Get a sneak peek at some of the books we’re excited to share with you in 2021. We made note of who we think each book will be especially meaningful to, reasons we love each one, as well as some bonuses we’re thrilled to offer.

Being the Bad Guys

Topic: Author Stephen McAlpine offers an analysis of how our culture ended up seeing Christians as the bad guys and explains key points of tension between biblical Christianity and secular culture. He also offers strategies for coping in this world, with its opposing values, and for reaching out to others wisely with the truth.
