The Counterfeit Christ of the New Age Movement
by Ron RhodesLike the apostle Paul, Christianity has always stood on Mars Hill between the Epicureans and the Stoics, between atheism and pantheism. Today, they would be called Secular Humanists and New Agers. The first is a materialist, insisting that everything is reducible to matter. The latter are mystics, reducing all to mind or spirit. The former believe there is no God at all, and the latter claim that God is all and that all is God. Both are deadly enemies of Christianity, which confesses that God is the creator of all. At different times in history, one or the other of these enemies of the Christian faith has been the greater threat. Currently, the dominant move in our culture is away from the Epicureans to the Stoics, away from Secular Humanism to the New Age. As Harvey Cox put it in the title of his book, there is a "Turn East." Most Christians are ill-equipped to handle this new trend. We have become accustomed to responding to atheists, who do not believe in God, Christ, the soul, prayer, and life after death. But what about New Agers, who claim to believe in all of these? Of course, beneath their common terminology is an entirely different theology. This is the deceptive nature of the New Age and the need for more careful Christian scrutiny. To date, much of the Christian response to the New Age threat has been popular and even sensational. What has been needed is something more theological and biblical. In this excellent book by Ron Rhodes we have one of the first comprehensive, biblical, and critical responses to the core of New Age error. By centering on the New Age view of Christ, this book at once exposes the heretical nature of New Age teaching as well as highlights the central teaching of Christianity, the unique person and work of Jesus Christ, the God-Man. To be sure, there are more dimensions to New Age teaching than its view of Christ, but there are none more important. Furthermore, by centering on Christology, Rhodes is able to relate many of the other New Age teachings to this essential core doctrine. This book is by far the most comprehensive, biblical, and scholarly critique of any central New Age teaching available today.
Correcting The Cults: Expert Responses To Their Scripture Twisting
by Ron Rhodes Norman L. GeislerCults like Mormonism, Jehovah's Witnesses, and the New Age movement are ensnaring people by the millions. Why do so many flock to these perversions of Christianity? And how can we reason with them to help them see that Jesus is the only way to eternal life? Correcting the Cults is designed to help the reader do just that. After a thorough introduction on understanding the nature and characteristics of cults, the authors take the reader through the Bible, examining Scripture passages that cult adherents traditionally misinterpret to support and validate their own doctrines. This comprehensive, accessible, and intelligent resource is an important tool for pastors, students, and anyone who knows a cult member or someone considering a cult.
When Cultists Ask: A Popular Handbook On Cultic Misinterpretations
by Ron Rhodes Norman L. GeislerIn the first comprehensive book of its kind, two noted experts in the study of cults and apologetics identify and respond to the misuse of Scripture by adherents of various religions seeking validation for their own particular doctrines.
Your Life in Christ: Selected Sermons
by George MacDonaldThis collection of theological writings by the beloved Victorian author illuminates his views on living in the light of God&’s love. The Victorian author, poet, and theologian George MacDonald inspired some of the greatest minds of the early 20th century, including the writer C.S. Lewis, who said MacDonald&’s books were pivotal in leading him toward Christianity. But while MacDonald&’s fiction remains popular—with such notable classics as Robert Falconer and At the Back of the North Wind—his theological nonfiction is often challenging for modern readers. Now MacDonald scholar and biographer Michael Phillips addresses this difficulty with this expertly edited edition of MacDonald&’s sermons and essays exploring what it means to live a Christian life. Each selection is accompanied by Phillips&’s illuminating commentary, providing readers with an essential road map into the expansive world of George MacDonald&’s theological writings.

