We all know the story of how Eve was created from Adam's rib. But what if, perhaps, rib was a mistranslation and the body part she was really created from was Adam's penis bone? This would explain why human males don't have such a bone, unlike other male mammals. That's only one of many surprising and fun biblical twists readers will encounter in The Uncensored Bible. Here readers will learn that King David swore like a sailor, mandrakes were the biblical equivalent of Viagra(R), Cain was depressed, and Joseph's coat of many colors might have actually been a dress (which may explain why his brothers picked on him).Authors Kaltner, McKenzie, and Kilpatrick bring some of the most outrageous speculations about the scriptures to light--all based on legitimate scholarship--revealing a stranger, bawdier side of the Good Book. The Uncensored Bible is a shocking, hilarious, and thought-provoking collection of the most recent, compelling, and racy interpretations of the Bible from the newest voices of Bible scholarship.

This is the story of the most unlikely Olympic decathlete in history. Despite size and stature, Bryan Clay is the defending champion of the 2008 Olympic gold medal and winner of the 2004 Olympic silver medal in the decathlon. His journey is as inspiring as it is gritty, as troubled as it is triumphant. Far more than just a sports memoir, Redemption details the drudgery, devastation, and ultimate conversion that led Bryan to become a world champion. “[God] had a plan when I believed that dreams never came true because, in my life, they never did,” says Bryan. Through a remarkable series of events and devoted prayers of his mother, Bryan’s life was turned around into a victorious narrative of truly being redeemed.

A perfect blend of medical drama and spiritual insight, Gray Matter is a fascinating account of Dr. David Levy’s decision to begin asking his patients if he could pray for them before surgery. Some are thrilled. Some are skeptical. Some are hostile, and some are quite literally transformed by the request. Each chapter focuses on a specific case, opening with a detailed description of the patient’s diagnosis and the procedure that will need to be performed, followed by the prayer “request.” From there, readers get to look over Dr. Levy’s shoulder as he performs the operation, and then we wait―right alongside Dr. Levy, the patients, and their families―to see the final results. Dr. Levy’s musings on what successful and unsuccessful surgical results imply about God, faith, and the power of prayer are honest and insightful. As we watch him come to his ultimate conclusion that no matter what the results of the procedure are, “God is good,” we cannot help but be truly moved and inspired.

The Bible contains some 3000 promises of blessing. And according to the Apostle Paul they are all 'Yes, and Amen" for those in Christ Jesus. One of those promises is "the righteous shall prosper even during a time of famine". (Psalm 37.19) As Moses prayed, however, it's not enough that we merely know the promises of God- we must also know "the ways of God" in order to walk in the promises of God. Breakthrough in Times of Breakdown deals with understanding both the promises and the ways of God so that when crisis and breakdown comes our way we might experience the comfort, wisdom, and power of God in order to breakthrough into God's redemptive purposes. As Isaiah proclaimed "God desires to give us beauty for ashes". Charles Simpson stated regarding BiToB "Marc's thoughts on 'Vertical Thinking' and how our breakthrough release others are priceless and speak to where we need to go".
