communicate biblical vision and strategy for the church's mission.
    
    - Encouragement and Instruction for Pastors: Biblical advice for leading the church through preaching the gospel
    - Biblical and Theological: Explores the role of a pastor by looking at the life of Jesus, the early church in Acts, and leaders throughout church history
    - Practical: Takes pastors from principles to practice, with helpful advice and reflection questions
    - A Thoughtful Gift for Working and Aspiring Pastors

    Discover how to identify the lies of postmodernism and defend biblical truth.

    There is no middle ground--no safe zone for the uncommitted in this war. The battle for truth is raging, and The Truth War will help you see:The pitfalls of postmodern thinkingWhy the Emerging Church Movement is inherently flawedPast skirmishes in the Truth War and their effect on the ChurchThe importance of truth and certainty in a postmodern societyHow to identify and address the errors and false teachings smuggled into churches 
      
    The Truth War will equip you to understand what is at stake in the war for truth, identify the lies, and defend the truth of Scripture. 
      
    "[The postmodern age] is the age of no truth, an age that has reached a point of deadly fatigue when it comes to facing the truth?a generation that no longer believes truth can be known. Dr. John MacArthur knows better, and he is armed with the courage to confront this age with a bold defense of truth. . . . His argument is compelling, his defense of truth is brilliant, and his concern for the church is evident on every page. The evangelical church desperately needs this book, and it arrives just in time." —R. Albert Mohler Jr., President, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
