American Milk and Honey

The Jews are our prodigal older brother. When they come home, it will be glory for the world. How should we think of them in the meantime?

Many mistaken Christians have set their hope for the future on a rebuilt Temple in Israel. Others justify their own envy with daydreams of Jewish cabals. But dispensational obsession on the one hand and antisemitic spite on the other aren’t the only options.

In this book, Douglas Wilson calls us to simple, biblical sanity, with clear thinking on Christian/Jewish relations, the Middle East, and the Holocaust, as well as a thorough Reformed theology of the Jews and the Church.

The key to the conversion of the Jews is Christendom. And if American Christians repent of their envy—including antisemitism—the key to Christendom is in their hands.

 

Let the Stones Cry Out

"Architecture speaks. It is not possible for human beings to live in architectural silence. When congregations build church buildings, this is either a testimony or a mask." 

Today we see many magnificent old church buildings abandoned because the Gospel went out of them long ago. However, good architecture and the proclamation of the Gospel should go hand in hand.

Jesus Christ by his death on the cross made the kingdoms of this world His. The architecture of our church buildings should proclaim His lordship.

In Let the Stones Cry Out, Douglas Wilson reflects on what a Christian church should look like, and how human nature wants to get it wrong. A glorious building without the gospel will soon be empty, and an ugly building is lying about the nature of our salvation.

From fundraising to the first Sunday, Douglas Wilson provides much-needed wisdom on how to go about building a church and filling it so as to expand greatly the opportunities for ministry, locally and nationally. After all, worshipping God is not a means to another end. Worshipping God is the highest calling that any human being has. It requires no other justification.

Devoured By Cannabis

A blunt rebuke of high society. 

Many conservatives are ready to give up on fighting against the legalization of marijuana. “Hasn’t the war on drugs been a complete failure?” they ask. And libertarians turn this surrender into a virtue: “People should be free to do what they want, as long as they’re not hurting anyone.” But as Christians, we must be ready to swim against the tide even when it’s no longer cool. (And no, we don’t do it by making unsubstantiated claims about Reefer Madness.)

In Devoured by Cannabis, Douglas Wilson establishes from Scripture that marijuana usage is not comparable to alcohol consumption or to smoking cigarettes, and demonstrates that getting stoned is not an option for believers. Then he explains why keeping marijuana illegal is not a pointless battle but an important cultural watershed for every citizen. When we are deciding which laws are best, wisdom considers not just individual license but also which industries, penalties, and incentives we are putting in place. Liberty for potheads means tyranny for everyone, including the smokers enslaved by the drug.

 

Right Behind

From Jerry Jenkins Himself: "If they're right [the parody author/publisher], then millions of evangelicals are silly and goofy and stupid and are being misled by people with ill motives. If we're that offbase and doing a disservice to the church, it's all that much worse because of how popular our stuff is."

From Mrs. Jenkins: “The bit about the Antichrist getting stuck between the toilet and the tub was crass and tacky. Not funny at all.”

LaHaye and Jenkins' best-selling apocalyptic fiction novel, Left Behind, is already so ridiculous that it's hard to make a parody of it. Yet the conservative Christian author, Nathan Wilson, bravely sets forth to push it over the top. Tweaked versions of all the original characters work together in an absurd tangle of Evangelical goofiness struggling to make sense of the pathetically gnostic vision of the original story. You won't want to miss all body parts, cats, and youth pastors left behind, Buff Williamson's Ivy League deductions, Haddie the Whore of Babylon, or the climactic struggle with the Tulsa Antichrist in a Christian "book store." If you regret reading Left Behind, read Right Behind to ease that pain with laughter.

 

The Mantra of Jabez

Be a kipper for God.

Bruce Wilkinson's best-selling book, The Prayer of Jabez, is so popular with Evangelicals it just had to be bad. Wilkinson told us to be "gimpers" for God; Jones shows us how to be kippers for God. In this parody the conservative Christian author allows humor to reveal the more ridiculous assumptions driving the original book.

Each chapter of the original is turned inside out so that we can really see what's being said. Though the parody is rather ruthless in its humor, it is not hopelessly cynical just for the sake of mockery. It points to a more constructive vision, a vision of Christianity's inherent riches of truth, beauty, and goodness that the original Jabez book passively trivializes. Get this parody for the laughs; get it for something greater.

Confessions of a Food Catholic

You can sin with food in many ways: by not sharing it, by eating way too much of it, or by throwing it across the restaurant table, for example. But you do not sin with food by bowing your head over it, saying grace with true gratitude in your heart, and tucking in.

