Andy Bannister brings you this fully updated and revised book, with new chapters, new resources, and new comedy. The Atheist Who Didn't Exist is designed for curious people to tug at the loose threads of atheism and see if it unravels.

Cobb draws on his extensive experience as managing partner of the Finishing Fund, weaving together inspiring stories of transformed lives in remote regions with biblical insights, and offering listeners hope and practical guidance for living faithfully in these momentous days.

Nothing is more foundational to the Christian faith than Jesus’s resurrection. But subjective, emotional arguments won’t convince skeptics that the resurrection happened. What if instead we approached their questions with the unbiased, fact-based manner of a cold-case detective evaluating the scene of a crime?

Set Free is for anyone searching for answers, wrestling with doubts or wondering if real change is possible. It's about breaking free from the lies we believe—about ourselves, about God and about what will make us happy. It's also about discovering the truth, purpose and hope we were made for.

Praying in Pine Straw immerses listeners in the raw, rollicking, and deeply human world of Alabama's camp meetings—a Southern tradition where fire-and-brimstone preaching echoed through pine forests and where faith was often accompanied by contradiction. From "treeing the Devil" to "holy laughter," these revivals blended heartfelt worship with all the complications of human nature.

The true story of how a demeaning nickname opened amazing doors for the gospel—and how you can overcome your own fears in sharing your faith. Millions came under the sound of the everlasting gospel, all because of that humiliating name: Banana Man. Learn how being christened “Banana Man” by Professor Richard Dawkins and being mocked worldwide by the atheist community led to a worldwide evangelism ministry. Be inspired, fascinated and delighted while this autobiography brings your own fears into perspective.

You’ve said “yes” to God’s call to go, and now you will pack up your things and step into the unknown of a new location, people, and culture. The following years will likely include great joy, frustration, homesickness, difficulty, and excitement. In this book, ten women who have served on the mission field share what they wish they had known before they began. This book is a handbook for entering the mission field.

The nativity story is often seen as cute and cuddly and for kids. But that’s because some of what really happened at the first Christmas has been edited out of popular retellings! The full, unabridged, uncut story is full of twists and turns, controversy and mystery. This best-selling book, now revised and updated, tells listeners what really happened all those years ago, and why it really matters for our lives and futures today.

In this roadmap to spiritual growth, biblical counselor Jim Berg guides new and mature believers alike to better cultivate a deep relationship with Christ and respond wisely to God's direction for life.

Everyone takes little steps toward Jesus before they can take big steps with and for him. This is a process that starts long before people ever enter a church building, especially as the gap between the church and culture grows ever wider. This book will help equip you to handle the early stages of discipling others with care, address the stumbling blocks that hold them back, as well as redefine how you see your own identity as an ambassador of Christ.

Why is it so difficult to talk to our closest friends about what’s most important to us? Our true identity? Our hopes and dreams? Our true purpose and faith? Andy Bannister struggled with that question himself. As a twentysomething, he operated as an Undercover Christian at his job. He knew it didn’t make sense, and he spent the following decades helping countless people find easy, natural ways to talk about the fundamental questions of life with the ones they love.

We in the church do not speak the same language as the culture. We use many of the same words, but they rarely mean the same thing. And speaking louder isn't the answer. If we are to faithfully and effectively share the Good News, we have to translate Jesus. Embracing and unpacking the bilingual nature of spreading the gospel, pastor and teacher Shauna Pilgreen shows you how to learn the language of the culture so that you can clearly communicate the love of God in the three places Christ and culture meet: the gate, the cross, and the table.

What an amazing person He is. We often fail to give the Holy Spirit the credit He deserves. After helping to create the universe with God the Father, and God the Son, He was involved in the creation of mankind. The song “Caring and Sharing” sung by Chey, at the end of the message, gives the listener time to reflect on what has been said.

How do we connect the gospel message to the epidemic of shame in western culture? Trevor explores why our culture is now more shame based, and reflects on how the gospel message can make sense in this new reality. He unpacks what this means for the way we form our contemporary Christian communities while asking questions about their language, shape, style, and leadership.

Here, Eliot explores ethical problems inherent in certain strands and styles of Christian evangelical teaching—particularly as displayed in the writings of one Dr. Cumming. While Eliot’s critique is focused on the work of this particular preacher, her insights are enduringly pertinent for those interested in the politics and ethics of religious discourse today. As always, Eliot’s authorial voice is abounding in pathos and concern for contexts of human relationality.

Spend the next 30 days reaching your community in prayer and learn what it means to be a Great Commission Christian. Pray & Go is a profound and easy-to-use tool that empowers church members to focus outward and learn how to pray regularly. It’s a 30-day journey of praying and going, waiting for God and then going outside the church’s four walls in obedience to Jesus’ command.

Unlike Jesus makes a convincing and convicting case that we who love Jesus must also love the lost—and must stop cocooning ourselves within our churches. Christians need to get out more. But this doesn’t mean we become friends of the world (a decision some disciples make contrary to God’s Word and detrimental to their spiritual health).

Subversive mission is submission—to God and local leaders. Subversive mission offers a new way forward for outsiders called to crosscultural ministry by serving as humble alongsiders. Join Craig Greenfield on this inspiring journey in Asia and beyond as he rediscovers the fivefold missional gifts of apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor, and teacher, and demonstrates how each of these must look radically different in a crosscultural context. Along the way, you'll discover your own missional type through the Missional Type Inventory and come face to face with the five most common pitfalls that Westerners face in crosscultural settings.

Like Daniel in Babylon, Christians today are exiles in a hostile culture. Every day, we face the lions—the easier road of moral compromise, the lure of earthly wealth and influence, the temptation to give into our fears or our apathy. Yet we are called to obey God rather than man, and we need courage to do it. Award-winning apologist Ray Comfort wants to help you develop the fortitude to look into the mouths of lions without flinching, trusting that God will not only bring you to the other side of the trial but that he is refining you through it.

Professor and former missionary Matthew Bennett inspects the American evangelical home. Perhaps, like him, you love evangelical doctrine, love the community in which you’ve been spiritually nurtured, and want to see it again become a thriving, hospitable environment for guests. But perhaps, also like Bennett, you think the home needs some touching up before this can be true. In this book, with insights from Lesslie Newbigin, Bennett helps listeners inspect the American evangelical house through the eyes of a missionary.
