Seeing all of life with Jesus at the centre. Encouraging apologetics and evangelism to speak life to a needy world.

Today in the West, many consider the church to be dead or dying. Christianity is seen as outdated, bigoted, and responsible for many of society’s problems. This leaves many believers embarrassed about their faith and many outsiders wary of religion. But what if the Christian message is not the enemy of our modern Western values, but the very thing that makes sense of them? In this fascinating book, Glen Scrivener takes listeners on a journey to discover how the teachings of Jesus not only turned the ancient world upside down, but continue to underpin the way we think.

How does that sound? Perhaps you’re already familiar with Christian beliefs or maybe they are completely new to you.

We all love stories. We can't help it. They fill our vision and capture our heart. And these stories all follow familiar patterns: rags to riches, the monster defeated, love lost and then found again. Across the ages, and down through history, these themes have resonated with people.
