Reincarnation, auras, and energizing crystals -- surely these are the stuff of fairy tales, nothing more. People don’t really speak to ancient Egyptian holy men, or listen seriously to Shirley MacLaine, for that matter -- do they? Drawing from a range of occult, pagan, and pseudo-scientific traditions, the New Age Movement is broad, diffuse, hard to nail down -- and insidiously dangerous. Its belief in the "divinity of humanity," its emphasis on "self-actualization," and its looking forward to a coming utopian "new world" have tremendous appeal. But does it have the truth?

Biblical Wisdom in a Rapidly Changing World Recent and massive technological changes in sectors such as government, surveillance, finance, energy, and warfare have left many believers feeling concerned about the spiritual and societal implications. For those seeking discernment and wisdom in navigating today’s digital world through a biblical lens, trusted Bible prophecy teacher Ron Rhodes offers both critical insight and steadfast hope. Scripture speaks of a coming world leader—the antichrist—who will deceive the nations, exercise global authority, enforce economic control, and establish a surveillance-based regime during the tribulation period.

This engaging and informative resource offers both a wake-up call and a word of hope: God’s prophetic Word is unfolding before our eyes, and believers must live wisely. You will learn how to live with discernment amid deception, delight in the imminent reality of the rapture, and devotion to the Lord who is sovereign over all.

What doctrines of the Bible are so important to salvation that there can be no compromise on them? Conviction Without Compromise explores fifteen essential doctrines of the Bible that are crucial to salvation, as reflected in the patristic creeds. The authors also identify and explain a revelation essential and an interpretation essential, providing laser-like clarity as to why these doctrines are fundamental to the Christian Faith. Conviction Without Compromise carefully differentiates these essential doctrines from nonessential ones, which—while important—do not relate specifically to salvation. This work acknowledges the diversity of views among Christians on various doctrines, while remaining anchored by the principle: “In essentials, unity; in nonessentials, liberty; and in all things, charity.”
