      <![CDATA[<p dir="ltr"><span>The world feels unsettled. Every week the headlines bring fresh reminders of violence, fear, and weariness. It can be overwhelming to watch the brokenness of humanity play out in real time. Yet this is why Spiritbuilding exists—to help Christians trust more deeply in Jesus, to strengthen faith when the world shakes, and to equip believers to live as faithful citizens of His kingdom.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>The psalmist declares, “God is our refuge and strength, a helper who is always found in times of trouble. Therefore we will not be afraid, though the earth trembles and the mountains topple into the depths of the seas” (Psalm 46:1–2). No matter what collapses around us, God’s kingdom stands unshaken. Hebrews 12:28 reminds us, “Since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful.” And Paul points us forward in Colossians 3:1–4, calling us to set our minds on things above because our life is hidden with Christ in God.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>When fear rises and despair looms, God calls us back to perspective. We belong to a kingdom that is eternal. Our citizenship is secure. Our hope is anchored in the promise that Christ will appear, and we will appear with Him in glory.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>So let’s lift our eyes above the noise. Let’s speak the truth of God’s Word into a weary world. And let’s keep building people up, reminding one another that Christ reigns, His promises are sure, and His kingdom will never fall.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>As we move into the fall, things are busy and exciting here at Spiritbuilding. Behind the scenes, we’re also deep in preparation for our </span><strong>2026 Bible class material</strong><span>, ensuring that churches have strong, biblical-centered studies for the future.</span></p>
<p>Most of all, we want to pause and say <strong>thank you</strong>. Your support—through prayers, encouragement, and partnership—makes it possible for us to keep producing resources that build faith, strengthen churches, and equip Christians to live as faithful citizens of God’s kingdom. We don’t take that for granted, and we are deeply grateful to walk alongside you in this work.</p>

<p>I’m excited to share this with you.</p>
<p>This new booklet provides a simple and straightforward introduction to the churches of Christ. It’s written for people who are seeking truth, visiting your congregation, or just trying to understand what sets the church apart. It’s short enough to read in one sitting but designed to be read slowly, one chapter at a time, with an open Bible.</p>
<p>I think it will be a great addition to your congregation’s guest welcome area, a tool for one-on-one studies, or even a short class series.</p>
<p>Here’s a short excerpt from the preface:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><em><span>“You may be asking, What is true? What does God actually want from me? How can I know I’m on the right path? This booklet was written to help answer those questions by going back to the source: the Bible.</span><br><span>We want to be the church you read about in the New Testament—nothing more, nothing less.</span><br><span>We don’t follow man-made creeds or religious trends. We follow Jesus Christ, and we believe His word is sufficient.”</span></em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>Each of the ten chapters explores a key topic—from the organization of the church to the meaning of baptism to the nature of worship. Each one is built around Scripture and includes reflection questions and a challenge to follow Christ, not tradition.</p>

      <![CDATA[<p><em>What is your vision for your ministry and your business?</em></p>
<p><span>I was asked this question yesterday while sitting with one our writers here at Spiritbuilding Publishers. </span><span>I appreciated his question. As I thought of how to answer, my mind went to what someone else said earlier in the day as they stopped to talk to me a few minutes after walking onto the Florida College campus. This brother, who I had never met personally before, began his conversation with me by saying I am known for being a bridge builder. Wow. What a great compliment. Later in the day, as I answered the writer’s question, bridge building was on my mind. I said I wanted to be known as a servant of Christ who is a committed disciple of Jesus and build relationships with all in the church. I don’t want to be committed to a </span><em>label;</em><span> I want to be connected to Christ and His </span><em>people.<span> </span></em><span>This is my mission in ministry, and it is the idea that propels the business my wife and I own. Spiritbuilding is not just for brethren of one inclination or group -- it's for all brethren who love the Lord and want to glorify Him.</span></p>
<p>I'm reminded of the impact of love in bridging relationships within the church. As I navigate both realms, my goal remains steadfast: to serve as a disciple of Christ, deeply committed to building connections and unity among His people.</p>
<p>As I'm learning, love isn't just an action; it's the essence of spiritual vitality. It binds us together, enriches our interactions, and infuses every aspect of our service with genuine meaning. Whether through teaching on unity or publishing resources aimed at strengthening bonds among brethren, my mission is clear: to embody Christ's love in all that I do.</p>
<p>May our commitment to love be the defining characteristic of our spiritual life, shaping not only our relationships but also the very fabric of our brotherhood. For, ultimately, it is love that bridges the gaps, binds us in fellowship, and reflects the heart of our Savior to a watching world.</p>]]>

