Bestselling author and Bible teacher, Steve Farrar, reminds us through the story of Daniel that true courage can be ours daily and it comes from the one true Sovereign God.

In True Courage readers will discover a God who provides incredible courage to us in the midst of uncertainty, even through treacherous, evil days, and the courage to face lions in their den—or an unexpected job loss, the diagnosis of a sick child, or the return of a debilitating cancer.

Should Christians Be Environmentalists by Dan Story
208 pages, 1 of 1 reviews are 5-star
Did God instruct the human race to be His caretakers over nature? If so, is environmental exploitation disobedience to God? Is it true, as many critics claim, that Christianity is the root cause of today’s environmental problems—or are all religions and cultures responsible? How should the church respond?
Should Christians Be Environmentalists? systematically tackles these tough questions and more by exploring what the Bible says about the environment and our stewardship of creation. Looking at three dimensions of environmentalism as a movement, a Bible-based theology of nature, and the role the church has in environmental ethics, Dan Story examines each through a theological, apologetic, and practical lens.
Church: Building – Body – Bride by Dominique Baptiste
78 pages, no reviews, Lending Enabled
Church is a must-read for anyone who is curious about the houses of worship that seem to dot every street corner in America. Why are there so many churches? What goes on inside those walls? Is there a place for me that might enrich my life? Author Dominique Baptiste, a noted Bible teacher and host of Biblical Essentials for Life Television Ministry, answers these questions and more in an informational, educational, and inviting manner.
Unlike many books about religion, Church is unbiased, non-combative, and inclusive. Taking most of her lessons directly from the Bible, sprinkled with warm stories of her experiences and others, Baptiste explores the origins of church, who are the people who worship inside, what are they and why; and finally, what is their future.
Unveiling her insights in a compelling mix of prose and scripture, Baptiste sheds light on the place that churches still have in our lives—and inspires readers to discover their own spirituality, and renew their faith.
