Why Save Alexander
by Phillip TelferCan a hardcore gamer survive a real-world crisis? Seventeen-year-old Alex Brooks is obsessed with becoming an e-athlete. What teen wouldn&’t want to make a million dollars playing video games professionally? Especially if you&’ve got a real shot at it like Alex. His mom, a television producer in Hollywood, casts her son in a reality show about young gaming hopefuls seeking fame and fortune. This gives him great exposure in the industry. On top of that, His dad owns an up-and-coming tech business that is about to launch a revolutionary product. Life couldn&’t be better--or could it?Truth be told, Alex doesn&’t need to go pro as bad as he needs to grow up, and what teen really wants to do that? He&’s popular with other gamers but his over-inflated ego makes him obnoxious to almost everyone else. He hides a deep secret--the cavernous void in his life that nothing seems to fill. He thrives on a false sense of accomplishment but is haunted by an inescapable sense of loneliness. He has lived in the shadow of his dad&’s relentless pursuit of building a tech empire while watching him fail to keep his family from falling apart. What will it take for Alex to gain a new perspective on what it means to become a man and what it takes to be a hero?Everything changes when Alex goes missing. He must face a life or death struggle in a foreign culture that doesn&’t have a power grid. Man or computer mouse? His digital world didn&’t prepare him for the challenges that are about to confront him. Alex is not ready to rescue anyone, he needs to be rescued. For those who really know Alexander, why would anyone want to save him? This coming-of-age story follows Alex as he is forced to grow up the hard way through extraordinary circumstances, which cause him to re-evaluate what&’s important in life, his need for God, and the positive influence of older mentors. Adventure, danger, romance, survival, despair and Providence are the ingredients that help remake his life.

Joining Jesus on the Way: Discipleship in the 21st Century
by Phil MayoWhat does it mean to &‘take up your cross daily&’? &“Sell your possessions and give to the poor&”--really!? &“Deny yourself,&” Jesus says. How does all of this fit together in a world two thousand years removed?Joining Jesus on the Way, takes a look at the discipleship teachings of Jesus through the lens of the Gospel of Luke. Luke&’s unique emphasis on discipleship has long been recognized among the Gospel traditions. One might even call Luke&’s Gospel a discipleship manual. In Luke, Jesus prepares his disciples for the power packed ministry they will live out in Luke&’s second volume, Acts.Jesus teaches his disciples about self-denial, obedience to his commands, proper attitude toward possessions, faith and prayer, and, after his resurrection, promises them the presence and power of the Holy Spirit to continue the ministry he began.Most of Jesus&’ discipleship teachings are found in the &“travel narrative&” portion of the Gospel of Luke. In these ten chapters, Jesus is traveling up to Jerusalem and his ultimate destiny, the cross. This is a journey on which Jesus invites all would-be disciples to join him. On the way, we learn what it means to be true followers of Jesus. The ultimate goal of the journey is the cross, which every disciple must bear, but the journey does not end here. Death to self means resurrection to new life in Christ.Two thousand years later, Jesus is still calling his followers to join him on the way, but we don&’t always know how to answer that call. It&’s not necessarily our fault, as we seem to hear very little these days about true discipleship. Some are answering the call but don&’t know what to do next. Their pursuit of Jesus is avid, but they need someone to help them along the way. This book is written to be that help.In Joining Jesus on the Way, Mayo considers the implications of Jesus&’ discipleship teachings for would-be disciples both then and now. This book is written to challenge 21st century believers to deepen their walk with Jesus, and to choose to take up that proverbial cross and follow him daily.
The Case for Heaven (and Hell) Bible Study Guide plus Streaming Video: A Journalist Investigates Evidence for Life After Death
by Lee StrobelIs there convincing evidence for eternal life after death? If so, what will our experience be like? What will it be like to see God face to face? In this five-session video study (streaming included), Lee Strobel--journalist and award-winning author of The Case for Christ--turns his talent for investigation on the biblical and logical case for an afterlife.The reality of death shapes our lives and faith. Most of us fear it or try not to think about it, regardless of whether we believe in eternal life or not. Lee--whose rigorous faith has been shaped by his past as an atheist--first considers his old unbelief: that we have only one life and when we die, we cease to exist.

Based on his interviews with leading Christian philosophers, scientists, and theologians; Strobel unfolds the strongest arguments for belief in heaven, hell, and a glimpse into what these places will be like.Along the way, he explores common topics related to immortality; such as angels, Satan and demons, the reincarnation of the body, and doctrines like salvation through Christ alone.This study guide has everything you need for a full Bible study experience, including:The study guide itself--with discussion and reflection questions, video notes, and a leader's guide.An individual access code to stream all five video sessions online (you don't need to buy a DVD!).Journey with Lee Strobel in this exploration of heaven, and be drawn into a deeper understanding of the rationality and final hope of Christian beliefs.Streaming video access code included.

What Does God Know and When Does He Know It?: The Current Controversy over Divine Foreknowledge
by Millard J. EricksonDoes God know the future? Or is the future unknowable to even God? Open theists believe the search for biblical answers will spark a new Revolution. Are they right? Arguing that God interacts with his creatures spontaneously, the controversial new movement known as “open theism” has called classic church theology up for reexamination. Confronting this view, classic theists maintain that God has complete foreknowledge and that open-theist arguments are unorthodox. Each view has implications for our vision of the future and of God’s dealings with humanity.

Every Body's Story: 6 Myths About Sex and the Gospel Truth About Marriage and Singleness
by Branson ParlerEvery story entails a way of life and how every way of life implies a big story.In Every Body's Story, Branson Parler focuses on three predominant myths of sexuality in our secular age--individualism, romance, and materialism--and three dominant myths in Christian circles--anti-body theology, legalism, and the sexual prosperity gospel--exploring how those stories shape our practice. Our views of sexuality and our practices around sex are never just about sex. How we use and view our bodies reveals who/what we think God is (or is not) and who we are.If we truly understand the biblical logic of marriage, sexuality, and singleness--that they are meant to embody the gospel--then we will better understand why this witness is so vital. As God's self-giving faithfulness is put on display by both married and single Christians, those formed by our secular age will have to ask: What if it's true? What if there's more? What if God really does love us that much? Rather than viewing our sexuality as an isolated matter of ethics, we can see how the gospel places our sexuality in the context of God's rescue mission of the world.
