Koenig, M.D., updates every chapter by incorporating the newest research and introducing sensible ways of translating that research into caring for patients.

Drawing on ten years of survey data with over three thousand teenagers and over two hundred interviews, God, Grades, and Graduation offers a revealing and at times surprising account of how teenagers' religious upbringing influences their educational pathways from high school to college. Dr. Ilana M. Horwitz estimates that approximately one out of every four students in American schools are raised with religious restraint. These students orient their lives around God so deeply that it alters how they see themselves and how they behave, inside and outside of church.

A 15-year-old boy is walking through a swirling fog on his way to school when a voice calls out, "Come here. We need to talk." Out of the mist emerges an old man with a white beard. He is a fantastic figure, as wizardly as Merlin, as wise as Socrates, as peaceful as Buddha. Whoever he is, the old man has appeared on that very day to change the boy's life. "You are old enough to learn about things," he says mysteriously. "And who is going to teach you but me?" The old man gives the boy four days of "soul training", a time of riddles, tricks, parables, and incredible twists.

Colleges, universities, and seminaries do more than just transfer knowledge to students. They sell themselves as "experiences" that transform young people in unique ways. The conservative evangelical Protestant network of higher education has been no different. In Fundamentalist U, Adam Laats shows that these colleges have always been more than just schools; they have been vital intellectual citadels in America's culture wars. These unique institutions have defined what it has meant to be an evangelical and have reshaped the landscape of American higher education.

Freedom. We all want it, expect it, and demand it. On the outside, you may be free to travel where, when, and with whom you want, but inside, you feel trapped in an emotional jail of depression, anger, anxiety, or fear. You may feel chained to past wounds, recurring negative thoughts, or relationships that keep you stuck and inhibit that sense of freedom you crave. While in your head, you believe that Christ brings freedom and that a relationship with God is the answer, you struggle to align your emotions with this truth.

In der heutigen Welt ist die Familie – einst das Fundament unserer Gesellschaft – zu einem Ort der Unsicherheit und des Konflikts geworden. Die biblische Ehe und Familie wird pervertiert und lächerlich gemacht, und die Einheit in den Familien zerbricht immer mehr. Und wir fragen uns:. • Wie können wir eine gesunde und gut funktionierende Familie aufbauen? • Welche Werte sollten wir unseren Kindern vermitteln, damit sie ein tragfähiges Fundament für ihre Zukunft haben? • Wie sieht eine biblische Eltern-Kind-Beziehung aus?

There are many religions on Earth. Although the meaning of religion may vary from person to person, all religions generally profess sublime teaching. Great religions clearly acknowledge and understand the value of human life and guide humanity accordingly.

Mark Young believes a revitalization of the evangelical movement must happen in our seminaries, where the shepherds of the next evangelicalism are being formed. Young argues that if these leaders of tomorrow are instilled with true gospel values, they will go on to form churches and missional organizations that offer a credible and compelling Christlike witness for the sake of the world. The Hope of the Gospel takes listeners through the history of evangelicalism and back to the present to make the case for how this can happen through a renewed vision of theological education.

When the church seeks popularity, the truth gets left behind. Modern Christianity has changed. Sermons once centered on sin, repentance, and obedience now focus on self-help, success, and cultural acceptance. Worship feels more like entertainment than surrender. The church is growing—but is it still preaching the truth? The Bible warns of a time when people would reject sound doctrine for what they want to hear. Has that time come? Have we traded God’s unchanging truth for relevance? This book challenges today’s church by comparing what God commanded in Scripture with what is preached now.

Tyranny requires two essential elements: fear and ignorance. What is the cure? Courage and education. It is time for Christians to get serious about taking dominion for the glory of God. The gospel isn’t only for individuals, but also for governments and nations.
