Would you ever try to drive from New York to Chicago by heading for
Miami? Of course not. We all know that to get to a desired
destination we have to take the right road. The same thing is true
of trying to get to heaven, yet many believe that all religions
lead to God. The Bible radically disagrees: - Jesus said, "I am the
way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except
through me."1 - The early church leader, Peter, clearly proclaimed
that "There is salvation in no one else [but Jesus], for there is
no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be
saved. "2 He spoke those words despite the very real risk of death
by the same religious leaders who had crucified Christ weeks
before! - The apostle Paul, author of several New Testament books
of the Bible, wrote that "There is one God, and there is one
mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave
himself as a ransom for all."3 - And one of Christ's disciples,
John, wrote without apology, "Whoever has the Son has life; whoever
does not have the Son of God does not have life."4 The Bible, God's
book, makes it clear that apart from Christ there is absolutely no
way to the Father and no eternal life in heaven to look forward to.
Other religions offer systems of thought that try to cross the gap
between man and God, but Jesus is the only one who has bridged that
divide. Christ said that "the gate is wide and the way is easy that
leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many," but only
those who take the narrow way, via Jesus Christ, find eternal
life.5 Jesus' exclusive claims Jesus claimed: "I am the way." Jesus
does not merely show the way; he is the only way to God. He spans
the otherwise unreachable distance between a righteous God and
unrighteous sinners--us! Jesus claimed: "I am the truth." Truth
implies an objective standard that does not change with the whims
of time or culture. "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today
and forever."6 Come to Jesus, and "you will know the truth, and the
truth will set you free."7 Jesus claimed: "I am the life." We are
spiritually dead without Jesus but become spiritually alive when we
believe fully in Jesus Christ for forgiveness and never-ending
life. As the Bible says, "Whoever believes in him [Jesus, God's
Son] is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned
already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of
God."8 Christ's resurrection from the dead was the absolute proof
that he was, indeed, the Son of God and the Author of life that
conquers the enemy of mankind--death. Rising from the dead proved
Jesus had paid the price of our sin then conquered death itself.
Before he returned to heaven he met with over 500 of his followers
to leave final instructions and encouragement (1 Corinthians
15:1-9) Apart from Jesus there is no way to be saved. You cannot
get to heaven on your own, not even by jumping through religious
hoops. The only way to reach God is to believe in Jesus who gave
his life in place of ours: "Christ also suffered once for sins, the
righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God."9
Jesus is the way that must be taken, the truth that must be
believed, and the life that must be trusted in. Will you believe in
the only one who can bring you to God? Place your belief in Christ
today. He promises, "whoever comes to me I will never cast out."10
If that is the sincere desire of your heart, you can use this
prayer as a guide for your own words... Lord, I confess that I have
sinned against you often. And I admit that I deserve to be punished
for the wrongs I have done. But I believe that when Jesus died, he
paid the penalty for my sins. I now ask you to forgive me and to
make me a new person from the inside out. Amen. Bible references:

From its roots in ancient Greek herbal medicine, the popular spirit
we now know as gin was established by the Dutch in the sixteenth
century as a juniper-infused tincture to cure fevers. It gained
notoriety during the London 'gin craze' in the eighteenth century
before enjoying a recent resurgence and a profusion of new
botanical flavourings. Garnished with sumptuous illustrations
depicting the plants that tell the story of this complex and iconic
drink, this enticing book delves into the botany of gin from root
to branch. A diverse assortment of aromatic plants from around the
world have been used in the production of gin over the course of
several centuries. Each combination of botanicals yields a unique
flavour profile that equates to more than the sum of its parts.
Understanding the different types of formulation, and the main
groups of plants used therein, is central to appreciating the
drink's complexities and subtleties. As this book's extraordinary
range of featured ingredients shows, gin is a quintessentially
botanical beverage with a rich history like no other.

Australia's national history has rarely allowed space for the
history of Aboriginal work. This void enabled the growth of
conflicting racist stereotypes of Aborigines as either lazy or
slave-drudges. Historical research tells us otherwise, with
Aborigines demonstrably efficient workers in colonial Australia.
Throughout Australia's history, they worked as domestics, pastoral
and sexual workers, and in entertainment, sports and the arts.
Aboriginal Workers surveys both the historical myths and the
realities. It explores contested white representations of
Aboriginal workers and presents an Australia-wide survey with a
chronology sweeping across the full post-contact period, especially
the less researched twentieth century. As well as providing
valuable new material, Aboriginal Workers offers fresh insights,
especially into the complex intersections of gender, race and
labour. Significantly, this collection includes the perspectives of
both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal historians and workers. This
volume has been updated with a new introduction for 2020.

What is the Key to World Evangelism? All heaven will break loose
when God's glory is on display among His people--to the degree that
unbelievers will say, "Wow! This is something else . . . and we
want it!" So what releases God's glory in this dimension? When we
understand--and live out--the unity Jesus prayed for in John
17:21-22. In Joy Dawson's engaging, conversational, forthright
style, she has given us a biblical and thought-provoking case for
both the need and the how-to, to live in the unity Jesus prayed
for. "Joy's biblical and practical examples of the working of the
Holy Spirit are inspiring and truly offer hope to anyone who
believes in the power of God to unify the Body of Christ. The tone
of humility with which Joy penned this work is a wonderful example
to us all."--Mrs. Vonette Bright, co-founder, Campus Crusade for
Christ (now Cru in the U.S.) "Joy Dawson (Mom to me) has given us
possibly her most important book because it gets to the heart of
what ails us as Christians, and presents the solution. I am
delighted and encouraged."--John Dawson, international president
emeritus, Youth With A Mission "Joy Dawson is a gifted
master-teacher and prophetic voice. In a very real and dynamic
sense, this book has been given to her as a 'word from heaven' and
should shake us up to act upon it. It has shaken me anew."--Jack
Hayford, chancellor, The King's University; founding pastor, The
Church On The Way
