Twisted Scriptures : Breaking Free From Churches That Abuse
$19.99
17 Chapters
Additional Info
This book is designed for those who are in “churches that abuse,” to enable them to see what is going on in their lives and thus to free themselves from such situations. It is a very practical book, which outlines, in specific terms, the tactics that cult-type manipulators use to get people into their control. Each of the seventeen chapters ends with a checklist of statements that the reader can check to see if the things that are happening in his or her religious group point to an unhealthy situation. Nearly every week the author receives phone calls or letters from people, thanking her for writing the book and for helping to straighten out their thinking so that they did not get caught up into a cult-type group. This is a practical, down-to-earth book geared to help people escape from the clutches of churches that abuse and manipulate.

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.