      <![CDATA[<p><meta charset="utf-8"><span data-mce-fragment="1">To become a Christian, one must be "born of God," a spiritual rebirth that provides forgiveness, a promise of inheritance, and fellowship with God. The New Testament teaches that water baptism is necessary for this spiritual rebirth, but unfortunately, many religious people reject this idea. This book, "Being Born of God," is based on biblical teachings and aims to explain the subject of water baptism in ways that may not have been considered before. It emphasizes the importance of baptism in obtaining fellowship with God and can deepen one's understanding of this valuable subject, even if they have already undergone baptism. </span></p>

      <![CDATA[<p>We're excited to announce the release of two new books ... one on the Restoration Movement by L. A. Stauffer and the other that will help you share Jesus with the lost by Ethan Longhenry. Both books are printing this week and should be available to ship the week of Thanksgiving. eBook versions of these books are ready now for download!</p>
<p><strong><a href="https://spiritbuilding.com/products/the-restoration-movement-speaking-as-the-oracles-of-god" title="The Restoration Movement by L. A. Stauffer">The Restoration Movement: </a><em><a href="https://spiritbuilding.com/products/the-restoration-movement-speaking-as-the-oracles-of-god" title="The Restoration Movement by L. A. Stauffer">Speaking as the Oracles of God</a> </em></strong>goes back over 200 years and discusses the early restoration movement and notable figures like Barton W. Stone, Alexander Campbell, Walter Scott, and others. Brother Stauffer covers history all the way up to the late 1970's. With brother Stauffer's permission we asked Steve Wolfgang to write an appendix that summarizes restoration history from the 1970's to present day. This is a great book to add to your personal library and would be great for small groups, etc.</p>
<p><strong><a href="https://spiritbuilding.com/products/one-story-sharing-in-his-life-now-and-forever" title="ONE Story by Ethan Longhenry">ONE Story: </a><em><a href="https://spiritbuilding.com/products/one-story-sharing-in-his-life-now-and-forever" title="ONE Story by Ethan Longhenry">Sharing in His Life Now and Forever</a> </em></strong>is an <span data-mce-fragment="1">invitation to grasp the breadth of God's love, to understand the entire story of Scripture through the lens of reconciliation and unity, and to see how we are called to share in God’s life now and forever. This book will make a great tool to use in sharing the gospel with the lost. Brother Longhenry has done an excellent job with this book. </span></p>
<p><span data-mce-fragment="1">The year may be getting close to ending, but we've still got a number of books to release before 2024 begins. More to come!</span></p>]]>

      <![CDATA[<p>Exploring Insightful Commentaries by David Stewart: A Valuable Addition to Your Library<br><br>Recently, during my visit to Searcy for the Harding Lectures, I had the pleasure of meeting David and Debbie Stewart in person. David has produced four comprehensive commentaries that are a must-have for any serious student of the Bible. These commentaries offer a unique blend of scholarship, practicality, and spiritual insight that will enrich your understanding of the scriptures. Let's dive into these remarkable resources:<br><br><strong><a title="A Commentary on Judges by Stewart Publications" href="https://spiritbuilding.com/products/a-commentary-on-judges">Judges: Uncovering Ancient Wisdom</a></strong><br><br><strong>Price: $32</strong><br><br>David Stewart's commentary on the book of Judges is a treasure trove of knowledge for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of this complex book.

