Book excerpt: Today in America, many Christians feel disillusioned as they watch the faith they hold dear being used to further a worldly political agenda. It is as if our religion has been taken hostage: forcibly wedded to a particular political ideology or economic system, or stripped down to a couple of hot-button issues, like abortion and same-sex marriage, as though to oppose these were the sum of our faith. Ironically, in our efforts to “take back America,” we have ourselves been taken captive by the prevailing culture and politics of imperialism, greed, racism, and xenophobia that surround us. And so the struggle for the soul of a nation has also become a struggle for the soul of the church. How can we regain a political voice that is neither power-hungry nor passive, neither conservative nor liberal, but simply Christlike in its concern for justice and the poor? Evangelical pastor and author S.J. Munson explores these issues from the perspective of both the Bible and history. What these have to say will both surprise and challenge us. Each chapter includes questions for group discussion or personal reflection, and a prayer. A great book for small groups or individual study!

Book excerpt: In 1993, Andrew Brunson was asked to travel to Turkey, the largest unevangelized country in the world, to serve as a missionary. Though hesitant because of the daunting and dangerous task that lay ahead, Andrew and his wife, Norine, believed this was God's plan for them. What followed was a string of threats and attacks, but also successes in starting new churches in a place where many people had never met a Christian. As their work with refugees from Syria, including Kurds, gained attention and suspicion, Andrew and Norine acknowledged the threat but accepted the risk, determining to stay unless God told them to leave. In 2016, they were arrested. Though the State eventually released Norine, who remained in Turkey, Andrew was imprisoned. Accused of being a spy and being among the plotters of the attempted coup, he became a political pawn whose story soon became known around the world. God's Hostage is the incredible true story of his imprisonment, his brokenness, and his eventual freedom. Anyone with a heart for missions, especially to the Muslim world, will love this tension-laden and faith-laced book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We must be reminded that there are forces outside the church warring against us. These forces at times can be and are merciless and treacherous. But we are informed through the word of God that we are more that conquerors in Christ Jesus. It is not just the outside forces which attack the church that present obstacles to the church that we want to emphasize and recognize, but primarily the inside forces that corrode and erode the infrastructure of the small church. It is tragic enough to deal with trouble from outside of the church, but it's worse when those who should work for the well-being of the church become part of the problem and not part of the solution. It's not the circumstances of life that people have little or no control over that directly holds the small church hostage, but it's the circumstances in life that people have a reasonable amount of, or a lot of control of, that holds the small church hostage. Through these writings, awareness, and enlightenment will come to this devastating quagmire that plagues many of our churches. We will no longer continue to be in danger of being The Church Held Hostage.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On November 26, 2005 Christian Peacemaker Teams (CPT) members Tom Fox and Jim Loney along with delegation members Norman Kember and Harmeet Sooden were kidnapped in Iraq. Tom Fox was killed on March 9, 2006. Jim, Norman and Harmeet were freed two weeks later on March 23 after 118 days of captivity. The kidnapping of these four men was like a rock thrown into a pond. This book describes the ripples on the water, the impact and results of that rock. Ripples in the lives of CPT teams and the communities in which they work. Ripples among families and friends of those taken. Ripples across the world in faith communities, prisons, in the media and among their audiences, and in the lives of the four men. Dozens of Muslim leaders who knew CPT's peacemaking work courageously called for the release of the CPT delegation. Christian leaders in turn called for justice for the 14,000 Iraqis held by Multinational Forces in Iraq without charges or access to their families.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maryam Rostampour and Marziyeh Amirizadeh knew they were putting their lives on the line. Islamic laws in Iran forbade them from sharing their Christian beliefs, but in three years, they’d covertly put New Testaments into the hands of twenty thousand of their countrymen and started two secret house churches. In 2009, they were finally arrested and held in the notorious Evin Prison in Tehran, a place where inmates are routinely tortured and executions are commonplace. In the face of ruthless interrogations, persecution, and a death sentence, Maryam and Marziyeh chose to take the radical—and dangerous—step of sharing their faith inside the very walls of the government stronghold that was meant to silence them. In Captive in Iran, two courageous Iranian women recount how God used their 259 days in Evin Prison to shine His light into one of the world’s darkest places, giving hope to those who had lost everything and showing love to those in despair.