In a culture where we as Christians can no longer afford to remain silent, the No Place to Hide Workbook will encourage and equip you as you take a bold stand for faith in today's wayward world.

Each day you watch America turn further from Christian values and the core principles of liberty. It's frustrating to feel you can't assert biblical truth without facing condemnation, and fearful to witness outrage and victimhood replace respect and reason. Amidst this dissent, how can you not only stay rooted in your own faith, but continue publicly testifying for Jesus? In We Will Not Be Silenced, Dr. Erwin W. Lutzer prepares you to live out your convictions against a growing tide of hostility. Gain a better understanding of nonbelievers' legitimate hurts and concerns regarding issues like racism, sexism, and poverty-and identify the toxic responses secular culture disguises as solutions. In the process, you'll see how you can show compassion and gentleness to those outside of the faith without affirming their beliefs.

The Riveting Story of the Reformation and Its Significance TodayThe Reformation unfolded in the cathedrals and town squares of Europe--in Wittenberg, Worms, Rome, Geneva, and Zurich--and it is a stirring story of courage and cowardice, of betrayal and faith. The story begins with the Catholic Church and its desperate need for reform. The dramatic events that followed are traced from John Wycliffe in England, to the burning of John Hus at the stake in Prague, to the rampant sale of indulgences in the cities and towns of Germany, to Martin Luther nailing the Ninety-Five Theses to the door of the Castle Church in 1517, to John Calvin's reform of Geneva. Erwin Lutzer captures the people, places, and big ideas that fueled the Reformation and explains its lasting influence on the church and Western Civilization.

How do we live faithfully in a culture that perceives our light as darkness?Daniel faced this challenge just as we do. A captive in a pagan land, Daniel resolved to faithfully follow God while also serving in a nation that hated his God. Can we do the same? Like the Jews in Babylon, we must learn to engage our culture without being spiritually destroyed by it. In The Church in Babylon, Dr. Erwin Lutzer will encourage you to do just that, by answering the pressing questions of our day like: How do we love, lead, and serve with Christ's heart and mind in today's Babylon?What are the five false gospels in our churches and how do we stay true to our Christian witness? How do we respond to transgenderism and Muslim immigration with biblical truth and compassion?We are moral and spiritual exiles in a culture growing increasingly hostile toward Christianity. But God is faithful. Let us move forward in hope, remembering that it is in times of darkness that God's light shines most clearly.

The headlines only tell part of the story. In this revised and updated version of his bestselling book, Dr. Erwin Lutzer clearly and accurately depicts the truth about what is at stake in the same-sex marriage debate. Dr. Lutzer expertly answers the questions that so many individuals, parents, friends, and families are asking, like: How did we get to this point? Why is marriage, as God intended it, better--and healthier? How can I talk to my kids about this? How do I responsibly read, watch, and filter the news?Is there still hope?Let no one say that we have to choose between loving homosexuals and opposing same-sex marriage. Biblically, love is defined not as license to do whatever we want, but as leading people in the truth.

We must be concerned enough to speak out about any action, heterosexual or homosexual, that violates God's intended plan for marriage and the family.This simple, straightforward look at the issue of same-sex marriage will equip you to know what is really happening and, most importantly, why it matters for you.
