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.

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.

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.

"Is God Calling You to Ministry?" seeks to answer the question that title asks. If you find that you answer that question in the affirmative, then you need to know how to access the actualization of your destiny. Jesus said to, "Go into all the world and make disciples of all nations." He did not say, "converts," He said "disciples." God has so ordained His Church that there was to be a program of discipleship that empowers the Christian through training, equipping, and transference of anointing to proclaim and defend his or her faith. Every Christian is called to go through this process. The only way to realize the fulfillment of one's destiny is to follow the instructions Jesus had for His church. If we evade discipleship and then think that we will somehow finish our course, we are deluding ourselves. We define what true discipleship and mentoring are so that we can bring this process back to the church and produce leaders that walk in integrity for the next generation.

In today's world of conflict and change, no one can escape the reality that Islam is spreading very fast. Since 9/11, the Muslim population has doubled in the United States of America. Muslims are building mosques and Islamic centers throughout the country. There is an increasing fear among Americans of the imminent threat of terrorism by Muslims in America. What does Islam teach about terrorism? What is Jihad? What does Islam teach about Christians and Jews? What are the basic beliefs of Muslims? Are all Muslims extremists? How about the ones living among us? Do Muslims hate non-Muslims (specifically Christians and Jews)? Is Islam a religion of peace? These and many other questions will be answered in this book. Understanding Islam is the only way to reach out to Muslims in America and worldwide. The Muslim Next Door, is a guide for churches and individuals to evangelize Muslims. A clear understanding of pure Islamic knowledge can make a difference in our relationships with Muslims in our neighborhoods.

This is done quite skillfully without any reluctance to get into some depth." Prof. John M. Frame (Reformed Theological Seminary) "Dr. Morey has provided a very useful work dealing with both the accomplishment and the application of the redemptive work of Christ. This is presented in a soundly Reformed perspective and deals in a straightforward manner with all the major issues to be considered. An interesting original approach to the order of salvation is to be noted."

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."

This is a rewrite of the original book that was first published in 2010. The newer version contains issues and truths that some scholars won't agree with and which was not in the original book. This version fully explains how important the Holy Spirit is in our life. After the original book was published, Jesus through the Holy Spirit, said he was pleased with the book, but would like for the book to be rewritten by the author. The Holy Spirit told the author the that Jesus and God wanted the author to re-read and re-study the New Testament and re-write the book, with the authors interpretation and opinion. Jesus and God wanted all controversies, myths and contradictions confronted in the newer version, so the people know all truths. The book now contains what Jesus and God wanted and is based on facts in the New Testament and additional facts the Holy Spirit told the author to put in the book, along with the author's opinions after he re-studied the New Testament for over 2 years. This version contains the author's interpretation and opinions about-1-how important the Holy Spirt is in every person's life, every day-2- why God wrote the Commandments-3- Why Jesus was sent to earth - 4- Jesus' teachings, and happenening during Jesus' time on earth. The book contains truths and opinions on the following subjects-1-SEX-2-PRAYING-3- Who are True Believers in Jesus Christ-4- That Jesus wrote the 4 Gospels-5-Did Mary Magdalene and Jesus have a Personal Relationship-6-Can some sins can be forgiven-7-When will the World Ends-8-What happens to our spirit when we die-9-What will happen to Humans after the world ends-10-ETERNAL LIFE-11-Why does God limit who will live in his Kingdom-12-MIRACLES-13-CHILDREN and JESUS-14-ADULTERY-15- ABORTIONS-16-MONEY and POSSESSIONS-17-Same sex Marriage-18-Is humans life time on earth pre-determine-19-How Humans judging other humans, is wrong and againnst God's law -20-Giving to the poor. The book hones in on the subject of, Why Peter, one of Jesus' trusted Apostles never wrote a Gospel, The book explains, "The relationship Peter had with Jesus and how their relationship deteriorated in the end. The book contains the facts and opinions that God wanted in the book, so every person on earth will be able to decide between God and the Devil, regardin where they will spend eternity. God and Jesus wanted all controveries, myths and contradictions issues confronted and the book does that. Most religious scholars will say the author is wrong and he is a nut and he has no ideal what he is talking about, however each reader must decide that for themselves. After reading this book once, the reader will understand and know more about Jesus and God, than they will by going to church every Sunday for 10 years.

