Do the laws of nature prohibit the possibility of direct divine
intervention? After the crucifixion, did God really present Jesus
in some form to disciples and to others? What is the core of Jesus'
good news ("gospel"), how does it differ from Paul's good news, and
how relevant is it to today's world? A physics teacher gives his
personal answers to these questions.
Have you ever asked how God's knowledge of the future impacts your
life today? Frustrating God offers a challenge to the assumptions
of open theism and provides answers that are both refreshing and
new. Theologians and laypeople alike have struggled with the extent
God's knowledge, the limitations of human free will, and the
practical implications these ideas have for everyday life. Why
doesn't God do something about all the evil in the world? Have you
ever tried to answer the question about God's goodness in light of
the fact that people He created will be lost for all eternity? How
can God answer prayers if He does not know and may not be able to
anticipate the future consequences of those answers? How do we
resolve the apparent conflict between human freedom and God's
overwhelming power? You can find the answer to these and many more
questions in Frustrating God. In this challenge to the theological
view of open theism, Pastor Luis Scott offers a radically new
alternative to the seemingly tense relationship between God's
foreknowledge and human free will. This deepened understanding of
God's nature can enhance your perception of a God so magnificent
that the only word to describe our struggle to know Him is
frustrating. In Frustrating God you will begin a journey to a
deeper knowledge of the mysterious God of the Bible-the God who
baffles us, but loves us enough to lay the penalty of sin upon His
beloved Son.
When Alfred Schwab was given the opportunity to meet a "contact"-an
incorporeal entity who had been communicating with someone Alfred
barely knew-he was skeptical, to say the least. But his curiosity
and open mind encouraged him to at least explore the
possibility.Orifi, a non-physical being with a special affection
for humans, was willing and able to share his insights from beyond
our understanding. Over the course of many years, he and Alfred
shared countless conversations filled with humor and earthly
give-and-take. Orifi shared generously about our reality, fate,
free will, health, love, religion, and our physical world-past,
present, and future. When Alfred was faced with unimaginable
tragedy in the death of his child, he turned to Orifi for guidance
and hope. And what Orifi shared allowed the grieving father to view
his life experiences in a new and optimistic way. "You are never
alone," Orifi promised his friend, and that sentiment rings through
Alfred's story and words.
Only the few can claim to be the best of all or better than anyone
else in a particular endeavor or accomplishment. But most of the
rest of us can claim significant success within a sphere unique to
each of us-the personality only you in the whole world can claim
and the mix of challenges and opportunities only you are
confronting. To assure your progress in this personal arena, author
John R. Gunn offers clues to your personalized success through 75
of the time-honored Bible Proverbs that encase the wisdom and
practical help that has guided adherents of the world's most
renowned religions over the centuries. "In a time such as ours-one
of massive change, competing claims to truth, and deep
uncertainty-the need for true wisdom becomes urgent. In these
reflections from the Book of Proverbs by John R. Gunn, we encounter
afresh the power of biblical wisdom, a wisdom our culture
desperately needs. Gunn was an articulate and prolific minister
whose insightful and faithful sermons and newspaper columns spoke
confident and wise truths to the first half of the twentieth
century. Now, through this volume, those truths speak powerfully to
a new generation." Thomas G. Long, Bandy Professor of Preaching,
Candler School of Theology, Emory University, Atlanta GA. John R.
Gunn's popular syndicated newspaper columns on inspirational themes
appeared for over fifty years in the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette.
His messages also reached listeners over 2,000 radio stations plus
the Armed Forces Radio Network through the broadcast "Be Still and
Know." Other of his books recently published include Those Loving
Feelings: The Song of Solomon for Newlyweds and Under the Gunn:
Inspiration for Preachers. For more resources by and information
about John R. Gunn, including access to hundreds of classic "Be
Still and Know" radio devotionals based on his work, visit the

Who's to Blame? is an autobiography focusing on the author's life,
his misfortunes, his quest to seek and make sense of those
misfortunes, and who caused them: God, Satan, or himself?
Resolutions are found once man accounts and takes responsibility
for his faults, understanding Satan's role and God's permissible
will in all that happened. This book challenges Christians to focus
on grace, mercy, and faithfulness of God, have fellowship with him,
account for their sins, know Satan's tactics, and understand God's
discipline and blessing. He further encourages believers to study
God's word on a daily basis in order to know the will of God, grow
spiritually, and know how to recover when backsliding. The book
wishes unbelievers to come to Christ and accept him as their only
hope and savior.
Are you living your life in a state of joy, gratitude and
thankfulness? Do you laugh a lot and feel like it's Christmas every
day? If not, then this book is meant for you.Many of us instead
live our lives feeling depressed, anxious and unhappy. We race home
from work only to be overloaded with even more work around the
house. Rather than enjoying our lives and interpersonal
relationships, we tend to lose sight of what's really important and
instead focus on acquiring material things and the numerous work
tasks needed to get done. We may have forgotten how to play and
enjoy life. The more debt we take on, the more pressured our lives
become as well. Some of us are also angry inside, holding onto
grudges and feeling like we have been victimized by another's
thoughts, words and deeds. Feeling victimized, we may then lash out
in anger at the people closest to us and do harm to those we love.
Harnessing the Force both simplifies the wellness concepts and
expands upon the spiritual content of my previous book, The Force
is With You Always It is loaded with wit and wisdom about living
life in harmony with your true inner self. It connects you to your
soul within in order to make beautiful soul music without. It will
help you turn enemies into friends while living in harmony with
nature and Spirit. Learning to live a healthy life in harmony with
Spirit is well worth the pursuit.
