While Christian faith cannot be reduced to mere superstition, few would deny that Christianity is too easily plagued by superstition. Indeed, many Christian theologians have tried to purify Christianity of magical thinking in favor of genuine piety.

In this book, Joseph Ratzinger (Pope Benedict XVI) gives us profound meditations on what our life in Christ should be like as it is lived through the various Seasons and Feasts of the liturgical year. This book also includes thoughts on other spiritual and secular themes such as the true nature of peace, why it is difficult for so many to experience joy, the relationship between spirit and matter, vacation and rest, etc.

Each of us is the owner of a random collection of theologies, doctrines, and superstitions. It's a junk drawer of religious ideas and influences. It's the witticisms your grandmother tossed around with ease that sounded like they came from a religious text. It's an insight gleaned about God from a half-heard sermon at a friend's church. It's the mental screenshot of a meme shared on social media. It's the empowering idea you underlined in a book and wrote on a Post-it Note now forever affixed to your laptop.

New York Times bestselling author and Bible expert Bart Ehrman reveals how Jesus’s divinity became dogma in the first few centuries of the early church. The claim at the heart of the Christian faith is that Jesus of Nazareth was, and is, God. But this is not what the original disciples...

Most believers know about God the Father. They understand Jesus Christ. But the Holy Spirit? He remains a mystery—spoken of in hushed tones, misunderstood, and too often ignored.

This book strips away the confusion and brings clarity to one of the most vital aspects of the Christian life. Whether you are new to faith or have walked with God for years, you will discover how the Spirit moves, speaks, and empowers believers to live with ...

With more than 15 million copies in print, More Than a Carpenter continues to be one of the most powerful evangelical tools worldwide. Josh McDowell's timeless examination of the true nature of Christ and his impact on our lives is one of the best-selling Christian books ever. Written by a former skeptic of Christianity, it answers the tough questions about Christ's deity and the historical reliability of Scripture.

Christians, rightly called “people of the cross,” look to Jesus’s death and resurrection as the central points of his earthly mission. But in order to understand more fully the person and work of Christ, it’s important for believers to fix their minds on his entire ministry — his life, death, resurrection, and ongoing ministry today — and not solely on his work on the cross.

In The End of Religion, Bruxy Cavey shares that relationship has no room for religion. Believers and seekers alike will discover anew the wondrous promise found in our savior. And Christ's eternal call to walk in love and freedom will resonate with listeners of all ages and denominations.

This work is a must read for anyone who wants to better understand how Jesus defeated...

What if everything you've been told about your spiritual identity has been only half the story? For centuries, countless believers have lived with a diminished understanding of who they truly are—seeing themselves as merely forgiven sinners struggling toward heaven, rather than restored image-bearers designed to radiate divine light here and now. In The Broken Mirror, Jonathan Leger unveils a transformative truth that has been hiding in plain sight throughout Scripture: You were created as a mirror, designed to reflect God's very nature. Though sin shattered that reflection, Christ came ...

Break free from the norm to lead a radically abnormal (and endlessly more fulfilling) life. In our over busy, unprincipled, oversexed world; lust, debt, guilt, and shame are far more common than a healthy relationship to time, money, and relationships. Simply put, normal isn't working. In WEIRD...

In the 2014 New York Times best seller Jesus on Trial, David Limbaugh made a case for the Gospels as hard evidence of the existence of God, drawing on his own spiritual journey from skeptic to believer. Now Limbaugh looks deeper into the scriptures and discovers that Jesus Christ's very being reveals itself in a close reading of the sacred texts.
