By The Hand Of Providence
$19.99
The true drama of how faith motivated America’s Founding Fathers, from the Declaration of Independence to the signing of Britain’s peace treaty.
The exciting chronicle that began with Forged in Faith continues in By the Hand of Providence-the remarkable story of how faith molded the American nation during the eventful years of war and nation building. From key Revolutionary War battles and the actions of Congress to the eventual American military victory, the drafting of the Constitution, and the installation of a national government, Rod Gragg records the hair-raising events that led George Washington to declare that he could “trace the finger of Providence” throughout the seminal moments that gave birth to the United States.
Based on meticulous research into the correspondence and documentation of the founding fathers from the Declaration of Independence to Cornwallis’s surrender at Yorktown, By the Hand of Providence sheds new light on how the Judeo-Christian worldview influenced America’s independence, inspired our foundational documents, and established our nation as we know it today. Written with the pacing of an enticing thriller, it offers a compelling mix of dramatized story, action-driven narrative, and the trademark authenticity and academic verity of celebrated historian Rod Gragg.

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.
