| : Is there an empty spot in your heart waiting to be filled by a child? Have you longed to cradle a baby in your arms - not just any baby but your baby? Be encouraged by LaMonda Hopman's journey through infertility to motherhood. Since Biblical times, couples have struggled with infertility. God promised Sarah a child but she did not believe Him, especially in her old age. God intended for Sarah to have a child born from her own womb in His timing and at her age. "Then the Lord took note of Sarah as He had said, and the Lord did for Sarah as He had promised. So Sarah conceived and bore a son to Abraham in his old age, at the appointed time of which God had spoken to him" (Genesis 21:1-2). LaMonda Hopman and her husband, Steven, know the anguish that Sarah and Abraham felt when their desire to have a child seemed forever unfulfilled. But God heard the cries of both of these couples as they poured out their love to Him. If you are dealing with infertility, lay your desires at His feet. He shares your pain and wants you, His child, to trust Him on this difficult personal journey. |

| Where does evil come from? If there is a sovereign creator God, as Christian faith holds, is this God ultimately responsible for evil? Does God's sovereignty mean that God causes each instance of sin and suffering? How do Satan, his demons and hell fit into God's providential oversight of all creation and history? How does God interact with human intention and action? If people act freely, does God know in particular every human decision before the choice is made? In this important book Gregory A. Boyd mounts a thorough response to these ages-old questions, which remain both crucial and contentious, both practical and complex.In this work Boyd defends his scripturally grounded trinitarian warfare theodicy (presented in God at War) with rigorous philosophical reflection and insights from human experience and scientific discovery. Critiquing the classical Calvinist solution to the problem of evil, he advocates an alternative understanding of the sovereignty of the trinitarian God and of the reality of Satan that sheds light on our fallen human condition. While all may not agree with Boyd's conclusions, Satan & the Problem of Evil promises to advance the church's discussion of these critical issues. |

| Belief in Satan worship is often viewed as an embarrassing throwback to the superstitions of another time. And "selling your soul to the Devil"? Nothing more than an overworked theme in literature and opera. To the contrary, Bob and Gretchen Passantino show how, in the midst of prevailing attitudes of skepticism and disbelief, Satanism has made unprecedented inroads into our society.Why this series?This is an age when countless groups and movements, old and new, mark the religious landscape in our culture, leaving many people confused or uncertain in their search for spiritual truth and meaning. Because few people have the time or opportunity to research these movements fully, these books provide essential information and insights for their spiritual journeys.Each book has five sections:*A concise introduction to the group*An overview of the group's theology-in its own words*Tips for witnessing effectively to members of the group*A bibliography with sources for further study*A comparison chart that shows the essential differences between biblical Christianity and the groupThe writers of these volumes are well qualified to present clear and reliable information and help us discern religious truth from falsehood. |
