  Does the Bible have authority in a world committed to relative truth? 
  The understanding of absolute, objective truth has been largely lost. Spend just a few minutes discussing politics or religion and you’ll hear responses like, “There is no truth!” or “That may be true for you, but not for me.” Understanding the Faith dares to wade into the middle of the controversy with chapters such as:Is God Christian?Isn’t Claiming Truth Intolerant?Is the Bible Anti-Science? 
  Summit Ministries’ half century of teaching, this first volume of the Understanding the Times Series is your definitive resource for deepening and defending your faith. It’s a required resource for every Christian’s bookshelf.

  “Gay Witchcraft is an opportunity for queer Witches to claim our rightful place in our own magical practices without sacrificing who we truly are, as well as just being a solid introductory book on the Craft. . . . For queer Witches of all stripes, this is our history, these are our stories, and this is something for us to treasure.” —from the foreword by Storm Faerywolf   When Christopher Penczak was introduced to Witchcraft, he found a spiritual path through which he could honor and embrace his homosexuality. In Gay Witchcraft, Penczak’s clearheaded theory and practice combine to create a classic book of Witchcraft focused on the perspective of the gay community.   Penczak’s writing has made it much easier for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and queer people interested in practicing any form of Witchcraft. His willingness to share his own personal journey and the foundations that made the Craft accessible allows readers to find their own ways of practice. This book explores the history of Paganism and offers a compendium of spells, meditations, ceremonies, and affirmations that will enrich both the novice and the experienced practitioner seeking out new views of myth, ritual, and healing.  This new Weiser Classics edition replaces a previously published edition. The Weiser Classics series offers essential works and foundational texts from renowned authors and spiritual teachers, as well as introductory guides on an array of topics by contemporary writers and practitioners.   Weiser Books, esoteric and occult teachings since 1957.

  In early 2022, esteemed New Testament scholar Richard Bauckham nearly lost his ability to read--an alarming prospect for a man who considers reading, writing, and scholarly work to be his vocation from God. Despite it being one of the most difficult times of his life, it was also a period in which Bauckham felt closest to God. 
   
  In this beautifully written book, Bauckham combines memoir, theological and biblical reflection, and poetry to offer profound insight into God's providence amid life's difficulties. He discusses relevant aspects of his earlier life, delves into the time when his eyesight began to deteriorate, and reflects on issues that arose during that period. The book also includes generous amounts of Bauckham's own poetry. 
   
  Throughout his experience, Bauckham maintained a close relationship with God and drew nearer to him. His journey with God during this time led him to contemplate God's purpose for his life and how he can live in a way that reflects his overwhelming sense of gratitude. He shares his story as a way of encouraging others in their own unique walk with God.

  Doctrines of Demons

  What does the Bible have to say about the End Times? Matthew’s Gospel records the warning of Jesus where he said, "Take heed that no one deceives you." The apostle Paul expands on this by stating, "Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons." Satan often relies on deception through disinformation. Misinformation is defined an accidental untruth where disinformation is the intentional misrepresentation of the truth. Therefore, doctrines of demons are creeds that offer counterfeit truths. What are these "doctrines of demons" that the Bible warns us about? Is there "another Jesus" being accepted by many within the world today? Is there "another Spirit" working in the world today?
