Death To Deconstruction
$18.99
A straightforward, readable, and relatable look at issues that too often derail faith
Another Christian renounces the church and Christ. Former Christian music star turns her back on faith. I kissed Christianity goodbye. Headlines like these are becoming common. It seems like the most popular trend in faith circles lately is to deconstruct, then deconvert.
Joshua Porter knows that story from the inside out. He was raised in the tangles of American evangelical Christianity, and the church he knew was conservative, fundamentalist, and politicized. It feared culture, music, art, Dungeons & Dragons, Harry Potter, and anything else that was slightly suspect. This foundation of dread and fear was full of holes he nearly fell through . . . and out of faith altogether.
His story put him on the road to deconversion–but that isn’t where he ended up. Despite his years of being surrounded by disaffected former Christians and living large in the punk rock lifestyle, Porter now finds his faith closer to the historic Christian tradition than ever.
This book is more than Porter’s own story. It also invites those who may be in the deconstruction process themselves to consider the perspective of someone who was tempted to leave his faith–yet stayed. And it provides theological insight and pastoral support to those who worry that everyone is bailing out on the church.

Red Sea Rules
$10.99Just as Moses and the Israelites found themselves caught between “the devil and the deep Red Sea,” so are we sometimes overwhelmed by life’s problems. But God delivered the Israelites, and He will deliver us too. The Red Sea Rules reveals, even in the midst of seemingly impossible situations, God’s promise to make a way for us. His loving guidance will protect us through danger, illness, marital strife, financial problems–whatever challenges Satan places in our path. Using the Israelites’ story as an example, Robert Morgan offers ten sound strategies for moving from fear to faith. Among them:
Realize that God means for you to be where you are. Acknowledge your enemy, but keep your eyes on the Lord. Pray. Life is hard. It is certain that we will face difficulties, and that God will allow them, as He allowed the Israelites to become trapped between Pharaoh’s rushing armies and the uncrossable Red Sea. But just as certain is the fact that the same God who led us in will lead us out. As The Red Sea Rules makes clear, He is in control. Updated edition with new study questions accompanying each chapter.Add to cart1 in stock
