Already Gone
by Ken Ham and Britt Beemer, with Todd Hillard
If you look around in your church today, two-thirds of the young people who are sitting among us have already left in their hearts; soon they will be gone for good.
This is the alarming conclusion from a study Answers in Genesis commissioned from America's Research Group, led by respected researcher Britt Beemer. The results may unnerve you - they may shake long-held assumptions to the core - but these results need to be taken seriously by the church. Already Gone reveals:
Why America's churches have lost an entire generation of believers
The views of 1,000 twenty-somethings, solidly raised in the church but no longer attending - and their reasons why
Relevant statistical data effectively teamed with powerful apologetics
The study found that we are losing our kids in elementary, middle school, and high school rather than college, and the "Sunday school syndrome" is contributing to the epidemic, rather than helping alleviate it. This is an alarming wake-up call for the church, showing how our programs and our approaches to Christian education are failing...and our children are paying the price. Though the statistics reveal a huge disconnect taking place between our children and their church experience, Already Gone shows how to fight back for our families, our churches, and our world. We can make a difference today that will affect the statistics of tomorrow in a positive and Christ-focused way!

Betrayed By God? Making Sense Of Your Expectations
by Shana Schutte
Heartbreak. Disappointment. Betrayal. These are words every woman is familiar with. They may have first been experienced in high school, when one young teen loses her best friend because of a silly fight. Or in college, when a supposedly-perfect boyfriend suddenly ends a very serious relationship. Or in adulthood, when jobs are lost, divorces break families apart, or children fall a path of destruction. Heartbreak. Disappointment. Betrayal. Life as we know it has fallen apart. And we're blaming God for not preventing it.
In Betrayed by God?, author Shana Schutte invites readers to take an honest look at themselves and their relationships with God. Through honest exploration and sound biblical wisdom, she helps readers determine why they feel betrayed when life began to hurt. With hope and help for the hurting, she gives women practical tools and encouragement as they make sense of their expectations and find healing through a loving God.

The Christ
by Carroll Robertson
He was either loved or hated by those with whom He came into contact; rarely did He leave anyone with a feeling of indifference toward Him.
The authorities of His day finally renounced Him as a fake, but The Christ leaves no doubt that Jesus was indeed the Messiah, the "Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world."

Crucified (Getting The Mind Of Christ)
by Cheryl Arnold
There is a path that is stained with Jesus' blood and leads to His crucifixion and ultimately to our crucifixion if we will follow Him. After salvation, man must be made to detest with all his being the sin nature within him. When he does he will kill it (Romans 6:6). "How shall we, who are dead to sin, live any longer in it?" (Romans 6:2). When he kills it, he allows Christ to be fully formed in him and is fit then to walk out the rest of his life on earth in single-minded devotion to Christ, longing for the moment he will be forever with Him in glory. This is the love of God.

Entebbe: A Defining Moment in the War on Terrorism--The Jonathan Netanyahu Story
by Iddo Netanyahu
The remarkable account of the famous hostage rescue at Entebbe, and its commander, Jonathan Netanyahu. Learn how this modern Joshua inspired not only Israel but the whole free world through the success of this operation . . . described by many as a miraculous mission of biblical proportions.
Relates perfectly with our own war on terrorism in Afghanistan and Iraq
This is the only documented, firsthand account of the epic raid on Entebbe - includes many photos
Highlights the shared values of Israeli warriors like Yoni and freedom-loving American troops engaged with a vicious enemy
July 4, 1976. The United States was celebrating 200 years of freedom and democracy. Thousands of miles away, freedom of a different kind was being celebrated as more than 100 hostages who had been held at gunpoint by terrorists in Entebbe, Uganda, were freed. The daring commander of this rescue mission was Jonathan (Yoni) Netanyahu; he was the only Israeli soldier killed in the Entebbe raid. Readers will marvel over the reasons Jonathan went to Entebbe, what has been called "his great hour." Surely, the parallels for people of faith are here: The Scripture says, "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." Jonathan didn’t know any of the hostages held by the terrorists, yet he willingly laid down his own life. He was motivated not only by a desire to defend Israel, but to defend all victims of terror.

