If there is to be real renewal in Christian life, a culture steeped in the blood of the Lamb, saints must rise up to seed it. Only the witness of sanctity can save us now. More than ever, we need heroic men of God like St. Ignatius of Antioch, bishop and martyr of the early Church, whose life and letters Dr. Regis Martin illuminates in these stirring pages. No other writer of the Apostolic Age has expressed with such passion, such blazing intensity, an ardent thirst for God as St. Ignatius, traveling in chains across Asia Minor toward the Colosseum.

You recite it. But do you understand it? The Apostles’ Creed has become so familiar to us that we don’t think about what we’re saying. Christians from different times, places, and traditions have been united by its eternal truths. We believe them, we recite them, but do we build our lives on them? The fact that so many in the early church died for their faith means they were caught up in something greater than themselves. What were those truths? How did they empower a revolution?

You’ll see it from the view of Christ, the Great Commission, first-century Christians, Paul, and the New Testament canon itself. Once you see it, you can’t un-see it! This book walks through these steps: A.

Imagine having a job where your workplace is a centuries-old palace, your outfit is steeped in symbolism, and your words reach an audience of over a billion people every time you speak. That’s just a glimpse into the life of the Pope—one of the most visible, influential, and intriguing figures in the world. But there’s far more to the papacy than grand ceremonies and global headlines. The Pope is not just a religious leader; he’s a symbol, a diplomat, a shepherd, and the head of a global institution that spans every continent.

St Gregory of Nyssa is known to theologians as one of the three great Cappadocian Fathers who are credited with the final clarification of the doctrine of the Trinity in the late fourth century. Few have ventured to study his role as a bishop who took pains to teach his flock the mysteries of the faith and how to lead a good Christian life. This short study delves into the moral teaching that St Gregory delivered to his audience by analyzing the specific sins about which he is teaching. Given that he preached all over Roman Anatolia, the details found in his homilies give us some insight ...

FAIRACRES PUBLICATIONS 120 Scholars have often concentrated on the theological writings of St Athanasius (c. 296-373 AD) and on his influence as a religious leader, so that his contribution to the monastic life has not received due recognition. In these six letters addressed to monks, Athanasius is revealed as a wise spiritual guide and loving pastor, determined that the monks should receive sound teaching, so as to avoid the pitfalls of heresies current at that time. As Leslie Barnard notes in his Introduction, ‘The permanent significance of these letters lies in their wisdom, moderation...

What if you could lead like Jesus—not just with heart or vision, but with both—and with eternal purpose? Servant leadership puts people first. Transformational leadership casts bold visions that inspire growth. Both are powerful—but neither fully captures how Jesus led. Jesus didn’t just care about people. He didn’t just motivate them with a mission. He led as a steward—appointed by the Father, faithful to His calling, and committed to a purpose far greater than Himself. Steward leadership builds on the best of both models and completes them. It serves others without ...

The church is the origin, means, and end of missions. Scripture calls on missionaries to start and strengthen churches where new believers—and more missionaries—can grow. But today, many Christians downplay the role of the church in favor of pragmatism and parachurch ministries, weakening the missions cause. In this brief guide, pastors John Folmar and Scott Logsdon share their decades of experience working as pastors in Muslim countries, showing how healthy churches are essential for fulfilling the Great Commission.

The passing of a Pope is one of the most solemn and symbolic events in the world, an occurrence that transcends religious boundaries and captivates global attention. It marks the end of an era—not just for the 1.3 billion Catholics who view the Pope as the spiritual successor to Saint Peter, but for historians, political leaders, and observers across the planet. When a Pope dies, centuries of tradition awaken, setting into motion a series of elaborate, almost mystical, protocols that blend theology, politics, symbolism, and deep-rooted human emotion.

Few men in history have shaken the foundations of a nation like John Knox. This legendary man of God was a fiery preacher, fearless reformer, and unwavering champion of Protestantism.
