Church of Cowards: A Wake-Up Call to Complacent Christians by Matt Walsh

A wake-up call for today's church.

Christians in the Middle East, in much of Asia, and in Africa are still being martyred for the faith, but how many American Christians are willing to lay down their smartphones, let alone their lives, for the faith?

Being a Christian in America doesn’t require much these days. Suburban megachurches are more like entertainment venues than places to worship God. The lives that American “Christians” lead aren’t much different from those of their atheist neighbors, and their knowledge of theology isn’t much better either.

Matt Walsh of The Daily Wire exposes the pitiful state of Christianity in America today, lays out the stakes for us, our families, and our eternal salvation, and invites us to a faith that’s a lot less easy and comfortable — but that’s more real and actually worth something.

The spiritual junk food we’re stuffing ourselves with is never going to satisfy. As St. Augustine said over a millennium ago, our hearts are restless until they rest in Him. Only God Himself can make our lives anything but ultimately meaningless and empty. And we will never get anywhere near Him if we refuse to take up our cross and follow Jesus.

This rousing call to the real adventure of a living faith is a wake-up call to complacent Christians and a rallying cry for anyone dissatisfied with a lukewarm faith.

I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist by Norman L. Geisler and Frank Turek

You think it takes faith to believe in God? Try being an atheist!

What if disbelief requires more faith than belief itself? In this clear, compelling work, Norman Geisler and Frank Turek challenge the assumption that Christianity is irrational, arguing instead that it offers the most reasonable explanation for reality, morality, and meaning.

With sharp logic and accessible language, the authors invite readers to examine the foundations of belief and unbelief alike. They explore why something exists rather than nothing, where moral truth comes from, and whether the New Testament can be trusted as a historical record. Rather than asking readers to abandon reason, this book insists that faith and reason belong together.

Whether you’re questioning Christianity for the first time or looking to strengthen your ability to defend your faith with confidence, this book offers a rational, engaging guide through life’s biggest questions.

For readers who refuse to let reason and faith be in conflict.

Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis

A timeless Christian classic that continues to challenge, convict, and inspire ...

Our moral consciousness and moral judgements are proof to the human race that a moral being exists.

Mere Christianity explores the core beliefs of Christianity by providing an unequaled opportunity for believers and nonbelievers alike to hear a powerful, rational case for the Christian faith. A brilliant collection, Mere Christianity remains strikingly fresh for the modern reader and at the same time confirms C. S. Lewis’s reputation as one of the leading writer and thinkers of our age.

The book brings together Lewis’ legendary discussions on topics that everyone is curious about: right and wrong, human nature, morality, marriage, sins, forgiveness, faith, hope, generosity, and kindness.

"C.S. Lewis is the ideal persuader for the half-convinced, for the good man who would like to be a Christian but finds his intellect getting in the way." ~ Anthony Burgess, New York Times Book Review

A Jesus Shaped Life: How Diving Deeper into Theology Can Transform Us and Our World with the Radical Kindness of God by Lisa Harper

An unstuffy, unintimidating invitation to greater intimacy with God ...

The most basic definition of theology is words (logos) about God (theos). Conversations, if you will, about the most important thing in life--developing a real, ongoing, vibrant relationship with God Himself.

With her signature style and wit, bestselling author and Bible teacher Lisa Harper invites you into this life-giving conversation. She makes theology engaging, practical, and applicable by explaining how academic-sounding concepts--such as imago Dei, atonement, the Trinity, the transcendence and immanence of Christ, and much more--are not rigid theoretical propositions but transformative realities that we get to live out with God and with other people.

If you want more joy and peace with God and you feel called to make more of a Jesus-shaped dent in the world around you, then it's time to dive deeper into biblically sound theology. With Lisa as your guide, this is guaranteed to be quite the adventure!
