As Christians, when we take a stand for our faith, we want to avoid coming across as overly combative or adversarial. While it's important to be uncompromising when we communicate the truth, Scripture also calls us to speak the truth with love. Bridge-Building Apologetics is about establishing caring and compassionate relationships with those whom you desire to reach for Christ. Going beyond merely comparing truth with error, this accessible and informative guide shows you how to overcome relational barriers and graciously reach out to those with whom you disagree.

In this compelling and gripping book, Preston tells the story of how God chased him.

Sharing our faith is not about winning arguments; it’s about winning hearts.

We might think of systemic racism as an unfortunate part of American history, something that happened back in the day.

At the beginning of history, God established a foundational enmity between the seed of the woman and the seed of the serpent.

Does America no longer feel like home? Widespread divorce rates, the erosion of traditional marriage, the popular rise of radical ideologies, attacks on faith, and government interference are only a few of the factors contributing to the struggles of families in our culture. But it doesn't have to be this way. Like many of us, Dr. Ben Carson fears we are losing the country we love. In this provocative and ultimately hopeful book, he gives us the facts, inspiration, and theory-to-action answers we need to restore a key foundation of America: the family.

I believe in miracles because my sobriety is one. For years, I was an addict, a slave to pornography. Every time I tried to quit, it just got worse.

After years of losing the war, I finally saw that all the things I believed about pornography addiction were not true. Porn addiction is strong and derives its power by trapping its victims in thirteen lies.

In the Bible, what was the basis of the ancient people of God enjoying all the gracious promises that He gave to Abraham? Was it merely a matter of physical ancestry, or has it been (even from the book of Genesis) a matter of ethical/judicial action? Does a little Abrahamic blood in your veins buy you some sort of favor from God, even in spite of a persistent lack of faith? As we look at Deuteronomy 4:23-31, these questions are immensely relevant in our day. This is not a sermon about politics, though it does carry some obvious, political ramifications. Pastor Runyan leads us in an "...

American life today is consumed by politics. Even our churches are tearing themselves apart over political candidates, cultural flashpoints, and debates about whether certain pastors are vessels for the Holy Spirit or an unholy political agenda. So how should Christians approach our lives in this time of strife and division? How should we engage in politics and respond when we find that our beliefs are at odds with the culture? And how do we keep our focus on eternity when the present attractions of the world are there in front of us at every turn?
