Not Open: Win the Invisible Spiritual Culture War

Not Open challenges Christians to remain open, loving, and caring towards others, while also being not open to cultural influences that detract from biblical truths. In today's world, where only 1% of the Millennial generation and 9% of adults maintain a biblical worldview, the authors stress the importance of standing firm on the Word of God.

Culture demands acceptance of its views on morality, family, love, and spirituality, eroding the truth and power of Christian life. This book is a beacon, exposing the deceptions of compromise and urging believers to live a powerful, undiluted life through the truth of Jesus Christ and God's Word.

Join the battle against cultural compromise and embrace the powerful, life-altering path planned for you and your family.

Believing Christ: The Parable of the Bicycle and Other Good News

Author Stephen Robinson illustrates the power of the Savior as he uses analogies and parables, such as his own bicycle story, and scriptures and personal experiences in this moving, best-selling book. "Mortals have finite liabilities," he explains, "and Jesus has unlimited assets." By merging the two, exaltation can come. As long as we progress in some degree, the Lord will be pleased and will bless us. We must not only believe in Christ but also believe him — believe that he has the power to exalt us, that he can do what he claims. People will better understand the doctrines of mercy, justification, and salvation by grace after reading this book.

The Peacegiver: How Christ Offers to Heal Our Hearts and Homes

What does the atonement mean, practically speaking? How is Christ the answer to a strained relationship with a spouse, child, parent, or sibling? What if I am being mistreated—how can the atonement help me cope with that? How can I discover the desire to repent when I don’t feel the need to repent? And how can I invite others to do the same?

These are the challenging, difficult questions of daily life, questions to which the gospel must provide answers if it is to have living, cleansing, redeeming power. The Peacegiver is a book about the answers to these questions. Unlike other books about the atonement, The Peacegiver is written as an extended parable. It tells the story of a man struggling, with the help of a loved one, to come unto Christ.

In reading the rich details of his often difficult journey, we find ourselves embarked on a personal journey of our own. His questions are our questions; his problems, our problems; his discoveries, our discoveries. Along the way, the truths of the gospel are unfolded with surprising clarity and power, illuminating aspects of the atonement that few of us have ever heard or considered before.

These surprising implications show us the way to deep and lasting peace in our hearts and homes. "My peace I give unto you," the Savior declared. The Peacegiver explores in a deeply personal way what we must do to receive the peace he stands willing to give.

I Kissed Dating Goodbye: A New Attitude Toward Relationships and Romance

1997

by Joshua Harris

I Kissed Dating Goodbye offers a fresh perspective on dating and love, especially for Christians seeking to live a life of purity and integrity. In this transformative book, Joshua Harris exposes the "Seven Habits of Highly Defective Dating" and presents a realistic outline for a biblical vision of marriage.

Harris argues for a new attitude towards love, purity, and singleness, encouraging readers to view relationships from God's perspective. The book challenges the notion of love as merely a recreational activity and instead promotes it as a selfless, biblical act.

Through insightful chapters like "Guarding Your Heart" and "What Matters at Fifty", readers are guided to focus on character rather than infatuation. Harris refutes the idea that falling in love is beyond our control, advocating for guidance from scriptural truth over fleeting feelings.

His sincere belief is that purposeful singleness and integrity in dating can lead to a fulfilled marriage, in God's timing. This book is not just theory; it is a compelling call to remap romantic lives according to God's Word and provides solid, biblical alternatives to societal norms.
