Beyond Her Yes
$16.99Much pro-life ministry is focused on encouraging women to say yes to life rather than terminate their pregnancies. But what happens after that decision has been made? Who will provide that mother, who likely considered abortion because she could not see how she could afford to have a child, with the long-term emotional support, education, and guidance that will help her out of poverty?
Economics and abortion are intrinsically linked, and if pro-life ministry is to make a real difference in the lives of women and families, it must expand its perspective beyond that initial yes in order to address the underlying problem of generational poverty. In Beyond Her Yes, cofounder of RENEW Life Center Marisol Maldonado Rodriguez helps you understand the full impact that poverty has on women making life decisions and then shows how a comprehensive approach to pro-life ministries can make a far greater impact.
Saving the lives of the not-yet-born is just the first step. Discover how you can be part of saving entire families from a life of hardship and hard choices.

Doing Faithjustice : An Introduction To Catholic Social Thought And Action
$37.95The author defines faithjustice as “a passionate virtue which disposes citizens to become involved in the greater and lesser societies around themselves in order to create communities where human dignity is protected and enhanced, the gifts of creation are shared for the common good, and the poor are treated with respect and a special love.” He says it is in the end “a habit of the believing heart.”
Against the backdrop of the author’s explicit experiences as a southerner, lawyer, priest, and Jesuit, this book expounds on the meaning of faithjustice, starting with the biblical grounding. It then traverses the full breadth of historical developments in the Catholic Christian community for more than 200 years and elucidates the meaning of faithjustice in our contemporary context. Underlining all this is the author’s conviction that only people who are living out faithjustice commitments can promote the truth about the necessity of solidarity and counter the pernicious mistrust that creates division in society.
This updated edition includes new materials on creation and the jubilee tradition and on the parables of Jesus; the writings of Popes Benedict XVI and Francis and other social teaching documents from the past twenty years; and updated economic, racial, and social data and analysis in light of the justice tradition.

Agents Of Grace
$18.99Political division. Racial tension. Vaccine wars. In Agents of Grace, award-winning writer, journalist, and podcast host Daniel Darling equips us to discern what’s worth fighting for, how to move beyond our profound disagreements, and how to live as agents of Jesus’s love.
When Daniel Darling was fired as spokesperson for the National Religious Broadcasters Association, it wasn’t his exit that made national news–it was the way he handled it. Daniel’s charitable response to those he had worked with was so radical that it made headlines. But why has kindness among Christians become so startling?
In Agents of Grace, Daniel explores practical ways we can follow the Bible’s command to “strive actively for peace” even in a painfully divided church, country, and world. On a very personal level, he helps us climb out of cynicism about how the people of God treat each other, especially when we are trying to heal from such pain in our own lives.
Beautifully written, Agents of Grace draws on modern-day examples and biblical truths to address:
*Divisions that keep us from obeying Jesus’s command to love one another
*Virtues that will lead us to a peace-filled life
*The theological differences that are worth fighting for, and those that are not
*How to avoid apathy and heal from past hurt, even amid hypocrisy and corruption
*The difference between forgiveness, reconciliation, and trustIn this hope-filled book, Daniel issues a clarion call to live as bridgebuilders in a divided country, healers in a hurting church, and countercultural Jesus-followers in a world that needs to know God’s love.

Is God Anti Gay
$9.99A sensitive exploration of the Bible’s teaching on sexuality.
Is it ok to be gay and Christian? Does the Bible really say that homosexuality is wrong? Is sexual orientation fundamental to identity?
Author and speaker Sam Allberry has expanded and restructured his best-selling book, which draws on his own experience as a believer who experiences same-sex attraction. As well as exploring Bible passages that talk directly about homosexuality, this new edition frames the whole discussion with Jesus’ general teaching on sex and marriage, as well as what Jesus teaches about finding ultimate satisfaction and happiness. It also challenges the current culture narrative, which inextricably ties sexuality to personal identity, and he shows that the gospel is good news for everyone, whatever their sexual orientation.
This sensitive exploration of the Bible’s teaching on sexuality has been written to help both Christians and non-Christians struggling with the Bible’s teaching on this issue, whether they experience same-sex attraction themselves or not.

Generacion Idiota – (Spanish)
$19.98Siguiendo con la idea general de su libro La batalla cultural, el afamado escritor, politologo, intelectual y conferencista Agustin Laje invita a la juventud a rebelarse contra el paradigma dominante, uniendose a la batalla cultural que las nuevas derechas estan dando en todo el mundo.
Los antiguos griegos llamaban “idiota” al hombre desconectado de su contexto, desconectado de los problemas de la ciudad, ignorante respecto de todo acontecer: idiota era el hombre ensimismado.
En nuestros dias hay una generacion idiota, manipulada por una cultura que, mientras masifica a los jovenes, los hace sentir originales; al mismo tiempo que los engaa de mil maneras, los hace creer empoderados; y a la vez que los sumerge en un hedonismo consumista en el que compran hasta su misma identidad, los hace creer revolucionarios.
La generacion idiota analiza:
*Como la juventud de hoy ha triunfado, y ha traspasado su forma al conjunto social
*Como recuperar el poder en la familia cuando los miembros mas jovenes de la familia quedan, en su educacion y socializacion, merced del Estado y los dispositivos culturales multimediaticos, que procuran reemplazar el rol del padre y de la madre.
*Como la politica se ha vuelto adolescente – No es ningun secreto, la politica ha bebido de la idiotez en una sociedad en la que un baile en TikTok del candidato hoy resulta mas llamativo que un programa de gobierno.
*El papel de la escuela, las universidades y el mundo digital – La subjetividad juvenil se constituye en torno a estos dispositivos e instituciones. Pero en ellos se juega la cultura en batallas culturales que hay que analizar y abordar.
Es hora de levantarse y romper el esquema de una sociedad dominada por los adolescentes y el uso deficiente de la voluntad y la razon. Es hora de unirse en la batalla cultural y deshacer las obras de la generacion idiota. Estas listo para unirte a la nueva derecha?
Idiot Generation
Continuing with the general idea of his book The Cultural Battle, the famed writer, political scientist, intellectual, and lecturer Agustin Laje invites the youth to rebel against the dominant paradigm, joining the cultural battle that the new right-wingers are waging all over the world.
In our days there is an idiot generation, manipulated by a culture that, while massifying young people, makes them feel original; at the same time that deceives them in a thousand ways, makes them believe they are empowered; and at the same time that immers

Counterpunch : An Unlikely Alliance Of Americans Fighting Back For Faith An
$19.99Is it possible for renewal to come through peace rather than power?
This book will illuminate how we can implement peaceful resistance against the immorality and policies of the Radical Left to bring a renewal of liberty, freedom, and biblically based principles back to America.
In his groundbreaking new book, Counterpunch, Floyd G. Brown issues both the battle cry and a strategic action plan for a populist movement in America that goes beyond any president or political party. Issue by issue, the Left chooses new markers in the sand and waits to see who will embrace their agenda. Those who don’t are canceled and silenced. This leads to alienation and the feeling that violence is the only option left. Brown wants readers to know there is another way, a civil disobedience of the state that allows us to be peaceful–and potentially more successful.
Counterpunch explains step-by-step how you can take part in a second American Revolution that will completely reorder the country under new governing principles. Touted as the Christian answer to Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals, Brown’s Counterpunch outlines a strategy for mobilizing a peaceful resistance that leads to collective action.
Utilizing an evergreen approach that isn’t focused on specific public policy issues, Floyd delivers a practical, biblically based plan for every American that will lead to the renewal of liberty.
