The 1st Amendment to the US Constitution codified the principle that government should play no role in favoring or supporting any religion, while allowing free exercise of all religions (including unbelief). More than 200 years later, the results from this experiment are overwhelming: The separation of church and state has shielded the government from religious factionalism, and the United States boasts a diverse religious culture unmatched in the world. But changes have been taking place at an accelerating pace in recent years.

This is the incredible true story of a Galilean stonemason who changed the course of the world forever. He lived and died over 2,000 years ago, fulfilling expectations that existed long before his birth. His birth had been mystically foretold by astrologers for hundreds of years, yet the rulers of his day dreaded his coming. This humble builder-teacher became a magnet for the poor and down trodden, a symbol of love and mercy, who transformed the lives and restored the health and purpose in all who encountered him.

In the late 1820s, John Nelson Darby abandoned his career as a priest in the Church of Ireland to become one of the principal leaders of a small but rapidly growing religious movement that became known as the “Plymouth Brethren.” Darby and other brethren modified the Calvinism that was common among their evangelical contemporaries, developing distinctive positions on key doctrines relating to salvation, the church, the work of the Holy Spirit, and the end times.

At its founding, the United States was an overwhelmingly Protestant country. However, over the last 250 years, it has become increasingly diverse with tens of millions of Catholics, millions of Latter-day Saints, Muslims, Hindus, and Jews, alongside a rapidly increasing share of Americans who claim no religious affiliation at all. The American Religious Landscape uses an in-depth statistical analysis of large datasets to answer foundational questions about this diversity.

In How Catholics Encounter the Bible, award-winning biblical scholar and historian Michael Peppard explores the paradoxical role of the Bible for Catholics—a book central to their tradition, but not usually in the form of a book. Biblical ideas and beliefs are more often mediated through diverse modes of storytelling, artistic imagination, and ritual.

Yes Dear Is Not the Answer is a direct, no-nonsense guide for men who refuse to settle for passivity and compromise. Written by Pedro, a man who has battled his own demons and broken free from destructive generational cycles, this book confronts the weak, compliant mentality that has left many men powerless in their relationships, families, and faith.

一五二五年，宗教改革の渦中，幼児洗礼を拒むキリスト教の一派が誕生した．異端として迫害されながらも聖書の教えを守り，非暴力を貫いた彼らの信仰は，戦争の止まない現代に生きる私たちに何を語りかけるのか．

Ken Boutwell and I became fast friends soon after he sent me a manuscript to publish as his first book in 2016. He was referred to my publishing company by a mutual friend who was his pastor at First Baptist Church in Tallahassee, Florida. He told me at that time that he was also working on a second book which would address racism and bigotry throughout history with an invitation to join him and others in changing these cruel cultures around the world.

Fun, funny, blasphemous, easy to understand but hard to refute: GOD DOES NOT EXIST BUT, IF HE DOES, HE’S NOT GOOD, AND ANYWAY, A GOOD GOD WOULD NOT WRITE YOUR BIBLE OR ENDORSE YOUR RELIGION is a comprehensive look at all the ways in which it is possible to deny the existence of God, and what it means for someone to say that they're an atheist.

According to divine command and simple justice alike, we should give God worship. But how do we know if we’re doing it right? After all, the world is hardly in full agreement on this question. Is religion really just about bowing and kneeling in a big church? Maybe we should worship God by communing with nature instead, or by loving our neighbor. Or maybe, since God dwells within us, true worship simply means becoming the best version of ourselves. In Real Religion, How to Avoid False Faith and Worship God in Spirit and Truth, popular preacher and professor Fr.

The master key to the Kingdom of God. The practical guide to living in the Kingdom and enjoying all the benefits of Kingdom citizenship.

The Body of Christ today doesn't understand a crucial aspect of the Abrahamic covenant: we have a calling, gifting, and command to influence places and people in authority in order to impact culture with Kingdom values. Christians are called to bless all nations and we have divine power within us to impact nations. The book will address the difference between prayer and intercession as well as the impact of God's permissive and perfect will on how we pray.

Putting Jesus in His Place is designed to introduce Christians to the wealth of biblical teaching on the deity of Christ. Using evidence from the New Testament, this book helps listeners appreciate the significance of Christ's deity in a personal relationship with Him, and gives them the confidence to share the truth about Jesus with others.

If God is our creator and wants us to follow Him, why does everything have to be so complicated? Timeline gaps and the laws of physics forcefully argue against such vague spiritual nonsense. No wonder so many ignore God Almighty and His primary means of communication, the Bible.

My 2019 writings on topics from tech to politics to God.

What if Nothing was not the absence of meaning, but its birthplace? What if divinity was not found in certainty, but in the unknowable, the untouchable, and the undefinable space beyond it? This is not a book of answers. The Gospel of Nothing is a journey into paradox, an exploration of the void from which all things emerge. It dares to ask: Is the sacred something we can hold, or is it the space left untouched? Is the divine a presence—or an absence? We are creatures obsessed with meaning, weaving it into the fabric of existence, unable to escape the instinct to search.

We Have Ruined God: My Journey Out of Religion and Into Unconditional Love is an irreverent exposé that uncovers the flaws and manipulations in religious doctrines. It is a candid and thought-provoking narrative that invites the listener to participate in a journey of self-discovery and healing from religion-induced trauma. The book highlights the hypocrisy, misogyny, and toxic elements woven into many religious teachings. At the same time, it provides clarity and a path to spiritual fulfillment in a world clouded by agenda-driven teachings. The truth does set you free.

Are you secretly struggling beneath the surface, thriving outwardly but feeling deeply wounded within? In Am I Too Broken?, trauma therapist, and Christian, Felicia Edwards, LMFT compassionately guides listeners on an empowering journey to reclaim emotional freedom and healing from unresolved hurts.

In "The Coin Manifesto," Derrick Brown guides listeners on a profound journey to uncover the fundamental truth that the aggregated emotions of happiness, sadness, pleasure, and pain are never permanent. Our struggle in life is that we try to make that which is temporary (peace and unrest) permanent. We are all part of a greater whole experiencing these emotions like tossing a Coin never knowing the outcome of its flip.

I have been an Occult researcher for 50 years, and have directly interacted with dozens of individuals experiencing demonic possession. Rather than attempting to exorcise them, I would sit down and have a drink with them, asking questions and letting them tell their side of the story. I remain friends with some of them, even was married to one for a decade. I learned more from those conversations than I could've ever learned from any book.
