In an increasingly secular world, it's difficult to defend biblical values. What are the current issues affecting our society, and how can we lovingly share the truth with our neighbors?

We Who Wrestle with God

In&nbsp;We Who Wrestle with God, Dr. Peterson guides us through the ancient, foundational stories of the Western world. In riveting detail, he analyzes the Biblical accounts of rebellion, sacrifice, suffering, and triumph that stabilize, inspire, and unite us culturally and psychologically. Adam and Eve and the eternal fall of mankind; the resentful and ultimately murderous war of Cain and Abel; the cataclysmic flood of Noah; the spectacular collapse of the Tower of Babel; Abraham&rsquo;s terrible adventure; and the epic of Moses and the Israelites. What force wrote and assembled them over the long centuries? How did they bring our spirits and the world together, and point us in the same direction?
It is time for us to understand such things, scientifically and spiritually; to become conscious of the structure of our souls and our societies; and to see ourselves and others as if for the first time.

It's Not Like Being Black

We are living in crazy times. Biological men are competing and winning against biological women in sports. The newest Supreme Court justice declined to answer the simple question: &ldquo;What is a woman?&rdquo; Record numbers of young Americans now identify as transgender. Sexually explicit materials permeate schools. Pedophiles have rebranded as &ldquo;minor-attracted persons.&rdquo;
And now sexual identity and gender ideology advocates have hijacked the civil rights movement, co-opting its success for their own insidious purposes. They have sold the lie that sexual identities are equivalent to race and that the fight for the rights of &ldquo;sexual minorities&rdquo; is the final frontier in the struggle for civil rights.
To make matters even worse, many evangelical leaders, eager to appease the culture, have gone along to get along&mdash;even excusing and redefining sinful behavior as a mere &ldquo;sexual identity.&rdquo;
In&nbsp;It&rsquo;s Not Like Being Black, pastor and bestselling author Voddie T. Baucham Jr. equips Christians to fight back against this pervasive sexual identity ideology and stand firm in biblical truths, giving them the courage to:
<ul style="list-style-type: circle;">
<li>Remain vigilant and protect their children from the onslaught of this insidious ideology</li>
<li>Contend for biblical truth in the marketplace of ideas</li>
<li>Boldly celebrate, cherish, and defend true marriage</li>
<li>Willingly suffer as strangers and aliens for holding fast to what the Bible actually says</li>
</ul>

anxious generation

After over a decade of stability or improvement, adolescent mental health plunged in the early 2010s. Why did rates of depression, anxiety, self-harm, and suicide rise sharply?
Social psychologist Jonathan Haidt lays out the facts about the widespread teen mental health crisis. He investigates how play and independent exploration help children mature into competent, thriving adults. He shows the timeline of the decline of "play-based childhood" starting in the 80s and ending with the arrival of the "phone-based childhood" in the early 2010s. He explores how this "great rewiring of childhood" has interfered with children&rsquo;s social and neurological development, covering everything from sleep deprivation to attention fragmentation, addiction, loneliness, social contagion, social comparison, and perfectionism. He also explains why social media damages girls more than boys and why boys have been withdrawing into the virtual world, with disastrous consequences for themselves, their families, and their societies.
He issues a clear call to action by diagnosing the "collective action problems" that trap us and proposing 4 simple rules that might set us free. He describes the steps that parents, teachers, schools, tech companies, and governments can take that can end the mental illness epidemic and restore a more humane childhood.

Toxic Empathy, by Allie Stuckey

We are told that empathy is the key to being a good person, but has "empathy," like so many other words-"tolerance," "justice," "acceptance"- been hijacked by bad actors who exploit compassion for their own political ends?
In&nbsp;Toxic Empathy: How Progressives Exploit Christian Compassion, Allie Stuckey argues that empathy has become a tool of manipulation by left-wing activists who bully people into believing they must adopt progressive positions to be "loving."
Stuckey exposes the logical pitfalls and moral consequences of toxic empathy and equips Christians with research-backed biblical truths.
She explores 5 heated issues through which "toxic empathy" is deployed:
<ol>
<li>Abortion</li>
<li>Gender</li>
<li>Sexuality</li>
<li>Immigration</li>
<li>Social Justice</li>
</ol>
This book isn't about killing empathy. Instead, it's about using our empathy according to God's definitions of love, goodness, and justice.&nbsp;

The War on Men

The idea that masculine men&mdash;assertive, risk-taking, single-minded&mdash;are a problem to be solved threatens our whole society. Cultural elites are trying to erase God&rsquo;s design for half of the human race&mdash;the half that historically provides, protects, and leads for the good of others, and this is bad news for men, and&nbsp;terrible news for women.
What will happen without the men of conviction? Who will be left to face down evil, strengthen families, build churches, and bolster communities? In&nbsp;The War on Men, Owen Strachan addresses those questions with an inspiring blend of cultural analysis, biblical teaching, and passionate exhortation. If men are told they are not needed, they disappear, becoming&nbsp;lost men, or they get frustrated and lash out, becoming&nbsp;angry men, or they go alpha and chase their lusts, becoming&nbsp;exaggerated men, or they lose their masculinity and embrace effeminacy, becoming&nbsp;soft men.
And yet, hope is rooted in the wisdom and grace of God. In His kindness, He transforms lost, angry, exaggerated, and soft men into a force for good in this world.

Does Bible Affirm Same Sex Relationships?

You may have heard the claims that the Bible is not against monogamous, faithful same-sex relationships. "Jesus never talked about same-sex relationships.&rdquo; &ldquo;Paul was only condemning exploitative relationships, not consensual ones." &ldquo;We don&rsquo;t keep the Old Testament food laws, so why would we keep the ones on same-sex sex?&rdquo; &ldquo;If God is love, he can&rsquo;t be against relationships of love.&rdquo; Have Christians been getting this one wrong?
In&nbsp;Does the Bible Affirm Same-Sex Relationships?, Rebecca McLaughlin looks at 10 common arguments used to claim that the Bible affirms same-sex sexual relationships. She analyzes the associated Bible passages to uncover what they really say. As someone with a lifelong history of same-sex attraction, Rebecca seeks the truth for more than just academic reasons.&nbsp;
She points to the gospel purpose of male-female marriage, a different kind of gospel-centered love between believers of the same sex, and God&rsquo;s life-and-love-filled vision for singleness.

A Mission Without Borders

On February 24, 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine. Former Force Recon Marine Chad Robichaux knew that innocent people were about to be exposed to untold brutality, but he also knew that God was inviting him to get involved.
