Total Truth: Liberating Christianity from Its Cultural Captivity (Nancy Pearcey)
$23.99Does God belong in the public arena of politics, business, law, and education? Or is religion a private matter only-personally comforting but publicly irrelevant? In today’s cultural etiquette, it is not considered polite to mix public and private, or sacred and secular.
This division is the single most potent force keeping Christianity contained in the private sphere-stripping it of its power to challenge and redeem the whole of culture. In Total Truth, Nancy Pearcey offers a razor-sharp analysis of the public/private split, explaining how it hamstrings our efforts at both personal and cultural renewal.

Our Heavenly Shepherd: Comfort and Strength from Psalm 23 (Ian Hamilton)
$8.75Psalm 23 is probably the best known and most read passage in the Bible – a wonderfully reassuring picture of the believer’s life. Through it we learn the Lord God almighty is the faithful, heavenly Shepherd of his sheep – not only faithfully leading his sheep in life but also through the valley of the shadow of death – bringing them into his house where he will dwell with them forever.
Reflecting on Psalm 23 verse by verse will help us see how rich and privileged the believer’s life is as we learn how personally God is committed to protect and bring his people to be with him to heaven.
