Rise of ISIS: A Threat We Can't Ignore
by David French Robert W Ash Jay Sekulow Jordan SekulowJay Sekulow, one of America's most influential attorneys, closely examines the rise of the terrorist groups ISIS and Hamas, explains their objectives and capabilities and how, if left undefeated, their existence could unleash a genocide of historic proportions.Recently, the world has been shaken by gruesome photos and videos that have introduced us to the now infamous terrorist group known as ISIS. The world's wealthiest and most powerful jihadists, ISIS originated within Al Qaeda with the goal of creating an Islamic state across Iraq and Syria and unrelenting jihad on Christians. Separate from ISIS, the terrorist group Hamas has waged an equally brutal war against Israel. Both groups, if left undefeated, have the potential to unleash a catastrophic genocide. Rise of ISIS gives a better understanding of the modern face of terror, and provides an overview of the laws of war and war crimes. These laws differentiate between the guilty and innocent, and explain why the US military and the Israeli Defense Forces are often limited in their defensive measures. The authors' firsthand experience, including multiple appearances before the Office of the Prosecutor, International Criminal Court at The Hague, along with direct contact battling jihadists during operation Iraqi Freedom lends insight into this important geopolitical issue. A must-have for anyone who wants to better understand the conflict that exists in the middle east, this well-researched and fully annotated volume is invaluable in revealing how this new brand of terrorism poses a very real threat to Americans and the world at large. It also serves as a guide to what we as individuals--and as a nation--can do to stop this escalating violence, prevent jihad, and protect Israel and America from this imminent threat. Includes an exclusive track from the Jay Sekulow Band, Where I Stand, a moving tribute to the persecuted Christians in Iraq.
Rise of the Cults
by Walter MartinSince 1955, when this work first appeared, much theological water has gone under the bridge of history. The cults and the occult were even then surging toward their great growth and the tidal wave of propaganda that today, 22 years later, crests high on the ramparts of the Christian church. Fortunately, by the grace of God, I was privileged to foresee that this deluge was coming, and I sought to warn the church that we must be prepared to meet and resist the rise of the cults and the occult, while never forgetting the task of evangelizing those caught within their webs of deception. History and experience tell us that the twofold ministry of the church--evangelism and the defense of the gospel--can be effectively realized and implemented. Unfortunately, and to my sorrow, that warning went largely unheeded, and I was described as an "alarmist." <P><P>The public was told that the cults were not outpacing the church. However, this was not the case, as any student of the last decade well knows. Today a virulent cultic and occultic revival is sweeping our country, dating from approximately 1965; much of the world has now begun to feel its powerful impact. But there is a real ray of hope in this dark picture: The Lord has begun to arouse His people. Thinking Christians now realize that the danger to them, their children, and their grandchildren is real, not imagined. They have also become aware that cultists and occultists can be successfully answered and evangelized, thus turning enemies of the gospel into stalwart Christians. I have never regretted being right about anything quite so much in my entire ministry. I wish it had been otherwise; I wish that just preaching the gospel without defending the faith effectively and evangelizing the cults directly would have contained the rise of the cults. But the contrary facts are before us on every side. The cults simply will not go away, and neither can they any longer be ignored or drowned in a sea of evasive rhetoric, statistics, or arguments. <P><P>The rise of the cults is upon us with a vengeance at home and on every major world mission field. The response of the church must be immediate and positive if this rise is to be checked and perhaps contained, though this now will take an act of sovereign grace because of the enormous multiplication and proliferation of cultic structures. The time for talk is over; the time for action in the name of the gospel has arrived. In a word, the challenge is here, the time is now. This revised edition is sent forth with the earnest hope and prayer that those who read it and may belong to any of the cultic systems herein described may see, by contrast with Holy Scripture, their personal need of Jesus Christ-- the Christ of divine revelation, not cultic imagination--as Savior and Lord. We also pray that interested students of contemporary cultism may catch a glimpse of a great mission field to be evangelized for the Lord.

Rise of the Servant Kings: What the Bible Says About Being a Man
by Ken HarrisonThe "how-to-get-it-right" book for today's Christian man--in marriage, family, work, friendships, with God in all of life. Men are hungry for authenticity and for sound and bold biblical teaching on true masculinity. Every day men ask themselves questions about how to be better fathers, husbands, friends, and men, but it's difficult to find satisfying answers. Rise of the Servant Kings explains that true masculinity is found in absolute surrender to God, which always results in humble character and is expressed in courage and generosity. When a man truly understands God's desires, he will naturally express godly masculinity, Ken Harrison weaves together his experiences as a police officer in one of the deadliest areas of the country, with many years as a business executive and ministry leader, to share deep truths for men direct from God's Word.

Rise: Get Up and Live in God's Great Story
by Trip LeeSociety says youth is a time for carefree self-expression, but Trip Lee says God has called everyone to RISE from slumber, above low expectations, and to live for the risen King.

We're told that responsibility and commitment are burdens to be put off as long as possible.

And God has called you to live it. In this powerful book, Trip Lee argues it's time to wake up and RISE, to live the way we were created to live. Young or old, we've been called to live for Him. Right now. Young believers face the same problems as older Christians, but they feel them in unique ways. RISE addresses those core problems in an engaging, profound, and life-changing way.
