Well Versed: Biblical Answers to Today’s Tough Issues

By James L. Garlow

Conservative Christians admit that they do not speak out on political or cultural issues because they do not know how to support their beliefs from a biblical basis, according to a recent poll. Instead, they remain silent on critical issues like abortion, euthanasia, marriage, and racism because they feel uninformed and ill-equipped to defend their beliefs.
 
New York Times bestselling author and pastor James L. Garlow offers the solution—a practical, biblical guide for the 21st century Christian. Well Versed informs and prepares readers to tackle the important issues of the day and engage with those around them in a loving, Scripturally-based manner. “I believe,” Garlow writes, “that the Bible speaks not merely to personal, family, and church issues, but to national, community, and governmental issues if we would take the time to listen.”

The Death of Humanity and the Case for Life

By Richard Weikart

Do you believe human life is inherently valuable? Unfortunately, in the secularized age of state-sanctioned euthanasia and abortion-on-demand, many are losing faith in the simple value of human life. To the disillusioned, human beings are a cosmic accident whose intrinsic value is worth no more than other animals.
The Death of Humanity explores our culture's declining respect for the sanctity of human life, drawing on philosophy and history to reveal the dark road ahead for society if we lose our faith in human life.

With a foreword by Eric Metaxas and an afterword by Larry King.