Wînipêk: Visions of Canada from an Indigenous Centre
by Niigaan SinclairNATIONAL BESTSELLERFrom ground zero of this country's most important project: reconciliationNiigaan Sinclair has been called provocative, revolutionary, and one of this country's most influential thinkers on the issues impacting Indigenous cultures, communities, and reconciliation in Canada. In his debut collection of stories, observations, and thoughts about Winnipeg, the place he calls "ground zero" of Canada's future, read about the complex history and contributions of this place alongside the radical solutions to injustice and violence found here, presenting solutions for a country that has forgotten principles of treaty and inclusivity. It is here, in the place where Canada began—where the land, water, people, and animals meet— that a path "from the centre" is happening for all to see.At a crucial and fragile moment in Canada's long history with Indigenous peoples, one of our most essential writers begins at the centre, capturing a web spanning centuries of community, art, and resistance. Based on years' worth of columns, Niigaan Sinclair delivers a defining essay collection on the resilience of Indigenous peoples. Here, we meet the creators, leaders, and everyday people preserving the beauty of their heritage one day at a time. But we also meet the ugliest side of colonialism, the Indian Act, and the communities who suffer most from its atrocities. Sinclair uses the story of Winnipeg to illuminate the reality of Indigenous life all over what is called Canada. This is a book that demands change and celebrates those fighting for it, that reminds us of what must be reconciled and holds accountable those who must do the work. It's a book that reminds us of the power that comes from loving a place, even as that place is violently taken away from you, and the magic of fighting your way back to it.
Out of the Darkness: The Germans, 1942-2022
by Frank TrentmannOne of The Telegraph&’s 50 Best Books of 2023A gripping and nuanced history of the German people from the Second World War to the present day, including hugely revealing new primary source material on every aspect of its transformation.In 1945, Germany lay ruined. Its citizens stood condemned by history, responsible for a horrifying genocide and war of extermination. But by the end of Angela Merkel&’s tenure in 2021, Germany looked like the moral voice of Europe, welcoming over one million refugees, holding together the tenuous threads of the European Union, and making military restraint the center of its foreign policy. At the same time, its rigid fiscal discipline and energy deals with Russian leader Vladimir Putin have cast a shadow over the present. Innumerable scholars have asked how Germany could have degenerated from a nation of scientists, poets, and philosophers into one responsible for genocide. And yet, until now, a similarly vital question has been ignored. That is, how did a nation whose past has been marked by mass murder, a people who cheered Adolf Hitler, reinvent themselves?Trentmann tells this dramatic story from the middle of the Second World War, through the Cold War and the division of East and West, to the fall of the Berlin Wall and Germany&’s struggle to find its place in the world today. This journey includes a series of internal, moral conflicts: admissions of guilt and shame vying with immediate economic concerns, restitution for some but not others, tolerance versus racism, compassion versus complicity. Through a range of voices—German soldiers and German Jews; displaced persons in limbo; East German women and shopkeepers angry about energy shortages; opponents and supporters of nuclear power; volunteers helping migrants and refugees, and right-wing populists attacking them—Trentmann paints a remarkable and surprising portrait of the German people over eighty years, showing how they became who they are today.
Season of Darkness (Tom Tyler Mystery Series #1)

When one of these young women is found murdered on a desolate country road, Tyler is almost glad for the challenge; he has been fretting for some time about the dullness of policing in a rural community. In addition, a former lover has reappeared and turned his emotions upside down; his soldier son seems utterly changed by his experience at Dunkirk; and his sixteen year old daughter is unhappy.

The disaster has created an opportunity for Birnam Wood, a guerrilla gardening collective that plants crops wherever no one will notice.For Mira, Birnam Wood&’s founder, occupying the farm at Thorndike would mean a shot at solvency at last. But Mira is not the only one interested in Thorndike. The enigmatic American billionaire Robert Lemoine has snatched it up to build his end-times bunker, or so he tells Mira when he catches her on the property. Intrigued by Mira and Birnam Wood, he makes them an offer that would set them up for the long term. But can they trust him? And, as their ideals and ideologies are tested, can they trust one another?Birnam Wood is Shakespearean in its drama, Austenian in its wit, and, like both influences, fascinated by what makes us who we are. It is an unflinching look at the surprising consequences of even our most well-intended actions, and an enthralling consideration of the human impulse to ensure our own survival.
