While many of us struggle to understand it, the Trinity is one of the most important teachings of the Christian faith. It defines God's very essence and describes how he relates to us. And while it can be a difficult concept to get our heads around, it is crucial for believers to understand how God explains his triune nature in his word. In this book, James R. White offers a concise, understandable explanation of what the Trinity is and why it matters.

Life is never peaceful in Chris Erskine's house, what with the four kids, 300-pound beagle, chronically leaky roof, and long-suffering wife, Posh. And that's exactly the way he likes it, except when he doesn't. Every week in the Los Angeles Times and Chicago Tribune (and now and then in many other papers), Erskine distills, mocks, and makes us laugh at the absurdities of suburban fatherhood. And now, he's gathered the very best of these witty and wise essays - and invited his kids (and maybe even Posh) to annotate them with updated commentary.

The author relives his experiences in California as the son of a con man. Ranging from the humorous to the serious, we go from Midnight the nanny goat babysitter to nearly driving the pickup off a cliff and getting the truck off the train tracks seconds before a freight train roars by to a most unusual birthday present. The Peach Tree Limb is a triumphant story of how one boy held everything together through faith and the solid anchor provided by his grandparents, who lived on a truck farm/chicken ranch across the street from where Disneyland was later built.

Anyone who teaches others, including parents, can benefit from this book. Teachers play a pivotal role in the education of children and adults. There are basic principles of living that could be taught in the classroom that would not take much time from teachers; in fact, I expect that because these concepts will reduce conflict, doing so may well give teachers more time to teach. This book is not about what teachers should teach but about how the way they teach can make major differences in their students' lives.

In Dr. Larry Waldman's fifth book, he tells step-by-step how to achieve life goals by using accepted tenets of the four schools of psychology: Biological, Behavioral, Cognitive, and Analytic.

Like that book, in this one he gives many anecdotes from actual case histories to illustrate his points.

This easy-to-understand book describes what happened to planet Earth during and after the 371 days that Noah and seven others remained secure inside the ark.

There is a war raging across America. The country's heritage is already a victim. They want to destroy all evidence that predominantly Christian men founded the United States on predominantly Christian principles. Now they're out to destroy the foundations that traditional United States freedoms are based upon. Is it too late to stem the tide?

There is a movement that is misleading hundreds of millions of Christians and seekers. Today's Church is being sapped of its influence, vitality, and sustainability. It is sinking, submerging like a leaky boat taking on water. This report reveals that to destroy true Christian faith, one must simply compromise or ignore the first few chapters about creation in Genesis. Here we expose the depth to which compromises with secular opinions have embedded themselves into the submerging Church.

Philosopher Malcolm Muggeridge stated in the Pascal Lectures, University of Waterloo, that "The theory of evolution...will be one of the great jokes in the history books of the future. Posterity will marvel that so very flimsy and dubious an hypothesis could be accepted." This report exposes the lies of Darwinism. The authors make a case strictly on how Darwinism stands up under the microscope of real science.

By the time children reach adolescence, it's usually too late to change their behavior. That behavior may or may not be out of control, but it is usually such that a parent's most common question is: What can I do? The good news is that they can learn to cope. The purpose of this book is to help parents cope and guide their children, not necessarily change them. This extraordinary book is not just for parents of children who are out of control. It will also help normal families function more smoothly.

Over 24,000 families have been helped by this book. It is the next best thing to having eight one-on-one counseling sessions with Dr. Waldman.

Just as the Hebrews were slaves in Egypt, we have become slaves to technology. Our technological tools allow 24-hour productivity and connectivity, give us more control, and subtly enslave us to busyness itself. The Sabbath is about restraint, about intentionally not doing everything all the time just because we can. Setting aside a day of rest helps us reconnect with our Creator and find the peace of God that passes all understanding.

Christianity is a surprising religion. It has changed the world in remarkable ways throughout history simply through Christians living out their faith. More recently, we've become afraid of a habituated Christianity, thinking that routines will rob our faith of its vitality. The net effect is that we've replaced the habits that surprise the world with habits that mimic the world―and both we and the world suffer for it.