You can sin with food in many ways—by not sharing it, by eating way too much of it, by throwing it across the restaurant table... But you do not sin with food by bowing your head over it, saying grace with true gratitude in your heart, and tucking in. Sharp-edged but humorous, Confessions of a Food Catholic addresses the unscriptural approach to food that many Christians have developed in recent years. (By the way, a "food catholic" is somebody who accepts all eaters of all foods, even if he or she doesn't actually eat quinoa.) Specifically, the book addresses divisive threats to Christian table fellowship, the know-it-all pride of newfangled "health food" rules, and the dislocated moralism that makes "organic" and "natural" the signs of righteousness while disdaining the brethren who buy their beef at Stuffmart.

Spectacular Hat!

I love everything about this hat! The dye of the wool/blend, first of all, is beautiful. Very rich and vibrant. The stitching is perfect, even the logo both outside the hat, and the tag on the inside just have such a quality look and feel. I’ve paid twice as much for a hat like this and not been as happy. very classy! Keep up the good work - it’s not everyday you stumble upon quality this good.

This topic isn’t talked about enough and Doug (also my with others) are just getting the ball rolling. Someone needs to take a stand for fathers and fathers need to take a stand. True sons of true fathers will take this world.

As a woman, this rang so true!! Well done! I wish every young woman would read this!!

Boisterous

I love the levity around danger. Helps my boys be brave and silly in a way that speaks to them. Very original. I look forward to reading this not just to my sons, but to my grandsons someday.

Excellent children's book

This is already a favorite with my 3yr old grandson. The story is God fearing, relevant to our culture's current sins, engaging and memorable. The art work is well done and enjoyable to both child and adult.

Hello Ninja, Hello Stage Fright

More Sea Shanties!

Read them 1 at a time.

I was surprised to find out this that this particular collection was wrought with heavy ideas. I found that I could only read 1-2 chapters without feeling like I needed to stop to soak it all in. However, this is a blessing because I have something I have to keep coming back to complete.

I’m a “worship leader” in a lutheran church with stronger evangelical/pentecostal leanings and I recommend this book to ANY church that is struggling to find the identity of their worship service. Music is a big part of that.

Also, Mr. Wilson speaks on listening to “worldly” music. As a pentecostal, this is a no no. As in sin. But mr. Wilson takes the time to explain the actual reasons behind it. Something a youth pastor could definitely hold a discussion with.

Anyway. Recommend.
Why 4 stars? I don’t want to be accused of being a fan boy. Which I accuse myself of being. Sorry about the rating. I hope it doesn’t come back to haunt me.

Blah Blah Black Sheep

Excellent read. I listened to the audiobook this past summer and wanted a copy for my classroom.

Incredible.

I'm going through stage 4 cancer right now and this book has been a true help to me. Short enough chapters to consume, yet rich in depth and application.

Death by Living: Life Is Meant to Be Spent

The Stench of Death is the Perfume of Life

I never noticed my children trying to catch dust mites until after this book. Nathan is an incredible writer and writes in a way where his words are almost palpable. At the wrap up of this book I can't help but slow down my life and enjoy the youth of my children. This isn't going to be just a shelf book, but a yearly read and then an inheritance.

Love it

Crispin's Rainy Day

Fantastic quality.

Fluffy and Comfy

A very classy-looking cap. It is wool, so I wouldn't recommend wearing it in the summer, but for those cool fall days it works great! And, of course, the money goes to a great cause. Buy and enjoy, O Alumnus!

Great books with amazing illustrations and morals to the story, worthy of being produced into movies, only complaint is I wish they were longer so I could enjoy more of the world and characters 🙏🏽

To a Thousand Generations: Infant Baptism - Covenant Mercy for the People of God

Wonderful read so far

I’m about half way through the book. Love it. Terrific style. Much to learn.

Very comfortable & well constructed. It is definitely a cold weather hat (50% wool & dark blue). I won’t be wearing in the summer while fishing in TX. But I am wearing it now.

Our son has devoured this (and the rest of
N. D. Wilson’s books). We listen to SASF during weekly car rides from the White Mountains of NH to coastal ME visiting grandparents. This is how he learned about Silent Bells: Ashtown Burials #4.

Oh, NOW I understand.

I ordered this book for help in reading Much Ado About Nothing. The chapter on that play alone was worth the price of admission.
I was NOT classically trained. I am a public school graduate. I learn, almost daily, how much I missed in my education! We homeschooled our kids, Christian and classical. And now our grands are being homeschooled. Doug and Nancy Wilson have supported us from the very beginning, nearly 30 years ago! We are so very grateful for your faithfulness, your hard work and your contagious joy! You all bless us, daily! May God continue to richly bless you and increase your tribe!
Thank you!
