In Accidental Saints, New York Times best-selling au­thor Nadia Bolz-Weber invites readers into a surprising encounter with what she calls "a religious but not-so-spiritual life." Tattooed, angry and profane, this former standup comic turned pastor stubbornly, sometimes hilariously, resists the God she feels called to serve. But God keeps showing up in the least likely of people - a church-loving agnostic, a drag queen, a felonious Bishop and a gun-toting member of the NRA.

Each of the stories in this collection was freely volunteered for inclusion by members of the ‘Personal Ghost Stories’ Facebook group, with the events which they relate stated to have involved the contributor ...

“You can sing! But are you anointed?” “You are gifted! But are you teachable?” Leading God’s people in worship under an open heaven requires a prayer life, a relationship with God and so much more. Written by a seasoned Worship Leader, The Worship Manual covers topics that are not often discussed in books on worship. It addresses a problem in the local church where people are promoted based on evidence of talent without cultivating their gifts and developing their spiritual maturity for worship ministry. We must recognize that Worship Leaders are still children of God that need ...

As "Mormon royalty" within the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Martha Beck was raised in a home frequented by the Church's high elders, known as the apostles, and her existence was framed by their strict code of conduct.

When a young writer accepts a job at a university in the remote English countryside, it's meant to be a fresh start, away from the bustle of London and the scene of a violent assault she is desperate to forget.

When a troubled student starts turning in chapters that blur the lines between fiction and reality, the professor recognizes herself as the main character in his book - and he has written her a horrific fate.

What if the delay in your breakthrough, the confusion in your calling, and the sabotage in your progress weren’t random—but carefully orchestrated by someone who knows your every move? Someone listening to your prayers, watching your fasting, and leaking your destiny to the camp of the enemy? In the realm of spiritual warfare, silence is not safety, and exposure is not always visible. There is a sinister network of satanic informants—spiritual and human agents—planted to monitor your life, report your every advancement, and sabotage your divine assignment. These informants operate ...

In this taut inquiry, Posner digs deep into the radical history of the religious right to reveal how issues of race and xenophobia have always been at the movement’s core, and how religion often cloaked anxieties about perceived threats to a white, Christian America. Fueled by an antidemocratic impulse, and united by this narrative of reverse victimization, the religious right and the alt-right support a common agenda.

Active Shooter—a term recently coined that sends chills up the spines of principles, teachers, parents…and now pastors and parishioners. The FBI defines an active shooter as “an individual actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a confined and populated area, typically through the use of firearms.” Active Killer is a more fitting term. What is the biblical approach to this threat? Christians are struggling with how to respond. Do we trust God and pray for his protection? Do we “turn the other cheek” and do nothing when someone threatens to kill us? Do we take...

Critics of contemporary economics complain that belief in free markets - among economists as well as many ordinary citizens - is a form of religion. And, it turns out, that in a deeper, more historically grounded sense there is something to that idea. Contrary to the conventional historical view of economics as an entirely secular product of the Enlightenment, Benjamin M. Friedman demonstrates that religion exerted a powerful influence from the outset.

Jesus promised that he would build his church and that she would be a beautiful bride, holy and blameless before him; but as I look at the modern church our experience falls far short of his promises. The Holy Spirit has not lost his power and Jesus has not changed his mind, so the problem must be at our end. It seems that our Father is unwilling to entrust the fullness of his Spirit to our wineskins. Desperate situations call for radical change. More of the same will not get us to where we want to be. If we want the new wine of the Holy Spirit, we must shape our wineskins according to ...
