Thousands of others perished in the same way, and many people before and since have also suffered gruesome torments. Why then is Jesus uniquely and universally remembered for his suffering death?

| It's Sunday morning. Where are all the men? Golfing? Playing softball? Watching the tube? Mowing the lawn? Sleeping? One place you won't find them is in church. Less than 40 percent of adults in most churches are men, and 20 to 25 percent of married churchgoing women attend without their husbands. And why are the men who do go to church so bored? Why won't they let God change their hearts? David Murrow's groundbreaking new book reveals why men are the world's largest unreached people group. With eye-opening research and a persuasive grasp on the facts, Murrow explains the problem and offers hope and encouragement to women, pastors, and men. Why Men Hate Going to Church does not call men back to the church-it calls the church back to men. |

| Leonard Ravenhill's call to revival is as timely now as it was when first published over forty years ago. The message is fearless and often radical as he expounds on the disparity between the New Testament church and the church today. This book contains the heart of his message, A.W. Tozer called Ravenhill "a man sent from God" who "appeared at (a) critical moment in history," just as the Old Testament prophets did. Included are questions for group and individual study. |

| Part C. S. Lewis, part John Stott, Simon Austen in this work both invites conversation with unbelievers and offers an eminently accessible theology course for mature believers and new Christians. Wherever the reader is on the spectrum, this book will reinvigorate as it informs, delights as it challenges, and fill both heart and mind with wonder that God has in fact bothered with us more that we know. |
