Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Body Piercing Saved My Life is the first in-depth journalistic investigation into a subculture so large that it's erroneous to even call it a subculture: Christian rock. Christian rock culture is booming, not only with bands but with extreme teen Bibles, skateboarding ministries, Christian tattoo parlors, paintball parks, coffeehouses, and nightclubs,encouraging kids to form their own communities apart from the mainstream. Profiling such successful Christian rock bands as P.O.D., Switchfoot, Creed, Evanescence, and Sixpence None the Richer, as well as the phenomenally successful Seattle Christian record label Tooth & Nail, enormous Christian rock festivals, and more, Spin journalist Andrew Beaujon lifts the veil on a thriving scene that operates beneath the secular world's radar. Revealing, sympathetic, and groundbreaking, Body Piercing Saved My Life (named for a popular Christian rock T-shirt depicting Christ's wounds) is a fascinating look into the hearts and minds of an enormous, and growing, youth culture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First Place 4 Health has helped tens of thousands of people lose weight and bring balance to the four core areas of their lives; physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. In this new title from Carole Lewis, First Place 4 Health's national director, readers are challenged to give God a year to change them from the inside out. Change will happen over the course of 12 months, but the right changes only happen when we set the right goals and take the right steps to achieve them. Written with Carole's signature warmth and humor, the book invites readers to dream big about the changes they long for in their lives and then offers practical, biblical, step-by-step guidance for how to see those dreams made into reality. In a culture of ''right now'' a year may seem like an eternity. A year in the hands of God, however, means change that will last eternally.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Book of Matthew cautions readers that "Ye cannot serve God and mammon." But for at least a century conservative American Protestants have been trying to prove that adage wrong. In The Blessings of Business, Darren E. Grem argues that while preachers, activists, and politicians have all helped spread the gospel, American evangelicalism owes its enduring strength in a large part to private enterprise. Grem argues for a new history of American evangelicalism, demonstrating how its adherents strategically used corporate America--its leaders, businesses, money, ideas, and values--to advance their religious, cultural, and political movement. Beginning before the First World War, conservative evangelicals were able to use businessmen and business methods to retain and expand their public influence in a secularizing, diversifying, and liberalizing age. In the process they became beholden to pro-business stances on matters of theology, race, gender, taxation, trade, and the state, transforming evangelicalism itself into as much of an economic movement as a religious one. The Blessings of Business tells the story of unlikely partnerships between well-known champions of the evangelical movement such as Billy Graham and largely forgotten businessmen like Herbert Taylor, J. Howard Pew, and R.G. LeTourneau. Grem also shows how evangelicals set up their own pro-business organizations and linked the quarterly and yearly growth of "Christian" businesses to their social, religious, and political aspirations. Fascinating and provocative, The Blessings of Business uncovers the strong ties that conservative Christians have forged between the Almighty and the almighty dollar.

Book excerpt: The cross is one of Christianity’s most distinctive symbols, increasingly cutting across Catholic/Protestant and other denominational divides. Although the US acknowledges no official religion, a variety of both Christian and non-Christian denominations have flourished. Crosses dot the landscape, sometimes towering over it and at other times simply marking a grave or the site of a traffic accident, or providing a place for contemplation. Courts continue to decide whether it is better to remove long-standing crosses on public property to protect the separation of church and state, or whether removing such symbols might be misinterpreted as expressing hostility towards religion. Whether marking identity, triumph, love, grief, or sacrifice, the cross remains important in American life and continues to be the subject of works of art, music, literature, and political, religious, and social rhetoric, all of which this volume addresses in an accessible A-to-Z format.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Powerful Story of Redemption Boys from Glasgow Don’t Cry is a challenging true story of struggle, survival, and victory. Caught in the grip of drug and alcohol addiction and homelessness, Peter had spiraled deeper and deeper into a desperate and dysfunctional life without limits or direction. After years of a hedonistic lifestyle—and on the run with another man’s wife—Peter had hit rock bottom when he was thrown a lifeline from an unexpected source. Without friends or options, he grabbed for the outstretched hand of Jesus and was knocked to the floor by the power of God. When he arose, Peter’s life had completely changed. But the real adventure was only about to begin. Honest, uplifting, challenging, and inspiring, Boys from Glasgow Don’t Cry is a real-life story of miraculous escapes and divine encounters. It is a story of hope in the face of impossible odds.
