What is the Point of Being a Christian? has been awarded the prestigious Michael Ramsey prize for the best in theological writing. For more information please visit: www.michaelramseyprize.org.uk What is the Point of being a Christian? One is pointed to God, who is the point of everything. If one thinks of religion as just 'useful' then one has reduced it to another consumer product. But if we are pointed to God, then this should make a difference to how we live. This is not a moral superiority. Christians are usually no better than anyone else. But the lives of Christians should be marked by some form of hope, freedom, happiness and courage. If they are not then why should anyone believe a word they say? In this new book, Timothy Radcliffe is at his best, writing with a prophetic edge. His argument for Christian belief is profoundly Catholic and profoundly human. But what is just as remarkable, Radcliffe's argument for and interpretation of Christian Gospel is couched in a deep understanding of human nature and the problems and anxieties of modern men and women. Radcliffe is far distant from the theologian's ivory tower and yet his understanding of the Gospel is profoundly theological. The frame of reference for this book is wide, and it is based amongst other things on Fr Radcliffe's pastoral experience of dealing with people with problematic marriages, those struggling with celibacy, those trying to understand the nature of religious authority and those trying to remain loyal to the Church which finds their sexual orientation 'irregular'.

Is the point of following Jesus simply getting to heaven? Do we put our faith in God and just wait for the day when we get to leave this world behind and find peace? Is Christianity nothing more than the practice of staying faithful long enough that we are on the right side of the fence when we die? Something just doesn’t seem right about that. The God that we see in the Exodus is bigger than the gods of the world. The work of Jesus changes more than just one’s eternal final destination. The practice of discipleship and following Jesus is more meaningful than simply keeping us safe. Maybe the questions you’ve asked or the problems you’ve observed with the Church don’t reveal doubts or unfaithfulness. Maybe they express a craving for what God really wants to do that goes beyond the common culture and teachings of the Church. It’s not that the Church is wrong in everything it says or teaches, but there is something more important we need to embrace for the rest of it to actually makes sense. Christianity isn’t about checking boxes and going to heaven—it’s about being restored to the image of God.

Written by an L. A. County homicide detective and former atheist, Cold-Case Christianity examines the claims of the New Testament using the skills and strategies of a hard-to-convince criminal investigator. Christianity could be defined as a “cold case”: it makes a claim about an event from the distant past for which there is little forensic evidence. In Cold-Case Christianity, J. Warner Wallace uses his nationally recognized skills as a homicide detective to look at the evidence and eyewitnesses behind Christian beliefs. Including gripping stories from his career and the visual techniques he developed in the courtroom, Wallace uses illustration to examine the powerful evidence that validates the claims of Christianity. A unique apologetic that speaks to readers’ intense interest in detective stories, Cold-Case Christianity inspires readers to have confidence in Christ as it prepares them to articulate the case for Christianity.

The Christian Athlete is a gospel-centered guide that assists athletes who identify as Christians and are seeking to understand how to practically apply their faith to their sport. Athletes desire—and deserve—a more substantive expression of the Christian faith in the context of sport, but they don’t know what it looks like or where to turn to learn more. Author Brian Smith shares his story as an athlete and coach, and his experience working with high-level athletes in the last decade to help readers better understand how to integrate faith and sport by: Assisting those who want a wide-angled understanding of how to live the Christian faith in the context of sports Walking through the many questions Christian athletes ask about winning, losing, injuries, practice, and everything in between Moving Christian athletes from simply having clichéd spiritual sayings decorating their bodies or t-shirts to actually living out their faith through all the opportunities their sport offers them The Christian Athlete will show readers how to live out a biblical perspective on athletics and urge them to engage in the gifts they are given to glorify God whether they are the team MVP or riding the bench.

