Islam is the fastest growing religion in North America and the world, with well over a billion followers. Since the Islamic revolution in Iran and the dismantling of communism, the world has seemed to be heading inexorably towards greater confrontation between Muslim and non-Muslim cultures. At a time when communities increasingly tend to view each other with suspicion, this book cuts through the morass of understanding and misinformation to give a timely overview of the universality and light of the prophetic message and the traditions that have grown up around it; the life of Islam today, its potential for bringing unity; and speculates on its future. The introduction also features selections from key Islamic writings.

Gebeur daar vandag nog wonderwerke? Groot wonderwerke, soos genesing van terminale siekte en kreupelheid?

Isak Burger vertel in God se wonderbaarlike genesingskrag 11 verstommende ware verhale van gewone mense vir wie daar opreg gebid is en wat bonatuurlik genees is. Saam met die ware verhale van mense wat persoonlik wonderbaarlike wonderwerke beleef het, praat Isak oor die aard van wonderwerke, wonderwerke in die Bybel en die mite dat God en die wetenskap altyd teenoor mekaar gestel moet word.

Dié ware verhale van bonatuurlike genesings sal elkeen wat dit lees, verseker dat jý as gelowige Hom ook kan vra om die onmoontlike te doen. Soms sê Hy ja...

God se wonderbaarlike genesingskrag getuig van die genade, liefde en genesingskrag van God – Hy wat gister, vandag en tot in ewigheid dieselfde is.

But after the death of her father and the marriage of her sister, she's found joy in her work as a seamstress. When a minor accident leaves her unable to sew, she decides to use her time to compile a book of stories about the men working on the Santa Fe Railroad. But worry begins to grow in San Marcial as Mexican revolutionaries set out to destroy the railroad--and put many lives in danger. With Europe at war and his longtime friend Cassie injured, railroad worker Brandon DuBarko is burdened by his troubles. He promised Cassie's father he would watch over her, but as their comfortable friendship slowly transforms into something deeper, he feels trapped by a secret from his youth. When a vengeful man reappears in Brandon's life, intent on causing conflict, Brandon must face his past before he can move forward. As the danger intensifies, Cassie and Brandon must rely on God to overcome the obstacles that stand in the way of a brighter future.
