Description: Mark Dever addresses twelve major challenges that faced the church in the first century and that still face the church today.

The church Paul had seen established in Corinth in the first century was young and full of life and just as full of problems. No single church in the New Testament had so many and such a diversity of problems. The church was plagued by partisanship, pride, immorality, false teachers, super-spirituality and the list goes on.

In his latest book Mark Dever, longtime pastor and leading authority on the subject of church health, tackles twelve challenges that confronted the church in first-century Corinth and churches today, including: division, asceticism, disobedience, legalism, autonomy, thoughtlessness, selfishness, and decline. As he presents each challenge, Dever provides ways for individuals and churches to respond to these challenges biblically. He writes for both church leaders and laymen, insisting that the health of the local church should be the concern of every believer.

Description: This exciting new apologetics book offers a tour-de-force refutation of 30 major arguments raised against the papacy. Using Scripture, Church history, and common sense (with a dash of wit added for good measure), Patrick Madrid explains why these commonly believed "pope fictions" simply don't hold water.

Fr. Ray Ryland, a former Protestant minister and now a Catholic priest, says, "In a very readable style, Pope Fiction catalogs and refutes those fictions charitably and completely. Had it been available when I first began to be drawn to the Church, my journey home would have been years shorter."

Catholic author and apologist David Hess praises its "amazing clarity and readability."

Former Protestant minister Marcus Grodi (now Catholic and host of the popular EWTN show 'The Journey Home') describes Pope Fiction as "concise and complete with a welcome tinge of humor. I highly recommend this book to all those who are looking for truth. They'll find it here."

The myths and misconceptions about the papacy covered in Pope Fiction include: The persistent "Pope Joan" myth about a ninth-century female pope, the popes' involvement in the Crusades and Spanish Inquizition, what the New Testament reveals about Simon Peter's role in the early Christian Church, the attitude of the early Church toward the bishops of Rome, the scandal of bad popes, the Galileo Affair, the papacy's track record on slavery, the Seventh-Day Adventist myth about the bogus "Vicarius Filii Dei" papal "title," historical issues pertaining to the papacy, specific examples of popes who allegedly taught error, and the facts surrounding Pope Pius XII's attitude toward the Jews during the Holocaust.

Arranged in 30 tightly focused chapters, Pope Fiction provides a balanced, comprehensive overview of the major arguments against the papacy and provides the biblical, historical and commonsense responses to those arguments. Pope Fiction is engaging and charitable, yet challenging and hard-hitting.

Description: Sanctorum Communio was Dietrich Bonhoeffer's dissertation, completed in 1927 and first published in 1930. In it he attempts to work out a theology of the person in society, and then, particularly, in the church. Along with enlightening us about his early positions on sin, evil, solidarity, collective spirit, and collective guilt, the volume unfolds a systematic theology of the Spirit at work in the church and what this implies for questions of authority, freedom, ritual, and eschatology.

Here is offered the complete text in translation, annotated by the German and American editors. The historical context is explained and textual commentary is provided in a Foreword and Afterword.

Description: Gaudium et Spes was one of the key documents to come out of Vatican II. It created a new chapter in conciliar history because for the first time a general council sought to tackle a wide range of problems that affected the life of Catholics: human rights, society, marriage and the family, culture, politics, economics, international relations, and war and peace. This decree corresponded more closely than any other to Pope John XXIII's desire that Vatican II's approach be pastoral, and because of that it may be considered the "crown jewel" of the council.

In this book Norman Tanner, the foremost authority on the decree, traces its evolution from its beginnings to its eventual promulgation at the end of the council in December 1965. He reviews its reception by the Catholic Church and other Christian churches, and its possible future influence.

--Gives everyday Catholics a look at the inner workings of the council

--those who have heard about Vatican II, but never really known what its significance for them and their Church is will read this book with interest.

--for the first time tells the story of this decree both at the council and subsequently

--a useful teaching tool in colleges, seminaries, church circles, and for individuals

Description: This book is for church leaders, missionaries, evangelists, and all those who wish to learn about this refreshing way of planting churches and becoming dynamic cells of life for Jesus Christ. The decline of the traditional church in the West has met with the emergence of new ways of being the people of God. One of these is the phenomenal growth of cell churchessmall groups of committed Christians meeting in homes and spawning new cells with enthusiasm. While the cell church movement is still small in most Western countries, it is likely to become a major player in the church of the future. In countries like China, Singapore, and Malaysia it is the most popular vehicle for their extraordinary explosion of Christianity.
