Post Modern Predicament
$24.95
Society no longer encourages wonder or spending time pondering the big questions of life. Indeed, the childlike gifts of curiosity and gratitude have been trampled over by technology and benumbed by complacency.
In these engaging pages, Bobby Angel reveals how and why your life has meaning. Drawing from major thinkers from ancient to modern times, personal stories, historical lessons, and popular movies, he assists the layperson in absorbing vital philosophical concepts in an easily digestible way.
As you learn to examine how your thinking defines you, you will awaken from the widespread postmodern slumber in which we collectively find ourselves and learn to navigate life boldly in our strange world. By sharing his unique perspective, Angel aims to revive the joy of contemplating the good, the true, and the beautiful with Christ as the prism.
You will discover practical antidotes for overcoming nihilism, social isolation, and relativism and will also come to grasp:
*The main principles of the four “big movements” in philosophy
*The relationship between faith and reason, from medieval philosophy to the present
*The lasting effects of the Enlightenment
*The fatal flaws of postmodernist views on the dignity of the human person, contemporary art, and politics
We can’t go backward to either a medieval or Enlightenment worldview, Angel argues, because the postmodern genie is out of the bottle. But take courage, for you have been created to live in these times. In our era of deconstruction, you can hold fast to the light amid the gathering darkness, draw upon the important lessons of the past, and reground yourself in order to flourish. The human blueprint is not destroyed. God is not dead. The truth has not been eradicated.

Women Of The Bible Speak
$26.99The women of the Bible lived timeless stories–by examining them, we can understand what it means to be a woman of faith.
People unfamiliar with Scripture often assume that women play a small, secondary role in the Bible. But in fact, they were central figures in numerous Biblical tales. It was Queen Esther’s bravery at a vital point in history which saved her entire people. The Bible contains warriors like Jael, judges like Deborah, and prophets like Miriam. The first person to witness Jesus’ resurrection was Mary Magdalene, who promptly became the first Christian evangelist, eager to share the news which would change the world forever.
In The Women of the Bible Speak, Fox News Channel’s Shannon Bream opens up the lives of sixteen of these Biblical women, arranging them into pairs and contrasting their journeys. In pairing their stories, Shannon helps us reflect not only on the meaning of each individual’s life, but on how they relate to each other and to us.
From the shepherdesses of ancient Israel who helped raise the future leaders of the people of God, to the courageous early Christians, the narrative of the Bible offers us many vivid and fascinating female characters. In their lives we can see common struggles to resist bitterness, despair, and pride, and to instead find their true selves in faith, hope, and love. In studying these heroes of the faith, we can find wisdom and warnings for how to better navigate our own faith journeys.
The Women of the Bible Speak outlines the lessons we can take from the valor of Esther, the hope of Hannah, the audacity of Rahab, and the faith of Mary. In broadening each woman’s individual story, Shannon offers us a deeper understanding of each, and wisdom and insights that can transform our own lives today.
