Body Of Proof
$15.99
Culture is doing its best to convince the world there is nothing special about Jesus. Compounding this is the failure of most churches to grow their followers’ faith beyond a Sunday school understanding. As a result, the most important historical fact of the Christian faith is often the most misunderstood, relegated to Easter and funeral pep talks: the resurrection. And it’s creating a powerless Christianity.
Dr. Jeremiah Johnston, an acclaimed apologist and scholar, sets out to prove why Christ’s victory over death is central to a believer’s faith. Straightforward, accessible, and practical, this book examines the latest archaeological and textual findings and presents seven tangible, fresh proofs that Jesus really rose from the dead–and why it matters today. When you fully understand the implications of the resurrection, you will begin to understand the power of Christ in you. And it changes everything.

Surprised By Hope
$15.99For years Christians have been asking, “If you died tonight, do you know where you would go?” It turns out Christians have been giving the wrong answer. It is not heaven.
One of today’s premier Bible scholars and award-winning author N.T. Wright outlines the present confusion about a Christian’s future hope and shows how it is deeply intertwined with how we live today. Wright shows that Christianity’s most distinctive idea is bodily resurrection. First, he provides a magisterial defense of a literal resurrection of Jesus himself. This became the cornerstone for the Christian community’s hope in the bodily resurrection of all people at the end of the age. Next Wright explores our expectation of “new heavens and new earth,” showing what happens to the dead until then and what will happen with the “second coming” of Jesus. For many, including many Christians, all this will come as a great surprise.
Wright convincingly argues that what we believe about life after death directly affects what we believe about life before death. For if God intends to renew the whole creation – and if this has already begun in Jesus’s resurrection – the church cannot stop at “saving souls” but must anticipate the eventual renewal by working for God’s kingdom in the wider world, bringing healing and hope in the present life.
Lively and accessible, this book will surprise and excite all who are interested in the meaning of life, not only after death but, before it.
