The day Clare moved in to her new house, the cat flap swung open and a big, black and white cat came walking through. The cat looked at Clare, and Clare looked at the cat. The cat seemed rather surprised to see her. It stood with one front paw lifted, and its tail curled like a question mark. It had fluffy fur, a tail like a feather duster, and white whiskers. It was very large, and Clare thought it was the most beautiful cat she had ever seen. The amazing thing was, she had just prayed for a cat! But surely it must belong to someone else?"I absolutely love this book! I couldn't help but smile all the way through." - Briony

• Request forgiveness: “Can you find it in your heart to . . . ?”

Don’t let hurts linger or wounds fester. Start on the path to healing today and discover how meaningful apologies can make your friendships, family, and marriage stronger than ever before.

How Faith and Science Can Coexist to Glorify Our Creator

Questions surrounding the origins of the universe and the accuracy of biblical accounts place science at the forefront of discussions between atheists and Christians alike.

In this concise book, author Hans Madueme offers a biblically informed perspective on science, helping readers embrace both faith and science in a responsible and God-glorifying way. Does Science Make God Irrelevant? addresses misconceptions, explains how Christian assumptions make science possible, clarifies the tension between science and miracles, and illustrates ways faith and science can coexist as allies. In turn, readers will see how good science glorifies God and helps us praise our Creator.

A Concise Look at the Evidence for Christ’s Resurrection

The entire Christian faith depends on the belief that Jesus of Nazareth rose from the dead. If there was no empty tomb, Christians have an empty faith. But how can we be confident the resurrection really happened?

In this concise booklet, author Timothy Paul Jones addresses the doubts and questions that arise from Jesus’s resurrection as recorded in the New Testament. Jones argues this story is not a mere repetition of old pagan tales or a fabrication to fulfill Jewish expectations. Instead, it was a historical event, and that is supported by compelling evidence, including accounts of men and women who were willing to die for what they believed they had seen.

Skeptics are correct to assume that such claims should not be taken lightly. But what happens if Jesus really did rise from the dead? What would it mean for me and you?

• Written for Skeptics: A respectful appeal to those who doubt Jesus’s story that provides convincing evidence for his resurrection
• Short, Accessible Format: A concise exploration of the resurrection of Jesus and why it matters for believers today
• Part of the TGC Hard Questions Series: Equips readers with answers to difficult questions facing today’s church
