Because all non-Christian worldviews are indefensible, it is not sufficient for skeptics to attack Christianity without also defending the foundation for their own unbelief. Everyone has a worldview, even atheists and skeptics, but only the Christian worldview is not self-contradictory. The Absurdity of Unbelief demonstrates why every possible reason for unbelief is irrational and ultimately meaningless by exposing the various self-refuting systems of thought in which these objections are rooted. "Agnostics and atheists have been making a lot of noise in recent years, in spite of the fact that their belief systems are so obviously flawed. To counter their propaganda we need a flow of books exposing just how flimsy their arguments are. Jeffrey Johnson has chosen the word 'absurdity' to characterise these, and he has chosen well. Chapter by chapter he strips unbelief of any vestige of credibility, then shows with crystal clarity why the biblical case for God stands supreme when contrasted with all other philosophical and religious belief systems. I predict that this book will be as great a help to many of its readers as it has been to me, and I commend it warmly." John Blanchard "As Christians struggle to hold onto a semblance of sanity in the midst of the collapse of Western morality and thought, a sound foundation upon which to stand in explaining our unwillingness to bow the knee to Caesar is a must. In The Absurdity of Unbelief, Jeffrey Johnson provides a clear and compelling case for the Christian faith, readable and usable for believer and unbeliever alike." James R. White

Evangelistic preaching does not just include preaching the historical facts of the gospel, but it also includes passionate appeal for the lost to repent and believe the gospel.

Reader, do you mean business in reading these pages? If so, we are agreed at the outset; but nothing short of your finding Christ and heaven is the business aimed at here. Oh, that we may seek this together! I do so by dedicating this little book with prayer. Will not you join me by looking up to God and asking Him to bless you while you read? Providence has put these pages in your way, you have a little spare time in which to read them, and you feel willing to give your attention to them. These are good signs. Who knows but the set time of blessing is come for you? At any rate, the Holy Spirit says, "Today, if you hear his voice do not harden your hearts." - C. H. Spurgeon

Sometimes in our childhood, we fantasize about our future parenting skills and how we will be the ultimate mom or dad. These grand visions rarely survive the first few months of our own journey as parents-once that specter of self-will first manifests in our new bundle of joy. We quickly learn that while parenting is infinitely rewarding and a wonderful blessing, it is also a difficult, sometimes confusing, often thankless responsibility. We find ourselves wishing for a clear, simple, and preferably, illustrated instruction manual. In Purposeful and Persistent Parenting, John and Cindy Raquet seek to share, through encouraging examples of their journey toward God-honoring parenthood, the lessons they learned in raising their eight children. With personal stories of triumph and failure, goal-setting (and resetting), many practical tips, and a little blue tape, they hope that this work will be a valuable companion on your own adventure in parenting and instrumental in helping you to truly enjoy the work of raising your children.

Review\nPerhaps the greatest compliment I can pay an author is to read his book to my wife and my five children, ages eleven to seventeen. This book on prayer, written by Dr. Jim Orrick, is not the first book by him that I have read to my family. That speaks to my high regard for him and his ministry. This book on kingdom prayer is no exception. This book, so well organized as to read as a personal or family devotion, is not the musings of a young Christian minister who is overly ambitious to get himself published. Actually, it's the product-indeed, the fruit-of a man who has faithfully and as deeply as any man I know availed himself to the ordinary means of grace for five-plus decades. There is no one I know in the Christian world who has memorized more Scripture, hymns, catechisms, poems, and the like, which have all greatly benefitted his own prayer life. This is the work of a man who knows the triune God. But the genius of Orrick's work is that he can take the deepest and most profound insights that would edify the most mature of Christians and communicate those very truths in such a way that a young Christian, even one who is not yet a Christian, could understand. In other words, this book is for everyone.- Brian Payne, Professor of Christian theology and expository preaching at Boyce College\nSearching for great resources to disciple new believers can be like Goldilocks tasting porridge. Too difficult, and it frustrates; too fluffy, and it misleads. Jim Orrick has that much sought-after gift of taking deep truths and bringing the tray to the common man. When a book can be handed to an unbeliever for evangelism, read through with a new believer to disciple, worked through with the family for worship, and also delight the soul of the seasoned in Christ, it is a helpful book.- Josh Lagrange, Church planter\nAs Christians, we are a naturally sinful and forgetful people who consistently need to be reminded of the power of prayer. Following the outline of the Lord's Prayer, Jim Orrick has written a profound yet practical resource detailing seven distinct ways in which prayer sanctifies the Christian on a daily basis. Seven Thoughts Every Christian Ought to Think Every Day encouraged me to depend even more fully on my Father's sustaining grace in my life and ministry, and for that I am deeply thankful.- James H. Winfrey, Missionary mobilizer, Reaching & Teaching\nChristian prayer should not feel like a performance marked by a sense of pressure and failure. Instead, it's an open invitation to speak with our heavenly Father. With his own fatherly wisdom, Jim Orrick helps us see how God gently uses prayer to change us. The book is flavored with pithy proverbs, colorful stories, and earthy illustrations that help the truth take root in our hearts. Over and over, I was refreshed and encouraged by Orrick's many insights gleaned from decades of walking closely with God.- David Gundersen, Pastor, BridgePoint Bible Church\nWhen the Holy Spirit gives new life to a person, he fundamentally changes how that person thinks and what he thinks. The Spirit changes him into a person with the capacity to live in communion with God. At the same time, the Spirit creates in us a yearning to enjoy God's presence through prayer. But how do we pray? When the disciples asked Jesus this question, he responded by giving them a model prayer to use as a guide to help them pray. This model prayer is commonly called The Lord's Prayer. The Lord's Prayer is extremely brief, but it is a perfect summary of what a Christian ought to think and pray every day. 
In Seven Thoughts Every Christian Ought to Think Every Day, Jim Scott Orrick examines the seven thoughts that lead Christians to pray guided by the model prayer. You might think of this book as a prequel to the Lord's Prayer. Without the underlying thoughts of a renewed nature, simply repeating the Lord's Prayer becomes an instance of the empty, meaningless prayers that Jesus was teachin

