Summary

Bible translation is not a casual enterprise because it involves bringing the life-saving Word of God to people in their own language. And selecting a Bible translation is not on the order of picking out a sweater. It's more like picking a doctor - someone you can trust. This book is about how Bible translation is done. And it commends a particular translation - the Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB) - as a trustworthy guide to what God has really said.
Available since: 03/01/2013.
Print length: 224 pages.

    Lust is a man's problem, right? Wrong. When we see lust as an exclusively male issue, it leaves Christian women with nowhere to turn when they struggle with the same things. They suffer silently and feel like they will never be free. 
     
     
     
    Jessica Harris has been there, and she has made it her mission to break the silence, banish the shame, and bring women's struggles into the light of God's grace and forgiveness. She understands that when you suffer in silence, you are building a wall of shame between yourself and God that God does not desire for you. In this authentic and honest book, she shows women a road map for restoration that answers the question "Is there grace left for me?" with a resounding and emphatic "Yes!" 
     
     
     
    For any woman who desires to escape the pull of lust, pornography, and sexual shame, this book is a refreshing drink of water that will quench the fire within and point the way toward freedom.

    Desire is a fundamental part of the human experience. It drives us to pursue goals, seek pleasure, and improve our lives. At its core, desire is neither good nor bad—it simply exists as a motivating force. However, when left unchecked or misunderstood, it can spiral into greed, addiction, and dissatisfaction. To manage our wants with wisdom, we must first understand what desire is, where it comes from, and how it influences our behavior. 
    Human beings are wired to want. From the moment we're born, we express needs—for food, comfort, attention. As we grow older, those basic needs evolve into more complex wants: a new phone, admiration from others, financial security, or the thrill of adventure. While many of these desires can serve a healthy function, they can also become excessive, pulling us away from contentment and deeper meaning. When we chase every urge without pause, we lose control over our lives. Our energy becomes scattered, our peace of mind erodes, and we find ourselves constantly seeking more, even when what we already have is enough. 
    The first key to temperance is learning to distinguish between needs and wants. Needs are essential to survival—food, water, shelter, rest. Wants, on the other hand, are often driven by emotional impulses or social expectations. We may feel we need a luxury item, a bigger house, or recognition, but these are not essential for our well-being. The trouble arises when wants disguise themselves as needs, convincing us that we cannot be happy without them. Recognizing this illusion is a crucial step in reclaiming control over our desires.

    The insurrection at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, was not a blip or an aberration. It was the logical outcome of years of a White evangelical subculture's preparation for war. Religion scholar and former insider Bradley Onishi maps the origins of White Christian nationalism and traces its offshoots in Preparing for War. 
     
     
     
    Combining his own experiences in the youth groups and prayer meetings of the 1990s with an immersive look at the steady blending of White grievance politics with evangelicalism, Onishi crafts an engrossing account of the years-long campaign of White Christian nationalism that led to January 6. How did the rise of what Onishi calls the New Religious Right, between 1960 and 2015, give birth to violent White Christian nationalism during the Trump presidency and beyond? What propelled some of the most conservative religious communities in the country—communities of which Onishi was once a part—to ignite a cold civil war? 
     
     
     
    Through chapters on White supremacy and segregationist theologies, conspiracy theories, the Christian-school movement, purity culture, and the right-wing media ecosystem, Onishi pulls back the curtain on a subculture that birthed a movement and has taken a dangerous turn.

    Do you feel stuck?   
    So many of us live stuck. Stuck in trying to seem perfect. Stuck in sadness. Stuck feeling numb. Stuck pursuing more stuff to make us happy. Stuck in something we can't even name. These stuck places often go unattended inside of us and they are shaping our lives more than we would like to think.    
    In Stuck, Bible teacher Jennie Allen shows us where we are stuck and why: We are stuck in anger because we aren't trusting God to defend us.  We are stuck in discontentment because we are looking to the wrong things for fulfillment. We are stuck in worry because we have made something other than God our idol.  We are stuck doing too much because we don't know our real purpose. We are stuck in sadness because we have wrong expectations.   
    Through deep Bible study and practical exercises, Jennie shows us how we've been trying to fix this stuck feeling with everything but God. He has a plan for these spaces inside of us, the places we feel broken, but we have to go to Him. Stuck is a journey to take an honest look at the fight going on inside, leading us to the God who has a plan to restore us. Our stuck places are the very places that make us ache for God, and we find Him waiting there for us with hope and freedom.  
    Sessions include: stuck (8:00) broken (7:00) mad (5:30) discontent (8:00) scared (9:00) overwhelmed (8:00) sad (8:30) unstuck (7:30)

    The Chabad-Lubavitch movement, one of the world's best-known Hasidic groups, is driven by the belief that we are on the verge of the messianic age. The man most recognized for the movement's success is the seventh and last Lubavitcher rebbe, Menachem Mendel Schneerson (1902–1994), believed by many of his followers to be the Messiah. 
     
     
      
    While hope of redemption has sustained the Jewish people through exile and persecution, it has also upended Jewish society with its apocalyptic and anarchic tendencies. So it is not surprising that Schneerson's messianic fervor made him one of the most controversial rabbinic leaders of the twentieth century. How did he go from being an ordinary rabbi's son in the Russian Empire to achieving status as a mystical sage? How did he revitalize a centuries-old Hasidic movement, construct an outreach empire of unprecedented scope, and earn the admiration and condemnation of political, communal, and religious leaders in America and abroad? 
     
     
      
    Ezra Glinter's deeply researched account is the first biography of Schneerson to combine a nonpartisan view of his life, work, and impact with an insider's understanding of the ideology that drove him and that continues to inspire the Chabad-Lubavitch movement today.
