The church has become consumed by politics--political priorities and allegiances. When Politics Becomes Heresy is Tim Perry's loving rebuke and call to repentance.

Former naval officer Chase Christian comes to Louisiana in the aftermath of a failed marriage and turbulent Wall Street career. There he finds work with Jonas and Jen Makobia, a brother-and-sister team who operate one of Louisiana's many shrimp boats. If Chase was hoping for a quiet life, he doesn't find it. Instead, he's drawn into the Makobias' often troubled world. Corruption in the shrimp business has led to a price on Jonas's head-a bounty that hired killer Katie Tea is determined to claim. As for Jen, the short firebrand has her sights set on Chase...when she's not obsessively searching for the location of Louisiana pirate Jean Lafitte's treasure in the surrounding bayous. To protect Jonas, Chase contacts an old associate from his naval days and starts considering who hired Tea. He soon discovers the existence of a second killer, a man with links to a hidden part of Chase's own past. More than Jonas's life hinges on Chase's actions now. Chase's life is also on the line, as is a secret that goes all the way to the commander in chief of the US military.

Death will strike your congregation. Are you ready? Are they?Death has become a four-letter word. Whereas in previous generations, the practice of memento mori ("remember death") was embedded in family life, people today have found ways to distance themselves from death. As Western culture becomes increasingly more secular, the Christian understanding of death and the funeral appear more and more strange.Fear of death affects us all, and so pastors have significant hurdles to overcome. What Christians need today is a renewed vision of the traditional Christian funeral liturgy. In Funerals, Tim Perry recovers the rich theology inherent to the Christian funeral: communion with the saints in death, peace in forgiveness, hope in the resurrection, and joy in life eternal. Perry guides pastors through the practice of funerals, from planning the service to preaching the eulogy, and offers wisdom for the hard cases.Perry's Funerals will help pastors disciple their people to see through the valley of the shadow of death and into the hope beyond.

The papacy of John Paul II was phenomenal, and not least for the fact that many evangelicals came to honor and respect him. Tim Perry calls on some of the best evangelical minds to offer their assessments of the thought of John Paul II as expressed in his major encyclicals.

Using Luke's Gospel, this devotional book sketches a Mary who teaches us about being disciples. She's a strong inviting character - a disciple to be emulated by all Christians - especially during this Holy Season. With reflective questions and a meditation for each day of Lent, it is for private use or Lenten study.

There's no doubt about Benedict XVI's theological legacy. He's been at the center of every major theological controversy in the Catholic Church over the last fifty years. But he remains a polarizing figure, misunderstood by supporters and opponents alike. A deeper understanding of Benedict's theology reveals a man dedicated to the life and faith of the church. In this collection of essays, prominent Protestant theologians examine and commend the work of the Pope Emeritus. They present a full picture of Benedict's theology, particularly his understanding of the relationship between faith and reason and his pursuit of truth for the church. The global Christian faith can learn from Benedict's insight into the modern church and his desire to safeguard the future of the church by leaning on the wisdom of the ancient church. --Dustjacket Inside Front Flap.
