In vitro fertilization (IVF) is often hailed as a triumph of modern medicine, a compassionate solution for couples longing for a child. But beneath its promise lies a host of profound moral, theological, and ethical concerns that many Christians have never carefully considered. Misconceiving IVF: An Essential Guide to the Perils of In Vitro Fertilization is a compassionate yet uncompromising exploration of IVF through a distinctly biblical lens.

Corbin College, not quite upstate New York, winter 1959-1960: Ruben Blum, a Jewish historian—but not an historian of the Jews—is co-opted onto a hiring committee to review the application of an exiled Israeli scholar specializing in the Spanish Inquisition. When Benzion Netanyahu shows up for an interview, family unexpectedly in tow, Blum plays the reluctant host to guests who proceed to lay waste to his American complacencies.

The Folly and Vanity of Youth was inspired by a series of sermons preached by Benjamin Keach (1640-1704) on the parable of the laborers in the vineyard (Matthew 20: 1–16). Expanding upon Keach’s list of sins common to young people, Corey Johnson examines each one in detail, challenging the notion that young age absolves moral responsibility while consistently proclaiming Christ as the only hope for sinners. This book was written with the intention to help bring young people to maturity, encourage them to leave their childish ways.

The Black Baron is dead. The refugees have been settled. Columbia stands stronger than ever. So why does Caden Taylor feel like everything's about to fall apart? In the six months since the System transformed Earth, the fifteen-year-old sharpshooter has grown from awkward freshman to junior commander of one of the region's most capable adventuring teams. He's navigated politics, led combat operations, and somehow found time to fall for Emily Bridger—the girl who keeps calling him on his crap. But the world isn't done testing him.

Somewhere in the last nine months, Caden Taylor became the kind of person barons listen to when the room goes quiet. He's fifteen. He carries his dead father's rifle, leads fighters into places sane people avoid, and keeps getting dragged into rooms where the future of thousands turns on what gets said next. Now the Duchy of Dallas is swallowing territory one settlement at a time—sixty-five thousand people, an army, and a duke who wraps conquest in diplomacy and calls it peace. The factions on his eastern border have a quarter of that and can't agree on lunch.

The world didn't end. It just leveled up in this epic LitRPG adventure. Fourteen-year-old Caden Taylor was more worried about his grades than his stats. But that was before the universe hit the reset button. Now, the world he knew is gone, replaced by a new reality governed by a game-like System. With stats, skills, and quests, it's the ultimate Gamelit challenge where survival is the only goal. When the timer hits zero, the world he knew is deleted.

One of the greatest joys of my nearly five decades of pastoral ministry has been preaching through books of the Bible. In trying to teach others I have learned so much myself. That certainly was true in the preparation and delivery of sermons on the book of Ecclesiastes. God used that study to work in me a deepening, resilient joy that is unafraid to look at the sorrows and hardships of life east of Eden. Through this book I am delighted to share some of the abiding lessons from Ecclesiastes with you.

Does Romans 13 command Christians a near unqualified obedience toward the civil magistrate? Is there an appropriate occasion and even a duty to resist tyranny, even if the tyranny is not sinful, per se? The aim of this book is to shed light on the fact that Paul's appeal for submission to governmental authorities in Romans 13 is far narrower than it so often gets treated.
