The Vanishing Power Of Death
Death no longer has dominion over the one who follows Christ. When the tomb was found empty, death lost its power. In “The Vanishing Power of Death,” Pastor Lutzer considers the evidence for the resurrection of Christ and its impact on the disciples. From Mary weeping at the tomb, to Thomas' doubting, to Christ's counseling session with two discouraged disciples on the road to Emmaus, Pastor Lutzer shows readers that the experiences of the disciples are poignant and relevant for believers today. This is a book that is sure to invigorate your faith and make a lasting difference in the hands of a friend.

The parable of the prodigal son has inspired many books. We can be sure that the father who waited for his son was a praying parent. Nothing but God’s intervention would have brought the son home. Let’s learn more lessons we can take with us as we, too, seek to be praying parents.

Only God can count the tears of parents whose kids have gone to the far country. Like the prodigal son in the Bible, their kids chose a path destined for failure. But there is great power in persistent prayer, and our God is a God who answers prayer.

How badly do you want God to answer your prayers for a child in trouble? In Matthew chapter fifteen, Jesus was amazed by the faith of a Canaanite women with a demon-possessed daughter, and he healed her child. Is our faith as great?

Victims of abuse often seethe with rage at their abusers. Their sense of violation cries out for revenge. But these victims abuse themselves further if they fail to forgive those who have wronged them. Let’s learn about the difficult necessity of extending forgiveness.

The devil wants to destroy the family, and especially the role model of the father. When abuse takes place, abuse of any kind, a father faces severe judgment from God. Step one in coming clean is to acknowledge that the abuse is real.

Abuse takes many forms, all of which are destructive in a family. But abuse is nothing new. King Saul of Israel is a textbook case of an abuser, a man consumed with jealousy.  Let’s examine a portrait of a man you don’t want to emulate.

The dark secret in all too many families is abuse. It takes several forms: verbal, physical, even sexual. The hurt caused by abuse is incalculable, both to the abused and the abuser. In this message we’ll learn what to do if you are a victim, or a victimizer.
