Many people today wonder how America has fallen so far from grace in its institutions of business and government. In "The Pagans Are Revolting," author S.D. Lake points to the influence that paganism and secular humanism has had on culture in the United States. Lake presents examples to show there is a dangerous trend toward anti-Christian policies in the United States, and that those who don't believe in a God or a supreme being are revolting and stealing the next generation of Americans out from under Christian believers. "The Pagans Are Revolting" discusses how this dismantling of fundamental beliefs has left the country in a moral crisis. Lake shows how the country has been infiltrated by forces not friendly to the American constitution and the fundamental beliefs of its founding fathers, and he demonstrates how radical judicial opinions now take precedent over the voted will of the people. A culmination of observations about the state of today's society, "The Pagans Are Revolting" encourages people of faith to take a stand for what has traditionally been the American way of life in order to ensure a solid future for the country and its mental health.

This is an historical survey of 20th Century Roman Catholic Theological Ethics (also known as moral theology). The thesis is that only through historical investigation can we really understand how the most conservative and negative field in Catholic theology at the beginning of the 20th could become by the end of the 20th century the most innovative one. The 20th century begins with moral manuals being translated into the vernacular. After examining the manuals of Thomas Slater and Henry Davis, Keenan then turns to three works and a crowning synthesis of innovation all developed before, during and soon after the Second World War. The first by Odon Lottin asks whether moral theology is adequately historical; Fritz Tillmann asks whether it's adequately biblical; and, Gerard Gilleman, whether it's adequately spiritual. Bernard Haering integrates these contributions into his Law of Christ. Of course, people like Gerald Kelly and John Ford in the US are like a few moralists elsewhere, classical gate keepers, censoring innovation. But with Humanae vitae, and successive encyclicals, bishops and popes reject the direction of moral theologians.
"Many people in our society are in need of healing. They have been hard pressed, perplexed, and persecuted without processing the pain. Minister LaShawn Myers calls readers to a place of true brokenness before the Lord so that He can restore the ancient ruins of abuse, abandonment, addictions, unresolved life trauma, relationship issues, grief and loss as they become more authentic in their relationships with God and others."
A Father's Words examines the profound impact fathers' words have on their children. The words and actions of fathers shape their children's lives in many crucial areas. The things fathers say can make or break their children.

Rossi's insightful, practical, and compelling book focuses on helping fathers understand, reverse, and prevent the devastating effects of their demeaning words on their children. Rossi inspires and encourages fathers to make the necessary changes that will bless their children. He knows very well as a Christian counselor that this can only really be done with Christ.

A soldier understands the danger of failing to detect and disarm, or detonate a land/sea mine. This danger is even more devastating in spiritual warfare. Many Christians are very ignorant of the devices of the enemy of which we are warned to beware. Some Christians have lost spiritual legs, other spiritual body parts or have even died because of this ignorance. In this book, the author exposes Christians to this reality by examining topics such as: Satanic Mine Planters, Spiritual Mine Detectors, and Spiritual Mine Disarming and Detonation.
Words Made Flesh draws together a number of Elaine Graham's shorter writings and essays and thereby maps out the work of a pioneer theological thinker and the development of pastoral and practical theology in the last twenty years. Elaine Graham considers the theological significance of topics as diverse as nativity plays, science fiction, gender, consumerism, cyberspace and urban regeneration. They all share a concern with the way the sources and norms of the Christian tradition can enter into a creative and critical conversation with contemporary experience in order to generate the 'practical wisdom' by which the life of the Church can be directed. They reflect the author's fundamental conviction that theology as 'talk about God-in-the-world' is always practical and public - and that it begins and ends in the complexities of the human condition: where words become flesh. About the Author Professor Elaine Graham is Grosvenor Research Professor of Practical Theolog at the University of Chester and was Samuel Fergusson Professor of Social and Pastoral Theology at the University of Manchester and Executive Director of the Manchester Research Institute for Religion and Civil Society. She was President of the International Academy of Practical Theology between 2005 and 2007.
