by Phil HotsenpillerThe world is not falling apart. It is falling into place. After reading this book, you will know how to place your trust in God to overcome your fears of what is going on in the world. You will no longer look to the future with fear, but with the promises that God has given you as His child. In Midnight in America, Phil Hotsenpiller fearlessly uncovers the alarming slumber within the church, drawing parallels to the biblical narrative of Samson. Just as Samson unknowingly lost his power, the American church finds itself in a similar state, unaware of its diminished influence and complacent in the face of critical challenges. Through this book, readers will be awakened to the urgent need for revival and transformation. With unwavering conviction, Midnight in America confronts the paralyzing spirit of fear that has infiltrated the church. Hotsenpiller sheds light on the detrimental effects of seeking acceptance from the world, which has inadvertently weakened the church's impact and compromised its mission. Midnight in America doesn't merely highlight the problems; it offers practical solutions. Hotsenpiller equips readers with the knowledge and wisdom needed to thrive in difficult times and embrace an unwavering hope that can withstand any adversity. Readers will discover the essence of courage and learn how to stand firm in the face of persecution, preparing them to face the challenges of the present and the future.

It's Not About the Money: Unlock Your Money Type to Achieve Spiritual and Financial Abundance
by Brent Kessel&“This magnificent book will show you how to align your financial decisions with your heart and soul.&” —Ken Blanchard, #1 New York Times–bestselling author What do the latest financial thinking and ancient spiritual teachings reveal to us about financial freedom? Top financial advisor Brent Kessel insists financial success and security is "not about the money." Rather, it's about what's inside us—first understanding your emotional relationship to money, and only then taking action. It's Not About the Money expertly and compassionately guides you along the path to financial security and true peace of mind. Kessel, founder of two top wealth-management firms, has the inside scoop on the higher wisdom of personal finances, and he wants to share it with you. Through extensive experience as a financial advisor and spiritual seeker, Kessel has discovered that people need to understand their core financial story in order to make meaningful changes. Some of us are savers or caretakers, says Kessel, while others are pleasure seekers and spend like Hollywood stars; some people are idealists who place greater value on creativity or compassion than on financial security; some of us innocently believe our finances will work out without effort; and others obsess about building empires with lasting value. It's Not About the Money will help you identify your money type, providing information and resources as well as exercises and meditations to inspire a fresh approach to your relationship with money that will change your life.&“This book is clear, kind, helpful, and empowering.&” —Vicki Robin, New York Times–bestselling coauthor of Your Money or Your Life

It's Not Like Being Black: How Sexual Activists Hijacked the Civil Rights Movement
by Voddie T. Baucham Jr.From the author of the national bestseller Fault Lines comes a book that tackles the next big threat to the church from the social justice movement. It comes in the form of sexual identity movements like feminism and LGBTQIA+. Many elements have already infiltrated the church and must be identified and opposed. This book will equip you to do that.Homosexual advocates first co-opted the civil rights movement to promote same-sex &“marriage.&” Now, with the nearly complete acceptance of Critical Social Justice, intersectionality, and myriad other streams of postmodern, neo-Marxist ideology, the transgender movement has taken the LGBTQIA+ agenda to new heights and threatens not only the family, but the church and the state as well. What&’s worse, many Evangelical leaders, eager to appease the culture, have gone along with this strategy. This book shows believers what is happening, exposes the goals and consequences of the LGBTQIA+ agenda, and explains how to engage this ideology both inside and outside the church.
