Paul David Tripp

Bestselling Author Paul David Tripp Helps Christians Communicate Biblically in a Culture of Outrage
Digital media and technology are altering the way people act—and react—toward each other. Criticism, outrage, and controversy dominate social engagement and unfortunately many Christians have joined in the chaos. It's a troubling contrast to Jesus's words in John 13:35: "By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another."
Award-winning author Paul David Tripp instructs believers to view digital media and technology through the lens of the gospel and points them toward a biblical framework for communication. Explaining how God wants the church to engage with culture and each other, Tripp encourages Christians to think wisely about their interactions and be a beacon of light in an age of toxicity.

- A Biblical Look at Social Engagement: Discusses wholesome talk, the effects of "cancel culture," and 5 false identity temptations including attention, power, and acceptance
- Applies Scripture Practically: Gives a gospel-centered framework for navigating digital life without confusion or destructive reactivity
- Great for Pastors, Parents, and Youth Ministries: Helps readers understand who they are in Christ so they won't be swayed by a chaotic digital culture

The Lost World of the Prophets -...

John H. Walton

Being responsive to God is at the heart of prophecy. But readers of ancient prophecies and apocalyptic literature—including those in the Old Testament—can come away thoroughly perplexed. Are the prophets speaking about their own times, about our present, or about some still-unrealized future? 
 
 
 
It's common to study prophecy with a focus on the sole question of prediction and fulfillment, either for the sake of apologetics or for understanding the end times, but such an approach can fail to track with the original intent of the authors. 
 
 
 
John Walton applies his signature method to help us recover the lost world of the prophets. To read these biblical books well, we must understand: the role of the prophet, the nature of prophetic literature, the theological significance of prophecy, and how apocalyptic differs from prophecy. 
 
 
 
A fresh reading of the Old Testament text in light of the ancient Near Eastern context can open new avenues of awareness. Walton provides a clear, helpful guide to the nature of biblical prophecy and apocalyptic literature that will help readers avoid potential misuse and reclaim the message of the prophets for their lives.