    <title>We're Excited About Chad Sychtysz's New Book</title>
    <author>

    <content type="html">
      <![CDATA[<meta charset="utf-8">
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><span class="Apple-converted-space">In a world where "Christianity" has often deviated from its true essence, it is crucial to revisit the foundations of our faith. Chad Sychtysz's new book, "The New Testament Pattern: God's Blueprint for Christians and Their Churches," boldly challenges the prevailing norms and offers a clarion call to return to the original design prescribed by Christ. With 209 pages of insightful content, this softcover book, perfectly bound, unveils the importance of aligning our beliefs and practices with the teachings of the New Testament.<br data-sanitized-data-mce-fragment="1"><br data-sanitized-data-mce-fragment="1"><strong>Recognizing the Appalling State of Contemporary Christianity:</strong><br data-sanitized-data-mce-fragment="1">Sychtysz begins by acknowledging the alarming state of what is often called "Christian religion" in our modern era. He points out the discrepancy between the title of Christ as "Lord" and the failure to heed His teachings. Many churches claim to uphold the authority of the Bible, yet they promote teachings that contradict its very essence. Instead of honoring divinely revealed truth, "Christianity" has become more about satisfying human expectations.<br data-sanitized-data-mce-fragment="1"><br data-sanitized-data-mce-fragment="1"><strong>The Need for Christ-Centered Obedience:</strong><br data-sanitized-data-mce-fragment="1">True believers understand that honoring Christ as the head of His church requires complete obedience to His instructions. Sychtysz emphasizes that one cannot simultaneously follow personal desires while claiming allegiance to Christ. Any form of resistance against Christ is, at its core, a manifestation of unbelief, regardless of who perpetuates it.<br data-sanitized-data-mce-fragment="1"><br data-sanitized-data-mce-fragment="1"><strong>Returning to the New Testament Pattern:</strong><br data-sanitized-data-mce-fragment="1">To rectify religious errors and realign our lives and churches with God's intended design, Sychtysz proposes a simple and achievable solution: a return to the New Testament pattern. This pattern serves as a guide for how Christians are made, how they should live, and how they ought to function collectively. Contrary to popular belief, understanding and implementing this pattern does not require extensive theological training. All one needs is an open Bible, an open heart, and a sincere desire to learn and apply God's Word within its proper context.<br data-sanitized-data-mce-fragment="1"><br data-sanitized-data-mce-fragment="1"><strong>Conclusion:</strong><br data-sanitized-data-mce-fragment="1">"The New Testament Pattern: God's Blueprint for Christians and Their Churches" by Chad Sychtysz is a timely and thought-provoking book that challenges the status quo of contemporary Christianity. With its 209 pages, softcover format, and perfect binding, it is a valuable resource for individuals and churches seeking to realign their beliefs and practices with the original design established by Christ. By returning to the New Testament pattern, we can reclaim the essence of our faith, honor Christ as Lord, and live in accordance with God's divine truth. Let this book serve as a guide on your journey to rediscover God's blueprint for your life and the collective body of believers.</span></span></p>]]>

      <![CDATA[<p>Spiritbuilding Publishers is excited to add two books (with more to come) published by Eden Hollow Books of Pinson, AL. Adam Shanks has a blog, various workbooks, home school material, and art for sale on his website. We think you will really like his latest two books, both centering on Bible study. </p>
<p><strong><a href="https://spiritbuilding.com/products/laying-the-tracks-making-paths-through-your-bible-verse-by-verse?_pos=1&amp;_sid=3f0ddf3ac&amp;_ss=r" title="Laying the Tracks Adam Shanks">Laying the Tracks</a></strong> takes an interactive approach at helping you create pathways through the Bible, marking verse by verse through various topics. Topics include issues of salvation, for instance whether someone can be good enough to be saved by their own merit, or whether they can be so bad that they no longer have salvation available to them. Other topics include finances, marriage and divorce, raising children, and worship. </p>
<p><strong><a href="https://spiritbuilding.com/products/the-word-revealed?_pos=1&amp;_sid=51a5a79dc&amp;_ss=r" title="The Word Revealed Adam Shanks">The Word Revealed</a></strong> is designed to help you as an individual learn to use your Bible, dig deeper into its teachings, and learn how to correctly develop a correct understanding. Each of its twenty-six lessons are split into three days of activities, giving you a great opportunity to develop the habit of regular study of God's Word. </p>
<p>Check these new books out for only $8.99 each!</p>]]>

      <![CDATA[<p>As I talk to shepherds, preachers, and other church leaders around the country, I am constantly asked about good, relevant Bible class material for teen and high school/college classes. Spiritbuilding already had a lineup of material for this age category, but in 2021 we made a commitment to adding new products in this area.</p>
<p>To do so, we brought three new writers on board: Josh Welch (Anderson, IN), Aisha Jenya (Columbus, OH), and BJ Sipe (Danville, KY). Each of these has done an excellent job. All three books normally sell for $8.99 each, <strong>but we've <a href="https://spiritbuilding.com/products/highschool-college-young-adult-studies-get-them-in-a-bundle-save" title="High School College Age Class Material Bundle">bundled these together at a discounted price.</a></strong></p>
