How do we make godly decisions on issues that are not specifically addressed in the Bible? Questions about holidays, movies, entertainment, even the specifics of church life can often burden Christians because they seem to preclude clear, straightforward answers. And because these questions usually include elements of personal preference, believers can find themselves looking down on Christian brothers and sisters who hold different opinions. In this book, Cliff McManis helps us navigate these tough questions. Drawing from Romans 14, McManis provides us with the principles necessary to make decisions on the "gray areas" of life and maintain unity among our church family.

How can we reconcile the goodness and power of God with the existence of moral and natural evil? For centuries the problem of evil has posed a significant challenge to Christian apologists, and unbelievers often make the problem of evil one of the main reasons for why they reject the Christian faith. So how does the ordinary, everyday Christian approach this issue? Do we justify the existence of evil with rigorous logical and philosophical argument? Or does the Bible give us sufficient resources with which to solve the problem of evil? With sharp exegesis and a careful examination of several popular approaches to this issue, Dr. McManis takes us deep into Scripture where we find clear answers for why evil exists and what God has done to solve the problem of evil once and for all.

The Problem of Evil

Ever since the Church's inception 2000 years ago, Christians have wrestled with how to think about, relate to, and submit to the government. Answers to these important questions have ranged across a broad spectrum, with Christians often disagreeing with each other in significant ways. In this book, Cliff McManis looks to Scripture to help us think clearly about issues related to government, politics, and the Christian's involvement in both. By establishing his discussion first and foremost in the Bible, McManis provides common theological ground for all Christians to discuss and reflect upon these vital issues.

In June 2015 in case of Obergefell v. Hodges, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled in a 5-4 decision that marriage between same-sex couples is a right guaranteed by the Constitution. In this unprecedented legal decision, five Supreme Court justices effectively redefined the time-honored institution of marriage for all Americans. But how should the Church respond to this recent earth-shaking event? By placing this recent judicial ruling in its historical-political context and examining it light of Scripture, Dr. Cliff McManis helps Christians respond to their nation and their neighbor with Christlike conviction and compassion.

For years Christian apologetics has suffered from an identity problem. What constitutes the practice of apologetics? How should engage unbelieving arguments?

By rooting his discussion first and foremost in Scripture while examining the most popular apologetic approaches and arguments, Cliff McManis demonstrates that the practice of apologetics are not the prerogative of a few scholars, but the privilege of every Christian.

Education has become a controversial topic among Christian parents. What many of us don't know, however, is that it doesn't have to be. In this book, Cliff McManis draws from a careful study of Scripture and his experience as an educator, parent, and pastor to help Christian parents navigate this difficult yet highly important topic.
