The thrilling follow-up to Rosenberg’s groundbreaking debut, The Last Jihad. Osama bin Laden is dead. Saddam’s regime is buried. Baghdad lies in ruins. Now the eyes of the world are on Jon Bennett and Erin McCoy, two senior White House advisors, as they arrive in the Middle East to offer a historic Arab-Israeli peace plan and the American president’s new vision of freedom and democracy.

Today, Christians (and those considering the Christian faith) increasingly doubt the Bible's reliability. Why? What changed? Revised & Expanded for this special 25th-anniversary edition, Ken Ham points out the looming precipice too many church leaders are rushing towards a denial of the full authority and accuracy of the Bible from its very first verse. In addition, Ken powerfully shows how the unproven, unscientific philosophy of evolution is driving young people away from the Christian faith and provides solid, biblical solutions to turn things around. The Lie uncovers: *Why Genesis remains critically important in presenting the Gospel *This slippery slope of reinterpreting Scripture and redefining biblical doctrine *How the handling of the biblical account of creation impacts your understanding of all of *Scripture and your worldview *The collapsing structure of Christianity as Genesis is questioned, compromised, and dismissed *The religion of evolution *The authority of God's Word versus man's fallible word *Genesis as the foundation for all biblical doctrine *Evolutionary ideas are actually destructive to the foundational message of the Cross of Jesus Christ *Evolution is used to justify social issues such as abortion, communism, drug abuse, homosexual practices and worse *The successful use of creation evangelism to present the whole gospel message These issues are of critical importance when you realize that today we have Christians questioning Genesis, the age of the earth, the reality of Hell, Adam as a real person, and Christ's own words about creation, marriage and more. One compromise just leads to another and it has to end if we want to leave a legacy of faith to future generations. Churches, individuals, and Bible colleges are using this Christian apologetic resource to strengthen their faith, families, and sharing of the whole gospel of Jesus Christ.

It is absolutely essential that a church perceive itself as an institution for the glory of God, and to do that—claims John MacArthur—the local church must adhere unfalteringly to biblical leadership principles. Christ never intended church leadership to be earned by seniority, purchased with money, or inherited through family ties. He never compared church leaders to governing monarchs, but rather to humble shepherds; not to slick celebrities, but to laboring servants. Drawing from some of the best-received material on church leadership, this updated edition guides the church with crucial, effective lessons in leadership. This book is valuable not only for pastors and elders, but for anyone else who wants the church to be what God intended it to be.
