Is mainstream evangelicalism contributing to the deceived, those who are traveling the wide path that leads to destruction? You may be surprised to find out that your favorite TV preacher, author, or local pastor is presenting another Jesus. So many are offering salvation void of self-denial, joyful suffering, and radical abandonment to His lordship. Unable to discern their deadly tactics, professing Christians remain content to travel the easy, more popular way.

However, the few, by God's grace, enter the narrow gate (Matthew 7:13) through repentant faith in Christ alone. Having counted the cost, they love and treasure Jesus more than comfort, possessions, relationships, and their own lives. Willing to joyfully endure temporary suffering, these loyal and devoted followers continue on the narrow way looking forward to their future inheritance, resurrection, and a new heaven and earth.

In an age of tolerance, bad theology, and pragmatic practices, this timely booklet is a must-read. Grieved over the deception of many, Chuck Hayes pleads with us all to sit down with a Bible in hand and soberly ask ourselves, "Which Way Are We Traveling?"

No fear? No anxiety? No heartache? No way George Roger Lee is well aware that these are part of life-even for believers in Jesus Christ. In the author's no-nonsense manner Lee invites readers to grab a coffee and look at biblical characters as they are, real men who faced real challenges. Take Job, for instance. Family-wiped out. Health and vitality-gone. Friends, if you can call them that-spewing excessive, unhelpful advice. And how about Samson? The guy who could have taken on any heavyweight champ and beaten him without breaking a sweat reduced to a weak, blind captive. What about Saul of Tarsus? Well educated. Devote. Murderer. Yet, God comes on the scene and restores and blesses Job beyond measure; empowers Samson for one last feat of superhuman strength; knocks Saul down to raise him up as Paul the Apostle, whose influence changes lives to this day. Lee acknowledges that the challenges of life can be overwhelming. He knows firsthand what it's like to live from paycheck to paycheck. He has seen what recession does to business. And, even now, he feels the pain of lost loved ones. Life in the postmodern world isn't easy. Lee acknowledges there are times life feels like hanging onto that two ton rodeo bull, trying to endure those eight eternal seconds or hitting the wall of the marathon called Life. But even the strongest gale force winds aren't an excuse for giving up. Readers are challenged to learn from God's Word, wear out the knees of their blue jeans in prayer, and call on the Lord to provide the strength to win the race. Readers are reminded they aren't alone. Jesus does, indeed, love the working man.

Justin Campbell was an active, out-going, five-year-old boy with red hair and freckles. A scar running the length of his chest was the only indication that this happy little boy had been born with a congenital heart defect. Although he was only five, Justin already had two younger brothers and a little sister on the way. His young parents, Robert and Sheila Campbell, found great pleasure in caring for their growing family. But when Justin was left in a coma with severe brain damage from complications following open-heart surgery, his mother was left struggling to pick up the pieces of their shattered lives. In this poignant story, Sheila recounts her struggle to make sense of the intense heartbreak and hardships that devastated their lives. Follow her in this journey of faith as God uses the handicaps of her young son to open her eyes to the handicaps that lay hidden in her own heart and, in the process, bring happiness and healing to a broken heart.
