  40 Questions About Mormonism

  $26.99

  A Christian exploration of the LDS Church that seeks to understand, not just refute
  Many Christians struggle to form an accurate picture of the beliefs, practices, and attraction of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. 40 Questions About Mormonism addresses how the Mormon faith developed, what it teaches, and how it differs from traditional Christianity.

  Author Kyle Beshears draws on years of dialogue with LDS church members to ask and answer the most pertinent questions for understanding today’s Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, covering history, sources of authority, doctrines shared with Christianity, unique doctrines, and more. Among the questions addressed, these are included:

  *Is Mormonism just an American religion?
  *How do Latter-day Saints view the Bible?
  *What is the origin of the priesthood?
  *What is the Latter-day Saint view of Jesus Christ?
  *Why does Mormonism have temples?
  *What are concerns Latter-day Saints have about traditional Christianity?

  The historically and biblically discerning answers allow readers to better understand both traditional Christian faith and the distinctive elements of Mormonism. Readers will feel more confident forming friendships with LDS adherents, viewing them as neighbors whom God loves and witnessing to them as such. Instructor resources are available at 40questions.net.

  Engaging With Mormons

  $14.99

  A former Mormon writes an introduction to what Mormons believe and how Christians can reach out to them with the gospel.

  Many people see Mormons as just another branch of the Christian church, and to be admired, perhaps, for their family life, morality and upright culture.

  But the theology and spirituality of this cult are very far from an orthodox biblical understanding of true saving faith. And yet Christians are often fearful of engaging in conversations about the gospel with Mormons, knowing that there are suspicions and complex issues that lie beneath the surface.

  This short book is designed to help both Christians and whole churches to understand more about the beliefs, mindset and motivations of those who are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints (Mormons), and to reach out to them with the good news of the gospel.

  Written at a level that everyone can understand, this book emphasizes the importance of forming loving, honest and open relationships as part of the way we engage with our Mormon friends and neighbors, and with those who may come knocking at our doors.

  Near Christianity : How Journeys Along Jewish Christian Borders Saved My Fa

  $18.99

  This is book is an exploration of Christianity alongside Jewish guides who are well-studied in and sympathetic to Christianity, but only ever “near Christianity.” Not only did the borders created by Jews and Judaism help to define early Christianity, even today dialogue with Jewish teachers continues to reveal the very heart of Christian identity. Using his journey within historical Jesus research and New Testament studies, Anthony Le Donne illustrates the value in continued Jewish guidance for the Christian life. With the help of Jewish friends and mentors, he has embraced a deeper and more complex Christian faith and gained a better vision of the beauty and genius of Christianity, but also of its warts and failings.

  No God But One Allah Or Jesus

  $17.99

  On account of the superficial points of agreement between Islam and Christianity, many don’t see how tremendously deep the divides between them really are, and fewer still have considered the evidence for each faith. How is Jihad different from the Crusades? Can we know the life of Jesus as well as the life of Muhammad? What reason is there to believe in one faith over the other, and what difference can the Gospel really make? In No God But One, New York Times bestselling author Nabeel Qureshi takes readers on a global, historical, yet deeply personal journey to the heart of the world’s two largest religions. He explores the claims that each faith makes upon believers’ intellects and lives, critically examining the evidence in support of their distinctive beliefs. Fleshed out with stories from the annals of both religions, No God But One unveils the fundamental, enduring conflict between Islam and Christianity-directly addressing controversial topics like Jihad, the Crusades, Sharia, the Trinity, and more. Readers of Qureshi’s first book, Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus, will appreciate his careful and respectful comparison of Islam and Christianity. Both religions teach that there is No God But One, but who deserves to be worshiped, Allah or Jesus?

  Christianity Cults And The Occult Wall Chart Laminated

  $14.99

  New Cults Comparison Wall Chart: Christianity, Cults & Occult chart

  BARNA SURVEY SHOWS INFLUENCE OF THE SUPERNATURAL ON TEENS. Nearly 75% of U.S. teens have dabbled in some form of psychic activity or witchcraft, according to a new Barna survey of more than 4,000 teens.

  Occult themes, supernatural beings, witchcraft, and spell-casting, are part of American culture – including movies (such as Underworld, The Sixth Sense, The Exorcism of Emily Rose), television programs (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Ghost Whisperer), books (Harry Potter, Goosebumps), and video games (Doom, The Darkness).

  This fold-out chart clearly contrasts Christianity and 11 movements with a wide range of occult connections:
  * Freemasonry
  * Kabbalah Centre
  * Wicca/Neopaganism
  * Satanism
  * Spiritualism
  * Santeria
  * Voodoo
  * Theosophy
  * Anthroposophy
  * Rosicrucianism
  * Eckankar

  Topics compared:
  * Origins (founders, dates, headquarters)
  * Key writings
  * Key beliefs
  * Occultic practices
  * Affiliated organizations
  * Symbols and photos
  * News and controversies

  Bonus sections:
  * Astrology and Horoscopes
  * Glossary of Occult Terms
  * Scriptural Warnings on the Occult

  Some religious groups look harmless, but the Bible says their practices can be spiritually deadly! Many people are attracted to occult groups like the Kabbalah Centre because of celebrities such as Madonna and Demi Moore. Other people don’t know what’s behind Rosicrucianism and Anthroposophy until it’s too late. Pop culture glorifies Wicca and neopaganism. Christians need clear, reliable information on these and other groups to know what’s what and who’s who.

  Many American youth (73%) have engaged in at least one type of psychic or witchcraft-related activity, beyond watching a TV show or movie, or reading their horoscope.

  The Barna Group reported on the most common types of occult behaviors:
  Using a Ouija board and reading a book about witchcraft or Wicca – 30% of teens
  Playing a game featuring sorcery or witchcraft elements – 25% of teens.
  Participated in a seance- 10% of teens
  Casting a spell or mixing a magic potion – approx 8% of teens
  Having one’s palm read (30%)
  Having their fortune told (27%).
  Visiting a medium or spiritual guide (9%).
  Consulting a psychic (9%).

  Is someone you know involved with an occultic group? This unique, up-to-date chart can give you the information you need to understand, to pray, and to offer help.