Evidence of the Truth of the Christian Religion
by Alexander Keith
Alexander Keith was well aware of the importance of predictive prophecy. In a handed-down story surrounding the inspiration for his writing on the subject, Keith witnessed firsthand the power of biblical predictions. It is said that a young agnostic was giving Keith no quarter in his relentless denial of the truth of the Scriptures. Having exhausted many arguments on the young man, Keith finally asked him what he made of all the predicted and fulfilled prophecies of the Old Testament. When the young man said he didn't know, Keith proceeded to give him several examples. Soon after this, the young man converted to Christianity and Keith realized that a book on the topic was sorely needed. This book is the fruit of that realization.
Modern readers may find Keith's book challenging and even tedious in some places, but they certainly will not find it irrelevant. It reveals information that will be new to most, and that will give new life to the often cryptic passages of Old Testament prophecy. Much of modern preaching and teaching gives little attention to the Old Testament and therefore most modern Christians are ignorant of the treasures it contains. This reprint of Alexander Keith's classic book will go a long way in reacquainting readers with the eventful and important 2000 years that preceded the birth of Jesus Christ. May a new generation be gripped and inspired by what it finds there.

Faith Undone
by Roger Oakland
Is the emerging church movement just another passing fad, a more contemporary approach to church, or a bunch of disillusioned young people looking for answers? In fact, it is actually much broader and is influencing Christianity to a significant degree. Grounded in a centuries-old mystical approach, this movement is powerful, yet highly deceptive, and it draws its energy from practices and experiences that are foreign to traditional evangelical Christianity. The path that the emerging church is taking is leading right into the arms of Roman Catholicism and ultimately to an interfaith perspective that has prophetically profound ramifications.

Chronicling the suffering and brutal deaths of those who have sacrificed their lives for the sake of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, John Foxe captured the God-given, Spirit-inspired courage of these noble souls. Though sometimes difficult to read because of the inhumane cruelty depicted in its pages, the images which truly endure are the ones which portray the victorious faith, through the grace of God, of these Christian martyrs.

1599 Geneva Bible
In a very real sense, we as Americans owe much of our rich spiritual heritage to the Geneva Bible - the Scriptures carried by Plymouth Pilgrims and great reformers. Nearly forgotten today, this version of the Holy Scriptures - first translated into English in 1560 - created the conditions for a Christian reformation of life and culture the likes of which the world had never seen.
In 1553, Mary Tudor ascended the throne of England and set about to stamp out the Reformation, ordering the burning of all copies of the Bible in the English tongue and causing more than three hundred reformers to be burned at the stake. Bloody Mary's vicious crusade drove scores of English reformers to Geneva, including some of the finest biblical scholars in history. Together, these men produced a new English Bible based on the original languages and not beholden to any king or prelate - the Geneva Bible
The Geneva Bible is the Bible of "firsts": It was the first Bible to qualify as a study Bible, providing readers with copious notes, cross-references, and commentary about the original manuscripts. It was the first Bible to be printed in a portable and affordable edition. And it was the first Bible to assign chapter and verse numbers, facilitating the location of passages, memorization, and recitation - and the nurture of a nation of Bible readers.
The Geneva Bible inspired those who championed self-government and civic virtue. Its mighty influence was manifest in the lives of Knox, Cromwell, and Shakespeare. And it was the 1599 Geneva Bible that the Pilgrims read as they arrived in the New World in 1620, deriving principles from its pages that helped lay the foundation-stones of liberty in the western hemisphere.
We're pleased to announce the re-release of the Geneva Bible in a superior quality genuine leather binding edition that features word-for-word accuracy with the 1599 Geneva Bible; original cross references; original study notes by Reformers; bonded leather; modern spelling; and easy-to-read print. Now you can own this lost treasure of Christendom.

By the time the conflict ended, she was literally transformed by the faith she had merely accepted, and on a mission from God. By God's grace, Corrie survived the concentration camp and became a "tramp for the Lord," sharing in more than sixty nations the thrilling message that nothing, not even death, can separate us from God's love.

