What is the essence of Christianity? And does it stand up to scrutiny? In Mere Christianity C.S. Lewis shows that Christianity is the only faith that fits reality! |
"I hope no reader will suppose that "mere" Christianity is here put forward as an alternative to the creeds of the existing communions — as if a man could adopt it in preference to Congregationalism or Greek Orthodoxy or anything else. It is more like a hall out of which doors open into several rooms. If I can bring anyone into that hall, I have done what I attempted. But it is in the rooms, not the hall, that there are fires and chairs and meals." |

"How all-important it is that a vigorous spiritual life, in close association with the Holy Scriptures and in the midst of the Christian community, be maintained as a background to theological work..." |
This book is a powerful reminder that knowledge is good--indeed necessary--but not enough to make a person wise and godly. |
| In the spirit of Plato's Cave, Flatland (by Edwin Abbott) challenges blind dogmatism in a fun and intriguing way. In the process, it encourages creative critical thinking. |  |
"Be patient, for the world is broad and wide." |

How can I know God personally? What is this relationship like? From a life intimacy with God, Tozer answers these and other questions, pointing the way to friendship with God! |
"The modern scientist has lost God amid the wonders of His world; we Christians are in real danger of losing God amid the wonders of His Word. We have almost forgotten that God is a Person and, as such, can be cultivated as any person can." |  |

Jesus came to save us, but Salvation is just the begining--the entry point into the Kingdom of God. In the Kingdom we learn to live from the endless provisions of Heaven and to invade this world with a clear demonstration of His World. |

 |
"Shut out every other consideration and keep yourself before God for this one thing only—“My Utmost for His Highest.” I am determined to be absolutely and entirely for Him and for Him alone." |
My Utmost For His Highest... |
| It is in the person of Christ and His rule that life finds its meaning! When all is said and done, His Kingdom is the only thing that ultimately matters and the only thing that will last forever. |
"I find myself with an inner compulsion, bolstered with confidence by the fact that the best and most influential man who ever lived, Jesus Christ, made the kingdom of God his central emphasis. I can't go very wrong if I stick close to him. If I fail I fail in the right direction. I would rather fail with him than succeed with anyone else." |

"Signs indicate we are gaining momentum and may well be ready to manifest our Lord's true character in a way appropriate to the crisis of our age. Our Christian schools are already outperforming our secular counterparts. More and more churches are recovering our rightful role in racial reconciliation, in caring for the poor, and in being a presence of light in a dark place. There is a growing dissatisfaction with playing church. The Intelligent Design movement cannot be stopped. Christians have substantially recaptured lost ground in the discipline of philosophy in universities around our land. Rumors of miracles are starting to trickle out of our churches. We are figuring out that the Holy Spirit didn't die when the apostle John was martyred. Tools for spiritual formation are available as never before in my lifetime." |
A call to confront the dominant ideologies of our time--naturalism and pots-modernism--with a vibrant faith that adresses the whole person: mind, soul, and spirit. |

| Insightful and practical, this book helps each person discover and appreciate the purpose of God for his or her life. Then, in plain language, it suggests a plan of action for personal growth. | "It's not about you. The purpose of your life is far greater than your own personal fulfillment, your peace of mind, or even your happiness. It's far greater than your family, your career, or even your wildest dreams and ambitions. If you want to know why you were placed on this planet, you must begin with God. You were born by his purpose and for his purpose." |  |

"Is Christianity true? Can an intelligent, college-educated person really believe the Bible? Or do the atheists have it right? Has Christianity been disproven by science, debunked as a force for good, and discredited as a guide to morality?" |
A brilliant and scholarly, yet thoroughly readable, defense of the Christian faith. |

We are currently experiencing a transforming moment in the history of religion worldwide. Over the last five centuries, Christianity’s history has been inextricably bound up with that of the West... Over the last century, however, the Christian world’s center of gravity has been shifting inexorably southwards, to Africa, Asia, and |
The face of the church is changing as a result of the fast changing demographics of the world in the 21st century. If present trends hold, Christianity will grow in number and influence globally, but the Christian church of our children will look significantly different than that of our parents. |
