Religious affiliation, service attendance, and belief in God have declined. More and more people claim to be "spiritual but not religious."

Crucially, these religious losses are concentrated among younger generations.

Those who are a part of this institution unquestionably believe in a god that directs their activities and they look to this deity with the ultimate hope of gaining his favor.

The riches and power gained through their piety actively demonstrates the reality of their god's existence.

This book is written in two parts. Part one follows a personal journey into understanding God's desire for His church to become one, for the sake of their city, to the glory of God.

It invites the reader to personally seek God's direction and then invites them to pay the price of engagement. Part two looks at the elephant in the room - a practical theology of unity.

Religion as a Survival Mechanism. What if faith wasn’t just a mystery—but an evolutionary advantage? Why do humans believe?

This key introduction to the doctrines of Christian faith is based on C.H. Spurgeon's Puritan Catechism. Spurgeon sought to conform the Baptist Catechism to the classic Westminster Shorter Catechism.

Shoshana Institute's Catechism adds back the section on Prayer which Spurgeon had removed. The questions on prayer are from the Baptist Catechism.

Each chapter unpacks a particular name for the Holy Spirit and examines its significance, using examples from a variety of artistic mediums—music, poetry, visual art, film, and even landscape architecture.
