Father, May They Be One
What would it take for the Church to become one? In Father, May They Be One, Dr Enemona Emmanuel Adaji takes the prayer of Jesus in John 17 as his starting point and asks why the Church, two thousand years later, remains so deeply divided. With the rigour of a scientist and the heart of a believer, he examines the theological, historical, and human roots of Christian disunity, and charts a compelling path toward the unity Christ prayed for. Drawing on scripture, personal experience of Catholic and Pentecostal traditions, and a lifelong pursuit of God, this book offers both an honest reckoning with division and a hopeful vision for a Church that reflects the oneness of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This is not an academic treatise. It is a call, a call to the divided Church to take seriously the prayer of Jesus, and to ask what we are willing to lay down so that the world might believe.
Rethinking Early Christian Mission
Rethinking Early Christian Mission maps the complex diffusion of Christianity from rural Galilee to imperial dominance. Di Berardino looks beyond standard mission narratives to explore the social geography of expansion, emphasizing the roles of everyday believers-including slaves, soldiers, and women-in transmitting the faith. This nuanced study of identity formation and technical vocabulary challenges our understanding of "Christianization" in the Roman world.

When all hope is gone and life has become so dark that you can't go any further and there's nothing left but to give into the temptation to end your life, Proverbs 18:24 says, "There is one that sticks closer than a brother." His name is Jesus, and he came that they may have life and that they may have it more abundantly (John 10:10). Read how a little boy struggles to overcome rejection, sexual abuse, fear, and torment in his mind with the fear of death, and see how God's mighty hand and saving grace take him out of the clutches of death and give him his life back, one with peace and joy and full of hope, so don't ever give up because God will never give up on you.In Jesus's name, amen.

Kingdom Prayer
If you want to know the temperature of your spiritual life, look at the thermostat setting on your prayer life.Prayer is the most misunderstood and neglected aspect of the Christian life. It has been estimated that most Christians pray three to five minutes a day. Compare that to the time many spend complaining, and you'll gain insight into the spiritual and emotional condition of our day.Yet God has constructed the world in such a way that there is much He won't do in a Christian's life apart from prayer. Prayer, when combined with faith, can accomplish great things. In this practical and comprehensive overview of prayer, Tony Evans covers a variety of topics, including: Principles of productive prayer The power of prayer and praiseFasting and prayerPrayer and God's purposes Tony's expositions of various passages on prayer will help you realize its critical importance and encourage you to make it a dominant mark of your life.
Beyond Words
Do thoughts and prayers change anything? Maybe-but thoughts and prayers alone are not enough.If there is a God who listens to humans, that God is not "out there somewhere" waiting for us to send our prayers. That God is here-kneeling beside every murdered child, weeping with every grieving parent, sitting beside every hospital bed, walking through every homeless encampment.That God is the unseen mourner at every funeral, the unseen observer of every government session, the misunderstood supernatural being who cannot undo the havoc created by humans unless those humans choose to act as visible agents of change.There's no need to send anything unless we are also willing to do something
Discovering the 3EEE Lifestyle
Discovering the 3EEE Lifestyle looks at how to achieve Jesus Christ's command to his church to make disciples. To accomplish this task, you must focus on three primary areas: exalt the Savior, equip the saints, and evangelize the sinner. These are practical steps to help us effectively make disciples. Being a disciple is God's plan for every Christian.Discovering the 3EEE lifestyle begins with "exalting the Savior through worship." Worship says it's not about me. It's not about my wants or desires. It's not about my ambitions or plans. It's about me giving everything up for God. Worship is submission. Submission to Christ is the foundation of our relationship with him and the core of true worship.Discovering the 3EEE lifestyle continues with "equipping the saints through the Word." The task of equipping is essentially that of getting people ready to live the Christian life and to do ministry in the world. The operative phrase is found in Ephesians 4:12, to "Equip the saints for the work of ministry." The result of being "equipped" is Christlikeness.The final step in discovering the 3EEE lifestyle is "evangelizing the sinner through witnessing." It has been noted that most Christians never share their faith with nonbelievers or have never led anyone to faith in Jesus Christ. A disciple is taught that it is his or her duty to witness for Jesus Christ. Every disciple is commanded to make disciples by witnessing, mark them by baptism, and mature them by teaching them all the things that Jesus Christ commanded us.Discovering the 3EEE Lifestyle requires a transformation of life. This means more than just casual attendance at worship or Bible study. It is a process that begins when the believer "deny self, take up the cross daily, and follow Christ." But it calls for establishing a daily relationship with Jesus through Bible study, prayer, and practicing spiritual disciplines.
In God We Trust
I was in shock. One day, I was running my own business, with my family and myself as the majority shareholders. The next day, I was someone looking at my business from the outside, facing criminal charges and possible jail time. I was also witnessing all of my hard-earned assets disappear into a legal morass over which I had zero control. And it was all due to what was certainly an error in judgment, but nothing that was criminal as defined by the statutes of the United States government.My wife and I were not prepared, however, for how God would turn this tragedy into triumph. After much prayer and soul searching, we decided the best course of action was to plead guilty to one felony charge and let God take over from there. It was a decision we will never regret. I experienced a seventy-week adventure in a federal prison camp that propelled my walk with God to levels I wish I had attained many years earlier. In prison, I teamed up with some of the fi nest and most mature Christians I have ever met. We cultivated our own church, expanded each other's Biblical knowledge, and helped other inmates find salvation through the loving grace of Jesus Christ our Lord.This book describes in detail, month by month, my experiences in prison and my growing Christian worldview. I examined each month's current events in the world and reflected on how Christians might react to them. My growing biblical knowledge strengthened my prayer life, and my conversations with the Holy Spirit convinced me that part of my Christian mission was to share with the world what you will read in this book.In God We Trust is not just for Christians but also for anyone who is curious and wants to understand the Christian worldview. In America, we live in a nation divided by worldviews, and often those arguing for their cause have no clue how the other side thinks. I hope this book helps bridge that gap.

Christian Identity Crisis
Many believers experience an identity crisis because they don't "rightly divide the Word of truth" (2 Timothy 2:15). When believers fail to recognize "of whom and to whom" various passages in Scripture were written, they tend to arrive at radically different doctrines. This creates nothing but confusion, divisions, and the appearance that the Bible is plagued with contradictions. Without clear biblical distinctions, believers may base their identity on works, emotions, or religious rules rather than on their position in Christ as "a new creature." Christian Identity Crisis: Do We Have It All Wrong? seeks to restore clarity, assurance, and a stable identity rooted in truth, not confusion.What if our lack of unity is not the Bible's fault, but ours? What are the eternal consequences if we really do have it all wrong?
Just Love
This Changes Everything What happened to the Gospel that made Christians more focused on managing sin, performing religious deeds, and trying to reach heaven rather than exploring a love so vast it would transform them with joy? One simple word, mistranslated in our English Scriptures, has distorted our understanding of God's purpose throughout history and has robbed the Gospel of its power to transform us from within and reveal His glory to the world. Let coauthors Wayne Jacobsen and Tobie van der Westhuizen show you how this shift happened and why restoring the word Jesus used reconnects our salvation with his unfolding kingdom. No doubt, it will change you in ways you can't imagine. It might even alter the course of Christianity.
