Tens of thousands of American adults join the Catholic Church every year. Why? What is it that attracts them to Catholicism? In Confessions of a Mega-Church Pastor, Allen Hunt unveils the treasures of Catholicism that many life-long Catholics are simply unaware of. At the same time he demonstrates the genius of Catholicism and encourages us to move beyond taking our faith for granted. With a personal touch that is profound and disarming, Hunt takes his readers on a journey that is sure to change the way we experience our faith. At a time when so many are disillusioned about where the Catholic Church is and where it is going, Allen Hunt brilliantly reminds us that personal holiness is the key to the bigger future God wants to leads us to both as individuals and together as a Church.

The Mega Pastor Theological * Political * Philosophical * Apologetically * Inspirational Dr. D.C. Stewart has written a book that is absolutely about Christian leaders being accountable in all things and that Christians conduct themself in godliness. The Mega Pastor is a shepherding pastor of Gods workmanship, who encounters and overcome the intrinsic of all agendas that the body of Christ Jesus is up against. The Mega Pastor is the one taking the lead in the fight of faith. It is fit for the Mega Pastor and leaders of the flock of God to detect and expel the enemies from within and to expose the enemy that is outside looking in. There are primarily three groups of people categorizing this book. The secular humanist, which are all types of people that causes negative affect against Christian believers. Hirelings are those who are in the position to protect and serve the body of Christian believers but are not chosen, therefore causing many to stumble at the word of God and in faith. The Mega Pastors are those called and chosen of God who keeps the faith, walk in truth and preserve the body of Christian believers.

APPARENT DANGER chronicles what may be the most famous story you have never heard. In the 1920's, the Reverend J. Frank Norris railed against vice and conspiracies he saw everywhere to a congregation of more than 10,000 at First Baptist Church in Fort Worth, Texas, the largest congregation in America, the first "megachurch". Norris controlled a radio station, a tabloid newspaper and a valuable tract of land in downtown Fort Worth. Constantly at odds with the oil boomtown's civic leaders, he aggressively defended his activism, observing, "John the Baptist was into politics."Following the death of William Jennings Bryan, Norris was a national figure poised to become the leading fundamentalist in America. This changed, however, in a moment of violence one sweltering Saturday in July when he shot and killed an unarmed man in his church office. Norris was indicted for murder and, if convicted, would be executed in the state of Texas' electric chair.At a time when newspaper wire services and national retailers were unifying American popular culture as never before, Norris' murder trial was front page news from coast to coast. Set during the Jazz Age, when Prohibition was the law of the land, APPARENT DANGER leads to a courtroom drama pitting some of the most powerful lawyers of the era against each other with the life of a wildly popular, and equally loathed, religious leader hanging in the balance.
