The Kingdom of Cain

Pre-buy this item to ensure you receive a copy when it releases. Pre-buys are shipped when inventory is received. This item is expected to be released on&nbsp;May 6, 2025.
In a world that often seems so broken, how can we "rejoice always?" In&nbsp;The Kingdom of Cain, author Andrew Klavan explores how engaging with the dark side of human nature through art can help illuminate the joy and beauty of life.&nbsp;
The Kingdom of Cain looks at three murders in history, including the first murder, Cain killing Abel, and it analyzes the art created from imaginative engagement by artists including Fyodor Dostoevsky and Alfred Hitchcock. To make beauty out of the world as it is--shot through with evil and injustice and suffering--is the task not just of the artist but, Klavan argues, of every life rightly lived.
Klavan eloquently argues that it is&nbsp;possible to be clear-eyed about the evil in the world while remaining hope-filled about God's ability to redeem it all.

The Benefit of Doubt

Pre-buy this item to ensure you receive a copy when it releases. Pre-buys are shipped when inventory is received. This item is expected to be released on February 18, 2025.
Almost all of us have had questions and doubts about Christianity and God. "Is it really true?" "Am I the only one who has doubts?" "What would happen if my family and friends found out I'm doubting my faith in God?" "Am I a bad Christian for having doubts?" We are afraid of never finding answers, but we also aren't sure if we are ready to abandon our faith.
Pastor Craig Groeschel has walked through the valley of doubt himself. In&nbsp;The Benefit of Doubt, he shows us how asking questions, seeking answers, and wrestling with doubt can actually draw us closer to God. Using his trademark humor, warmth, and open-book honesty, Craig shares stories from both his own life and from the Bible to help us wrestle with and find the answers to the questions behind our doubt:
<ul style="list-style-type: circle;">
<li>What should I do when I doubt God's goodness?</li>
<li>Why doesn't God answer my prayers?</li>
<li>Doesn't science disprove the Bible?</li>
<li>Why would God only provide one way to heaven?</li>
<li>Why believe in Jesus when his followers are such hypocrites?</li>
<li>Why does God sometimes feel so far away?</li>
</ul>
