New DVD: The Case for Christ

The Case for Christ (DVD) - A hard-driving journalist, Lee Strobel was exactly where he expected to be at work: on top. His award-winning investigative reporting recently earned him a promotion to legal editor at the Chicago Tribune. But things weren’t going nearly as well at home where his wife Leslie’s newfound faith in Christ went against everything Lee believed—or didn’t believe—as an avowed atheist.

Utilizing his journalistic and legal training, Lee begins a quest to debunk the claims of Christianity in order to save his crumbling marriage. Chasing down the biggest story of his career, Lee comes face-to-face with unexpected results that could change everything he knows to be true.

Based on Lee Strobel’s award-winning bestselling book, starring Mike Vogel, Erika Christensen, Faye Dunaway, and Robert Forster. Directed by Jon Gunn.

New book: The Evangelical's Guide to Spiritual Warfare by Charles H. Kraft

The Evangelical's Guide to Spiritual Warfare by Charles H. Kraft - Are you aware of the spiritual battle being waged around you today?

The truth is that although spiritual warfare is a major theme in the Bible, many of us gloss over it--or ignore it completely. But 80 percent of the synoptic gospels addresses the battle with evil spirits, and Jesus and His disciples set a clear example for believers. We cannot afford to practice a powerless Christianity in a fallen world.

In this essential, accessible resource, former evangelical seminary professor and missionary Charles Kraft helps you find your footing in the spiritual battle. Based on a solid biblical foundation and on decades of ministry experience, this book will help you:

- Differentiate between myths and truths about spiritual warfare

- Recognize the everyday battles taking place around you

- Learn what demons really are and what they actually do

- Understand the rules for engaging the enemy

- Achieve victory in daily battles with the help of the Holy Spirit

Don't let fear keep you from engaging the spiritual forces at work around you. Some problems can't be overcome in any other way.

New book: Unshakable Hope by Max Lucado

Unshakable Hope: Building Our Lives on the Promises of God by  Max Lucado - What feels shaky in your world? Are you overwhelmed by the problems you’re facing or the pain you’re feeling?

Maybe you feel hurt by the past. Disappointed by the present. Worried about the future. If so, you are not alone, but there is hope. You can live with security and purpose.

In Unshakable Hope, Max Lucado unpacks 12 of the Bible’s most significant promises, equipping you to overcome difficult circumstances by keeping your focus on the hope found in the promises of Scripture rather than dwelling on the problems in front of you. For every problem in life, God has given you a promise.

Hope is hard to come by these days. Whether it’s heart disease or cancer, job failure or addiction, natural disasters or family disasters, mass murders or mental illness, there are so many reasons to be overwhelmed.

In a world full of instability, we do not need more opinions or hunches; we need the definitive declarations of our mighty and loving God.

What is your life built on—the circumstances of life or the promises of God? The answer to that question changes everything. Join Max as he takes a closer look at Scripture’s unbreakable promises and shows you how to live with unshakable hope.
