"Religious pluralism teaches that people may be saved through a number of different religious traditions and saviors. Pluralists have given up Christianity as anything unique, and along with that, the authority of Scripture, the uniqueness of Jesus Christ, etc. As such, pluralism, as we have discovered, represents a different worldview that is antithetical to the gospel." Dr. Steven Wellum, SBTS Faculty

Surely there is nothing new under the sun. People have always had difficulty accepting any exclusive claim. In a fallen world where choice and options rule, the idea that there is only one way to do anything is met with hostility. Despite the temptation to make the words of Jesus more palatable in the name of "relevance," the challenge of the Christian must be to remain vigilant and faithful to the words of Christ. Only one course of action is faithful to the gospel.
Today‘s "tolerance" labels as intolerant anyone who does not accept all belief systems as equally valid. Can a Christian, in good conscience, proclaim Jesus as the only way to God? How is a Christian to communicate truth to people who hold a worldview that disregards the existence of truth? Jesus himself clearly declared that he is the only way to God. An audacious claim indeed! But audacity alone can never negate truth.
Only One Savior? This question comes from a heart that is searching for hope as well as a heart that rejects it. It is a question that deserves a truthful, careful, and compassionate response. Give Me An Answer 2009 will better equip you in defending our hope in the exclusivity, the necessity, and the uniqueness of Jesus Christ in our postmodern culture.

Is student ministry accomplishing what we think it is? Roughly two-thirds of students leave the church after graduation. Baptisms are down. Student pastors are walking away from ministry at startling rates. It s time to rethink student ministry. This book pairs the most up-to-date research available with an overview of a Biblical framework for ministry. It will arm you with facts, Scripture, and real-life ideas that will help you find new ways to involve parents back into the equation and help you escape the busy, bigger-and-better, number-driven model of student ministry.

Parents have the greatest privilege of their lives literally in front of them everyday: their children. Pointing their children to Christ, modeling faith, encouraging with words, and showing unfailing love is not a burden. It s a privilege. Apparent Privilege will arm parents with biblical understanding and up-to-the-minute research to show them the unparalleled opportunity they have to be the primary influence of their children. It will give parents a biblical view of parenting, answer questions and concerns we all have, and help them understand how Christian parenting must become more than taking your children to church. In short, this book will equip a parent live a life where the difference is apparent.

Family Worship surveys the biblical teaching on family worship, demonstrates how our heroes throughout church history have practiced it, and then gives fathers/husbands the simple, specific, practical how-to's of family worship.

There's also a section dealing with common questions such as,

What if the father is not a Christian?
What if there is no father at home?
What if the children are very young?
What if there are a wide range of ages among the children?
Plus, application is made to single men and women.












by Alex Harris
and Brett Harris
ISBN 1601421125





With over 10 million hits to their website TheRebelution.com, Alex and Brett Harris are leading the charge in a growing movement of Christian young people who are rebelling against the low expectations of their culture by choosing to “do hard things” for the glory of God.

Written when they were 18 years old, Do Hard Things is the Harris twins’ revolutionary message in its purest and most compelling form, giving readers a tangible glimpse of what is possible for teens who actively resist cultural lies that limit their potential. Combating the idea of adolescence as a vacation from responsibility, the authors weave together biblical insights, history, and modern examples to redefine the teen years as the launching pad of life and map a clear trajectory for long-term fulfillment and eternal impact.
