Dr. Stringer has done a masterful job of presenting a history of the world through the prism of Scripture and godly perspective. The current godless, secular culture completely ignores the foundational philosophies and events which have shaped the world in which we live. These are presented factually and carefully in Dr. Stringer's masterful work. Many highly recommend this work.
the earth thousands of years ago? Where might UFOs come from? Is the devil real or imaginary? Could we have evolved from lower life forms? If God exists, why does he allow so much suffering? What really happens to us when we die? Do we have an immortal soul? What will happen in 2012? Will an asteroid impact end life on earth? THE UNSEEN: What Will Not Happen in 2012 seeks to answer these and other questions, challenging many popularly held beliefs about the unseen-in particular those relating to the spirit world and to what happens to us when we die. This informative and fascinating book also covers events portended to occur in 2012, examining some of the writings of Nostradamus, and looks into the future of the planet Earth through the author's eyes, based on his understanding of Bible prophecy.

The Day I Met God is a collection of unique, powerful stories told by Americans with one thing in common. Young and old, rich and poor, famous and infamous -- they were all searching for something to fill a void in their lives, and they all found it in a personal, life-changing encounter with God. Their amazing stories show how God used the circumstances of their lives -- good, bad, and worse -- to arrange a meeting with Himself. Through miraculous visions, quiet revelations, life and death situations, or gentle persuasion, these people met God, and He filled their empty hearts with freedom, joy, and hope.
God's Truth says what should have been said thousands of years ago. If it had been, history would not have recorded the millions upon millions of people that were needlessly slaughtered in the name of God and religion. For an eye-opening experience and to bridge the divisions between us, read God's Truth: we have been misinformed about God for the last 3,000 years The religions of the world have not lived up to their promise of bringing peace, love and understanding to mankind. In fact, religion has brought just the opposite: war, hate and intolerance. How is this possible? Quite simply because we have the wrong picture in our minds about who, where and what is God. God's Truth clarifies the "who, where and what" God is, and therefore can bring unity and understanding to people everywhere. The book is not based on opinions, religions or ancient writings. As the title suggests, it is entirely built upon evidence that can be understood by the youngest children. This evidence has been with us for thousands of years, but has been largely overlooked until now. God's Truth is written in a friendly, conversational style. Because it unfolds facts that have been overlooked, it is arresting, intriguing and unique. The book will appeal to people throughout the world, irrespective of religion or ethnic background, as it points a way for mankind to find the real God, without any theology or its divisive concepts.

