The importance of the spoken and written word in Christian culture cannot be overestimated. In this English grammar guide, Nancy Wilson surveys the major concepts in English grammar for beginners at the late elementary and junior high level (even adults seeking a brush-up). Wilson avoids common, contrived sentences that serve merely to illustrate her point; instead, she uses many selections from Scripture and from great English writers which help to instruct the student through their content, style, and structure. In addition to a helpful format that highlights key definitions, punctuation issues, and important concepts, short historical sidebars tell the facinating story of the development of English. She continues the traditional and challenging exercise of sentence diagramming, which trains students to quickly ananlyze the structure of any given sentence. The grammatical explanations, the logic of diagrams, and the rhetoric of her examples blend with complementary emphases to create a helpful classical and Christian text.

In this book Ralph Smith delves deeper into the discussion at the intersection of covenant and trinitarian theology that he began with Paradox and Truth. Though many Reformed theologians have recognized an agreement between the Father and the Son for the salvation of the human race, few have explored the vast theological possibilities of an eternal covenant that involves all three persons of the Trinity. Instead, covenantal soteriology has focused on the so-called covenant of works between God and Adam, which turns out to be problematic both biblically and theologically. Smith places the eternal covenant in the position it deserves—the keystone of biblical and systematic theology—with profound consequences for the Christian worldview.

Darkness fell swiftly on Tetra. It wasn't anything special. It was just night. But it was dark. Stars were sneaking in and out of a couple desert clouds. The bullhorn slept, and s'moring had begun around a few thousand campfires. But there was one tent, the tent where the leaders met, that had no campfire in front of it. Nor was anyone inside it. At least not anyone other than Randy Jarvis, the Antichrist. He had been laid on the table in the middle of the tent for examination by the leaders. When they had all been convinced that he was actully the Antichrist, and Buford had been reprimanded for makng him slip at the pool, the Antichrist had been shoved into a large plastic bag and left on the table. 
That plastic bag, full of evil, on the table, in the middle of the tent, now stirred. Was it a breeze? Was it some evil thing come with the darkness? Something was afoot. The bag now did more that stir. It jerked and lurched, it quaked and snapped, but there was no wind in the tent. Then the bag fell off the table on to the fake sheep skin rug and stopped. But not for long. It wasn't jerking now, it was expanding, stretching, growing thinner. A tear opened at the top and out came four fingers, followed by a hand. Then another hand. Both were followed by arms. A head emerged, slowly and painfully, wrapped in cloth. Before long the entire body crawled its way out, a body wearing nothing but its own flesh and a red Speedo. 
"Mother?" it said. "Mother, are you there?" And then, exhaused, it collapsed into a deep sleep.

Logic is the art of reasoning well - of learning to think God's thoughts after Him. In this book, directed toward junior-high students, Douglas Wilson and James Nance lay the proper foundation of reasoning in the truth of God, and go on to train students in the crucial skills of defining terms, recognizing basic types of statements, arguing with syllogisms, arguing in ordinary language, and identifying informal fallacies. 
This text, together with Intermediate Logic by James Nance, provides students with a rigorous course in logic that will help them excel in every other subject they will study, from math and science to rhetoric and the humanities. Extensively revised and updated, with additional review questions and exercises for each unit, this book is an essential part of every Christian school or home school curriculum.

Beyond Promises takes a balanced look at the Promise Keepers movement, applauding what it has done well and pointing out where, in the movement's own language, it needs to "raise the standard" in the days to come. The book is divided into four parts. Part One ("At Its Best") commends the movement for what it has done well and responds to unfounded criticisms of the movement. Part Two ("Some Causes for Concern") raises several general concerns with the movement. Part Three ("Promises, Promises") examines the now-famous seven promises. And Part Four ("Beyond Promises") challenges the movement and its followers, to move beyond human promises to the only Promise Keeper there ever was-our Lord Jesus Christ.

"The Bible begins in a garden and ends in a city." The prevailing "culture war" view is too ingrown. It holds that culture is primarily an ideological/religious struggle between good and evil, godly and rebellious art, literature, politics, philosophy, etc. But at its foundation, culture is about building, not about conflict. Doing culture from a positive, earth-transformational perspective will help us build a more comprehensive, radical, holistic culture in line with the principles of Scripture, with less opportunity for compromise with unbelieving cultures we might encounter. 
 This book aims to start us down the path toward a biblical theology of culture by providing a positive, clear, and colorful introduction to the topic. Hegeman shows that culture has a particular God-ordained end in view: the development of the earth into a global network of gardens and cities in harmony with nature-a glorious garden-city.

Addressed to men, Fidelity hits hard, offering pointed help to Christian males everywhere. Spiritual leaders are tempted to gloss over sexual issues, but Wilson uses clear language to confront specific sins with specific solutions. He shows how effeminate slackness leads to pornography, how being seduced is a failure to lead, why masturbation is lousy theology, and much more. Grace-centered masculinity should be self-disciplined and strong, not compromising and hypocritical.
