We live as though time is generous, as though tomorrow is guaranteed, as though wounds will heal themselves if we simply wait long enough. Time Lies confronts these comforting illusions with theological honesty and pastoral urgency. Drawing from Scripture, lived experience, and the wisdom of the Church, RJ Ilg exposes the subtle lies we believe about time that lull us into delay, numb us to pain, and train us to confuse endurance with healing. 

This is not a book about productivity or time management. It is instead a meditation on mortality, meaning, and the mercy of God that interrupts our illusions of control.

Written with poetic clarity and unflinching candor, Time Lies invites readers to stop sleepwalking through their days and to live awake to the present moment as an act of worship. To place their hope not in the passing of years, but in the God who stands beyond them.

Your End-Times Theology Sucks, Bro! is a sharp, funny, and pastorally serious book about what happens when Christian hope gets hijacked by panic, prophecy charts, political tribalism, and spiritualized shrugging. RJ argues that eschatology is never just speculation about the future. It forms the way Christians love their neighbors, treat the earth, engage politics, imagine justice, and endure the present.

With wit, theological depth, and just enough holy exasperation, this book takes aim at fear-driven end-times systems that make Christians anxious, cruel, indifferent, or weirdly excited about disaster. But this is not merely a theological demolition project. We're invited back to resurrection, new creation, patient peacemaking, and the ordinary heroism of faithful love.

The end of the world not your excuse. It is the promise that Christ will make all things new, and the call to live now as if that future is already breaking in.

In 'The Death of Pride,' Pastor RJ challenges the traditional approach to discussing biblical sexuality. Instead of starting where the church usually does, he invites us to adopt a fresh framework for viewing the conversation. Through four thought-provoking chapters, RJ addresses a few pressing questions: 

What does Christ's death mean for us, if anything? What about our own truth and stories? Why is love often misunderstood as hate? And why can't Christians just let queer individuals be? 

Drawing on thirteen years of ministry experience and numerous conversations with peers and members of the queer community, RJ offers a gentle yet firm perspective on this complex issue. The book highlights the unchanging truth of the Bible and emphasizes the importance of love, identity, and faith, even if the definitions are not ours to determine. Ultimately, 'The Death of Pride' reveals how Christ's story has the power to rewrite our own, leading us to a deeper understanding of truth, love, and our place in His world.

 A manifesto and a meditation. A pastoral call to remember that allegiance to Jesus is not merely spiritual, but political. In a world drunk on empire, cultural Christianity, and red-white-and-blue idolatry, RJ dares to ask: What if the Church stopped bowing to lesser thrones? Drawing from Scripture, history, and a decade in ministry, RJ explores how discipleship demands dissent, how the Kingdom of God confronts nationalism, and why Christ alone is worthy of our allegiance. This is not a book for the comfortable. It’s for the disillusioned, the deconstructing, and the devoted; those who are ready to trade their flags for a cross.
