The Reason for God: Belief in an Age of Skepticism
by Dr. Timothy Keller
Hardcover
Our Price: $1.00 You Save: 96%


As founding pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in the heart of liberal Manhattan, Dr. Timothy Keller has been called upon to answer tough questions about Christianity by skeptics and believers alike. Questions such as: Why is there suffering in the world? How could a loving God send people to Hell? How can one religion be "right" and the rest "wrong"? Now, in The Reason for God: Belief in an Age of Skepticism, Dr. Keller provides theologically sound and intellectually persuasive answers to these questions and many more like them. Written with atheists, agnostics, and skeptics in mind, Keller also provides an intelligent platform on which true believers can stand their ground when bombarded by hostile questioning. The Reason for God challenges such ideology at its core and points to the true path and purpose of Christianity.

Mother Teresa: Come Be My Light
by Fr. Brian Kolodiejchuk, M.C.
Hardcover
Our Price: $1.00 You Save: 96%


During her lifelong service to the poorest of the poor, Mother Teresa of Calcutta's public image was that of a tiny, energetic woman of cheerful disposition who embodied the essence of Christian faith in action. But only her closest spiritual advisors knew of the agonizing spiritual pain she endured for almost fifty years. Now, to commemorate the tenth anniversary of her death, Mother Teresa: Come Be My Light brings together the private letters she wrote to her spiritual advisors which reveal the hidden dynamics of her relationship with God -- including moments, indeed years, of utter desolation. In this moving chronicle of her spiritual journey, Mother Teresa emerges as a classic mystic whose inner life burned with the fire of charity and whose heart was tested and purified by an intense trial of faith, a true "dark night of the soul." read more

Exodus: Why Americans Are Fleeing Liberal Churches for Conservative Christianity
by David Shiflett
Hardcover
Our Price: $1.00 You Save: 96%


It's a trend: in this anything-goes age, ever larger numbers of people are opting for tougher moral standards. Millions are streaming out of churches that preach the Gospel of "If It Feels Good, Do It," and are finding homes in houses of worship that preach a more traditional and more demanding religion. Churches that have ditched Christian doctrine in favor of an unremitting advocacy of the Democratic Party platform, like the Episcopalians and Unitarians, are hemorrhaging members -- while conservative churches like the Southern Baptists are gaining members in record numbers.

How the Catholic Church Built Western Civilization
by Thomas Woods, Jr.
Hardcover
Our Price: $1.00 You Save: 97%


Ask a college student today what he knows about the Catholic Church, and his answer might come down to one word: "corruption." But according to Thomas E. Woods, Jr., that one word should be "civilization." In How the Catholic Church Built Western Civilization, Professor Woods shows how the Catholic Church has shaped our civilization to a far greater degree than most people -- Catholics included -- have been taught. "To be sure, most people recognize the influence of the Church in music, art, and architecture," writes Woods (author of the New York Times bestseller The Politically Incorrect Guide to American History). But her influence goes far beyond that. In fact, he reveals, the Church's imprint can be found on every major achievement and institution of the West -- from science and economics, to international law and "just war" theory, to the university system and organized charity.

Is Jesus the Only Savior?
by James R. Edwards
Paperback
Our Price: $1.00 You Save: 94%


Nowadays many well-meaning people reject the idea that Jesus is the sole savior of the world. The self-appointed experts of the "quest for the historical Jesus" and the Jesus Seminar have eroded confidence in the Christian message, and Leftist culture warriors continually bleat that it is bigoted to affirm that one religion is superior to any other or that Jesus is the only savior. But now James R. Edwards, a professor of biblical languages and literature, ordained Presbyterian minister, and contributing editor of Christianity Today, sets the record straight -- and gives conservative Christians solid ammunition to use when the religious relativists and multiculturalist totalitarians start to attack the Lord and His saving role.

Why We Whisper
by Jim Demint and J. David Woodard
Cloth Text
Our Price: $1.00 You Save: 96%


The First Amendment guarantees all Americans freedom of speech and religion. Yet today, these fundamental liberties are under vicious attack by secular liberals who are using the power of the courts, schools, government bureaucracy, and the media to drive conservative and Christian ideas from the public square. As a result, morally responsible, patriotic Americans are forced to withdraw into the shadows of public opinion, where their freedom of speech is reduced to whispers. Now, in Why We Whisper, U.S. Senator Jim DeMint and Professor David Woodard expose the means and methods of the liberal assault on free speech; reveal its devastating consequences for the health of our society; and call on America's "Muzzled Majority" to start fighting back.

The Church and the Market
by Thomas E. Woods, Jr.
Paperback
Our Price: $1.00 You Save: 95%


Many orthodox Catholics are under the impression that Church teaching requires them to reject free enterprise and favor an array of interventions in the marketplace. Not so, argues Thomas E. Woods in this principled and unapologetic defense of the free market from a Catholic perspective.

