The call to Christian discipleship is a call to adventure. Holy Habits explores the nature of that adventure through a rich mix of biblical material and inspiring stories. The nurturing role of the 10 holy habits of discipleship as seen in Acts 2 is then explored.

Is humility a Christlike attribute that should be pursued? And even if it should be, can genuine humility actually be attained? Often so practical in application that it is overlooked, the answer is found by studying the life and words of Christ (whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your slave). This little book is a loud call to all committed Christians to prove that meekness and lowliness of heart is the evidence by which those who follow the meek and lowly Lamb of God are to be known.

In this timely message, Matthew Robert Payne examines the words of Jesus to his disciples in Luke 9:23. “Then He said to them all, ‘If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.’” Each of these three key points stands as a section heading, and Matthew then expands upon each one with several subheadings.

The first and chief need of our Christian life is fellowship with God.

On the first day the world had ever known God had a busy week in front of Him... So begins Once Upon A World, a delightful collection of Bible stories for children. With stories selected from the Old and New Testaments, the fresh clear style of author Robert Duncan combines superbly with the wry and gentle humour of the late John Le Mesurier, one of Britain's most distinctive and loved voices best known for his portrayal of Sergeant Wilson in Dad's Army.

Looking in, many from the outside would have thought he had it all. However, inside, he felt the opposite. He felt frustrated, guilty, overwhelmed, and uneasy every day, and he needed change. With his decision to change, a powerful gift was given. That gift was a relationship that changed Richard's life forever.

As the cultural conversation around race, gender, and sexuality has evolved, straight white men are becoming increasingly aware of their privilege. But many may be left thinking, "OK, what am I supposed to do about it?" "We need a way forward beyond feelings of guilt, overwhelmingness, anger, and denial." Straight white male pastor Chris Furr offers a guide to deconstructing that privilege in Straight White Male. With an emphasis on confession and redemption, Furr invites other privileged men to reconsider the ways they live, work, believe, and interact with others.

I can’t give you every detail of my life with my family. The only thing I can try to do is convince one person out there that no matter what life throws at you and how discouraged you might get because of the hardships you have been tossed into, there is a higher being in the universe who created it and created you and me. He has a plan for each of us. It took me a while to figure that out and find my path.

There have been extensive debates about the gates of Hades, hell, or the grave. In what way does the Church conquer the gates? What are these keys Peter will be given? What does he unlock and lock with them? What does he bind and loose on Earth? There are a lot of issues here, and we'll be looking at these in this audiobook and answering what or who is the foundation of the Church that the Lord builds?

Drawing from years of experience as a priest and a teacher of philosophy, Fr. Younan presents the fallacies that often accompany thinking about a concept as difficult as God. With clarity and humor, he presents the "Five Ways" of Aquinas, discusses the big bang and evolution, the problem of evil, morality, and the complexities and abuses of religion. 

Christians are often thought of as defending only their own religious interests in the public square. They are viewed as worrying exclusively about the erosion of their freedom to assemble and to follow their convictions, while not seeming as concerned about publicly defending the rights of Muslims, Hindus, Jews, and atheists to do the same. Andrew T. Walker, an emerging Southern Baptist public theologian, argues for a robust Christian ethic of religious liberty that helps the church defend religious freedom for everyone in a pluralistic society.

He humbled himself to bear the name and show the meekness and die the death of the Lamb of God. And what is it we now need to do? How are we to be saved by this humility of Jesus? It is a solemn question, but thank God, the answer can be given. First, we must desire it above everything.

We are currently living in a world where spiritual darkness seems to be making a greater appearance. Many Bible commenters tell us that we are living in the final generation before Christ returns to collect his church. Hear what Matthew Robert Payne believes he has seen for the future of our world. Take a look at some of the events that he thinks will play out before Jesus Christ returns.

Imagine if you could hear God speak. Imagine if you could sit down and speak to God about a wide range of subjects that are helpful to the Christian faith and have him respond to you. Matthew Robert Payne did exactly that over the course of a month.

What if you could learn the name of your angel, receive a picture of your angel's likeness, and receive a five-minute message from your angel? Would that initial message stir your heart enough to start a dialogue with your angel? This unique Christian book that might be more at home in a New Age bookstore is A Message from My Angel: Book 1. If you are curious as to what an angel might say to you, this a great place to put your toes in the water.

The demands and routines of real life have a way of wiping out your plans, lowering your expectations, and separating you from your dreams. Prophet, Teacher, YouTuber, and the most friendly man you will ever meet, Matthew Robert Payne makes it his mission to help people expect greatness and pursue excellence in their Christian faith and lives.
