It's tempting to believe that the Christian faith is alive and well in our country today. Our politicians talk about God. Our mega-churches are filled. Christian schools dot our landscape.

There are more left-handed people than evangelical Christians in America.

We live in a tumultuous time. Upheavals and reversals in culture, popular opinion, morality, race relations, socioeconomic status, and so much more have entire generations feeling off balance or out of touch.

At a time when violent images of the Muslim world dominate our headlines, Western audiences are growing increasingly interested in a different picture of Islam, specifically the idea of Muslim nonviolence, and what it could mean for the world. But is nonviolence compatible with the teachings of Islam? Is it practical to suggest that Muslim societies must adopt nonviolence to thrive in today’s world? Where is the Muslim equivalent of a Mohandas K. Gandhi or Martin Luther King Jr.?

Pages are turning on God's prophetic calendar, approaching that glorious day when his son will step once again into the world of time and space. What is the key to this timetable? The answer is Israel. And the controversy over her destiny affects every nation on Earth. In an urgent plea for prophetic watchmen, James W. Goll calls you to join the global prayer movement to remind God of his promises toward his ancient covenant people, according to a targeted biblical plan.

What’s going on in our world? Why are suicide bombers attacking our cities? Why are shooters invading our workplaces and malls? Why are students attacking speakers at their colleges? Why are there two versions of the truth on the Internet and in the media? Michael Youssef, popular teacher and Middle Eastern expert, explains in detail what’s troubling today’s world. Aggressive secularism is stripping our nation of the vestiges of truth, as many Christians are browbeaten into silence.

The notion of whether we are on the brink of the end times and if the Bible holds clues about what lies ahead, particularly in relation to the Israel and Palestine conflict in the Gaza Strip, is a truly intricate and fiercely debated subject. Countless religious interpretations and beliefs revolve around the topic of the end times, each offering unique perspectives and theories. For some, the ongoing strife in the Middle East, exemplified by the conflict between Israel and Palestine, aligns perfectly with biblical prophecies, serving as a forewarning that the end times are fast approaching

Raised in a lower-middle-class, nonreligious family, Fred Sievert lived the American dream by exercising a strong work ethic with the classic symptoms of a type-A overachieving personality. In the process, he often neglected his family and friends as he doggedly pursued his socioeconomic ascent. But God revealed himself to Fred in a profound way early in life and remained present through many difficult personal and business struggles, challenges, and decisions.

Islam is often associated with and limited to the worst of the world—extremism, obscurantism, misogyny, bigotry. So why would so many people associate with such a fundamentalist faith? Two Billion Caliphs advocates for a way of being Muslim in the world, ready for today and prepared for tomorrow.

"John DiIulio's Godly Republic: A Centrist Blueprint for America's Faith-Based Future is a splendid book. It is a much needed book. It is a book that will raise eyebrows and raise hackles - at both edges of the political spectrum. It will also raise the consciousness of listeners who are willing to consider dispassionately the careful, thoughtful, and quite penetrating argument Professor DiIulio makes...."
