A New English Translation of the Septuagint (2007)

Var. Authors | 1027 pages

Not only did Greek-speaking Jews and Gentiles highly value the Septuagint, it is more importantly the Bible Jesus and His disciples (also) read and regularly quoted from, and the Bible of Paul and of the earliest Christian missions. For 5-6 centuries this Bible text was not only predominant in use, but even the preferred source text for translations into other languages. The earliest Codices had not been penned using the Hebrew, but precisely based on the Greek text. 

Discernment required: The NETS translation still includes the Apocrypha, which had been retroactively added in Augustine's time.

Rotherham's Emphasized Bible (1959)

Var. Authors | 1208 pages

J. B. Rotherham's Emphasized Bible (EBR) is a literal word-by-word translation which uses various methods, such as "emphatic idiom" and special diacritical marks, to bring out nuances of the underlying Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic texts. It places the reader of the present time in as good a position as that occupied by the reader of the first century.

Evangullible (2023)

Warren Smith | 224 pages

Evangullible - Easily deceived by teachings that contradict the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the literal teachings of the Holy Bible.Over the last four decades, the unholy spirit and deceptive false teachings of a New Age/New Gospel have worked their way into an undiscerning and all-too-gullible church. Pastors and church leaders who years ago warned about New Age deception have hardly talked about it since. As a result, this New Gospel of the New Age is presently viewed by most believers as a long-ago past occurrence even as its overlapping terms, false teachings, and deceptive practices continue to creep into the church. Thus, while many church leaders and pastors talk about the cultural challenges of the day and the need for revival, they say almost nothing about our Adversary's spiritual schemes and devices. And while these same leaders write dramatic books and letters exhorting the church to be "courageous," to "speak out," and to "not be silenced," they have been effectively silenced themselves when it comes to spiritual deception in the church. Instead of exposing spiritual evil, contending for the faith, and fighting the good fight, they often advocate, endorse, or turn a blind eye to the very things they should be confronting.

Pressing On Through It All: Scriptural Encouragement For These Last Days (2017)

Warren Smith | 226 pages

Warren and his wife Joy have spent over thirty years actively warning about the deceptive teachings of the New Age/New Spirituality that have progressively crept into the church. For the last ten years, to offset the spiritual heaviness that often accompanies this kind of ministry, Warren has studied, compiled, and arranged certain Scriptures around specific themes that provided he and his wife with encouragement and spiritual uplift. Almost as an afterthought, these personal studies became small booklets that were made available to share with others. Warren used the theme "through it all" and hoped the booklets would bring to people the same scriptural encouragement he and Joy have received from them. May this volume of thematic scriptural inspiration comfort and strengthen you in your endeavor to keep pressing on - through it all.

The Good Shepherd Calls (2016)

Roger Oakland | 288 pages

Since the turn of the millennium, in particular since September 11, 2001 when America was attacked by terrorists triggering a global-wide spiritual paradigm shift, Christianity as we have known it has experienced a major meltdown. While many are saying Christianity is on the brink of a great revival and even a "new reformation," in reality, we are witnessing the greatest apostasy in modern-day history. This latter-day deception has impacted every evangelical and Protestant denomination to one degree or another, and it is worldwide. The sheep have been led astray by shepherds who have neglected what they have been called to do—protect the sheep. The Good Shepherd Calls brings clarity to what this delusion looks like, why it is happening, where it is headed, and what can still be done to warn believers and unbelievers alike.

What Love Is This? Calvinism's Misrepresentation of God (2013)

Dave Hunt | 546 pages

Many sincere, Bible-believing Christians are Calvinists only by default. Thinking that the only choice is between Calvinism (with its presumed doctrine of eternal security) and Arminianism (with its teaching that salvation can be lost), and confident of Christ's promise to keep eternally those who believe in Him, they therefore consider themselves to be Calvinists. 

It takes only a few simple questions to discover that most Christians are largely unaware of what John Calvin and his early followers of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries actually believed and practiced. Nor do they fully understand what most of today's leading Calvinists believe. 

It is our prayer that this volume will enable readers to examine more carefully the vital issues involved and to follow God's holy Word­—not man's teachings."

Narrow Gate Narrow Path (2018)

Paul Washer | 40 pages

Talk is cheap, and so is a profession of faith apart from repentance. But we live in a day when people put more stock in a once-said prayer than a life reflective of a renewed heart. Taking Mat 7:13-27 as his text, Paul Washer reminds us of Jesus's insistence that His way is narrow, and that its travelers will bear good fruit and rest on the solid foundation of God's Word. Neglecting these warnings from Christ has left many on the broad road to destruction. Don't think you are heading to Heaven if you are not following the way of the Master.

