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.
This easy-to-read book is ideal for giving away to people after spiritual conversations. Discounts for multiple copies are available. Please see the "Quantity Discount" tab above for details.

"As a Christian, I believe that Jesus is the only way for me, but I can't say He is the way for others." In this booklet, Greg exposes the error behind this relativistic statement, identifying and repudiating the three corrosive elements that prompt such confused confessions: theological uncertainty, religious pluralism, and Christian inclusivism.

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.

The story that could change your life. Skeptic Josh McDowell thought Christians were out of their minds. He ridiculed and insulted them, then decided to combat them with his own thorough research to disprove the claims of Jesus Christ. To his surprise, he discovered that the evidence suggested exactly the opposite-that Jesus, instead of being simply a first-century Hebrew carpenter, truly was the God he claimed to be.
Since its original publication, More Than a Carpenter has sold over 20 million copies and changed countless lives. Now, in this revised and updated edition, Josh is joined by his son, Sean, as they tackle the questions that today's generation continues to ask:
"Can I be spiritual without believing in God?"
"How can I make sure that my life counts for something?"
"Is it really possible to know anything for sure about God or Jesus?"
Read the story. Weigh the facts. Experience his love. And then watch what happens.

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.

For over 2,000 years, people everywhere have continued to grapple with the all-important question, “Who is Jesus?”
The answer is available, but is often clouded by misunderstanding and mistruth. Unfortunately, this is especially the case on today’s college campuses, where facts are regularly blurred in the name of tolerance and pluralism.
TrueU: Who is Jesus? is designed to help students and young adults discover the truth about Jesus for themselves. Dr. Del Tackett, host of Focus on the Family’s The Truth Project, is assisted by guest experts Greg Koukl, Lee Strobel, Gary Habermas, and others. Together they intelligently explore Jesus’s ancestry and prophetic mission; His words, works, and character; His death and resurrection; whether Jesus is the only way to God; and more.
- Questions to facilitate group discussion or individual meditation, with spaces to write down answers
- Exercises to help participants gain a better grasp of the subject matter
- Key quotations about Jesus

Can we prove the existence of God, or are we left to grapple in the dark and take blind leaps of faith about what we believe?
Everyone asks these questions, and maybe you think you have the answers. But can you defend your beliefs when peers and professors are challenging your worldview?
In TrueU: Does God Exist? Dr. Stephen Meyer plays a sir of "philosophical survival" game pitting four worldviews against one another in the quest to decide which one gives the best answers. Dr. Meyer helps you examine the evidence and provides the tools needed to defend your faith and make it your own.
This discussion guide is to be used in conjunction with the TrueU: Does God Exist? DVDs. It includes illustrations, quotes, activities, quizzes, and space to respond to questions.

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.

For philosophers, the pursuit of truth travels on precise definitions. For Christian apologists, the defense of the faith is founded on the defining Word. And for beginning students of either discipline, the difference between success and frustration begins with understanding the terms and ideas and identifying the thinkers and movements.

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?
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.

Same-sex marriage is here, presenting unique challenges and opportunities. How do those who follow Christ faithfully answer the standard talking points for same-sex marriage? And how can they best articulate the case for one-man, one-woman marriage in everyday conversation?
Sean McDowell and John Stonestreet believe a thoughtful approach to God's design for marriage is the answer to both questions. The key is not a contentious attitude towards those who believe in same-sex marriage, but a winsome perspective that is faithful to Christ, committed to truth, and shaped by a love for God and others. Christians need to know that because Christ has risen, there is no such thing as "all hope is lost." They are still called to engage culture even if they are viewed as wrong, illegal and intolerant.
