| “Help!” “He Doesn’t Get What I’m Not Saying!” “She Doesn’t Say What She Means!” Every marriage faces communication problems–whether about sex, vacation, careers, children, or the remote control. Why do guys often feel clueless, no matter how hard they try? Why do women get so tired of dropping hints that they snap? How can something that started out so good, end up so frustrating? Licensed psychologist Dr. Steve Stephens says that communication between genders is truly a cross-cultural experience. The key to communicating well is learning how to interpret the vocabulary, body language, silences, and needs of your spouse–which may be quite different from yours. Using practical insights from his own two decades of marriage and his twenty-five years as a professional counselor, Dr. Stephens uncovers the differences in communication that lead to relationship breakdown. With a fun and exciting look at the reasons behind marital frustrations, he offers a solution so simple, with results so extraordinary, that you will delight to know what your spouse is really saying–and learn how true communication can change your marriage forever. About the Author Dr. Steve Stephens is a licensed psychologist, marriage and family therapist, and seminar speaker. A clinical member of the American Psychology Association and the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapists, he has counseled couples and individuals for more than twenty-five years. He is the author of more than twenty books, with over one million copies sold. |

| Bart Ehrman, in his New York Times bestseller, Misquoting Jesus, claims that the New Testament cannot wholly be trusted. Cutting and probing with the tools of text criticism, Ehrman suggests that many of its episodes are nothing but legend, fabricated by those who copied or collated its pages in the intervening centuries. The result is confusion and doubt. Can we truly trust what the New Testament says? Now, Wheaton College scholar Nicholas Perrin takes on Ehrman and others who claim that the text of the New Testament has been corrupted beyond recognition. Perrin, in an approachable, compelling style, gives us a layman's guide to textual criticism so that readers can understand the subtleties of Ehrman's critiques, and provides firm evidence to suggest that the New Testament can, indeed, be trusted. |

| We may think of the twenty-seven books of the New Testament as the only sacred writings of the early Christians, but this is not at all the case. This book offers an anthology of up-to-date and readable translations of many non-canonical writing from the first centuries after Christ--texts that have been for the most part lost or neglected for almost two millennia. Here is an array of remarkably varied writings from early Christian groups whose visions of Jesus differ dramatically from our contemporary understanding. Readers will find Gospels supposedly authored by the apostle Philip, James the brother of Jesus, Mary Magdalen, and others. There are Acts originally ascribed to John and to Theda, Paul's female companion; there are Epistles allegedly written by Paul to the Roman philosopher Seneca. And there is an apocalypse by Simon Peter that offers a guided tour of the afterlife, both the glorious ecstasies of the saints and the horrendous torments of the damned, and an Epistle by Titus, a companion of Paul, which argues page after page against sexual love, even within marriage, on the grounds that physical intimacy leads to damnation. In all, the anthology includes fifteen Gospels, five non-canonical Acts of the Apostles and Secret Books, and several Canon lists. Ehrman has included a general introduction plus brief introductions to each piece. |

| Throughout rock history, from “OK Computer” to “War” to “London Calling,” third albums have defined careers. With the bombastic, breathtaking CITIES, Anberlin’s cohesive and adventurous new album, the group puts itself in some esteemed company, with a modern classic that uplifts as much as it initiates thought and elicits emotion. The Winter Haven, Florida-reared quintet—who have toured with everyone from Fall Out Boy and My Chemical Romance to Yellowcard and Hawthorne Heights—doesn’t just build on the energy and determination of recent singles like “Paperthin Hymn,” “The Feelgood Drag,” and “A Day Late.” Instead, Anberlin expands its grasp of what a rock record can be with the Aaron Sprinkle-produced “Cities.” The Lost Songs tribute is a collection of rare and never-before-released material spanning the band’s entire career and offers, for the first time-ever, a collection of acoustic versions, cover tracks and songs that just didn’t fit on an album. This is a die-hard Anberlin must have. |