Passions of the Hearth (2018)

John Street | 308 pages

John Street takes a hard look at the passions of the heart: the underlying idolatries that lead Christians to commit egregious sexual sins. And he shows that there is hope. These passions can be identified and resisted - and they can be forgiven, even if acted on. Jesus not only forgives the repentant sinner but also restores, giving men and women abundant grace and strength to say no to the fleshly desires and humbly live for him. A life enslaved in sexual sin can become a life lived to the honor and glory of God.

Simple Answers: Understanding the Catholic Faith (2017)

Ray Yungen | 162 pages

The evangelical church is at a crucial point in its history. There are many voices crying out for a dramatic change in the way evangelicals have traditionally viewed Catholicism; these voices are taking the church in a radically different direction, one that fits in with Bible prophecy.

It is not just a fluke or an aberration that the evangelical churches and the Catholic Church are coming into alignment with each other. The Catholic Church is taking a softer view of the evangelical church, and the evangelical church is starting to downplay the traditional and significant differences that have kept it at bay with the Roman Catholic Church.

Anyone But Me (2020)

Ray Comfort | 192 pages

Fear is the primary reason we fail to share the gospel with our friends, family, and coworkers. We're afraid of looking weird or out of touch, to not have the right answers to their questions.

Our discomfort feels bigger than our loved ones' ultimate destination if they remain outside of the body of Christ.

Apologist Ray Comfort shows you how to overcome your fears by developing ten critical, biblical characteristics so that you can confidently share the message of salvation with those you care about most. Now is the time to begin becoming the faithful witness they need. Because we never know how much more time we will have to proclaim God's Good News.

The Christ Key (2021)

Chad Bird | 200 pages

What Christians today call the Old Testament is what Jesus and the earliest believers simply called the Scriptures. That was their Bible. From its pages, they taught about the Messiah's divine nature, his priestly work, his ministry of salvation. The Christ Key will reintroduce readers to these old books as ever-fresh, ever-new testimonies of Jesus. By the end, you will see even Leviticus as a book of grace and mercy, and you will hear in the Psalms the resounding voice of Christ.

With gentle clarity and biblical wisdom, Costi explains how to pray for healing while submitting to God's sovereignty, navigate tough conversations about the topic, and hold on to faith even in the most painful trials.

After interviewing some of the world's leading archaeologists, he comes to a profound question: What if the experts have been looking for evidence in the wrong time period?

For Many Shall Come in My Name (2012)

Most people believe the New Age has been long gone from our society, and if practiced at all now it is only by unconventional fringe types. For Many Shall Come in My Name reveals this is not the case. In fact, quite the opposite has occurred.

Talking About Race (2022)

Isaac Adams | 240 pages

In this honest and hopeful book, pastor Isaac doesn't just show you how to have the race conversation, he begins it for you. By offering a fictional, racially charged tragedy in order to understand varying perspectives and responses, he examines what is at stake if we ignore this conversation, and why there's just as much at stake in how we have that discussion, especially across color lines - that is, with people of another ethnicity. This unique approach offers insight into how to listen to one another well and seek unity in Christ. Looking to God's Word, Christians can find wisdom to speak gracefully and truthfully about racism for the glory of God, the good of their neighbors, and the building up of the church.

Same Words, Different Worlds (2021)

Leonardo Chirico | 160 pages

The book explores whether Evangelicals and Catholics have the same gospel if they have core commitments that contradict. It lays out how the words used to understand the gospel are the same but differ drastically in their underlying theology.

With keen insight, De Chirico looks at various aspects of Roman Catholic theology - including Mary, the intercession of the saints, purgatory and papal infallibility - from an Evangelical perspective to argue that theological framework of Roman Catholicism is not faithful to the biblical gospel. Only by understanding the real differences can genuine dialogue flourish.

As the deceptions in his past were exposed, Costi came face to face with the hypocrisy and devastation caused by his belief system, and the overwhelming truth about the real Jesus Christ.

The Titanic and Today's Church: A Tale of Two Shipwrecks (2020)

It has been well-documented how pride, false confidence, complacency, disregarded warnings, and general unpreparedness all played a part in the Titanic shipwreck. Those in charge had underestimated the physical danger in their midst. Sadly, today's professing church shares many of these same characteristics as it similarly underestimates the spiritual danger in its midst.

Powerful Prayers in the War Room (1996)

David Pawson | 192 pages

The majority of Evangelical view is that once someone has accepted Christ as Saviour they are guaranteed salvation. But is it safe to assume that once we are saved, we are saved for always?

