Battered and abused as a child, my life for fifty two years was
sex, drugs and violence. Motorcycles were my life and the clubs my
family. So what changed and why? On a mountain in America in 2003
God did the impossible just to show me that for Him there is no
such thing as the impossible. I am alive today because of what He
did, because He saved my life and my soul that day. This year my
wife and I are moving to India, in faith following His word. This
is my story, some of my life so far. I hope you enjoy reading this
account and I pray that it may help someone avoid some of the
mistakes I made, and perhaps come to our Saviour sooner than I did.
"Jesus only is our message"; this line from an old hymn is at the
heart of Michael Dada's message. In this short book he sets out to
explain exactly who Jesus is, and what he can do for us. He brings
light and peace and healing. He brings life. Using Scripture
passages from the traditional King James Version, this book
contains the authentic voice of a man who is passionate about his
Lord, and what he believes his Lord can do for you!
Believe anything you want. The twentieth century has brought with
it a myriad of opinions, philosophies, doctrines and ideologies.
Each one of them important; each one valid. And the world says,
'Believe what you want.' Authors Wes Tracy and Stan Ingersol have
authored Here We Stand to shatter that conclusion. More than ever,
it is important that we know what we believe. Here We Stand is a
comprehensive study of a wide range of beliefs and where Nazarenes
fit into the ideological puzzle. Tracy and Ingersol provide the
most contemporary and complete overview of major religions and
religious beliefs since Why I Am a Nazarene . Nazarenes have the
unique opportunity to reestablish their identity with a new
generation of people. Here We Stand gives a clear view into other
traditions in a language and approach understood by today's pastors
and laymen. Here We Stand contributes to the distinctiveness of
each group without sacrificing the Christian community as a whole.
Pastors, Sunday School teachers and new Christians will find this
unabridged version of the book What Is a Nazarene? an excellent
resource because it lends a knowledgeable, objective voice to
discussions of doctrine, witnessing and spirituality. Here We Stand
provides the historical and theological background needed to
establish identity and ownership among new and life-long Nazarenes.
