What will the political and cultural landscape look like to Christians in 2050? Will the spiritual foundations of America experience a rebirth? Or will progressivism have eliminated Christian values altogether? Will Christians be anticipating the end times? Will the tribulation have come? This second volume in the Tribulation Cult series finds growing numbers of Christians isolated in a cultural and political climate that embraces ever more radicalpolicies and lifestyles. The church of Christendom is caught in the crosshairs. Itsclergy, leaders, and congregationsmust decide whether to go along with the progressive changes being forced upon them, or stand against them. Those that choose the latter course, as a remnant of faithfulness to scriptural truth, find themselves not only ostracized by the world, but also cut off from many in the organized church. By standing strong for traditional biblical perspectives, theycome to be viewed as a subversive cult. As Christians are divided in their responses to the times, the future of Christianity in America becomes increasingly fragmented. Do scripturally-traditional Christians truly represent a dangerous cult? Should they becut off from mainstream society? Or have they perhaps discovered important ancient truths that are not as outmoded as the world of modernism believes? End times themes stage a major comeback within evangelicalism as the mid-century approaches. Two former college roommates stand at the vanguard of the titanic clash between opposing worldviews—evangelicalism''s new best-selling prophetic author who promises to name the antichrist before the next election, and his former friend and leading presidential candidate whom pundits give odds the frontrunner in what they glibly term "the Antichrist sweepstakes." This deeply challenging spiritual drama is sure to jolt many of Christendom''s sacred prophetic cows, as well as preconceptions about how Christianity and the world interact. At the same time the riveting page-turner—taken straight from today''s headlines that might have been ripped from a Hollywood script—will keep readers on the edge of their seats, and will remind his loyal fans of Phillips'' best-seller Rift in Time. Readers are kept guessing as events in the political world careen toward their appointed destiny.The pivotal election of 2048 climaxes with a shocking turn of events. The evangelical world is left reeling, while the political world hails a new era in Progressivism''s globalist triumph.

The acclaimed Christian novelist and devotional author brings the Bible to life with this engaging fictionalized account of the Gospel and its writing. A small and insignificant village a few miles south of Jerusalem has been chosen by the heavens for the event that will change history. No one has an inkling of what is to come save the young woman chosen out of obscurity—like the village—to play a central role in the grand, unfolding drama. In Eyewitness Gospel, Michael Phillips applies his storytelling craft to a vivid retelling of Jesus''s life, death, and resurrection, as well as the tireless works of his apostles as they spread the good news.

The unforgettable true story of one man’s escape from the school-to-prison pipeline, how he reinvented himself as a pastor and education reform advocate, and what his journey can teach us about turning the collateral damage in the lives of our youth into hope. “A heart-wrenching and triumphant story that will change lives.”—Bishop T. D. Jakes Michael Phillips would never become anything. At least, that’s what he was told. It seemed like everyone was waiting for him to just fall through the cracks. After losing his father, suffering a life-altering car accident, and losing his college scholarship, Michael turned to selling drugs to make ends meet. But when his house was raided, he was arrested and thrown into a living nightmare. When it looked like he would be sentenced to spend years behind bars, the judge gave him a choice—go to a special college program for adjudicated youth or face the possibility of a thirty-year prison sentence. It wasn’t hard to pick. From that choice, a mission was born—to help change the system that shuffles so many young Black men like Michael straight from school to prison. Today, Michael is the pastor of a thriving church, a local leader in Baltimore, and a member of the Maryland State Board of Education. He discovered that education was the path to becoming who he was created to be. Armed with research, statistics, and his powerful story, Michael tackles the embedded privilege of the education system and introduces ideas for change that could level the playing field and reduce negative impacts on vulnerable youth. He explores ways in which the readers can help advocate and provide resources for students, and points us to the one thing anyone can start doing, no matter who we are or what our role is: speak into young kids’ lives. Tell them of their inherent worth and purpose. In this inspiring, thought-provoking, and energizing call to action, Michael’s practical steps provide a way forward to anyone wanting to help create space for collateral hope in the lives of for young people around them.

The dawning of 1860 brings rising tensions between the North and South that threaten to escalate into full-scale war. Corrie Belle Hollister finds herself thrust into the political arena with her new reputation as "California''s woman reporter." Handsome political aide Cal Burton approaches Corrie to convince her that Lincoln--even the nation itself--depends upon the influence she can wield through her writing and speaking. Corrie is resolute in her belief that slavery is wrong, and that she should do what she can to help Lincoln get elected, but mounting conflict within the Hollister family makes her realize that taking a stand sometimes goes deeper than drawing a political line.

Pursued as a Union spy inside Confederate territory, Corrie''s desperate attempt to escape on horseback is cut short by the sound of gunfire and the excruciating pain in her back from a bullet. Mercifully, the fear and pain are quickly overtaken by darkness as the reins slip through her fingers. When Corrie slowly awakens from weeks of unconsciousness, the first face she sees belongs to Christopher Braxton, the young man who found her nearly dead on the roadside and carried her to safety. As she is nursed back to health, Corrie finds that the physical damage to her body is not nearly as difficult to treat as her lingering amnesia. Beginning with the single letter in her pocket, Corrie and Christopher struggle to piece together the limited clues to Corrie''s past.

