The Living Water New Testament
The Living Water New Testament comes very highly recommended by Dr. Christian Overman. He says: "The skills translator Roy Mayfield honed as a Wycliffe Bible translator over 40 years of experience have been put to great use in fulfilling his own longing for an English translation that was highly readable, clear and flowing--like water. This is my favorite version of the New Testament--bar none."

LifeWork
The Living Water New Testament
The Living Water New Testament
LifeWork: A Biblical Theology for What You Do Every Day, by Darrow Miller, with Marit Newton, combines biblical worldview with a robust theology of work, for an outstanding text.
Marvin Olasky says: "I'd like every student to read Darrow Miller's chapters on worldviews at work and the need to battle dualism and the sacred-secular dichotomy. He brilliantly shows how to live and work before God and why it's so important to grasp the biblical theology of vocation. His summary of the Bible's essential metanarrative is pitch-perfect, and his application of that to cultural pursuits is exactly what those who waver need to hear."

FREE e-book: Introduction to Critical Theory
An Introduction to Critical Theory
For a complimentary copy of the 35-page on-line e-book, An Introduction to Critical Theory, by Christian Overman, click here.
This booklet is a series of blog posts as they appeared in the Worldview Matters blog beginning September 6, and ending December 6, 2019. The booklet explains the basic ideas behind "Critical Theory," an ideology developed in the 1930's by a group of German intellectuals fleeing the turmoil of their country to come to America and start their own brand of turmoil. They became known as "The Frankfurt School."
This school of thought greatly influenced higher education in the US, and is now strongly influencing education at the K-12 level. The influence of Critical Theory can be seen throughout American society and culture as a whole, and accounts for much of the division we are now experiencing.
The booklet concludes with a call for cultural activist training to take place during prime-time Sunday morning church services. (For a .pdf copy of An Introduction to Critical Theory, click here.)
