Alan Chambers. God’s Grace and the Homosexual Next Door: Reaching the Heart of the Gay Men and Women in Your World. Harvest House, 2006. 288 pp.
Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
—1 Corinthians 6:9-11

Ben Young. Why Mike’s Not a Christian: Honest Questions About Evolution, Relativism, Hypocrisy, and More. Harvest House, 2006. 144 pp.
A while ago I was flying from Pensacola, Florida, back to Houston. I was sitting next to a businessman from Connecticut, and we got into a conversation about what we did for a living. I was just returning from one of our youth retreats, where I’d been talking on the subject “Who Am I?” So we got into a little discussion about philosophy, and it kind of meandered into theology. And as my fate would have it, during the course of conversation he found out I was a minister.

H. Dale Burke. How To Lead and Still Have a Life: The 8 Principles of Less Is More Leadership. Harvest House, 2006. 240 pp.
Leaders everywhere—in corporations and churches of all sizes—are feeling the rush. When I ask them to describe their life, they tend to use three words: “I am busy, buried, and behind.” I’ve heard this so much that I now call this sense of being overloaded “the B-Zone.” Not only do we say, “I am busy,” or “I am buried,” but also . . . .