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about a road traveled in my life that I didnt even know I was traveling. Being led by GOD and how every footstep is ordered was a phenomenal situation. It will bring you to tears and keep you in awe because it proves time and time again that GOD never fails us. Even when we are doing things we ought to be ashamed of. The book describes how GOD uses people, places, things, dreams, situations and circumstances to take us where we have never been before; to the land of our Father who reaches out to us with every step we take and every move we make to ensure we stay on track. How much do we really understand about being in GODs will? This book tells of a girl, and woman, myself, how I struggled (and I still do) with many different things in life and at times I want to give up because it is easier. Why do we lose hope or whatever it is inside us and therefore ending peace and joy in our lives? This book tells of encouragement, guidance and love, trials and tribulations, agony and happiness. It helps us to get back from falling into our deepest hole and live the life we are destined to live. To remember the place inside us that thrives and feeds from the presence of the Holy Spirit. This book shows a quickening in my life; an out pouring of indescribable fullness. This book is a major part of my life and this is how I was guided through to the other side.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who are you becoming? That was the question nagging pastor and author John Mark Comer. By outward metrics, everything appeared successful. But inwardly, things weren't pretty. So he turned to a trusted mentor for guidance and heard these words: 'Ruthlessly eliminate hurry from your life. Hurry is the great enemy of the spiritual life.' It wasn't the response he expected, but it continues to be the answer he needs. Too often we treat the symptoms of toxicity in our modern world instead of trying to pinpoint the cause. A growing number of voices are pointing at hurry, or busyness as a root of much evil. Within the pages of this book, you'll find a compelling emotional and spiritual case against hurry and in favour of a slower, simpler way of life.

Book excerpt: THE PROPHETS HAVE SPOKEN! The Kingdom is Near...The Message is Clear...The Time is Now! Man has hijacked the original biblical faith of the Messiah and his Apostles, and the true Judeo-Christian history behind it, separating us from our Creator. Dive into this living, breathing faith-based history which confronts our prejudices and bad misconceptions that have developed over centuries of doctrinal controversies, spiritual conflicts and bad politics masquerading as faith, keeping us from the Scripture's pure message and vision. This book is not a clinical or academic historical exercise but a refreshing return to original Bible teachings and message, including the surprising facts that some of the Early Church Fathers knew the Name of God Almighty and kept Passover and all the Feasts in the Scripture. Over the centuries, wars, politics and powerful forces of deception have conspired against the single faith vision at the Last Supper creating more than 41,000 sects and denominations of Christianity today. But now that the truth has returned, nothing will ever be the same again. We take a bold and unflinching look at how the great "bait and switch" happened; from Walking with the Almighty to walking with man. Retrace the faith journey, from Abraham the Hebrew, to his descendants the Jewish people and onwards to the Christians over the ages-all whom have been blessed by God Almighty but have also strayed and sinned against Him. Nevertheless God, in His infinite mercy, has provided a way for us to return to Him, and each other, in a worldwide community of faith, by rediscovering our spiritual DNA. Nearly 2,000 years ago, the Apostle Paul warned us about the strong delusion, that the faithful will believe a lie (2 Thessalonians 2:11), perverting the Gospel and preaching a false Jesus with a different spirit (2 Corinthians 11:4). Now in our time, this is happening before our very eyes, and the entire Christian world is blind to it! What lessons from going astray can we still learn to guide our path back to Him? And, most importantly, has the time finally come to take a stand for the truth of the original Gospel as it was before the later Judeo-Christian traditions emerged from synagogue and church? Join us on a truly global and millennia-spanning journey as the Scriptures and wider history reveal how God has left a remnant to return us from exile. From the earliest primordial moments in Genesis to the deep prophetic trends guiding us today, see how we got to where we are now and how we can come home to prepare for the Second Coming of the Messiah!