His Favorite Wife
by Susan Ray Scmidt
His Favorite Wife is the heart-stopping, inspirational narrative of a courageous fifteen year-old girl who becomes the sixth wife in a polygamous marriage. Cascading with well-developed characters, this true story will capture your soul and imagination as the author reveals how a group of kind-hearted, sincere people are led to embrace this controversial lifestyle in their pursuit of the highest degree of glory. Laced with surprising brush-strokes of humor, this heart-rending saga will take its readers on a journey that outsiders whisper of and shudder about. It answers the question that a polygamist's wife is asked countless times: How can you tolerate sharing your husband? In North America today there are over thirty thousand polygamists. Many of them lead secret lives in their attempt to hide from society and U.S. laws. Their women are taught that obedience, unquestioning acceptance of polygamy, and giving birth to huge families of children to follow in their parent's footsteps, will assure them a celestial crown. Few search out truth for themselves, but trustingly follow their prophet. Susan's book deals with this head-in-the-sand ignorance. She too, was one of these women.
How Do We Know The Bible Is True?
by Ken Ham & Bodie Hodge
Today there are untold voices in print, on television, and online calling for our attention, and so many of these mock or belittle our faith. From coworkers to those calling themselves Christians, the tone has become one of reproach, disparaging the character of God and undermining the authority of the Bible. For those who have a heart for God, it can be intimidating and discouraging.
How Do We Know the Bible is True? is based on the absolute authority of God's Word, not man-centered explanations. Clearly presented, it will help bring clarity in a world filled with increasingly vague notions of truth. Over 20 relevant issues are discussed including:
Is the Bible totally without error?
Did the resurrection really happen?
How do we know that the 66 books of the Bible are from God?
Does the Bible contradict itself?
How were people saved before Jesus came?
What is the purpose and meaning of life?
Did miracles really happen?
Was Genesis derived from ancient myths?
How should we interpret the Bible; should Genesis be literal?
Do you have to believe in a young earth to be saved?
Within these pages you will find responses to those honest questions of faith, helping to build a confidence in God's Word and inspiring your daily walk in His grace and peace.
These powerful biblical insights are soundly presented by more than a dozen respected defenders of the faith, including Ken Ham, John MacArthur, Terry Mortenson, Jason Lisle, Brian Edwards, Tommy Mitchell, Jobe Martin, Georgia Purdom, Bodie Hodge, and Roger Patterson.

Muhammad's Monsters
by David Bukay
Since 9/11, the rush to learn about Islam has been a common goal for a broad spectrum of Americans - from politicians, to clergy, to soccer moms. Indeed, a lack of knowledge of this religion has publishers scrambling for titles. Mohammad's Monsters represents that rare project - scholarly in tone, yet highly readable - that sets it apart. Essays from leading experts, including David Bukay and Louis Rene Beres, outline the broad dimensions of Islam, while filling in important details. Careful to distinguish between moderate Moslems and radicals who have adopted monstrous methods of dealing with the West, this is a work of utmost importance.

The Truth About Mormonism
by Dennis & Rauni Higley
A revised and expanded edition of Dennis & Rauni Higley's concise but revealing investigation of their former faith, the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Dennis was a sixth-generation Mormon who became an Elder's Quorum president while still in his early twenties. About a decade later, he was ordained a High Priest and called to serve on the Stake High Council. Rauni worked as a translator and language coordinator for the LDS Church for over 14 years, and held teaching positions in sunday school and in the Relief Society. Her privileged position allowed her to study Mormon history from many books not generally available to LDS membership, which eventually led her to share these growing concerns about discrepancies hidden by the Church with her husband. Together they launched an intensive private study of the "facts" of Mormonism, with guidance from God and His Word. This ultimately led Dennis and Rauni out of the darkness and into the light.
"Whose Witnesses?" is a book that intends to expose the truth behind what the Jehovah's Witnesses teach. This is not a book of exposition that refutes line by line what the Jehovah's Witnesses believe. I thank the Lord that there are many of those available already. Instead, this book will show the reader that there is one main point that the Jehovah's Witnesses press harder than any other and it is a foundational doctrine of theirs. It is this: They insist that Jesus Christ is not God...they deny His Deity. All other doctrines of theirs are secondary. This book will show how the Bible teaches that Jesus Christ is God and that there is no salvation apart from receiving this truth. Jesus is the Son of God but the Word teaches us that He is also God the Son. This is the gospel He taught of Himself and any other teaching is what the Word refers to as another gospel. We pray that this book will be used to lead many into the loving arms of their God and Savior Jesus Christ by illuminating the glorious gospel He taught about Himself. Cheryl lives in South Carolina with her husband Tim and their two children, Garrett and Melanie. She has a deep love for the Lord and His Word and desires that the body of Christ would be filled with the knowledge of God's will by His Spirit and through His Word so we can be light to a dark world.