The author of Pinnacles of Power delivers a post-Cold War spy thriller featuring globe-hopping journalist Jackson Maxwell. The place: A European center of power in the emerging new world order. The event: An international conference plotting the strategy for evangelism in the post-Cold War era. Jackson Maxwell, Christian journalist, travels to Berlin intent upon capturing the spirit of this historic gathering. But behind the scenes, a much more crucial chain of events is about to take shape. As high-tech churchmen plan a big-money conversation of the East, Jackson is suddenly faced with the life-or-death struggle of one solitary Christian. He is Andrassy Galanov, a former KGB spy, whom aspiring leaders of the new order want dead as soon as possible. When Jackson and leading evangelist Jacob Michaels make the decision to help, they are plunged into a hidden world of political intrigue, phony coups d''état, plans for a one-world currency, and a sinister religious vision for the globe. In their race against time, Jackson and Jacob also run headlong into their most surprising find—the rethinking of the very nature of Christian conversion itself.

The bestselling author serves up "a marvelous, full-bodied repast for those Christians who seek God''s presence rather than any blessings he might bestow" ( Publishers Weekly). Most of us want to know God more intimately. But are we willing to boldly face the challenge of what that means? Are we truly willing to pray a prayer that may be dangerous in ways we cannot anticipate? Are we willing to ask God to make us like Jesus? Author Michael Phillips shares from his own life how he has learned to take up that challenge. Then he examines key decisions in the life of Jesus Christ that illuminate what it means for each one of us to be conformed to the image of his son—to love like Jesus, think like him, pray like him, and trust the Father like him. If status-quo spirituality is for you, do not read this book. It is a dangerous book—dangerous to the flesh—for the journey toward Christlikeness may be painful and costly. Yet that journey leads to the ultimate purpose God intends for all his children: conformity to the image of his son. "This book is a gem, written from the heart by a man I have called brother and friend for twenty years. Make Me Like Jesus gives us an open, honest look at what it really means to walk truthfully with Christ." —Jim Ryun, former Congressman, Olympian, and coauthor of Heroes Among Us "Phillips offers a much-needed corrective to several popular but superficial descriptions of the Christian life." —Bishop William C. Frey, author of The Dance of Hope

The author of Make Me Like Jesus shares a personal and thought-provoking inquiry into the practical mechanics of knowing God''s will in our lives. One of the greatest mysteries of the Christian faith is how we can understand the Will of God. The difficulty is underscored by Scripture''s repeated use of the word "unknowable" in connection with "the Almighty". How can we possibly grasp that which is unknowable? Yet God commands us to know him. He also commands us to search diligently to find wisdom. We are therefore called upon to make the attempt to understand something we will never be capable of knowing. In Will of God, Michael Phillips discusses how we can best approach this challenge with gusto as well as humility.

Inspired by C.S. Lewis''s classic Mere Christianity, the renowned Christian author presents a bold new vision of faith in modern times. In 1952, C.S. Lewis''s Mere Christianity turned the tide of public debate surrounding the validity of Christian faith. In a series of essays, Lewis made compelling arguments for the existence of God and the divinity of Jesus, answering popular criticisms of the era. Now author Michael Phillips takes up the mantle, going beyond "mere" Christianity to present intellectually rigorous faith as an essential component of contemporary life. Once an avowed atheist, Lewis found spiritual inspiration in the spiritual writings of George MacDonald. As the leading authority on MacDonald''s work, Michael Phillips draws from the same wellspring of wisdom to provide an equally stimulating examination of Christian theology.

The Dramatic Conclusion to Michael Phillips''s Shetland Islands Saga Loni Ford''s unexpected inheritance of substantial real estate--not to mention a title--in the Shetland Islands has caused more than a stir in the quiet fishing hamlet of Whales Reef. How is life ever to be the same with an outsider--and a woman, at that--playing such a pivotal role in the life of this conservative community? But it isn''t just the locals who have deep misgivings about the current situation. Loni herself never imagined this in her wildest dreams. What Loni is more sure of, however, is that she is falling in love--with Whales Reef, with its hardy people, with its simple, peaceful way of life, and with local chieftain David Tulloch, whose inheritance she has usurped, at least in the eyes of some. But life in Whales Reef is not without drama. Deep rifts exist between certain lifelong residents, and when one local resident turns up dead, suspicion is cast in the direction of the island''s most prominent family. How Loni and David deal with this challenge will go a long way in determining their future, and that of the quaint island community.

And while Hardy doesn''t enjoy much popular support, he has the backing of a shadowy group of North Sea oil investors. The courts have frozen the estate''s assets while the competing claims are investigated, leaving many of the residents in financial limbo. The future of the island--and its traditional way of life--hangs in the balance. Loni Ford is enjoying her rising career in a large investment firm in Washington, DC.

The noted Christian author shares an enlightening exploration of the Gospels, the call to obedience, and what it means to live your faith every day. Jesus often introduces the subject of obedience with the tiny but significant word "if". He recognizes that there are always two paths—obedience and disobedience. He commands obedience. But many will not obey. In The Commands of Jesus, Michael Phillips illuminates the true meaning and vital importance of heeding God''s word. He identifies 120 commands of Jesus found in the Gospels and discusses how we can incorporate each one into our daily lives.

This concise yet thorough analysis of core Christian principles cuts through doctrinal debates to illuminate the essentials of faith. Much of Christendom functions on the basis of formulas, catechisms, recipes of spirituality, and widely varying lists of what is considered "acceptable doctrine." This brief discussion simplifies the vast scope of Christian truth by identifying eight essential "principles" that can be embraced and practiced by all Christians and churches across the spectrum of belief. Devotional author Michael Phillips uses these universal truths as a springboard for investigating the fundamentals of the Christian faith for both beginner and theologian, simple yet life-changing and profound. He also includes a parallel exploration of several common pitfalls that have infiltrated the church through history as counterfeit indicators of spirituality.
