Is Islam a peaceful and tolerant religion?For all the debate over Islam and its growing presence in the world, one thing is often overlooked: Islam is not a religion in the sanitized Western sense.

Now a National Bestseller Evangelicals are losing the culture war. What if it's their fault?In 2016, writer and filmmaker Ben Howe found himself disillusioned with the religious movement he'd always called home.

Whatever happened to the Moral Majority, who headed to Washington in the '80s to plant the flag of Christian values? Where were the Christian leaders that emerged from that movement and led the charge against Bill Clinton for his deception and unfaithfulness? Was all that a... View More...
With humor and grace Guiltless Living proposes that when we are willing to be open and honest about our own struggles, God uses that openness to encourage others to do the same.

We drink deeply from the living waters of God's goodness and grace when we are willing to hand over our sins - the ones we would rather keep buried in our hearts. It is for this reason that God calls Christians to b... View More...

Be faithful in your giving and God will reward you financially.

The appeal of this teaching crosses racial, gender, denominational, and international boundaries. Why are otherwise faithful Christians so easily ... View More...
