New English Translation of the Septuagint (NETS, 2007)

Var. Translators | 1027 pages

Not only did Greek-speaking Jews and Gentiles highly value the Greek Old Testament, 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 Modern Hebrew, but precisely based on the Greek text.

* Discernment required: The NETS translation still includes the Apocrypha, which had been retroactively added (393 - 1885 AD).

The Apostolic Bible Polyglot (ABP, 2006)

Charles Van Der Pool | 1744 pages

The Apostolic Bible Polyglot is unique in combining the Greek Old and New Testament in an Interlinear Bible numerically coded to the Strong's concordance.

Although not well known, it represents one of the most reliable Bible translations available today. It is one of the few Bible translations where one single translator guarantees continuity, and one of the few Septuagint translations where the author intentionally and correctly did not include the Apocrypha. In this combination, it surely has to be counted amongst the most divinely inspired Bibles in all over the world.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Once Saved, Always Saved? (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 decide 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.

Same Words, Different Worlds (2021)

Leonardo Chirico | 160 pages

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

Warren Smith | 259 pages

It has been well-documented how pride, false confidence, complacency, disregarded warnings, and general unpreparedness all played a part in the Titanic shipwreck.

Richard Rohr and the Enneagram Secret (2015)

Veinot & Montenegro | 154 pages

The claims for the Enneagram are simple. Supposedly it is an ancient tool used by some of the Early Church Fathers. It is claimed to be the "face of God" and each Enneagram number is an individual spiritual path to deeper spiritual understanding and fuller self-awareness. But what if this is one of the largest deceptions we have seen perpetrated on the church in a very long time?

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.

The Whole Armor of God (2019)

Iain Duguid | 128 pages

The Christian life is a battle. We are in a daily struggle against the world, sin, and Satan.

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

Bob Kirkland | 130 pages

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?

Head Covering: A Forgotten Christian Practice for Modern Times (2016)

Jeremy Gardiner | 144 pages

Have you ever wondered why some women cover their heads in church, while men remove their hats? Have you thought about what this practice means and where it came from?

In fifteen consecutive verses, the Apostle Paul explains and defends the practice of head covering. He appeals to apostolic tradition, to the created roles of men and women, to angels, to nature, and to the church's exclusive position on this topic.

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."

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?

Douglas Woodward | 358 pages

Enneagram Theology: Is it Christian? (2021)

Rhenn Cherry | 154 pages

The enneagram has become popular among evangelical Christians as a spiritualized personality typology that claims to help people better understand themselves and others. Several influential evangelical Christian leadership ministries have promoted the enneagram as a tool in forming and maintaining effective ministry teams, and the personality typology is now taught and embraced at several Christian universities. But uncertainty exists about the appropriateness of referring to the Enneagram as a Christian tool. Are pastors and Christian institutional leaders aware of the theology associated with the Enneagram? The book provides a biblical critique of the Enneagram's underlying theology and exposes not only its foundational theological contradictions with orthodox evangelical theology but also some potential dangers to the church.

In lively, layman's terms, Lennox guides us through the key points in Hawking's arguments - with clear explanations of the latest scientific and philosophical methods and theories - and demonstrates that far from disproving a Creator God, they make His existence seem all the more probable.

Translation and Survival: The Greek Bible of the Ancient Jewish Diaspora (2009)

Tessa Rajak | 420 pages

The translation of the Ancient Hebrew Bible into Greek was the first major translation in Western culture. Its significance was far-reaching. Without a Greek Bible, European history would have been entirely different - no Western Jewish diaspora and no Christianity. Translation and Survival is a literary and social study of the ancient creators and receivers of the translations, and about their impact. The Greek Bible served Jews who spoke Greek, and made the survival of the first Jewish diaspora possible; indeed, the translators invented the term 'diaspora'. It was a tool for the preservation of group identity and for the expression of resistance. It invented a new kind of language and many new terms. The Greek Bible translations ended up as the Christian Septuagint, taken over along with the entire heritage of Hellenistic Judaism, during the process of the Church's long-drawn-out parting from the Synagogue. Here, a brilliant creation is restored to its original context and to its first owners.

They assess what each movement believes, why they are attractive to so many, and how Christians can respond with grace and truth.

The Believer's Conditional Security (1997)

Daniel Corner | 801 pages

This book will take the reader from the origin of eternal security or Once-Saved, Always-Saved (OSAS) to the present time, as the contemporary OSAS teachers of our day are quoted hundreds of times and their teachings are examined under the light of God's truth. If you are like many, among other things, you will be shocked to learn that the teaching of OSAS is sometimes equated to grace and the Gospel! Furthermore, the chapters exposing Calvin's dark side and unmasking the Synod of Dort (1618-1619), will give a factual, historical account that seems to be little known in our day. But most importantly, hundreds of Scriptures are cited in both offensive and defensive ways that will substantiate The Believer's Conditional Security.
