In many parts of the world today you will meet people who say they are born again Christians. Numerous individuals claim to be reborn or regenerate. Every so often, the media report that some celebrity or other has been born again. Pollsters suggest that as many as 80-90 million Americans claim to be born again. This book is written with the intention of helping those who want to study the subject from a biblical point of view. If, as we believe, the new birth is entering a new world, a new state of existence, with a new capacity for action then it is something we all need to know about and something we all need to understand clearly, whether we have experienced it or not.

Abuse of different forms has become much more prevalent in the United States over the last two decades. Unfortunately, Christian marriages are not immune to this dark reality. Often part of a dynamic of control and oppression in relationships, extreme authoritarian teaching can set the stage for abuse to occur. Far too often, rather than being a haven for survivors of abuse, local churches enable perpetrators by maintaining a "code of silence" and shaming victims for speaking up. In this book, Marie O'Toole identifies the many forms spousal abuse takes; alerts the reader to the signs of an abusive relationship; and offers practical advice to pastors and counselors on how better to confront abusers and help victims heal within complementarian environments. Some of the questions this book answers:   What is emotional abuse?  Why do Christian women stay in destructive relationships? Can abusers change?  Are men also victims of abuse?  Is marital abuse ever biblical grounds for divorce? What does the Bible say about "ragers" and "revilers"?  How does Christ heal abuse survivors?  The issue of abuse within Christian communities (and how it is often mishandled by the Church) is currently garnering more media attention worldwide as it reaches near- epidemic levels. With more pastors and victim advocates speaking out than ever before, leadership of seminaries and local churches need to reevaluate how they assess and counsel women in the unenviable position of a destructive marriage. Writing from an insider's perspective as well as that of a biblical counselor, O'Toole sheds light on a painful subject often shrouded in secrecy and shame.

Fractured Covenants: The Hidden Problem of Marital Abuse in the Church

WILL I MAKE IT TO HEAVEN? How many Christians have asked themselves this question? Author Daniel Deeds answers this troubling question head on in the pages of this book with courage and insight. The general Christian world has called this issue the "security of the believer." During the Protestant Reformation, and in Reformed circles today, it is called the "Perseverance of the Saints," a designation which, in and of itself, has caused much controversy. That is why this book is an urgent read for the Church. There are many "gospels" being preached today in the Evangelical world. What is lacking is clarity on the nature of salvation in Christ, and the Christian's part--or lack thereof--in it. Let the author explain (from the Introduction): Is perseverance necessary for salvation? Is it possible for a believer to abandon Christ and go back to sin and the world after having been converted? If so, what would the result be? Would such a person remain eternally saved anyway, or would salvation be forfeited? Can someone who is a believer in Christ today know for sure that he/she will continue to be saved forever? These questions have been around for ages. They have probably crossed the mind of every single Christian. Yet when searching Scripture for answers, Christians don't all reach the same conclusions. Throughout the centuries of Christian history, this issue has led to many debates, and differences have even caused divisions in churches and denominations. In some cases, Bible colleges and ministries were founded for the express purpose of promoting a particular perspective on this point of doctrine. And what has been achieved through so much debating? Far from coming to a consensus, the subject continues to be the cause of disagreement and fragmentation in the body of Christ. Instead of being remedied, the problem is only exacerbated every time somebody comes along and proposes a new system of interpretation, believing to have finally found the key to overcome the differences and bring an end to the debate. At present, we have more theories disputing over the minds of Christians than at any time in history, and if this is any indication of what lies ahead, viewpoints may just continue to multiply, causing further division, until the return of Christ. The solution, however, is not to pursue unity by ignoring the issue. Abandoning our efforts toward doctrinal unity and aspiring only to have institutional unity is, in reality, to give up on achieving true unity. If Christ's church does not benefit from division, it profits even less from a disregard for doctrine. External unity, without confessional unity, is merely apparent unity, which becomes an ideal context for the proliferation of error rather than for the proclamation of the truth. After all, the church should function as the pillar and buttress of the truth (1 Tim. 3:15). If this issue has ever troubled you, your church, or your denomination--read this book!

From Religion to Christ

Two thousand years ago, under the cover of a dark night, a gray-haired Jewish Rabbi approached a much younger man to inquire about matter that were deeply troubling him. That conversation, between Nicodemus and Jesus of Nazareth, is the subject of this book. The author is concerned about millions of people who are in the same position today that Nicodemus found himself in-religious, but not redeemed by God. A careful and prayerful reading of this book can be used of God to open the eyes of many to see clearly that their religion is empty and vain, but salvation can and will be found in Jesus Christ alone.
