The economic and social instability of the past couple of years--not to mention the fear and confusion brought on by the global pandemic--have only added to the atmosphere of uncertainty and anxiety. But Jackson has an urgent message of hope to share in Big Trouble Ahead: God's kingdom is unshakeable. If we take hold of the fundamental truths of the gospel and decipher the gathering storm clouds through the lens of Scripture, the church will be empowered to prevail. In Big Trouble Ahead, Jackson gives you the tools you need to: Be encouraged that nothing can separate you from God's love and his involvement in this generation Learn how to view current events and today's biggest controversies through the lens of a biblical perspective Be reminded of God's abiding concern for your life Whatever trials or challenges life may bring, Big Trouble Ahead is sure to bring you reassurance and renewed courage, rooted firmly in God's presence, goodness, and his message of unchanging hope in the gospel. Praise for Big Trouble Ahead: "In a world that seems to have completely lost its mind, Pastor Allen Jackson points us back to the steadfast hope we have in Christ. Not in Congress. Not in cancel culture. Not in conflict or controversy. In Christ." --Dave Ramsey, bestselling author and radio host "Because Allen Jackson is one of the most insightful and dynamic pastors on the planet, when he speaks, I try to listen. True to his always Christ-centered message, Pastor Jackson reminds us that the 'big trouble ahead' should not rob believers of their hope and expectation." --Mike Huckabee, former governor of Arkansas, 2008 presidential candidate, New York Times bestselling author, and host of popular weekly talk show Huckabee "Pastor Allen Jackson is an uncompromising voice for truth in a generation where those in authority haven't 'played it straight.'

Lady Catherine, the Earl, and the Real Downton Abbey tells the story behind Highclere Castle, the setting for Julian Fellowes’s Emmy Award-winning PBS show Downton Abbey, and the life of one of its most famous inhabitants, Catherine Wendell. In this transporting companion piece to the New York Times bestseller Lady Almina and the Real Downton Abbey, Catherine, a beautiful and spirited American woman who married Lady Almina’s son, the man who would become the 6th Earl of Carnarvon, presides over the grand estate during a tumultuous time for the British aristocracy. Following the First World War, many of the great houses of England faded as their owners fortunes declined in the new political and social world of the 1920s and 1930s. As war loomed, Highclere’s survival as the family home of the Carnarvons was again in the balance—as was peace between the nations of Europe. Using copious materials—including diaries and scrapbooks—from the castle’s archives, the current Countess of Carnarvon brings alive a very modern story in a beautiful and fabled setting, paying particular attention to the staff who provide Highclere Castle with continuity between generations.
