Soja liefert Eiweiß für die Massentierhaltung, steckt als Zutat in über 30.000 industriell erzeugten Lebensmitteln, dient im Ackerbau als Stickstoffdünger und ihr Öl gluckert in Autotanks. Vegetarier und Viehzüchter, Gesundheitsapostel und Unterernährungsbekämpfer vergöttern die kleinen braunen Schoten.

The Bible says the old life is gone and the new life has come (see 2 Cor. 5:17). But we still sin; still get angry, arrogant, and greedy. Sin destroys everything in its path, yet it’s also kind of fun and quite compelling. It often has us holding on to parts of the old life instead of embracing the new life we’ve been promised. Here, Pastor Bob Merritt exposes the inner battle we all fight with sin. He exposes the cycle of failure and loss and shows listeners that no matter how many setbacks they’ve experienced, there is a way to enjoy a new and better life in Christ.

What does it really mean to be a Christian?

Life begins to make sense. Their purpose becomes clear. Their mission through their local church is confirmed. Their hearts start longing to cooperate with God in the company of fellow believers.

Most people have asked, “Where is God when hard times hit?” Even great heroes of the Christian faith like Elijah, a prophet from the Old Testament. Elijah’s life was going great. He experienced spiritual victory after spiritual victory and had the favor of God on his life. And that’s when it happened! That’s when the bottom fell out of his life. In the midst of his pain, Elijah wondered where God was. And in the midst of his pain, God answered. Like Elijah, God has a word for you in the midst of your pain, suffering, and struggle. It’s a word that you can discover today!

Who is God? Why am I here? How should I live? These are a few of the crucial questions about life that must be answered. What’s exciting is that God has provided those answers in Scripture.

Immigrant. Dropout. Entrepreneur. Restauranter. Real estate developer. Movie producer. Philanthropist. These are only a few titles Izek Shomof, the so-called King of Spring Street, has carried throughout his fascinating life. Each of these monikers tells a part of Izek’s unbelievable tale, but the whole story has never been told—until now. Dreams Don’t Die is not your typical, run-of-the-mill immigrant story. It is the memoir of a man who had every opportunity to take unethical and often-illegal shortcuts but who instead chose the lesser-trod path of honesty and integrity.

During his 14-year imprisonment in Communist Romania, Richard Wurmbrand spent three years completely alone, with no human contact except for the guards who interrogated and tortured him. Though he had no Bible, pen or paper, Richard composed and memorized hundreds of sermons in rhyme to pass the lonely hours of solitude, clinging to Christ through nightly meditation on God's Word. With God in Solitary Confinement features a collection of these contemplations that he committed to memory.

"Will you pray for me?" is a question pastors hear every day. But when have you heard a pastor ask that question for themselves? Frankly, it's rare. That was the question Thom Rainer asked his congregation. The response was overwhelming. Within two days, more than one hundred people committed to praying for him, and the church was transformed over the next year. Thom cannot imagine what would have happened if he hadn't overcome his initial reluctance to be that vulnerable with his congregation.