Why Politics Needs Religion
by Brendan Sweetman
Paperback
Our Price: $1.00 You Save: 95%


It's a truism of American life that religion has no place in the politics. Faith, it is said, is a private affair that should have no bearing on public policy. But this is not only unjust to the millions of religious (mostly Christian) voters and taxpayers in this country - it's also false. As Brendan Sweetman argues in Why Politics Needs Religion: The Place of Religious Arguments in the Public Square, secularism is itself a kind of religion -- or "worldview " -- with its own assumptions about ultimate reality, its own morality, its own vision of the good life. read more






Cruel and Usual Punishment: The Terrifying Global Implications of Sharia Law
by Nonie Darwish
Hardcover
Our Price: $1.00 You Save: 96%


For the first thirty years of her life, Nonie Darwish lived as a slave to Islamic law, Sharia -- which, as "Allah's law," no one dared question. But now she is free, and is revealing the secrets that Islamists in America and around the world don't want you to know. In Cruel and Usual Punishment: The Terrifying Global Implications of Sharia Law, she exposes just how inhumane and destructive Sharia law really is -- and how Islamic jihadists are making a concerted effort to bring these cruel laws to the Western world, and destroy our freedoms from within.

Frequent Confession
by Benedict Baur, OSB
Hardcover
Our Price: $1.00 You Save: 96%


After Vatican II, a major weapon in the arsenal of struggling Catholics was turned into a marshmallow. Frequent Confession became "necessary" only for those "in mortal sin," it was thought (and sometimes taught). Out of print, too, went this hugely popular volume on both sides of the Atlantic, easily the most methodical book ever written about the many uses of Confession for spiritual growth. Confession, its author makes clear, is not a counseling session. Rather, says the late German Abbot, Benedict Baur, OSB, frequent Confession has "high value in the spiritual life" -- and can help you overcome various weaknesses, bad habits and perverse inclinations.

Personal Faith, Public Policy
by Harry R. Jackson and Tony Perkins
Hardcover
Our Price: $1.00 You Save: 95%


Everywhere you turn, pundits and politicos are writing the obituary of the religious Right. We are told in ponderous articles the movement is fracturing, splintering, losing momentum, losing heart, and on the verge of irrelevance. But is it true? Or is it wishful thinking on behalf of those who have always despised what the religious Right stands for? "We’re not betting men, but we're pretty sure it’s the latter," write Harry Jackson Jr. and Tony Perkins. Now, in In Personal Faith, Public Policy, Jackson and Perkins name the seven areas that Christian conservatives must engage in to regain our confidence and clout -- and explain how to do it successfully.

Sacred Then and Sacred Now
by Thomas E. Woods
Paperback
Our Price: $1.00 You Save: 94%


On July 7, 2007, Pope Benedict XVI shook up the Catholic world as no pope has since John XXIII convened the Second Vatican Council in 1962. In his Apostolic Letter Summorum Pontificum, the pontiff announced that any priest in the world may offer the traditional (“Tridentine”) rite of Mass, the liturgy of the Catholic Church before the new Mass was introduced after Vatican II.

Shattered Tablets
by David Klinghoffer
Hardcover
Our Price: $1.00 You Save: 96%


The foundation of all Judeo-Christian belief, the Ten Commandments were until very recently the undisputed basis for American morality and governance. Today, however, they are in danger of becoming irrelevant in our society -- even among professing Jews and Christians. As a resident of the most secular region of the U.S., the Pacific Northwest, David Klinghoffer sees daily the consequences of that attitude. Now, in Shattered Tablets: Why We Ignore the Ten Commandments at Our Peril, he uses his trenchant personal observations to expose how modern society, in spurning the Commandments, is paying a heavy price in everything from our family relationships to our national discourse -- and explains why we will likely pay an even heavier price if we persist in our folly. read more






The Dawkins Delusion?
by Alister McGrath, Joanna McGrath
Hardcover
Our Price: $1.00 You Save: 94%


Richard Dawkins' runaway bestseller The God Delusion has established him as the world's most high-profile atheist polemicist, who directs a ferocious trade of criticism against religion in general and Christianity in particular. Now, in The Dawkins Delusion, Alister McGrath, together with wife Joanna McGrath, subjects Dawkins' critique of faith to rigorous scrutiny - and finds it wanting in more ways than one. read more






The Myth of Hitler's Pope
by David C. Dalin
Hardcover
Our Price: $1.00 You Save: 96%


Books like John Cornwell's Hitler's Pope and Garry Wills's Papal Sin (and others) have become New York Times bestsellers by arguing that Pope Pius XII was complicit in the Holocaust by failing to do enough to save the Jews from Nazi extermination. But in The Myth of Hitler's Pope, Othodox Jewish Rabbi David Dalin explodes this newly resurrected, widely accepted, yet utterly bankrupt smearing of a pope who was, in fact, to Jewish survivors of the Holocaust, "a righteous gentile."

The Religions Next Door
by Marvin Olasky
Paperback
Our Price: $1.00 You Save: 93%


Aren't all religions fundamentally the same? Don't they teach the same basic ethical principles, and worship the same God? To the media, the answer is an obvious "yes" -- but the real answer is an emphatic "no." Now, in The Religions Next Door: What We Need to Know about Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Islam -- and What Reporters Are Missing, Marvin Olasky tells the truth about about non-Christian religions -- and the danger of believing that all religions hold different variations of the same tenets.
