Is your tween prepared for what's ahead? It used to be that middle school was the time for talking to kids about modesty and body image issues. Unfortunately, the at-risk demographic is now girls ages 8-10. Gresh has studied at-risk teen and tween behavior for fifteen years, and she concludes that the best remedy is an age-appropriate, Bible-based understanding of their bodies. With this, girls are "more likely to have healthy friendships, excel academically, and become positive social contributors in their com­munities, all while expressing their beauty and value appropriately."Through a creative self-help text format that includes sidebars, quizzes, games, exploded quotes, and graphics--plus an optional devotional companion, True Girl Mom-Daughter Devos--tweens will be prepared for what's ahead. "We can change what tween girls see when they look in the mirror by changing what's inside their hearts," writes Gresh, and that's the goal of this book

If you ask believers what their favorite book of the Bible is, many will say Romans. And if you ask which specific chapter in the Bible has had the most impact on their lives, a number of them would name the eighth chapter of Romans--and for good reason. "If the Bible was a mountain range, it is said, Romans 8 would be its highest peak. I can say after reading this study that Trillia Newbell is sure-footed mountain guide that will help you climb this great passage and get some of its best breath-taking views of God and our salvation in Christ.

Where was the gospel before the Reformation?Contemporary evangelicals often struggle to answer that question. As a result, many Roman Catholics are quick to allege that the Reformation understanding of the gospel simply did not exist before the 1500s. They assert that key Reformation doctrines, like sola fide, were nonexistent in the first fifteen centuries of church history. Rather, they were invented by Martin Luther, John Calvin, and others.That is a serious charge, and one that evangelicals must be ready to answer. If an evangelical understanding of the gospel is only 500 years old, we are in major trouble. However, if it can be demonstrated that Reformers were not inventing something new, but instead were recovering something old, then key tenets of the Protestant faith are greatly affirmed. Hence, the need for this book.

How to raise a godly man in a godless world Perhaps there has never been a more challenging time to raise children than in today's culture. Parents are having to address challenges that their parents never had to with them. And while the core elements to raising children are the same, parents need wisdom for applying them to this day and age. That's what this book is about: navigating the times and raising a generation of men on godly principles. Parents will be equipped to: Envision their son's future every daySet his spiritual trajectory Build a home that grows godly menAddress the rebellion in their son's heartPrepare him to face the world and contribute to itScripture says, "The father of the righteous will greatly rejoice; he who fathers a wise son will be glad in him" (Prov. 23:24).

Where have all the disciples gone?There is a missing force in Christianity today. It's a critical one, and its absence has led to weak believers, disintegrating families, ineffective churches, and a decaying culture. Without it, we lack what we need to fully live as heaven's representatives on earth. That missing force is discipleship. In Kingdom Disciples, Tony Evans outlines a simple, actionable definition of discipleship to help the church fulfill its calling. Readers will learn: What a disciple isWhat a disciple cares aboutHow to be a disciple and make disciplesWhat discipleship looks like in communityWhat the impact of discipleship on the world can beKingdom Disciples calls believers and churches back to our primary, divinely ordained responsibility to be disciples and make disciples. Only when we take seriously this assignment will the world see heaven at work on earth.

Almost two Millennia ago, Jesus asked his disciples, "Who do you say that I am?"--and people have been asking the question ever since. Many answering the question today have a decidedly different view than Peter offered in his faithful response. In the early days of the church, Gnostics balked at Jesus' humanity. Today, it's his divine nature that's under attack. It seems almost monthly that new bestselling books appear detailing how alternative gospels portray an earthly Jesus, devoid of divinity. The Deity of Christ by John F. MacArthur is a biblical defense of Jesus' deity and a clarion call for believers to rise up and defend this core doctrine. Both new and seasoned Christians will benefit from MacArthur's clear take on the relevant Bible passages. They will come away with rock-solid assurance that Jesus was indeed the unique son of God and a deeper, more profound appreciation of Christ's love for them.
