Think of what revitalizing journalism would do for the cause of Christ in America! It is the most needed sort of pre-evangelism; it is training in Christian worldview; it is an aid to sanctification, and you need to teach people how to do it.
--J.I. Packer to Marvin Olasky

Telling the Truth is Dr. Olasky's valuable response to this charge from the noted theologian. In it he emphasizes both the philosophical and the practical: detailing the need for Christian journalists to have a well-developed worldview, and giving essential instruction to help them hone their writing, editing, and interviewing skills.

The shortcomings of modern journalism are many. Too often evangelical publications, instead of exhibiting the journalistic excitement of the hunt, are content printing public-relations releases and carrying on their business in a joyless manner. But it doesn't have to be this way.

Indeed, as Christians, it must not be this way! We are called to excellence; to do our work in such a way that it glorifies the Creator Himself. This incisive book not only urges journalists to grasp the significance of their purpose, but shows them how to more effectively accomplish it. As Olasky says, "If even fifty new, talented, biblically directed journalists were to emerge in America during the next few years, the revitalization of Christian journalism would be well under way."

Faith Under Fire

"Ever since Satan ambushed Adam and Eve, the fight between God and Satan has escalated into full-scale war. Armed with a deadly arsenal, the Devil is hell-bent on destroying the faith of believers everywhere."

Temptation is inevitable, but being defeated by it isn't. In fact, God has promised His children that in every temptation He will provide a way out. And He gives us all the spiritual weapons we need to mount a defense.

But do you know how to stand strong in the face of temptation? Do you know how to use the arsenal God has supplied?

You will once you've read this engaging, insightful book. It's a spiritual boot camp for believers--to train, equip, and prepare you for the deadliest war of all: the war for your soul. Using lively anecdotes and drawing from the lessons of Christ's temptation in the wilderness, Steven J. Lawson lays out the battle plan for Christians and offers instructions fro handling the weapons of spiritual warfare.

You'll find out the Enemy's tactics, discover what defeats Satan, and learn of the six occasions when you're most likely to be attacked. You'll be reminded of how strategic and important it is to study, master, and apply the Bible daily. And you will be encouraged to see throughout this book that the Enemy's power is never greater than God's.

In the lonely wilderness of our hearts, Satan seeks to lure and entice us into sin. In that wilderness is where our daily lives are lived. But as Jesus proved, and as Faith Under Fire shows, that is not only where the battle begins, but where victory can be most surely won.