Chapter 1: Unfallen ManEven though God's creation, including man, was sinless, beautiful, orderly and perfect, it was not absolutely perfect. Creation had the potential to become better or worse. It was not absolutely perfect like God, for God is absolutely perfect and unchanging. He cannot get better, nor can He become imperfect or less than what He is, for He is the Lord and does not change (Mal. 3:6).Chapter 2: The Fall of Man (Part One)If the tree of knowledge of good and evil was good, and there was nothing sinful or evil about it, why did God call it the tree of the knowledge of good and evil? Why didn't He call it the tree of the knowledge of good?Chapter 3: What About Babies?What happens to babies when they die? Almost all-if not all-Christians have asked about the destiny of babies. I know that I certainly have. Maybe you have, too. Unfortunately, the Scripture does not have much to say on the subject. Yet there is one classic passage in the Old Testament that does hint at the answer.Alex Altidor was born in St. Lucia a Caribbean island. Thirteen years ago, he was saved-at the age of 20. In 2004, he joined Sherlon, a Vincentian, in holy matrimony.Presently he is engaged in full time gospel work-the preaching and teaching of God's word, and Gospel radio programs-mainly in St. Vincent and the Grenadines.A few years ago, he felt mightily compelled to give back to the Lord his "five loaves and two fish of truths," that the Lord had entrusted him with, hoping that the Lord would accept, bless, and use it to feed a multitude, edify the church, and further His kingdom.
In this 3 series of Unspoken Sermons, George MacDonald states his theological views and among other things. The work itself is a Christian classic spoken of highly by C.S. Lewis. In his introduction to George MacDonald: An Anthology, C. S. Lewis wrote of MacDonald's theology: "This collection, as I have said, was designed not to revive MacDonald's literary reputation but to spread his religious teaching. Hence most of my extracts are taken from the three volumes of "Unspoken Sermons." My own debt to this book is almost as great as one man can owe to another: and nearly all serious inquirers to whom I have introduced it acknowledge that it has given them great help-sometimes indispensable help toward the very acceptance of the Christian faith." Never one to shy away from a difficulty, MacDonald explores some of the most challenging and perplexing passages in the Gospels, each time rising to newer heights in his elucidation of the mysteries of Gods Love.
Faith Across the World is a theological research based book that explores different religious aspects of "faith." The goal is for the reader to compare similarities and differences as well as spark coversation about faith across the entire globe.
Have you ever wondered why some biblical characters act the way they do? How could Joseph forgive his brothers after they sold him into slavery? What gave Mary the courage to say "yes" to God when she might have been stoned to death? Fascinating people of faith emerge from the pages of scripture, telling tales of faith and doubt, healing and hope. For years, the Rev. Dr. Sally Stevens Smith has been bringing them to life for congregations in first person story/sermons. The sermons in Voices from the Story are based directly on biblical texts, supplemented by scholarship, faith and imagination. Dr. Smith enters the stories of the characters and relates their feelings and experiences to ours. We share Cain's pain when God rejects his gift, and remember how rejection can affect us. We rejoice when the bent woman stands up straight after 18 years, and think of ways people are bent over today. Though the inhabitants of the Bible lived long ago and far away, they share our humanity. Like them, we wonder what God is doing in this aching world. Like them, we ask how we can be healed and what it means to live in faith. This book invites you to step into the biblical story and discover that it is your own.
The 1980s produced an unprecedented large amount of literature and a vigorous debate on the purpose and nature of theological education in North America. Surveying and probing the major positions in this debate, David H. Kelsey argues in this book that the central differences between various voices in theological education emerge most clearly when viewed in light of "Athens" and "Berlin."For Kelsey, "Athens" and "Berlin" represent two very different--and ultimately irreconcilable--models of excellent education. In the case of de facto, says Kelsey, that modern North American theological education, for historical reasons, is committed to both models, resulting in ongoing tensions and struggles. Kelsey shows how a variety of significant thinkers--Newman, Niebuhr, Farley, Stackhouse, and several others--fit in the Athens-Berlin framework.In presenting a keen analysis of major themes and patterns of movement in the theological education debate, Between Athens and Berlin itself makes a significant contribution to the debate.
This book is a collection of inspirational sermons given across North America following the 9-11 terrorist attacks. All were written on short notice by pastors who were themselves experiencing 9-11 with the rest of us. They serve to bring us all back to those dark days. Reading the sermon's and the pastors' comments help you recall and experience the feelings we all felt in September 2001.
Just as the Appleseed contains ALL of the DNA for the future tree, the roots, for every aspect of the future apple tree and its fruit; the Book of Genesis contains all of the foundation for the rest of the Word of G-d.
This book is a selection of essays and sermons from Meadville Lombard students, faculty and alumni/ae. From the Introduction: "Unitarian Universalism is a questioning faith. Hence it is appropriate that the title of this second Meadville Lombard Reader is, The Abiding Questions of a Free Church, taken from Alice Blair Wesley's essay contribution of the same title. This attitude of a questioning faith captures well the tenor of the essays and sermons chosen for inclusion in this volume. The essays and sermons that follow were selected from a wealth of submissions from the Meadville Lombard community."

To everyone who has ever laid in bed wondering about life after death, or the existence of God. For all of us, reaching out for any tiny piece of evidence to corroborate our beliefs, or strengthen our doubts. For everyone undergoing a serious illness at home, or in the hospital, or are nearing the end of our journey, and now reside in a hospice, or nursing home. For all of us crying out for some sense to our suffering, this book may offer some relief. This book is not meant to be an academic study, but a source of hope, a comforting perspective, and a reassurance of the existence of God. It is my presumption that the actual orders of creation are very similar. In fact when compared to any other religious beliefs, Genesis is the closest in description, to the actual scientific order of creation we know today. This book is an informal look at the origins of life on this planet, looking at science and Genesis. The question is simple. Does the Book of Genesis, written thousands of years ago, accurately describe the chronological Order of Creation on this planet? Is this coincidence, or divine inspiration? |