At first glance, it appears that social justice and Christianity have a lot in common. They seem to share a few mutual concerns: they're both opposed to bigotry, racism, and oppression; they are mutually concerned for the needy, the afflicted, and the less fortunate within society; and they both seek to resolve conflict as they aspire after unity and peace. And with these shared concerns, it is tempting for Christians to buy into the validity of social justice. But as Jeffrey D. Johnson clearly and succinctly explains in just a few short chapters, social justice is incompatible with Christianity. Johnson takes us through the history of social justice and helps us understand its complex issues. This is a brief, to-the-point handbook every Christian should read to understand how contemporary definitions of social justice differ from what the Bible teaches about justice and how social justice seeks to destroy individual rights and the authority of the nuclear family and the conservative church.

In Let the Little Children Come, Scott Aniol strives to convince church leaders and parents that children best grow into faithful, mature worshipers of Jesus Christ when they are led to Jesus by their parents in the context of intergenerational church gatherings and in daily worship at home. In Part 1, Scott presents biblical and theological reasons families should worship together both on Sundays and the other six days too, addressing common objections and suggesting some practical ways family worship might be recovered. In Part 2, Scott then offers practical tips and myriads of resources for engaging children in church worship as well as family worship at home.

Product Description A new Christ-focused, Scripture-filled resource for family worship. In 2003, inspired by USAF Colonel Rick Husband of the space shuttle Columbia, A.J. Genco set out to write a devotional for his own family, laboring over it for ten years. Yet when he had barely finished, he was taken from this earth by a sudden illness. Though this devotional was never intended for publication, A.J.'s widow desired for it to be published to honor his legacy. Now not only may you and your family be blessed by this resource but we also hope you would be inspired to leave a spiritual legacy for your own family.A family devotional based on a three-year cycle through the Bible"Read through the Bible" guide for parents and older childrenDaily "Family Worship" lessons for the whole familyRead a psalm or a portion of a Psalm each SundayIncludes references to the Baptist Confession of Faith and Nicene Creed Review On Your Heart is a guide for family worship based on a three-year cycle. It provides both Scripture passages to read and discussions questions to ask for each of the nearly 1100 days in the cycle. At the end of three years, you and your family will have read through and discussed the entire Bible together. This is a solid, consistent help toward a valuable and satisfying goal. If the book were nothing more than this, it would be worthy of your serious consideration. But describing On Your Heart in this way alone is like reading the description of a stranger's family tree. Without a knowledge of the people involved you can't really appreciate what you're seeing.As you'll read in more detail inside, A.J. Genco worked for ten years on this curriculum, developing and refining it as he used these pages to lead his wife and children in the daily worship of God together. After its completion, he was suddenly taken from them to heaven. But by leaving this book, he left them with much more than memories of his years of faithfulness as their family shepherd. He also left them a printed legacy they can continue to use to seek God together as a family, generation after generation.And now you can enjoy this blessing with your own family by using On Your Heart.Don WhitneyProfessor of Biblical SpiritualityAssociate Dean for the School of Theology

What if nearly everything you think you know about sickness is wrong?\nMuch of our understanding of sickness has been shaped by our self-obsessed Western culture. We see it as an enemy to be avoided or as a punishment meted out by an angry or indifferent God. We are told God has promised us lives free from disease and suffering, and when it seems those promises fail, we are left wondering how a God of love could be glorified in our own illness or in the sickness of someone we love.\nIn Viewing Sickness Biblically, Joseph Whiting draws from the wellspring of Scripture, seasoned with personal experience, to address these questions every Christian must grapple with and help show the path to a more biblical understanding of the cause, purpose, and benefits of sickness. 
Through what lens ought we see sickness, death, and the God who is in charge of it all?\nThe correct answer is sure to bring much glory to God and comfort to our souls.
