The Saint Makers chronicles the unlikely alliance between Father Hotze and Dr. Andrea Ambrosi, a country priest and a cosmopolitan Italian canon lawyer, as the two piece together the life of a long dead Korean War hero and military chaplain and fashion it into a case for eternal divinity.

When the fires of life blaze through, leaving a path of destruction, do you look up and wonder, “Where are you, Lord?” We light a match with every decision we make, and when we strike without seeking God’s will, the flame may blaze in destruction.

Do we place our hope and trust in government to solve our problems and meet our needs? According to a recent Wall Street Journal poll, the answer is yes! While we look to the government for answers, our polarized political environment has only caused us to either fervently align with one political party or give up on politics altogether. Our increasing desire for government solutions and increasing frustration with politics is actually the result of idolatry.

“Believe me” may be the most commonly used phrase in Donald Trump’s lexicon. Whether about building a wall or protecting the Christian heritage, the refrain is constant. And to the surprise of many, about 80 percent of white evangelicals have believed Trump. Historian John Fea is not surprised - and in Believe Me he explains how we have arrived at this unprecedented moment in American politics. In this audiobook, Fea challenges his fellow believers to replace fear with hope, the pursuit of power with humility, and nostalgia with history.

In the Bible, the Book of Revelation is often considered a book about events that will take place in our future. The Beast will come, the number 666 will happen, etc. What is often overlooked, however, is that Jesus gave the contents of Revelation to John in about 95 AD. So everything written in the book was future to that time period, future to 95 AD.

Special Forces operative Morgan Raush rarely speaks to the handsome, blue-eyed Russian agent, Dmitry Rurik, about anything except military business if she can help it. They've formed an uneasy alliance during their mission in Uzbekistan. In the midst of icy nights and glowing fires, Morgan discovers Dmitry is much more than she'd first thought - a man torn between two ideologies, driven by faith and family. Then again, maybe the spy is only telling her what he wants her to believe? Morgan has only five days left to sort out the conflict in her heart, and...make it home by Christmas.

Almost two years after H. G, Wells' novel The Time Machine is published in New York City, a dazed young man shows up in Ruth Lonegon’s hayloft.

Only the vaguest of clues hint at who he is and - more importantly - why he's come to a small town in 1896 Colorado. Murder, treasure hunting, and young love combine explosively when the events of the future affect the past!

Our responsibility is the "ask or think," and God takes care of the "far more abundantly." God has called you to be a small-town pastor and grow your church right in your own backyard-but your vision is obscure and your resources are scarce. Take heart, because if God can prosper one church, He can prosper all.

When Jesus sent 70 disciples on ahead of him, part of their mission was to heal the sick. In fact, they were supposed to heal the sick before they preached the Gospel.

In The Healing Imperative: The Early Church and the Invention of Medicine as We Know It, Aquilina reconstructs the fascinating history of a uniquely Christian institution: the hospital.

Scripture calls parents to train and nurture their children's faith. How can churches best equip families to disciple their children? Family ministry expert Dr. Timothy Paul Jones gives church leaders a practical plan to equip parents to be the primary faith trainers in their children's lives, moving beyond mere programming into genuine spiritual transformation.

In most cases, when a church needs a lawyer, it hires a lawyer. When it needs a plumber, it hires a plumber. But when it comes to making business decisions, most churches convene well-meaning but often inexperienced volunteers to form a committee, then they take a month and vote on the color to paint a door in the nursery. Conducting business this way kills the vision and drains the passion out of right-brained, creative, relational pastors and ministry leaders.
