Whether you are skeptical of God's existence or seeking scientific support for your faith, The Creator and the Cosmos will enable you to see how the heavens do declare the glory of God (Ps. 19:1).

Most of us remember the basics from science classes about how Earth came to be the only known planet that sustains complex life. But what most people don't know is that the more thoroughly researchers investigate the history of our planet, the more astonishing the story of our existence becomes. The number and complexity of the astronomical, geological, chemical, and biological features recognized as essential to human existence have expanded explosively within the past decade.

For centuries, the biblical account of Noah’s flood has sparked controversy. Some reject it as myth, while others struggle to reconcile it with a loving God. But what if the real problem isn’t the flood itself, but how we’ve misunderstood it? In Noah’s Flood Revisited, Reasons to Believe founder and astrophysicist Hugh Ross uncovers fresh insights from both Scripture and science, showing how recent discoveries illuminate the historical reality of the flood—and why it matters today.

Are you up for a trip through the ultimate neighborhood? Join astrophysicist Hugh Ross for an insider’s look at our cosmic neighborhood, where you’ll see everything from the largest-scale structure of the universe to Earth’s innermost layers.

Saints are the men and women who best love Christ and His Church. They may be kings or queens, statesmen or soldiers, scholars, visionaries, workmen or beggars. They teach us the real meaning of human history, and they show us how to live in any walk of life or set of circumstances. Included in this anthology are famous saints—Francis of Assisi, Dominic, Joan of Arc, Ignatius of Loyola, Teresa of Avila—but also more obscure ones, such as Raymond Lull and Hugh of Lincoln. Many of these saints were martyrs, killed in periods of persecution.

Increasingly astronomers recognize that if the cosmos had not unfolded exactly as it did, humanity would not, could not, exist. Yet, these researchers - along with countless ordinary folks - resist belief in the biblical creator. Why? They say a loving God would have made a better home for us, one without trouble and tragedy. In Why the Universe Is the Way It Is, Hugh Ross draws from his depth of study in both science and Scripture to explain how the universe's design fulfills several distinct purposes.

As the sun rose, it alighted on more hoof marks heading east. Barnimeon could tell by now as well as any veteran that the hooves were iron shod. Centaur hooves, he thought, grinding his teeth. Thousands of them. “They’re ahead of us,” Aetos murmured that morning as he dropped back to walk by the strategos awhile, nodding to the churned earth. Barnimeon nodded grimly. “Yes. And if they make it through the hinterlands, we won’t only have the skern eggs to worry about. Our people will be defenceless against the centaur invasion. They’ll be slaughtered like sheep.”
