Barmen Theses Then And Now
$19.99
Applies a bold Christian stand against Nazi thinking to the issues of today
In 1934, the German Protestant Church faced strong attempts by Hitler’s Nazi regime to bring it into line with anti-Semitic and decidedly unbiblical ways of thinking. In defiant response, leaders in the church adopted the Barmen Declaration. This bold statement of dissent, grounded in the authority of Scripture, has become a powerful model for the contemporary confession of the Christian faith against modern forms of skepticism and unbelief.
Eberhard Busch here demonstrates to a new generation how the decisions of the German Protestant Church during a specific time of crisis can guide Christians today. He interprets each of the six theses in its original context – Nazi Germany – and then applies them to the cultural and political challenges facing Christianity in our time.

Women Of The Bible Speak
$25.99The women of the Bible lived timeless stories–by examining them, we can understand what it means to be a woman of faith.
People unfamiliar with Scripture often assume that women play a small, secondary role in the Bible. But in fact, they were central figures in numerous Biblical tales. It was Queen Esther’s bravery at a vital point in history which saved her entire people. The Bible contains warriors like Jael, judges like Deborah, and prophets like Miriam. The first person to witness Jesus’ resurrection was Mary Magdalene, who promptly became the first Christian evangelist, eager to share the news which would change the world forever.
In The Women of the Bible Speak, Fox News Channel’s Shannon Bream opens up the lives of sixteen of these Biblical women, arranging them into pairs and contrasting their journeys. In pairing their stories, Shannon helps us reflect not only on the meaning of each individual’s life, but on how they relate to each other and to us.
From the shepherdesses of ancient Israel who helped raise the future leaders of the people of God, to the courageous early Christians, the narrative of the Bible offers us many vivid and fascinating female characters. In their lives we can see common struggles to resist bitterness, despair, and pride, and to instead find their true selves in faith, hope, and love. In studying these heroes of the faith, we can find wisdom and warnings for how to better navigate our own faith journeys.
The Women of the Bible Speak outlines the lessons we can take from the valor of Esther, the hope of Hannah, the audacity of Rahab, and the faith of Mary. In broadening each woman’s individual story, Shannon offers us a deeper understanding of each, and wisdom and insights that can transform our own lives today.
