Does the allegiance that radical terrorists give to their cause exceed the allegiance many Christians today give to Jesus Christ? Have Christians lost the dynamic, titanic, living gospel and exchanged it for a gospel of religious duty or permissiveness and "easy believism"? Bible Gateway interviewed Frank Viola about his book, Insurgence: Reclaiming the Gospel of the Kingdom (Baker Books, 2018).

Stories convey truths through plot, character, and point of view. Nowhere is that more true than in the Bible. Jesus and the prophets taught through story, and The CEB Storytellers Bible (Common English Bible, 2017) helps readers see the big themes and important truths of the Bible while also guiding them in how to tell these stories in contemporary language.

When Dr. Bennet Omalu wrote a scientific journal article on brain damage and Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE), it placed him in the center of football controversy that continues today. His book Truth Doesn't Have a Side: My Alarming Discovery about the Danger of Contact Sports (Zondervan, 2017) tells how, one day in 2002, the 50-year old body of former Pittsburgh Steeler and hall of famer Mike Webster was laid on a cold table in front of Dr. Omalu. Webster’s body looked to the neuropathologist like the body of a much older man, and the circumstances of his behavior prior to his death were clouded in mystery. But when Omalu cut into Webster’s brain, it appeared to be normal. Something didn’t add up.
