Prepare Yourself to Engage Today's Secular Culture The Christian Combat Manual will help Christians respond positively to their faith and the criticism aimed at Christianity. The Christian worldwide dominated American culture until recent times. Christian principles and values directed governmental policies and set the standards for judicial, educational, ethical, and social behavior in this country. Not so today! People have become apathetic, even indifferent to immoral behavior that a few decades ago was universally recognized as evil and condemned. Vulgarity and violence flood our entertainment industry. Cheating is commonplace in college classrooms, as is corruption and greed in the workplace. The Christian Combat Manual is carefully constructed to help Christians engage culture by training them to confront and respond to major intellectual and cultural challenges they face today. One chapter encourages the use of the Socratic method-asking "counter-questions" that place the burden of proof on unbelievers, forcing them to defend their beliefs. The Christian Combat Manual is divided into five parts, as Part One defends the historically accurate accounts of divine revelation while Part Two tackles the raging controversy regarding the theory of evolution. Part Three demonstrates the existence of God, while Part Four centers on the person of Jesus Christ. Part Five focuses specifically on modern issues and secular postmodern doctrines.

There are lots of great devotional books and discipleship guides out there, but The Art of the Christian Ninja is different. The name ""The Art of The Christian Ninja"" was birthed from an encounter with God that spawned an unshakable thought: the critical importance of the secret side of the Christian faith. This book was written to inspire believers to build their relationship with God in ways that no one else sees. This is more than a simple Bible study or discipleship manual. It's a partnership between art and writing, black ink and white space, a tying together of teaching and questions, meditation and practice, humour and study. It's a journey, a meditation, a conversation, a long walk, and a training ground to help believers connect their faith and life and become the Christian Ninjas God wants to help them be. ""An interesting account of the old Ninja mythology and how it can be turned to the Christian's advantage. It should be a valuable source of spiritual help to readers who need and want to grow and become more effective."" --Charles Dondale, Retired Arachnologist ""This book really lends itself to building up Christians to defend themselves against the attack of the enemy. Learning to be stealthy and effective is especially relevant in our culture of intolerance towards Christians. I see this book as being complimentary to C.S. Lewis' The Screwtape Letters in which Lewis shows the inner workings of the enemy. Pastor Allan shows us tools to combat the enemy in practical, reflective and effective ways."" --Steve Bastian, Teacher ""A handy tool for developing Christians. The advice and teachings within are concise, yet informative, and each chapter is just the right length to be a daily lesson. You can then take what you have been taught and work with it throughout your day, returning to review the Ninja Meditations in the evening to see how you did. The process of changing your life into that of a Christian Ninja is here at your fingertips "" --Mary Ellen McLellan, Homemaker, Equine Specialist ""A 'How to Grow' manual for new believers and mature believers alike. Each chapter focuses on a discipline that needs to exist in each believer's life in order to have a strong walk with God. If you're looking to strengthen your relationship with your Lord but don't know where to start, this ninja training manual will set you on your way."" --Michael Kruszelnicki, Engineer, Youth Leader Allan Descheneau is a preacher, writer, podcaster, and pastor of Beckwith Baptist Church near Ottawa, Ontario. His passion is helping people find the tools and inspiration they need to pursue a deep, consistent, and meaningful relationship with God.

In unabashed celebration of Captain James T. Kirk’s singular fighting skills, Star Trek: Kirk Fu Manual is every Starfleet cadet's must-have training guide for surviving the final frontier. As captain of the legendary U.S.S. Enterprise, James T. Kirk engaged in his share of fisticuffs, besting opponents with a slick combination of moves and guile that remains unmatched. Is there anyone you’d rather have watching your back as you take on Klingons, alien gladiators, genetically engineered supermen, and even the occasional giant walking reptile? Kirk Fu is a series of unarmed combat techniques developed by one of Starfleet’s most celebrated starship captains over several years of encounters with alien species on any number of strange new worlds. A blend of various fighting styles, Kirk Fu incorporates elements of several Earth-based martial arts forms as well as cruder methods employed in bars and back alleys on planets throughout the galaxy. It is as unorthodox in practice as it is unbelievable to behold. Including excerpts from Kirk’s own notes and personal logs, the Star Trek: Kirk Fu Manual is the perfect training guide for surviving the depths of space. With proper training and practice, every Starfleet cadet can become one with Kirk Fu.

Did God instruct the human race to be His caretakers over nature? If so, is environmental exploitation disobedience to God? Is it true, as many critics claim, that Christianity is the root cause of today’s environmental problems--or are all religions and cultures responsible? How should the church respond? Should Christians Be Environmentalists? systematically tackles these tough questions and more by exploring what the Bible says about the environment and our stewardship of creation. Looking at three dimensions of environmentalism as a movement, a Bible-based theology of nature, and the role the church has in environmental ethics, Dan Story examines each through a theological, apologetic, and practical lens.

Demons--whether in embodied form or as inward temptation--make vivid appearances in early Christian monastic literature. In this finely written study of demonology and Christian spirituality in fourth- and fifth-century Egypt, David Brakke examines how the conception of the monk as a holy and virtuous being was shaped by the combative encounter with demons. Brakke studies the "making of the monk" from two perspectives. First, he describes the social and religious identities that monastic authors imagined for the demon-fighting monk: the new martyr who fights against the pagan gods, the gnostic who believes he knows both the tricks of the demons and the secrets of God, and the prophet who discerns the hidden presence of Satan even among good Christians. Then he employs recent theoretical ideas about gender and racial stereotyping to interpret accounts of demon encounters, especially those in which demons appear as the Other--as Ethiopians, as women, or as pagan gods. Drawing on biographies of exceptional monks, collections of monastic sayings and stories, letters from ascetic teachers to their disciples, sermons, and community rules, Brakke crafts a compelling picture of the embattled religious celibate. Demons and the Making of the Monk is an insightful and innovative exploration of the development of Christian monasticism.
