Ken Myers offers fascinating answers to questions about pop culture. He sees it as a culture of diversion, preventing people from asking questions about their origin and destiny and about the meaning of life. Two aspects stand out: a quest for novelty and a desire for instant gratification. In addition, this culture offers something very appealing: the illusion that we set our own standards, are the master of our fate, deserve a break, and are worth it.

What if everything you’ve been told about salvation is wrong? For nearly a thousand years Christians have been hearing and repeating a story about why Jesus died on the cross. It’s the only story of salvation most of them have ever heard. And it’s wrong. The Bible doesn’t have that story and the early Christians never heard that story - they never believed it. In Salvation (and how we got it wrong), Kenneth Myers revisits the story of our salvation, retelling it like the early Christians told it. No longer a tale of an angry God punishing his Son in payment for crimes against his ...

One of the central doctrines of Christianity is also one of the most confusing, what G.K. Chesterton called “a tangled Trinity.” How can there really be one God if the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are truly divine? Because this doctrine is often considered too difficult to contemplate, it becomes the Achilles’ heel of Christian theology and a target for false religions to attack. In The Trinity Untangled Kenneth Myers offers a sensible, biblical, and historic understanding of the Trinity. Eye-opening, engaging and easy to read, this book replaces confusion with clarity, engaging the ...

The doctrine of hell as place of unimaginably painful torment where most of humanity will spend eternity is without question the most troubling and seemingly unchristlike doctrine in all of Christianity. Most modern Christians assume they have no option except to believe it. But what if there were another way to understand hell, a way that offered hope, not despair, and was as old as the Bible itself? In Let's Talk About Hell, Kenneth Myers looks at what the Bible says about the subject, and explores a view held by many ancient Christian leaders that the purpose of hell is not to inflict ...

"Your romance is lighting up my life right now." "I have never seen such a romance in a married couple." "Take stock in the fact that you had the love story to end all stories...you had the real Princess Bride fairy tale love story that only a fraction of a fraction are blessed to experience." When Shirley Myers passed away unexpectedly at the age of 58 after 40 years of marriage to her husband Kenneth, he began receiving condolences that spoke of the beauty of their marriage, as well as requests to set their love story down on paper. In Look At Us, Kenneth Myers tells the story of how a ...

What does the Bible really say about the future? Should we expect horrible things or hopeful things? Does the world end with a bang, or with a whimper - or neither? Is it possible that the popular preachers and novelists have completely missed the point? In The End Is Near...Or Maybe Not! Kenneth Myers offers a sensible, biblical, and historic alternative to the sensationalism of our day. Eye-opening, engaging and easy to read, this book replaces pessimism with optimism and dread with anticipation. It offers a fresh but ancient understanding on things like the Great Tribulation, the ...

Words are powerful and living things, and even in their original languages they change meaning over the years and centuries. When you add the complexity of translation, the meanings of the words sometimes get even more illusive. In this book, Kenneth Myers presents a dozen biblical words that at first glance seem to say one thing, but upon closer inspection reveal much more profound meanings, including some that seem almost opposite of what we first think. Here Bishop Myers presents an engaging, enlightening, and enjoyable volume which is certain to enrich the reader's understanding of what...
