From the IX Bishop of the Diocese of New Hampshire in the Episcopal Church, the first openly gay person elected to the episcopate and the world’s leading religious spokesperson for gay rights and gay marriage—a groundbreaking book that persuasively makes the case for same-sex marriage using a commonsense, reasoned, religious argument. Robinson holds the religious text of the Bible to be holy and sacred and the ensuing two millennia of church history to be relevant to the discussion. He is equally familiar with the secular and political debate about gay marriage going on in America today, and is someone for whom same-sex marriage is a personal issue; Robinson was married to a woman for fourteen years and is a father of two children and has been married to a man for the last four years of a twenty-five-year relationship. Robinson has a knack for taking complex and controversial issues and addressing them in plain direct language, without using polemics or ideology, putting forth his argument for gay marriage, and bringing together sacred and secular points of view.

Representing a first in gay and Christian publishing, this provocative book presents a complete reversal of thought and action, contending that God loves homosexuals without attempting to refute scripture references. The study confronts its subject with a quirky sense of humor in the spirit of the “bedtime story,” providing a rare evangelical Christian volume addressed directly to the gay community. Unorthodox in its presentation, this guide speaks the language of those who may feel abandoned, condemned, and damned while avoiding reinterpretations of scriptural passages, making the gospel accessible to a younger, free-spirited generation. Spearheading a volatile topic with candor and grace, this consideration reframes the never-ending question, Is homosexuality a sin? and instead asks the gay community for a cease-fire—to forgive, love, and help put a stop to a cultural war being waged in the world.

Is this really God talking? Yes. God talks to us through the Bible. The author explores many beliefs of the Christian faith that most Christians have never clearly understood, with the proofs based solidly on scripture. The author explains how many false ideas and errors have weakened our faith. Are you immortal? Then why did God remove the Tree of Life from the Garden of Eden, if Adam and Eve were already immortal? And, why did Christ offer eternal life to everyone, if they already had it? Why did God assign Adam and Eve' sin to everyone? Why does God often create evil? Why do some lead happy, successful lives in affluent societies while others suffer all their lives in terribly poor and depraving conditions? The explanation of how the righteous dead are closer to Christ than are the righteous living is absolutely fascinating and comforting. Shown is a totally convincing proof as to why none of the dearly departed is now in Heaven or in Hell. The popular gospel message you hear today is off the mark. There is much more joy and comfort in the real message. Do you know the difference in the Kingdom of Heaven and the Kingdom of God? How well do you understand your faith in terms of your calling, atonement, faith, grace, eternal life, predestination, election, repentance, sanctification, reconciliation, being born again, redemption and regeneration? You may learn more about your faith from this book than from a lifetime of attending Sunday school.

An instant New York Times bestseller! Charlamagne Tha God—the self-proclaimed “Prince of Pissing People Off,” cohost of Power 105.1’s The Breakfast Club, and “the most important voice in hip-hop”—shares his eight principles for unlocking your God-given privilege. In Black Privilege, Charlamagne presents his often controversial and always brutally honest insights on how living an authentic life is the quickest path to success. This journey to truth begins in the small town of Moncks Corner, South Carolina, and leads to New York and headline-grabbing interviews and insights from celebrities like Kanye West, Kevin Hart, Malcolm Gladwell, Lena Dunham, Jay Z, and Hillary Clinton. Black Privilege lays out all the great wisdom Charlamagne’s been given from many mentors, and tells the uncensored story of how he turned around his troubled early life by owning his (many) mistakes and refusing to give up on his dreams, even after his controversial opinions got him fired from several on-air jobs. These life-learned principles include: -There are no losses in life, only lessons -Give people the credit they deserve for being stupid—starting with yourself -It’s not the size of the pond but the hustle in the fish -When you live your truth, no one can use it against you -We all have privilege, we just need to access it By combining his own story with bold advice and his signature commitment to honesty no matter the cost, Charlamagne hopes Black Privilege will empower you to live your own truth.

From her first breath of fresh air beyond the pit, it has never been enough for Beth Moore to be free. She is an author and Bible teacher who has opened the riches of Scripture to millions, has longed for you to be free as well--to know the Love and Presence that are better than life and the power of God's Word that defies all darkness. Beth's journey out of the pit has been heart-rending. But from this and the poetic expressions of Psalm 40 has come the reward: a new song for her soul, given by her Saviour and offered to you in Get Out of That Pit--friend to friend. This is Beth's most stirring message yet of the sheer hope, utter deliverance, and complete and glorious freedom of God. It is a story, a song--a salvation--that you can know too.

Straight Talk! Gods Undying Love for His Unique Women is written for mature women, young women and teenage girls. It is to help Christians to let go and let God, and to encourage non-Christians to accept Gods gift, Jesus Christ as their LORD and Savior. God put it in my heart to write this book years ago, however, I kept pushing it out of my mind and making excuses. Thank God for another opportunity and for impressing upon me the urgency to get it done. He has such a love and compassion for His women. His desire is to see His women free and holy, and walking in their anointing. This book expresses Gods heart, and my heartbeat and heartache for struggling women. This book is short, plain and easy reading; some topics may be controversial, but it is what the Word of God says. Topics on premarital sex and lust of the flesh often make some people uncomfortable, however, people are engaging in this sin every day. Women, it is time to come clean and be real. God is ready and waiting with open arms to receive His unique woman.
