Synopsis

How the Habitat of Internet Technology Undermines Christian Wisdom
With advancements in internet technology, people can get instant answers to just about any of their questions, connect long distance with family and friends, and stay informed with events around the world in real time.
In Digital Liturgies, tech-realist Samuel D. James examines the connection between patterns in technology and human desires. Everyone longs for a glimpse of heaven; James argues they are just looking for it in the wrong place—the internet. 
This accessible book exposes 5 "digital liturgies" that prohibit people from contemplating big truths, accepting the uncomfortable, and acknowledging God as their Creator. It then calls readers to live faithfully before Christ, finding wisdom through Scripture and rest in God's perfect design. 

- A Biblical View of the Internet and Technology: Readers explore the connection between human desire, the internet, and wisdom through a Christian lens
- Great for College Students, Parents, and Pastors: This book encourages readers to live faithfully for Christ 
- Offers a Tech-Realist Perspective: Samuel D. James highlights the inherent dangers of digital technologies, offering wisdom for navigating our internet-saturated world

    What do you live for? The world’s answer is to live for yourself. But the Bible directs us to a higher pursuit: the honor of God. Apart from this central priority, even many Christians are left aimless and unmotivated. But as we realize who God is in all His holy majesty, we delight in our ultimate purpose of bringing glory to His name. In this audiobook, Rev. Grant Castleberry presents a God-centered vision for life. After surveying Scripture’s teaching on the honor of God, he hones in on the shame of sin and the grace of Jesus Christ in delivering us from dishonor. Finally, we see how the gospel motivates us to a fulfilling life of joyful reverence in our worship, our service, and the honor we give in our relationships with others.

    What is the essence of charismatic Christianity, a renewal movement that stresses the Holy Spirit's work, the church's use of spiritual gifts, and the significance of the supernatural? Helen Collins gives a novel summary explanation drawn from the spiritual gifts. Through Scripture and doctrinal reflection, she shows that charismatic spirituality is a coherent, reasonable, and rich tradition with much to offer.  
     
    Collins demonstrates how practicing spiritual gifts embodies a distinctive theology, making these practices carriers of doctrine. Using the Acts 2 narrative, she summarizes seven key emphases and associated practices: expectancy (prophecy), enchantment (miracles), encounter (healing), expression (testimony), equality (tongues), empowerment (evangelism), and enjoyment (worship). The result is a fresh introduction that is biblical, theologically robust, and practical, helping charismatic students to learn more about themselves and others to understand the movement and what it has to contribute to global theological discussions.

    "I exhort therefore, that intercessions be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty." - 1 Timothy 2This verse is the center of this fascinating, rip-roaring, family friendly, deeply Christian tale. A terrifying spin on Dickens' A Christmas Carol commissioned for the 1904 Special Christmas Issue of The Strand, it tells of Josiah McNason, “A case of a man gone wrong! A case of a human creature who has a stone in the place where his heart ought to be!—a hard, heavy stone, without a pulse of love or kindness in it! Sir Slasher believes it’s cancer. But if it is, they’ll never find it, McNason! No!—your cancer’s on the mind!”The goblin who announces this takes him on a terrifying voyage, in which he sees his fate as a goblin, watches a goblin preacher exhorting his congregation of fallen souls, travels to the bedside of a dying man he has refused to save, watches an atheist preacher spinning a newfangled 'faith' that ignores Christ's presence in the heart of Westminster Abbey, and faces the horrors of a fate that cares as little for him as he does for his fellow man.Paranormal and gothic, Christian and anti-church, fun and thoughtful, filled with hideous darkness and angelic light, this book is perfect for anyone looking for victorian-era penny dreadful drama and adventure with a solidly Christian spin.Corelli outsold AC Doyle, H. G. Wells, and Kipling combined. Critics hated her, calling her "the favourite of the common multitude", and she hated them in return. A favourite of Churchill, Queen Victoria and Gladstone, her friends included Mark Twain, Ouida, the Empress Frederick of Germany, and Tennyson. She was described as "a woman of deplorable talent who imagined that she was a genius, and was accepted as a genius by a public to whose commonplace sentimentalities and prejudices she gave a glamorous setting.

    Her family secrets. His guilt. One road trip that changes everything. 
    Raven Cunningham has built a quiet life between the shelves of a small-town bookshop, ghostwriting stories for others while hiding her own. She’s long believed her father abandoned her, until a letter from her late grandmother reveals a shocking truth. 
    Convinced the reclusive author J.C. Nevermore is her father, Raven sets out to uncover the real story. When her childhood friend Cole Walker, an Army Ranger medic wrestling with his own scars, offers to help, she’s not sure if she can trust him . . . or herself. 
    As they chase clues and revisit old memories, what begins as a search for answers becomes a journey toward something deeper. 
    Finding Forevermore is a heartfelt story about faith, family, and the kind of love that’s anchored in God’s unfailing grace.

In I Want to Trust You, But I Don't, Lysa shows you how toidentify which of the eleven relational red flags are stirring up distrust, so you can pinpoint why you're feeling uneasy;stop having more faith in your fears coming true than God coming through for you by asking crucial "what if" questions to better process your doubts;recognize when a fractured relationship can be repaired by considering a reasonable list of characteristics necessary for rebuilding trust; andunderstand the physical, emotional, and neurological impact of the betrayals you've experienced and start healing from the inside out. 
      
    In a world where so many things feel alarming, this book will give you a peace that isn't dependent on unpredictable people, circumstances, and experiences. Instead, it offers practical and biblical ways to make real progress toward healthier perspectives, relationships, and a future you can authentically look forward to.
