For Christians, eternity is an exciting promise, but many do not
know the details of what life will be like in heaven and throughout
eternity. "50 Days of Heaven" allows the reader to stop wondering
about heaven by teaching the biblical facts regarding what's so
wonderful about Heaven. The devotional provides an easy-to-follow,
50-day program that reveals the biblical information on what a
Christian's life will be like in heaven. Throughout this journey,
the reader will learn and meditate upon the promises, rewards, and
expectations that a believer in Christ will enjoy for eternity.
This devotional draws on the teachings in Randy Alcorn's
best-selling book "Heaven."
A beautifully written, theologically astute Advent study that
focuses on the story of Zechariah and Elizabeth.
A short reading for every day. Spurgeon wrote this selection of
readings to encourage believers to enter into the full provision
that their relationship to Jesus entitled them to realise, on a
daily basis. He explains we have to present the promises of
Scripture to God in prayer and faith, anticipating that he will
honour what he has said. Beautiful volume in burgundy leather.
This major work offers a historical description and systematic
analysis of the root causes of this global economic crisis, which
the authors understand as a crisis of western civilization.
Secondly, they assume (and prove) that the religions of the Axial
Age were shaped by the suffering of people, deepened by the
emergence of a new economy - based on money, private property and
interest. They assume that the proven convergence of the Axial Age
religions in responding to the social, psychological (and already
ecological) consequences of the new economy can inform, motivate
and empower faith communities and their members to join hands with
social movements towards a new personal and collective culture of
life. In part I they show the linkage between the contexts of
antiquity and modernity concerning the role of money, private
property and the related structures and mentalities of greed,
producing suffering, and psychological, social and ecological
destruction. They show how the religions of the Axial Age responded
to this context in similar ways but with interesting specific
emphases. In relation to today's situation we also raise the
question of psychological hindrances to change in the different
social classes, affected by neoliberalism, and how to overcome
them. Before drawing the conclusions for present-day
alliance-building between faith communities and social movements
for alternatives to neoliberal globalization in Part III they offer
a fundamental critique of the ambivalence of modernity in Part
II.
Clarence Larkin's examination of The Book of Revelation stands as
one of the most detailed commentaries ever created, made unique by
the large tables and illustrations. As with his other intensive
examinations, Clarence Larkin sets out to clarify the many
mysterious chapters and verses for the benefit of Christians
seeking greater insight and knowledge of the holy text. Using his
own system of organization, Larkin dispenses the various messages
and meanings behind the Book of Revelation clearly. Throughout this
superb work of Bible study, all explanations and assertions are
supported by quotations of the scripture. The principle lessons and
stories of Revelation each receive scrutiny, while the various
Sevens - the Seven Dooms, Seven Personages, Seven Last Plagues, and
so on, are explained in enlightening and authoritative detail. The
culmination of more than twenty-five years of study, it is no
exaggeration to say that Larkin's explanations of The Book of
Revelation contain a life's work.
