Is it biblical to design the church service around the preferences of the unchurched? To the Purpose-Driven and seeker-sensitive megachurch, the answer is yes! Through inoffensive preaching and glitzy worship, these churches appeal deliberately to a fast-food generation in search of instant gratification. But does pop-music, drama skits, and short, ear-tickling messages disguised as "church" prostitute authentic ministry? Has the Church been held hostage by capitalism and hoodwinked by opinion polls, marketing pragmatism, self-help ideology, and therapeutic thinking? Written through the lens of Scripture, "Fa$t-Food Churchianity" provides a biblical response to this epidemic sweeping through contemporary evangelicalism in America

Who saves who? To this question the Christian Church has historically offered two answers. Calvinists insist that God saves sinners by grace, irrespective of human will, whereas Arminians believe that sinners save themselves by freely choosing to cooperate with God's grace. While both sides champion divine sovereignty in election, they disagree over its scope and to what extent God exercises it. In "The Scandal of Sovereignty" both Calvinism and Arminianism are put to the acid test of Scripture. Each is examined under the light of historical orthodoxy. When the dust settles, one lionheart is left standing-the Doctrines of Grace.

Once feared as a terrorist bent on the destruction of the Christian Church, the apostle Paul converted to Christianity by divine miracle at the peak of his tyranny. His extraordinary conversion ultimately proved to be the Church's greatest triumph. Three missionary journeys, thirteen epistles, and twenty-five years later, the former Pharisee cemented his legacy as a man of exceeding faith who turned the world upside down as an ambassador for Christ. Novelized with dramatic flair and scholarship, A Hebrew of Hebrews promises to instill in the reader a new appreciation for the greatest Christian the Church has even received.
