God is not a pluralist. Both the New Age and the ecumenical movement have been steadily chipping away at the orthodox Christian teaching that Jesus is the only way of salvation.
This booklet documents precisely what Jesus and the Apostles taught about religious pluralism. It includes nine different lines of argument the Bible uses--backed by 100 verses--to show that all spiritual roads don't "lead to Rome."
There is only one way: Jesus.

"If Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins" (1 Cor. 15:17).
The resurrection. As far as doctrines go, it's a game changer. Many accept the resurrection without giving it much thought. But isn't something so important worthy of our wrestling with it? What if we approached the issue of the resurrection in an unbiased manner and assessed it as a cold case detective would evaluate a crime scene? Author J. Warner Wallace is a retired cold-case detective. He also used to be an atheist. Follow along in this brief presentation of his approach in applying his detective's expertise to the accounts of the resurrection. Wallace believes the case is nothing but compelling: Jesus is alive!
This item is also available as a 10-pack for churches and individuals to share throughout the Easter season.

In this concise adaptation from his bestselling book The Story of Reality, Greg Koukl unpacks the story of the most unusual event in all of history. It is the accurate account of how the world went bad and how it gets fixed. It’s also the story of how we get fixed, because we are also broken—all of us. The world needs rescuing, but we need rescuing, too. Accomplishing that, however, involves the oddest thing you could ever imagine: God had to die and come to life again. This is the remarkable story of how that happened.

Of the 1.2 million abortions performed annually in the U.S., more than 500,000 are performed on college-aged women. They make up 44% of all abortions in the country.
So it is not surprising that there is a large, thriving network of pro-life groups on college campuses. These groups serve to advocate for pro-life and educate other young people about the physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual effects that abortion has on women.
While there are online guides and booklets on the topic, there are currently very few if any books that are specifically geared for use by young advocates for this cause. Now there is Stand for Life, a manual that addresses tough questions in a format that is concise and straightforward.

With their strong emphasis on traditional family values, education, discipline, and service, Mormons sound and look more 'Christian' than many believers. At first glance, there seems to be little to criticize in what they say or do. But peel back the facade, and you find a cult with its roots in immorality and heresy. The story of the Mormon Church is one of in-fighting, racism, polygamy, and violence. Often, even the members of the group don't know the full truth about either the history or the teachings of this fast-growing church.
This book has five sections: - A concise introduction to the group
- An overview of the group's theology--in its own words
- Tips for witnessing effectively to members of the group
- A bibliography with sources for further study
- A comparison chart that shows the essential differences between biblical Christianity and the group.

It's the hot topic of the moment. Christians, the Church, and the Bible seem to be out of step with modern attitudes towards homosexuality. And there is growing hostility towards those who hold a different view. So is God homophobic? And what do we say, and how do we relate to to both Christians and non-Christians who experience same-sex attraction?
In this short, simple book, Sam Allberry wants to help confused Christians understand what God has said about these questions in the Scriptures, and offers a positive and liberating way forward through the debate.
Includes a free CD recording of Greg's radio interview with the author.

The zeal and dedication of Jehovah's Witnesses mask a highly disciplined organization that has a troubled history. Moreover, their thorough knowledge of their own scriptures gives a pretense of having spiritual truth. The movement has grown from about 1.1 million worldwide in 1965 to 4.4 million today. Yet all is not what it seems in the Watchtower Society. How do the teachings of the Jehovah's Witnesses run counter to orthodox Christianity? What drives adherents to give hundreds of hours a year to 'witnessing'? What draws converts to a cult of strict control by religious leaders?

- An overview of the group's theology--in its own words
