Mended By God
$15.49
Twenty-four year old Tony Pack was an athletic man who enjoyed tennis and liked sports cars. He had many plans for his life that changed dramatically on a sunny February day in 1986. The car he was driving wrapped around a large concrete pillar. Severe head injuries plunged Tony into a coma and most doctors doubted he would survive. During his battle between life and death, his loving parents never lost hope. They believed God was in control and their son would recover.
This is an inspiring story that will be difficult to put down. Anyone who has ever faced an obstacle or walked through a dark valley will be uplifted by the faith of the Pack family. This book is ultimately about a sovereign God who molds our lives in ways we cannot predict or imagine. After reading this book, you will have a new perspective on the kind of faith that can face hardships and trials with uncommon courage.

Render Unto Caesar
$28.99Add to cartThe revered Bible scholar and author of The Historical Jesus explores the Christian culture wars–the debates over church and state–from a biblical perspective, exploring the earliest tensions evident in the New Testament, and offering a way forward for Christians today.
Leading Bible scholar John Dominic Crossan, the author of the pioneering work The Historical Jesus, provides new insight into the Christian culture wars which began in the New Testament and persist strongly today.
For decades, Americans have been divided on how Christians should relate to government and lawmakers, a dispute that has impacted every area of society and grown more rancorous over the past forty years. But as Crossan makes clear, this debate isn’t new; it can be found in the New Testament itself, most notably in the tensions between Luke-Acts and Revelations.
In the texts of Luke-Acts, Rome is considered favorably. In the book of Revelations, Rome is seen as the embodiment of evil in the world. Yet there is an alternative to these two extremes, Crossan explains. The historical Jesus and Paul, the earliest Christian teachers, were both strongly opposed to Rome, yet neither demonized the Empire.
Crossan sees in Jesus and Paul’s approach a model for Christians today that can be used to cut through the acrimony and polarization roiling our society and dividing us.

Problem Of Pain
$17.99Add to cartFor centuries Christians have been tormented by one question above all — If God is good and all-powerful, why does he allow his creatures to suffer pain? C. S. Lewis sets out to disentangle this knotty issue but wisely adds that in the end no intellectual solution can dispense with the necessity for patience and courage.
