As goes the man, so goes the family, the church, the nation. Every statistic, from porn to paternity to divorce to detention rates, shouts with astounding clarity: “Men are in trouble!” Men are struggling not to slip into superficial, self-indulgent secularism when so many on every side are running in that direction. The need is urgent and the time is now for real revival in the hearts of men. If you are seeking a path forward - an action to get some traction in a better direction - Act Like Men by James MacDonald is that path. Men want to be challenged and stretched, tested to their limits of who we are. That’s how God designed us. If you know you’re not the man God created you to be, if your relationship with God is far from transforming your life, if you don’t even have a clue what the next steps should look like - it’s time for you to take a step toward living out God’s calling.

Despite being cleared of wrongdoing by a grand jury, Tess is so hounded by the public that she takes a job in Oregon to escape the bad press.

Bible prophecy expert Mark Hitchcock is noticing a dangerous trend: the nation of Iran remains in the newspaper headlines for all the wrong reasons. In Showdown with Iran, he reveals why this rogue nation is so dangerous and how that connects to what the Bible says about what’s to come while encouraging readers to remain alert, aware, and hopeful as the end times near. He tackles questions such as: Does Iran still plan to wipe Israel off the map? What does this mean for the future of the Middle East? Where does Iran stand in Bible prophecy? What will be the role of the United States in Bible prophecy? The warning of what will happen is not new. In the book of Ezekiel, the Bible records a multitude of predictions about the region then known as Persia as well as about the nation of Israel. These ancient prophecies foretell an end time rise of Iran, as well as Turkey. But are the prophecies still unfulfilled today?
