Christopher Ash faces these questions head on, without flinching at any of the difficulties.

He then reveals the Bible's answer - the revelation of God's character and purposes throughout history.

We all long for “happily ever afters”. But let’s face it, life’s just not like that! Or is it? This evangelistic book takes listeners through the Easter story.

Too many Christian men start enthusiastically, then fall short. Falling short can be a public fall: Church-going husband has an affair. High-profile ministry leader gets caught in a scandal. Outspoken advocate is marred by hypocrisy. But for most men, falling short isn’t a newsworthy spectacle. It’s subtler. Closer to home. It’s floundering in the faith. This story doesn’t make headlines, but it’s far more common. Will this be your story? Whether you are young or seasoned, married or solo, spiritually fit or totally anemic, this book was written for you.

We live in a church age of such profound apostasy that a large segment of evangelicalism is unable to biblically explain what it is to be a "Christian". This is largely due to a wholesale neglect of the doctrine of regeneration - that supernatural impartation of spiritual life to the spiritually dead that causes individuals to savingly believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and so radically transforms their natures that the very desires of their hearts and acts of their wills reflect the nature of God who has made them new creatures in Christ. This is the subject of this little book.

There is perhaps no greater example of beguiling deceit in the church today than the distortions surrounding the doctrine of sin and the power of the gospel to save sinners from it. Unfortunately, when sin is whitewashed, the Savior becomes irrelevant, regeneration unnecessary, and worldliness replaces godliness. This mini-book examines these matters in the light of Scripture to help the listener better understand the mystery of the cross and people’s desperate need for renewing and sanctifying grace.

There is perhaps no greater proof of man's innate sinfulness and hostility toward God than the staggering immorality of our culture. Most people, even many Christians, have either a distorted or a non-existent understanding of how God views his or her body, the primary focus of this book. As result, they are vulnerable to the deceptions and threats of the sexual revolutionaries. By examining and obeying God's perspective, we are equipped to navigate a culture saturated with sexual perversion and prurience, and we learn how to walk on a godly path of blessing and joy.

While there is no place in scripture where God provides any clear explanation of the origin of evil and his purposes in it, he affirms his goodness and love in virtually every segment. And when his character is properly understood, his ultimate purposes become obvious. This book helps believers rediscover these truths revealed in Scripture, that they might permeate our heart and animate our worship. Herein we can find comfort and hope in days of trouble, and glorify God come what may.

Little thought is given these days to heaven. What is given is often fanciful and fictitious. But the Bible has so much to say about the destiny of the believer! In 1645, a pastor named Richard Baxter was told he had but six months to live.
