Sinopsis

Longevity Science Backs explores the intriguing intersection of biblical accounts of extreme lifespans, particularly those of pre-flood patriarchs, and modern longevity science. It delves into whether genetics and environmental factors might explain these extended lifespans, not as literal truths, but as potential avenues for understanding the biology of aging. The book bridges the gap between biblical narrative and scientific inquiry, suggesting that ancient texts can inspire innovative research questions.

 
The book examines two key areas: the genetic basis of aging, exploring genes and pathways implicated in longevity across different species, and the environmental and lifestyle factors that could modulate genetic predispositions. For example, studies on centenarians and supercentenarians provide unique data sources.

 
It begins by providing a background on both biblical interpretations of longevity and current scientific understanding of human aging and progresses through specific examples of long-lived individuals and species, finishing with the ethical and societal implications of longevity research. This unique approach challenges the traditional separation between faith and science, suggesting a complementary approach where ancient narratives can spark innovative research questions.

 
The book adopts a balanced and objective tone, acknowledging the limitations of both scientific and biblical interpretations. By exploring potential genetic variations and environmental conditions, the book aims to inform and inspire scientific investigations into extending human lifespan and promoting healthier aging.

    In marriage, ignorance is not bliss. It's frustrating. Especially when the couple feels as if they've tried everything but nothing has changed. They have goodwill toward each other and want mutual satisfaction, but they feel stuck in a cycle of repeating the same arguments and enduring the same frustrations. They long for something to change for the better but feel in the dark about how. 
    What these couples need are "lightbulb moments"—breakthrough realizations that will change their relationship forever. In this video-based Bible study and workbook, Dr. Emerson Eggerichs—New York Times bestselling author of Love & Respect—draws on his twenty-five years of experience to reveal twelve powerful truths that will lead couples to such moments. They will discover:Each person in the marriage is not wrong, just a different shade of right, which will offer a new lens for resolving recurring conflict that many couples overlook;Their response is their responsibility, which will call them to a new understanding for what frees and empowers them to influence their spouse;The goal is mutual understanding, which reframes and clarifies what couples really need when they are attempting to be heard;Motivating is better than manipulating, which offers powerful insights into what energizes the heart of their spouse and what silently shuts it down; andFollow the Holy Word rather than Hollywood, which provides a surprising realization about the "script" they follow and whether their expectations are shaped by real love or reel love. 
    Perfect for every couple—from newlyweds to those decades in—this study offers biblically-based and practically-minded truths that will stick with couples and aid in their experience of making breakthroughs.

    For the exhausted, the hurting, and the faithful, The After Party helps reframe our political identity away from the “what” of political positions and toward the “how” being centered on Jesus.

    The After Party: Toward Better Christian Politics helps readers who feel despair about political divisiveness:Engage with others across political differencesLearn specific steps to reframe political identity outside of partisan dividesFocus on how we relate to one another as Jesus teaches before moving to the what of political topics

    It's not too late. In today's political environment, faithfulness to a biblical how of political engagement shines as a radical challenge to both the Right and the Left. If you worry about what politics is doing to your community, your family, and your own well-being, The After Party will transform your political imagination. 
    It's time for us to go beyond party politics and--as Christians--believe in the true "party" yet to come.

    Are you dying? If not, then you have not yet begun to live. The Bible teaches us that when God forgives a person by the death of Jesus Christ, He starts a process in him of dying daily putting his sinful habits to death as he lives in union with Christ. Though being born again brings fundamental changes in a person's soul, every Christian has sin remaining in him. Pastor Geoffrey Thomas explains how Christians can fight and conquer sin in their lives by the grace of Christ so that they grow to be more like Jesus, living wholeheartedly for the Lord one day at a time.

    God has provided salvation, but when does it begin? What is required of us? Can we lose it? These and other disputed questions have divided Christians for centuries. Matthew W. Bates has already shown that the gospel is about King Jesus and that faith includes allegiance. In Beyond the Salvation Wars, he unpacks additional truths from the Bible and the early church to describe how salvation happens. 
     
     
     
    Bates offers a new model, encouraging Protestants and Catholics toward long-term unity. But his proposal contains strong medicine: it doesn't sugarcoat current Protestant and Catholic errors but diagnoses with precision for the future health of the church. 
     
     
     
    By using accessible writing and stories, Bates shows what Scripture teaches about baptism, election, regeneration, assurance, and justification. A companion to his previous book, Gospel Allegiance: What Faith in Jesus Misses for Salvation in Christ, this book will appeal to those who want to discover core truths about how we are saved—for their personal journey as well as for final Christian unity.
