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.

This is a great little kids book! Does seem a bit pricey but my kids enjoy the story!

Great Title

Unlike any book I have read before.

Fantastic book that every Christian girl should read, and the book i wish i had as a teenager!

Timely, accurate and helpful!

Joe Rigney’s message rings true and clear in ‘The Sin of Empathy’ accurately diagnosing the excesses of post modernism in advancing judgment free mercy without actually helping. Rigney champions real compassion and provides solid footing for defending a Christian approach to care that does not cave to wokeism. Well done - heartily recommended.

Anyone who has to deal with anyone needs this

As I’m ending my Air Force career after 9 years of maneuvering around exhausting and emotionally-draining leadership, God couldn’t have brought this book into my life at a better time. This book is necessary for any leader who wants to not only keep their integrity, but be able to reflect Christ’s wholeness in a broken world

Great book and illustrations. My son loves it so much he went as Crispin for his “Favorite book character Parade”

Great book

Fantastic thoughts and wisdom!

Great Book!

This is an excellent breakdown of this touchy subject. I thoroughly enjoyed reading Chapter 6 on what true compassion looks like.

The Art of the Steer

Joe Rigney's analysis of the sin of empathy is helpful for many reasons, but mostly because it offers a detailed anatomy of how those who just want to "help you," use empathy to steer leaders and organizations into a competing or contrary vision. If you are a leader, then someone is trying to steer you where they want you to go. Understanding how they use the sin of empathy to manipulate you and try and get you there is invaluable information.

This book offers a brilliant, modern take on 'The Screwtape Letters,' tailored specifically for women. Beautifully written and deeply thought-provoking, it compelled me to examine my own life. The author skillfully blends relatable scenarios with profound truths, creating a narrative that encourages both self-reflection and repentance. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, it was such a unique and powerful perspective on the struggles in a Christian woman's life.
