What do you stand for? For truth? For Jesus? For traditional marriage? Pro-life? A large population of Christians say they stand for what the Bible teaches, yet, when challenged, they can't articulate what that exactly is. Millennials find this same group of Christians to be rigid, judgmental, condescending, and just plain intolerant of their emergent views. In all the posts, tweets, podcasts, and sound bites from political pundits, there is an absence of Christians standing strong in their faith. The presence and voice of Christianity is being flooded out by other growing religions and ideologies. So where does that leave Christianity? If you desire to stand strong in your faith-to know what you believe and why it's important in your everyday life, this book is for you. Be inspired to live what you believe as you learn about these and other topics: Religious freedom or religious discrimination Six Christian duties no one else can do for you The role of the Holy Spirit in a believer's life Do we all worship the same God? How to be fearless in the midst of fear Did Jesus really rise from the dead? How can I know if the Bible is true? What's the best way to study the Bible? It's not enough to say you're a Christian. In Stand Strong in Your Faith, authors Jason Jimenez and Alex McFarland share bold truth that will take you from saying you believe to actually living what you believe with confidence and passion.

Popular Apologist Corrects the Record on What Christianity Is All AboutThe Christianity our culture rejects may not be true Christianity at all. So many people today believe they have to be good to be accepted by God, or that the Bible is just a list of do's and don'ts, or that God is far away and unapproachable. Instead of providing "proofs" about God and the Bible, in this book Alex provides a reason to want to know Jesus. By sharing his own story of the loneliness and alienation of his youth, Alex taps in to universal fears of rejection and loneliness. We all seek acceptance and purpose--and there's only one solution. Learn how to be anchored in the Truth and security that comes through Christ.

Is agreeing to disagree good enough for God's family? Christians don't necessarily agree with each other when it comes to questions of religious pluralism, homosexuality, the role of government, abortion, and war. Too often, we manage these disagreements by ignoring them. Yet we are called to engage the world for the sake of Christ. How can we be effective if we avoid society's most pressing questions? In 10 Issues That Divide Christians, Alex McFarland challenges Christ-followers to drill down to the biblical core of ten current issues--such as social justice, evil and suffering, pornography, and environmentalism, among others--and echoes the biblical invitation: "Come let us reason together." Only by engaging the Scriptures deeply, thinking clearly, and speaking truthfully can we in God's family address our differences and discover the peace that comes with unity of purpose. With the Bible as our guidebook and the Spirit as our guide, we can respond to today's urgent questions with the mind of Christ.