David Pawson investigated this through biblical evidence, historical figures such as Augustine, Luther and Wesley, and evangelical assumptions about grace and justification, divine sovereignty and human responsibility. He asks whether something more than being born again is required so that our inheritance is not lost. This book helps us to deicde whether 'once saved, always saved' is real assurance or a misleading assumption. The answer will have profound effects on the way we live and disciple others.

Faith Undone (2007)

Roger Oakland | 224 pages

Is the emerging church movement just another passing fad, a more contemporary approach to church, or the discontent grumblings of young people looking for answers? In fact, it is much broader and is influencing Christianity to a significant degree. Grounded in a centuries-old mystical approach, this movement is powerful yet highly deceptive, and it draws its energy from practices and experiences that are foreign to biblical Christianity. The path the emerging church is taking is leading right into the arms of an interfaith perspective that has prophetically profound ramifications. It is indeed a new way of being Christians, and in every conceivable manner, it is striving to bring about a new reformation. Without a doubt, it will have an impact on all churches in the Western world and far beyond. For behind this new kind of church is a well-designed strategy and maneuver by the prince of this world, the enemy of our souls, to literally take apart the faith of millions - it will be nothing less than faith undone.

Calvinism: None Dare Call It Heresy: Spotlight on the Life and Teachings of John Calvin (2018)

Bob Kirkland | 130 pages

Today, a growing number of churches, ministries, and Christian colleges are promoting Calvinism. While Calvinist scholars claim that Calvinism is complex, the rudiments of it are very basic, and it can be readily understood.

To call something heresy is clearly a strong accusation and should never be done flippantly. For something to be heresy, it must deviate from the fundamental teachings of the Bible. And nothing can be more serious than a deviation from the Gospel itself. Calvinism does present "another gospel."

John Calvin taught that God will be glorified by bringing billions of people into this world for no other purpose than having them burn in Hell for eternity. This alone depicts a view of God found nowhere in Scripture; in essence, this misrepresents God but also creates a platform upon which "another gospel" has been built that is both fatalistic and makes the sacrifice of Christ no longer freely available to "whosoever may come." Salvation is no longer a matter of choice. Furthermore, the Calvinist can never actually know if he or she is one of "the elect" thereby placing the Calvinist "Gospel" on a foundation of doubt rather than true biblical belief in the substitutionary sacrifice of Christ at Calvary. If that is not heresy, then what is?

Aging With Grace (2021)

Betters & Hunt | 192 pages

Whatever season of life you're in, God has equipped you to flourish―to live in the transforming power and beauty of his grace. As we age, we can easily lose sight of this message as cultural ideals glorifying youth take center stage.

In this book, Sharon W. Betters and Susan Hunt offer present-day and biblical examples of women who rediscovered gospel-rooted joy later in their lives. Equipped with a biblical view of aging, the book will help you encounter afresh the gospel that "is big enough, good enough, and powerful enough to make every season of life significant and glorious."

Bound Together (2013)

Chris Brauns | 208 pages

Why should a child suffer because of the choices of his parents? And on a grander scale, why do we all suffer the curse of Adam's sin? Why should anyone be judged for someone else's sin? Chris Brauns unpacks the truth that we are bound to one another and to the whole of creation. He calls this, "the principle of the rope." Grasping this foundational principle sheds new light on marriage, the dynamics of family relationships, and the reason why everyone lives with the consequences of the sins that others commit. Brauns shows how the principle of the rope is both bad news and good news, revealing a depth to the message of the gospel that many of us have never seen before.

Stop Asking Jesus Into Your Heart (2013)

J.D. Greear | 144 pages

In Stop Asking Jesus Into Your Heart, J. D. shows that faulty ways of presenting the gospel are a leading source of the confusion.

The idea of "asking Jesus into your heart" or "giving your life to Jesus" often gives false assurance to those who are not saved-and keeps those who genuinely are saved from fully embracing that reality.

Plantinga pulls the ancient doctrine of sin out of mothballs and presents it to contemporary readers in clear language, drawing from a wide range of books, films, and other cultural resources.

Her name is Dinah. In the Bible, her life is only hinted at in a brief and violent detour within the more familiar chapters of the Book of Genesis that are about her father, Jacob, and his dozen sons. Told in Dinah's voice, this novel reveals the traditions and turmoils of ancient womanhood - the world of the red tent. It begins with the story of her mothers -Leah, Rachel, Zilpah, and Bilhah - the four wives of Jacob. 

Deeply affecting, The Red Tent combines rich storytelling with a valuable achievement in modern fiction: a new view of biblical women's society.