Why Are You a Christian? You may be an apostle, prophet, evangelist, teacher, or pastor. You may be a church administrator, elder, deacon, usher, chorister, or Bible class teacher. Perhaps you even lead a fellowship group or assist in other ministries in your church. All of these are important services to your fellowship. But do you realize that as important as these functions are, they are not the ultimate purpose of Christianity? The value we attach to all things is determined by our understanding and appreciation of their purpose. If we do not understand the basic reasons why God created Christianity, how can we fulfill our role in His kingdom and qualify for rewards at the end? How can we truly value our relationship with God? Far too many people today are believers for reasons outside of the true purpose of Christianity; this has hindered their spiritual growth and led to various abuses and anomalies in the Church. The Ultimate Purpose of Christianity will help you effectively maximize the benefits of Christianity by redirecting your efforts to its true purpose. In particular, you will learn how to: Have a deeper understanding of the ultimate purpose of Christianity Appreciate the urgent need to realign yourself with that purpose Discover how to actually realign yourself with that purpose Be empowered to seek that purpose, giving it the commitment, devotion, and priority it deserves In Matthew 22:14, Jesus says, "Many are called, but few are chosen." To be among the few chosen to fulfill Christianity's purpose, we must diligently pursue what God has called us to do. This book is a must read for those who seek to fulfill their role in God's kingdom. Pastor A.O. Asabor voluntarily retired from the oil industry in June, 2008, and is now an itinerant teaching minister with a passion to see Christians grow in the Lord. He is committed to preparing Christians for the imminent return of the Master, a passion that is evident in all his teachings. In addition to ministering to churches and fellowships, he impacts lives through the Divine Facts Magazine. Through The Ultimate Purpose of Christianity, he hopes to expand the ministry's coverage and give believers worldwide the opportunity to drink from the rivers of living water flowing through this ministry. He is married with four children.

This book continues the discussions in "What a piece of work: on being human" (Imprint Academic 2006) and may be considered its sequel. Among all the creatures in the physical universe, humans seem to be more than simply physical, because they are aware of being creatures in the universe. Human beings essentially belong to the world of nature, yet stand out as the most complex and fascinating of all living beings. Like and also unlike other animals, they respond to what happens to them; they make plans and carry them out; they recognize one another, sometimes lovingly; they make friends and enjoy their company; they shape the world around them for convenience and for delight; they ask questions both practical and theoretical; and many of them try to praise God. In What a Piece of Work, Helen Oppenheimer considered humankind as part of the natural universe which Christians believe God set in motion, asking how human beings stand among other creatures and how they are to be valued. In this volume she leaves aside comparisons with our fellow creatures in order to attend to our own experience. It makes a good start to think of oneself as a human animal, but then we need to go further and ask what does it mean to be a person, to be counted as someone?

The question of what Christianity wants, what Christianity is, has become acute. Today others are not simply saying something different, but often the same thing. Non-Christians too are in favour of love, justice, a meaning to life, being good, humanity. And in practice they often go further than Christians in this respect. But if others say the same thing, what is the point of being a Christian? Today Christianity is involved everywhere in a double confrontation: with the great world religions on the one hand and with the non-Christian "secular" humanisms on the other. And today the question is thrust even on the Christian who has hitherto been institutionally sheltered and ideologically immunized in the churches: compared with the world religions and modern humanisms, is Christianity something essentially different, really something special?

Life Is Never Mainly About Love and Marriage. So Learn to Live and Date for More. Many of you grew up assuming that marriage would meet all of your needs and unlock God's purposes for you. But God has far more planned for you than your future marriage. Not Yet Married is not about waiting quietly in the corner of the world for God to bring you "the one," but about inspiring you to live and date for more now. If you follow Jesus, the search for a spouse is no longer a pursuit of the perfect person, but a pursuit of more of God. He will likely write a love story for you different than the one you would write for yourself, but that's because he loves you and knows how to write a better story. This book was written to help you find real hope, happiness, and purpose in your not-yet-married life.

We live in an era in which being a Christian is neither popular nor politically correct. As a millennial, author Amy Skoll is watching an entire generation question their faith and walk away from the church as they struggle to reconcile biblical truth with political and cultural trends. But Skoll believes that it is possible to be effective ambassadors for Christ in a world that does not understand Christian beliefs, customs, convictions, and experiences—in spite of the difficulties inherent in that role. Missing the Point, therefore, offers a fresh take from the perspective of a millennial on how to create an attitude shift among believers and to help them think about the areas of life in which they might be missing the point. As ambassadors for Christ, we do not want to come across as insensitive to the culture and belief systems of those around us. But at the same time, it is our job to accurately represent the gospel without succumbing to a watered-down, empty version of Christianity in the process. With the guidance provided here, you can refresh your faith, amplify your love for God, restore your hope, and feel empowered to take on the mission of Christ in a world that is increasingly in opposition to Christianity and what it stands for.
