Christian Worldview
A biblical worldview: what exactly is that? George Barna recently wrote, “Although most people own a Bible and know some of its content, our research found that most Americans have little idea how to integrate core biblical principles to form a unified and meaningful response to the challenges and opportunities of life.” The center of it is to know that we are given life by our Creator in order to love, worship, and serve Him; and viewing that as only possible through knowing Him as we have been redeemed by the Lord Jesus Christ. Everything else follows, affecting how we work, marry, rest, even think. Here are books which explore the large realm of those topics.

Divided Nation (Ken Ham)
Has the Church Lost its Influence?
We live in a nation divided across political, racial, cultural, and even religious lines. Can the church regain a position of influence among young people seeking “truth” while rejecting God’s Word?
Christian families are asking, “How do I stop my kids or my grandkids from being swept away by this moral relativism tornado? Ken Ham, one of the top biblical apologetic speakers in North America, calls for a Reformation to get God’s people back to the authority of the Word of God beginning in Genesis.
“These are perilous times for the Church … Every committed Christian needs a copy of this timely book!” Heidi St. John – Author, Speaker

Does God Care about Gender Identity? (Samuel D. Ferguson)
Since the beginning of humanity, people have recognized the distinct creation of the male and female gender in God’s design. But with today’s gender revolution, people are increasingly questioning who they are designed to be. In our society, gender identity has been divorced from biology and rerooted in psychology. Do the core teachings of the Bible uphold these modern ideas?
In this concise booklet, Samuel Ferguson carefully and compassionately compares the core beliefs and practices of the transgender movement with fundamental truths expressed in Scripture. Ferguson argues human identity is not determined by the individual but is given to us by our Creator, who designed our bodies and minds with purpose and encourages us to live in Christlikeness—choosing the path of God-given transformation over man-made transition.

Rosenberg, based in Jerusalem, skillfully and clearly explains the sometimes-encouraging, sometimes-violent, yet rapidly shifting landscape in Israel and the Arab/Muslim world. Enemies and Allies will take readers behind closed doors in the Middle East and introduce them to the very kings and crown princes, presidents and prime ministers who are leading the change.
