For more than forty years, Evidence That Demands a Verdict has
encouraged and
strengthened millions of people around the world. It has convinced
skeptics of the
Bible's reliability, helped believers articulate their faith, and given
them the vital facts
they need to defend God's Word and lead others to faith in Jesus. The
book has now
been revised and updated to include newly uncovered historical
documentation, recent
scholarship, and new and expanded chapters to address recent attacks on
Christianity.
In this new six-session video study (DVD/digital downloads sold
separately), Josh and
his son, Sean, help believers in Christ understand how the books of the
New Testament
came into being, how they differ from "Gnostic" and non-biblical texts,
and why they
can be sure that the New Testament books are historically reliable.
They also examine
how believers can know that Jesus existed, why the claims he made about
himself are
true, how he fulfilled Old Testament prophecies about himself, and how
believers can
know the resurrection took place.
This study is for anyone who has ever been stumped by someone's
arguments against
Christianity or the Bible-or has wondered for themselves if the Bible's
depiction of Jesus
is true and not just a made-up fairy tale. It has been specifically
created to help
Christians know what they believe, why it is true, and how they
communicate biblical
truth to a skeptical world.
This study guide is designed for use with the Evidence That Demands a
Verdict Video
Study (sold separately).
"Korean-American Youth Identity and 9/11: An Examination of
Korean-American Ethnic Identity in Post-9/11 America" by Professor
Heerak Christian Kim of Asia Evangelical College and Seminary is a
very important book in the area of ethnic studies in post-9/11
America. Although many books have been written on 9/11, there has
not been adequate examination of its impact for particular ethnic
groups. Even scholars of ethnic studies seem to ignore 9/11 as an
event that is incidental to self-understanding and group identity
of America's ethnic groups. This book is a step in the right
direction in computing 9/11 into the study of ethnic identity and
experience in America. This book specifically focuses on
Korean-American identity, particularly in regards to
Korean-American youth. However, this scholarly examination is
further significant in its sensitivity to the ethnic experience of
other Asian-Americans and in its examination of Korean-American
identity as negotiated in the context of the larger dominant
culture of America. And this book contributes further to the
understanding of ethnic identity in the United States by devoting
an important chapter to the dynamics of inter-ethnic relations
between Korean-Americans and African-Americans. Besides being a
monumental contribution to the understanding of ethnic identity in
comparative terms, this book represents an important contribution
to Korean-American studies. This book is the most up-to-date book
on Korean-American youth identity and provides the scholarly
community with valuable information regarding which direction to
take future research regarding Korean-American identity and the
Asian-American experience in the United States. As Asian-Americans
are rising in terms of number and influence, the need for
understanding their identity becomes important on academic, social,
political, economic, and intellectual levels. This book is a very
important book to meet the rising need that has been largely
neglected in academia and in the publishing industry thus far. This
book is an essential addition to all serious university libraries,
public libraries, and private personal libraries of educated
individuals.

"One of the first great events in Christian history was the Council
of Nicaea in 325 AD, convened to organize Christian sects and
beliefs into a unified doctrine. The great Christian clergymen who
wrote before this famous event are referred to as the Ante-Nicenes
and the Apostolic Fathers, and their writings are collected here in
a ten-volume set. The Ante-Nicenes lived so close to the time of
Christ that their interpretations of the New Testament are
considered more authentic than modern voices. But they are also
real and flawed men, who are more like their fellow Christians than
they are like the Apostles, making their words echo in the ears of
spiritual seekers. In Volume III of the 10-volume collected works
of the Ante-Nicenes first published between 1885 and 1896, readers
will find three of Tertullian s most famous writings. In
Apologetic, Tertullian addresses the powers that be in Rome,
demanding that Christians be accepted and tolerated by Roman law.
In Anti-Marcion, Tertullian attacks and discusses heretics. And in
Ethical he discusses a variety of moral questions."
Politicians in Washington are grappling with a soaring national
debt that threatens our status in the world and, indeed our very
future. The government funded by this debt is seen as too big and
intrusive. Yet, eighty years of liberal progressivism have left us
a nation ill prepared to face a future of less government. Even
more urgent than the massive debt accumulated over the decades are
the crumbling institutions left in the wake of the failed
experiment of socialism. Americans sense that the old social
contract of "cradle to grave" care no longer works, if it ever did.
They know that anarchy is not a replacement for big government and
are searching for a new world view.But the way forward will never
be found until we understand how our nation fits within a higher
purpose for all men and women. The Four Institutions of the
Cultural Mandate provide this understanding and clarifies what the
American people must do to secure our country's future. This book
shines a light on these institutions and provides the new world
view and the new social contract Americans are longing for.George
Radanovich was elected to Congress in 1994. He served as president
of the freshman class of the new republican majority and pressed
the need for cultural reform to accompany the reduction in the size
of government. A believer that politics and jurisprudence are
downstream from culture, The New World Order is the Old World
Order, is the culmination of his thirty-year effort to develop a
new social contract based on cultural reform. He retired from
Congress in 2011, after the tragic loss of his wife, and returned
to his hometown of Mariposa, CA, to raise their 12 year-old son,
rebuild the family vineyard and establish a foundation, The Four
Institutions, to restore the institutions of the Cultural Mandate.

"In this masterful work George Gray calls the church to live out
the most natural expression of her love and obedience to the
Master. Grounded in careful exegesis, comprehensive, and sensitive
to the complexities of modern life, Gray examines the Gospels as a
script that reveals not only how Jesus shaped the first disciples,
but how we must carry on making disciples in His name."
-David B. Capes, Thomas Nelson Research Professor, Houston
Baptist University

Discipleship is not about teaching someone to pray and read his
or her Bible; it is about learning how Jesus wants us to pray and
read our Bibles. Discipleship is not about the doctrine of the
Church, but the doctrine of Jesus Christ, the head of the Church.
It is not about attending a church service, but attending to the
Lord Jesus's view of what it means to be the church.
In "Discipleship from Jesus's Perspective," author George Gray
presents a guide for becoming a disciple the way Jesus intended,
that discipleship means adhering to His expressed will. Gray
carefully examines Jesus's pivotal statements regarding
discipleship and unearths the key principles that transform the art
of making a disciple from a subjective guessing game to an
objective and definitive master plan.
Including purposeful questions and exercises, "Discipleship from
Jesus's Perspective" provides practical steps for following the
master plan and applying the commands to everyday life to become a
true disciple of Jesus.
