CONTENDERS : A CHURCH-WIDE STRATEGY TO UNMASK ABORTION, DEFEAT ITS ADVOCATES, EMPOWER CHRISTIANS, AND CHANGE THE WORLD
How did intentionally killing human beings in the womb become "health care"? When did sacrificing the innocent become the path to "freedom"? Planned Parenthood and their allies are normalizing abortion and selling a lie. In Contenders, Dr. Marc Newman shows you the spiritual underpinnings of the abortion industry and how its advocates "argue in retreat." With every shift in the conversation, you will learn how to winsomely respond to abortion-choice supporters and help them to see that their view of the unborn is not only scientifically insupportable, but morally disfiguring, placing all human beings at risk.

CROSS & SALVATION
With America's confidence in the Bible at an all-time low and the strength of her spiritual convictions waning, it is essential for Christians--especially Christian leaders--to be well-grounded in biblical theology. To have a clear and comprehensive understanding of the key doctrines of evangelicalism.
In response, professor and award-winning author Bruce Demarest has made plain God's glorious plan of salvation, his provision for the human dilemma through Christ's work on the cross, and the application of saving grace to unbelievers. Demarest's unique approach defines each topic, identifies its most pressing issues, examines the ways in which the doctrine has been understood historically, and interprets the Bible's revelation. The result is a clear and carefully constructed doctrinal statement that you can defend, live out, and communicate to others.
This singular, comprehensive treatment of one of Christianity's essential doctrines gives definitive, Bible-based answers about salvation and the cross--and about related theological issues such as grace and regeneration. It's perfect for clarifying your theology and gaining deep understanding of this foundational theme.
Part of the Foundations of Evangelical Theology series.

Filled with real-life illustrations and practical exercises, this guide offers the tools needed to reduce apprehension, communicate effectively, and establish genuine trust and acceptance.
