  One God. Three Persons. But how? 
   
  · Discover the incredible true story of how Christians came to understand the doctrine of the Trinity 
  · Understand the Nicene Creed as a beautiful and balanced confession of our faith 
  · From a dynamic writer and respected professor 
   
  Christians believe in the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. One God in three persons. Yet many would be hard-pressed to explain why they believe this, or even where it might be found in Scripture. In engaging, accessible prose, The Story of the Trinity relates the settings, characters, and conflicts that led to the Council of Nicaea and the creation of the Nicene Creed, a simple yet beautiful statement of faith that expresses core Christian beliefs that continue to be affirmed worldwide.  
   
  Rather than getting bogged down in dry semantics, Bryan M. Litfin recounts the dynamic story of how the one God revealed himself as triune in both the Old and New Testaments, unfolding this core doctrine of the church so that it not only makes sense, but brings glory to God and expresses the true nature of the gospel.

  "Refreshingly unstuffy. It's a glorious gift to get to sit at the feet of a brilliant theological scholar who has the tender heart of a pastor. The Story of the Trinity is that kind of experience."--Lisa Harper, bestselling author, speaker, and host of the Back Porch Theology podcast 
   
  "A masterclass in distilling biblical, theological, and historical content into an engaging and enjoyable narrative of cosmic proportions. Skeptics and believers alike will profit from Litfin's charm and sagacity."--Coleman M. Ford, PhD, assistant professor of humanities, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary 
   
  "Highly recommended. How encouraging to observe such a rigorous study from a well-known evangelical theologian!"--Patrick Henry Reardon, senior editor, Touchstone: A Journal of Mere Christianity

  The Necessity Of Atheism

  Atheism, in the broadest sense, is an absence of belief in the existence of deities. Less broadly, atheism is a rejection of the belief that any deities exist. In an even narrower sense, atheism is specifically the position that there are no deities. Atheism is contrasted with theism, which in its most general form is the belief that at least one deity exists. 
  The first individuals to identify themselves as atheists lived in the 18th century during the Age of Enlightenment. The French Revolution noted for its "unprecedented atheism", witnessed the first significant political movement in history to advocate for the supremacy of human reason. In 1967, Albania declared itself the first official atheist country according to its policy of state Marxism. 
   
  Arguments for atheism range from philosophical to social and historical approaches. Rationales for not believing in deities include the lack of evidence, the problem of evil, the argument from inconsistent revelations, the rejection of concepts that cannot be falsified, and the argument from nonbelief. Nonbelievers contend that atheism is a more parsimonious position than theism and that everyone is born without a belief in deities; therefore, they argue that the burden of proof lies not on the atheist to disprove the existence of gods but on the theist to provide a rationale for theism. Although some atheists have adopted secular philosophies (e.g. secular humanism), there is no ideology or code of conduct to which all atheists adhere.

  Exactly How It's `Posed to Be

  From the moment Glen Russell stepped onto the campus of Winton College, one of the nation’s most prestigious Historically Black Colleges, not a single thing has gone right. From rain on move-in day, to the should’ve-predicted-it-but-somehow-didn’t tardiness of his best friend and ride to Winton, Reshard, to multiple uses of “Gilbert,” his real (and very much hated) first name, Glen’s first day at college is nothing like he planned. To top it all off, a computer glitch forces him into a dorm room with an unexpected pair of roommates for the entire semester— 
  Braylon Davis - along with keeping his weight in check, he can’t wait to get involved with a campus ministry and use his musical talents to impact Winton students for Jesus.  
  Grayson Stewart - a first-Gen college student determined to make his mother proud, while also hooking up with as many little “shawties” as possible. (“Mama ain’t got to know about that part!”) 
  The three couldn’t be more dissimilar. One is fighting to put an end to his hidden virginity, while one proudly wears his own as a badge of honor. And the third…well, his enviable exploits might get him killed! As the scholastic and social expectations of college begin to collide, the three handle things differently, making choices that ultimately lead to powerful, life-altering consequences.  
  “An excellent and entertaining story…that will undoubtedly leave a mark on anyone who cracks open these pages.” Without preaching or finger pointing, Exactly How It’s `Posed to Be challenges today’s “do whatever feels good” lifestyle of casual, uncommitted sexual hook ups with God’s plan to wait until marriage for sex and experience the true peace, joy, commitment, and love He intended.

  Alive with Spirits - The Path...

  At the root of most spiritual traditions is the aspiration to realize one's birthright: the intimate connection with the land and the spiritual energies that inhabit it. This connection with the land and its spirits is perhaps nowhere more powerfully felt than in the various traditions of paganism and witchcraft. But the conditions of modern society strain that relationship, leaving us feeling disconnected to our craft and unable to feel that deep and vital connection. 
   
   
   
  In Alive with Spirits, which is based on Althaea Sebastiani's popular online course, you'll discover a path to fully embrace a world filled with spirits, communion with the land, and a greater sense of belonging in the world—a worldview known as animism. You'll explore animism in a hands-on way that teaches through firsthand direct experiences. Through embodied exercises based in wholeness, you'll learn to see the world more fully for what it is and to better understand your place in it. 
   
   
   
  Alive with Spirits will provide you with a firm foundation from which to transform your witchcraft practice, rooting it into the land and in strong, respectful relationships with the spirits around you.
