From Atheism to Christianity: The Story of C. S. Lewis is the spiritual homecoming story of Clive Staples Lewis, a careful and thoughtful scholar who spent fifteen years journeying the long road from atheism to theism and, eventually, to Christianity. Drawing from Lewis's own writings, as well as those he sought out during his quest for spiritual understanding, From Atheism to Christianity highlights the longing, reluctance, searching, and surrender that defined these years of Lewis's life and provides answers to the questions that surround this profound character:

• What attracted Lewis to atheism and eventually Christianity?
• How did he leave atheism behind?
• Why did his journey take fifteen years?
• Who influenced his thought during those years?
• What authors did he read, and whom did he interact with and confide in?

Explore the most tumultuous and defining years of C. S. Lewis's life, gathering clues that reveal the meaning of life for contemporary atheists and theists—all from the perspective of one who knew both atheism and Christianity from the inside.

"Remember, I had always wanted, above all things, not to be 'interfered with.' I had wanted (mad wish) 'to call my soul my own.'" —C. S. Lewis

Join Tom Wright on a journey with the Apostles, exploring the New Testament themes of thankfulness, patience, humility and joy.

Within each of these themes, Wright offers a week of daily readings and meditations, beginning with the Sunday reading in the Revised Common Lectionary and ending with stimulating questions for personal reflection or group discussion.

Drawing on key passages in his popular For Everyone series of commentaries, these sparkling reflections take you on a journey of spiritual enlightenment, guiding you towards the wonder and joy of Christmas.

 

Jonah is famous for being a reluctant evangelist. But God had other plans!

If we're honest, we are also often very reluctant when it comes to telling others about Jesus. We can learn from God's dealings with Jonah about how to be effective for the Lord, whom we love and want to serve. We can move from can't and don't to can and do.

Like Jonah we need learn to trust his awesome power (chapter 1), experience his sovereign grace (chapter 2), fear his coming judgment (chapter 3) and share his gut-wrenching compassion (chapter 4). All this is perfectly revealed in Jesus, the divine Evangelist, and as we look to him and as the Holy Spirit fills our hearts with his evangelistic compassion, our hearts will sing with the melodic line of Jonah, “Salvation comes from the LORD” (Jonah 2:11) and our lives will erupt with the evangelistic enterprise that our cities so desperately need.

Teens hear a lot of conflicting viewpoints about sex.

The world tells them to follow their heart and do what feels right—that sex isn't a big deal, that pornography isn't harmful, that modesty is old-fashioned.

But that's not how God designed sex. Sex is a precious and sacred gift to be enjoyed in the right context, according to God's design.

Sexuality Mentality encourages parents, pastors, teachers, and youth workers to have honest conversations with teens about pornography, self-pleasure, homosexuality, modesty, the value of human life, and, yes, sex.

God gives you grace upon grace to teach your children about purity according to His Word. He equips you to connect to the deeper wisdom the Bible provides and begin the conversation about sexual integrity.

Short and engaging little books that offer real spiritual meat, but are accessibly written for the modern reader.

Featuring a new series on the Christian Faith by Banner of Truth Trust: Banner Mini-Guides.

The series is divided into five sections:

• Key Truths
• Christian History
• Christian Living
• Christian Mind
• Christian Mission

Each title will provide an outline of the subject in simple, easy to understand, terms. Enough information is provided to enlarge your understanding of the theme, but with the goal of whetting your appetite and encouraging you to explore the subject in more detail. Suggestions for further reading are included in each book.

The hope is that new believers will be helped by these simple introductions to different aspects of the Christian faith, while more mature believers will find them helpful reminders and summaries of the important truths which guide their Christian lives.

Each book is deliberately kept around 100 pages long, great accessibility for those who are not regular readers. They are also very affordable and could be used as gifts to encourage people to read. Recommended for group studies, or as the basis for Sunday school or Bible class lessons, as each book is divided into 13 chapters to fit with teaching quarters.
