Would seeing a miracle really convert an atheist? Even Richard Dawkins wasn't sure. In this excerpt from Why Christianity Makes Sense, @gavinortlund explores why God doesn't just show up with undeniable proof—using Kierkegaard's parable of a king who trades his crown for rags just to win a peasant girl's heart honestly. Sometimes what looks like hiddenness is actually patience. Read the full excerpt on Christianity Today: bit.ly/4hkGaxr

What does it actually mean to be "Christlike"? Not nicer. Not vaguer. Not softer around the edges. In Reflecting the Son, @ThaddeusWill makes the case that real Christlikeness is bigger and more demanding than the watered-down version we've settled for—and he walks through seven dimensions of what it looks like to actually mirror Jesus, drawing on Scripture, philosophy, art, and psychology along the way. 🎥 Watch the trailer now: youtube.com/watch?v=Kk_-w7jG… #ReflectingTheSon #ThaddeusWilliams #ChristianBooks #Christlikeness #FaithAndCulture #ChristianNonfiction #NewBookRelease

What does it actually mean to carry the heart of God into the world? On the latest episode of Art of Holiness, host @CarolynCMoore sits down with Jon Thompson—pastor and author of Presence—for a hopeful, theological, and deeply practical conversation about evangelism built on radical hospitality. Not the kind you're picturing. The kind that meets a global, repaganized, pluralistic world with the presence of Jesus rather than a formula. The conversation closes right where Art of Holiness's fall series begins: learning to stretch our prayer lives wide enough to hold the whole world in our hearts. 🎧 New episode is live now! artofholiness.com/jon-thomps…

Ancient Christians had a rich vocabulary for the habits that shape who we become. Author @Grace Grace Hamman believes that wisdom still has something to teach us today. Pride and humility. Envy and love. Wrath and patience. Avarice and mercy. Sloth and fortitude. Gluttony and abstinence. Lust and chastity. In Hamman's book Ask of Old Paths, these ancient vices and virtues become a guide for examining our own habits, desires, and loves. Drawing on the wisdom of medieval Christianity, Hamman shows us a vision of virtue that isn’t about following rules or achieving perfection, but about growing into greater wholeness and becoming more fully who God created us to be. Rediscover the wisdom of the old paths with Ask of Old Paths, out now. Bonus: its 45% off on ChurchSource.com right now!

What does it actually mean to be Protestant, and why does it still matter today? In his award-winning book What It Means to Be Protestant, author and theologian @gavinortlund clears up common misunderstandings about Protestant Christianity and shows why its beliefs are still worth holding onto.

Whether you’re Protestant, exploring different Christian traditions, or simply asking questions about your faith, this book is a great place to start.

For the Love of Women isn't a book you read once and then leave to collect dust on the shelf.

This is a book you read again and again as our news cycles shift and progress sometimes feels like one step forward, two steps back. If you've been meaning to read it, For the Love of Women is deeply discounted for the rest of this week only.

What happens when the message of Jesus meets the messy realities of modern politics and culture? In God in Public: How the Bible Speaks Truth to Power Today, world-renowned New Testament scholar N. T. Wright tackles one of the most pressing questions for believers today: What does faithful Christian witness look like in the public square? Wright challenges the idea that faith should remain strictly private or reduced to personal spirituality.
