This isn’t another feel-good Christian book—it’s an unfiltered, unapologetic guide to dying to yourself. Blending storytelling, raw liturgy, and counter-cultural faith, Joshua Porter rips through the safe, sanitized versions of Christianity and reclaims the gritty, disruptive truth of the gospel. How to Die weaves together biblical narrative, ancient creeds, and personal story in a way that dares us to reconsider what it means to follow Jesus.

Jesus is well aware of the games people play with spiritual things. He wants none to mistake what it means to be his follower. Many will claim to love him. Many will pretend to love him. Many will talk about loving him. Many will analyze what it means to love him. However, a Christian is distinguished and defined by one, and only one, thing: Obedience. Obedience to the Commands of Jesus is a daily, moment-by-moment choice. We make it over and over. We are continually making it. It is a progressive and ongoing choice that defines what it means to love Jesus and be his follower.

In A Christian Manifesto, Francis Schaeffer issues a call to action for Christians to display the power of the truth of the gospel for both the individual and society through consistent teaching and action.

Many of us experience loneliness and isolation, even in our church communities. Churches often emphasize increasing knowledge rather than encouraging believers to foster deep, authentic connections that reflect the heart of God. We sometimes forget that both are important if we want to experience vibrant spiritual growth. In The Power of Together, Jim Putman invites you to develop deeper, more meaningful relationships within your church community and to move beyond superficial interactions to form genuine bonds.

From the classroom to mainstream media, Christians regularly find their fundamental beliefs discounted by opponents who consider faith to be incompatible with reason. Faith is viewed as subjective, emotional, and a crutch for those who find the real world too hard. The late R. C. Sproul, however, claims faith reveals just how rational Christianity truly is. This audiobook surveys the history and fundamentals of apologetics to demonstrate how reason and scientific inquiry actually support Christianity's claims—thus equipping believers to defend the existence of God and the Bible's authority.
