Do you sometimes feel that you would be able to grow in love for God and others if only your circumstances were different? Maybe you find that the sheer demands of everyday life squeeze out time for God? Perhaps a terrible tragedy has made you doubt the goodness of God? Read this true story to find out how one woman discovered that the most difficult circumstances are to teach us more about his grace; the very busy times are precisely those times when we need God's strength; the worst of tragedies can draw us closer to God. 
Elizabeth Prentiss is best known as the author of the popular novel Stepping Heavenward (first published 1869) and the well-loved hymn,More Love to Thee; The difficult things she experienced equipped her to minister to others through her letters, books, and poetry. To grow in love for God was the one great passion of her life: many have testified that her writings continue to inspire them with that same passion. I am grateful to Sharon James for sharing the story of this choice soul with us; a gripping, marvelous, and moving biography.

Exploring the Impact of Christianity throughout History 
In our increasingly secular world, many claim that Christianity is oppressive and toxic. Christians are accused of standing on the wrong side of history, failing to accept human dignity, freedom, and progress. Are these accusations valid? Is Christianity actually causing more harm than good in the world? 
In this concise booklet, author Sharon James shows that through history and across the globe, true followers of Christ have challenged injustice and abuse, and provided care for the needy. This has had a beneficial and widespread impact on all areas of human life. Without the moral ideals given to us by God, humans would lack the ability and desire to pursue justice, freedom, and compassion altogether. When Christians follow the biblical worldview with integrity and align their actions with their self-giving God, that results in sacrificial service to others. Outlines the Positive Effect Christianity Has Had across the Centuries: Argues a biblical worldview is essential for human freedom, flourishing, and fulfillment Useful for Church Leaders and Laypeople Alike: This book provides knowledge and confidence for believers as they interact with those who argue Christianity is oppressive Short, Accessible Format: A concise biblical exploration of Christianity’s impact in the world TGC Hard Questions Series: Equips readers with answers to difficult questions facing the modern church

Crossway

The world has embraced the idea that gender is something that can be decided by individuals. As Christians encounter colleagues, friends and family members who identify as a gender other than the one they were born, we need to be informed and equipped with knowledge about what the issues are, what different terms mean and what the Bible has to say about these things. While we walk the line between loving our neighbour and not buying into the world’s lies, Sharon James helps us in this informative and practical guide.

Gender Ideology: What Do Christians Need to Know?

Christian Focus

Many people today would say that Christianity has done more harm than good to our world. Sharon James argues, however, in seeking to love their neighbour and reflect God's moral character the followers of Jesus have had a largely positive impact on our society. James takes a number of areas - education, healthcare, justice, human dignity - and traces the ways in which these benefits have spread with the gospel. &nbsp; <h4>Chapter Headings:</h4> <ul> <li>Freedom</li> <li>Religious Liberty</li> <li>Justice</li> <li>Protecting Life</li> <li>The Dignity of Women</li> <li>Philanthropy</li> <li>Healthcare</li> <li>Education for All</li> <li>The Creation Mandate and the Value of Work</li> </ul> History: The Triumph of Christ &nbsp;

How Christianity Transformed the World

We are surrounded by lies. They are incorporated into the worldview of our culture. We daily absorb them, and these lies can have deadly effects on individuals, societies and whole civilisations. &nbsp; Sharon James investigates the origins of some of these lies and looks at how we have got to the point where 'my truth' is as valid as 'your truth', and absolute truth is an outdated way of thinking. In examining the evidence of history, she highlights the consequences of applying dangerous untruths. She also looks at how Christians often respond to the culture's lies -in silence, acquiescence or celebration of them - and why these responses can be as harmful as the lies themselves. &nbsp; In the second part she turns to the truth which leads to real liberation and justice. She shows why we don't need to be ashamed of Christ, or intimidated by the claims of those who are militantly opposed to the Bible. &nbsp; This book aims to equip Christians to navigate the minefield of current claims. To understand our inherent human significance, to know genuine freedom, and to work for real justice, we need to know the truth. &nbsp; Chapter headings include: Part One: The Lies We Are Told 1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; There is no God and no Absolute Morality ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Ludwig Feuerbach (1804-72): God is Just a Comfort Blanket ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Charles Darwin (1809-82): Made Atheism Intellectually Possible ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Karl Marx (1818-83): Overthrow the Old Society ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; From Dream to Nightmare 2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 'No God': From Atheism to Death Camps ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1908): No Transcendent Morality ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Sigmund Freud (1856-1939): To be Human is to be Sexual ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Wilhelm Reich (1897-1957): Father of the Sexual Revolution ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Margaret Sanger (1879-1966): Sex as Salvation ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Sexual Liberation: Triumph or Tragedy? 3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 'No Absolute Morality': From Relativism to Fatherlessness ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Five Ways to Destabilize Society 4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 'No Universal Truth': The Death of Common Sense 5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 'No Universal Humanity': Divided We Fall 6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; False Prophets: The Compromised Church Part Two: The Truth We Must Hold 7.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Biblical Worldview: Foundation of Truth,Freedom and Dignity ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; God the Creator ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Created in His Image ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; We Are All Sinners ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; We Can All be Forgiven 8.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Biblical Worldview: Foundation of Human Flourishing ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; God's Good Design: Family ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; God's Good Design: Work ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; God's Good Design: Communities ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; God's Good Design: Nations 9.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Biblical Worldview: Christ is King - Hope for the Future 10.
