On Lying

Saint Augustine

Synopsis

"On Lying" presents Saint Augustine's penetrating examination of the moral and ethical dimensions of falsehood, offering timeless insights into the complexities of truth-telling and deception. In this seminal work, Augustine delves into the profound implications of dishonesty on the individual soul and the fabric of society.

With characteristic clarity and depth, Augustine explores the roots of deceit and the consequences of deviating from the path of honesty. Drawing upon biblical teachings, philosophical reflections, and his own spiritual journey, he articulates a compelling case for the intrinsic value of truth and the corrosive nature of falsehood.

Through a series of incisive arguments and thought-provoking anecdotes, Augustine challenges readers to confront their own attitudes towards honesty and integrity. He underscores the importance of sincerity and transparency in fostering authentic relationships and nurturing the moral fiber of society.

At once philosophical and deeply practical, "On Lying" serves as a moral compass for navigating the complexities of human interaction and grappling with the ethical dilemmas of everyday life. Augustine's timeless wisdom continues to resonate across centuries, offering profound guidance to all who seek to live lives of integrity and virtue.

Janette Rallison

But when her grandfather dies, he leaves his ranch to her with one provision: she has to live on Coyote Glen and keep it profitable for a year.
Kate is used to the finer things in life, such as sleeping in past the crack of dawn and fingernails that aren’t broken.
Mucking stables, fixing fences, and avoiding being trampled by angry cows isn’t exactly how she imagined spending the next year, but her family needs the land.
She’s in over her head. However, the man who can best help—Landon—is second in line to inherit if she fails.

Forgiveness Made Easy (3rd Edition)

Dag Heward-Mills

Forgiveness can be difficult for us, as human beings! In the world, people hardly forgive. It is natural for a person not to forgive, but to seek revenge. However, when you become a new man, God expects you to forgive. Indeed, one cardinal difference between the Christian and the unbeliever is that the Christian has the ability to forgive and release the offender. A new man must be able to forgive! This book will make forgiveness easy for you to do! 
Sometimes, in remembering what somebody has done to us, we forget that we have also wronged God and man from God’s point of view, a Christian who cannot forgive is rather strange. God will forgive you if you murder, lie, fornicate, commit adultery, and practise witchcraft. However, God will not forgive you if you bear someone a grudge. That is the point at which God stops forgiving you. 
Do you want God to forgive you? Then forgive your brother! Do not allow unforgiveness in your heart to make you a wicked servant in the eyes of God. 
Bishop Dag Heward-Mills will show you, through this blessed book, how to know whether you have truly forgiven your offenders and how to be delivered from the snare of unforgiveness.

Ph.D. Dr. Thomas L. Driver

About the Book 
STW on Genesis 3: Spiritual Warfare and the Fall of Man 
From the first deception in Eden to the final victory in Revelation, the Bible shows that life is not just a series of circumstances—it is a battlefield. In this powerful and practical book, Dr. Thomas L. Driver, Ph.D., D.Min., guides readers through Scripture to reveal the reality of spiritual warfare and the believer’s authority in Christ. 
Drawing from the Genesis account of the serpent’s deception and Adam and Eve’s fall, Dr. Driver demonstrates how Satan’s tactics of accusation, temptation, and deception remain active today.  
Each chapter combines biblical interpretation with practical application, helping believers identify the enemy’s schemes in their families, workplaces, and culture—and overcome them through prayer, fasting, and the Word of God. 
This book is more than just theology; it is a call to action. Drawing from his twenty-seven years of military service and his personal transformative walk with Christ, Dr. Driver empowers readers to stand firm in the whole armor of God and live as more than conquerors.

Alien Encounter Conference

Chuck Missler, Mark Eastman

What's behind the UFO's? Are they real? Where are they from? Are they the Nephilim of ages past? What does the Bible say about them? What's their agenda for Planet Earth?

Chuck explores the Biblical relevance and disturbing agenda of the apparent extraterrestrial life forms that have been forcing themselves into our global consciousness and reveals their most disturbing agenda.