"Strugglebook: A Logical Search for the Truth of GOD" explores the probability for the existence of God based primarily on the logic derived from science. While it addresses issues applicable to theology, it is not a theological work. There are literally hundreds of books on this subject, most detailing a standard set of arguments. This book follows that pattern for the first part but then extends itself into a series of coalescing arguments built on the latest science, all of which results in a unique presentation on the subject. Forming a conclusion respecting the reality of God on something as cold as logic is contrary to approaches generally considered acceptable to religious organizations that favor perhaps more ephemeral means based on redemption and faith. Those approaches based on other than logic have proven very successful for many individuals. That notwithstanding, the author is representative of that very large group of people who live in environments replete with corporate missions, budget building and spreadsheets, strength, weakness, opportunity and threat exercises, performance yields, compensation management, management by objective, measuring outcomes, and mini-MBA courses. The resulting objectivity built through vocation, results for many individuals, including the author, in a need to question the rationale behind faith and God. This book is the record of a search for the reality of God consistent with satisfying the needs dictated by the logic often demanded by the modern mind. Do world and personal events result in a questioning of your faith? Do you wonder about a God that could allow 9/11 or the deaths of tens of thousands in a cyclone? Have you watched as someone you love suffers, and as a result, questioned the very existence of God? Have the truths of modern science served to displace your belief in God? Does your working life consumed with spreadsheets, schedules, logical analysis, objectives, investment returns, getting the job done on time, and all the other appendages of working life impose an atmosphere that works against belief in God? Do you feel unsure about sharing your beliefs with others because you may be ridiculed? Have you been exposed to the views of Richard Dawkins through his book The God Delusion, or other well known atheists who attempt seemingly with some success to use science to prove God doesn't exist and in so doing, relegate your beliefs as unworthy? These questions and situations imposed themselves on the author of this book, an educator and computer application designer who decided to take a year out of his life and find the answers. This book chronicles his search for the truth of God. Calling on history and using the very latest scientific knowledge, coupled with related philosophy, and sometimes delivered somewhat irreverently, the book delves into the issues, presenting positive and dissenting views respecting the existence of God and then argues the case from the data presented. The reader shares the full rationale for decisions made.

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?

"John Tietjen's close account of the conflict within a Christian body moves with the skill, the drama, and the characterization of a novel. But there is no shred of fiction here. The author stood at the center of the conflict. His observations of the events (both broadly public and closeted in private) that altered the face-politic of Lutheranism in this country are absolutely accurate. Here is the selfish expression of faith, as well as the dangers of the right hand of power within churches. Here, too, is the sweetness of human community-even while individual people of faith must stand in their decisions ultimately alone. Tietjen has written a memoriam and a history and a jubilate and a confession. Excellent!" Walter Wangerin Jr. "John Tietjen tells the unpleasant story of crisis and conflict in the church. It is a story that needs to be told, and he tells it in a way that people will find both gripping and uplifting. This is his personal account, done with the precision and documentation of a professional historian, but his writing also produces a narration of many key events and a strikingly human portrayal of the people on both sides of the conflict. In John Tietjen's hands, this story of conflict and crisis brings us back to the God who produces order out of chaos and blessing out of the suffering of God's people." Jeanette H. Bauermeister John H. Tietjen, formerly president of Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, and Christ Seminary-Seminex, Saint Louis and Chicago, was pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church, Fort Worth, Texas.

Teaching the Bible Coming to terms with the interpretive revolution- "Although the field of biblical studies is bursting with new methods and fresh interpretations, there has been surprisingly little discussion of what these changes mean for the actual task of teaching the Bible. Happily, this volume takes significant first steps in addressing the shifts in classroom pedagogy that the new day in biblical studies urgently demands." Norman K. Gottwald Author of The Hebrew Bible: A Brief Socio-Literary Introduction "An absolutely indispensable compendium of resources for charting the changes in the discipline of biblical studies, for exposing the operations of power in past and present interpretations and uses of the Bible, and for discovering a variety of postmodernist and postcolonial pedagogies in the reading and teaching of the Bible in a radically pluralistic age." Abraham Smith Perkins School of Theology, S.M.U. "A superb collection of essays on a topic centrally important to theological education and biblical studies. It is an invaluable contribution to the new emancipatory paradigm emerging in biblical studies. Highly accessible, a must reading for anyone in the field." Elisabeth Schussler Fiorenza, Krister Stendahl Professor of Divinity Harvard University Divinity School "Teaching the Bible engages the problem and opportunity of theological education in the twenty-first century head on. In a tightly crafted series of provocative essays, the work clearly defines the postmodern, postcolonial, culturally enriched challenges facing the academy today. For any student or scholar who wants to engage the postmodern challenge as an innovative opportunity rather than a debilitating crisis, Teaching the Bible is required reading." Brian K. Blount President, Union Theological Seminary-PSCE Fernando F. Segovia is Oberlin Graduate Professor of New Testament and Early Christianity at the Vanderbilt University Divinity School. He is author, with Ada Maria Isasi-Diaz, of Hispanic Latino Theology: Challenge and Promise (Fortress Press, 1996). Mary Ann Tolbert is George H.

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.
