What would you do if you showed up for a job interview and your prospective employer claimed to be Satan? He wanted to dispute many aspects of the bible and have me write his Gospel. Three of his assertions were that he is Yahweh's twin brother, there many inaccurate statements in the bible, and Jesus is not divine. He asserts that it was he who paved the way for Saint Peter to found the Roman Catholic Church. It becomes clear that Satan's objective is to launch an all out assault on the Christian church and take a shot at Islam in the process. The Gospel According to Satan is clearly a part of his scheme, but his precise expectations are not clear. Is he trying to promote the unpardonable sin? Is his Gospel a ruse to cover the introduction of the antichrist? The most important issue for me is how do I ecape from my relationship with my soul intact? I am a writer and a nominal Christian. I had fallen into my own great economic depression. Eviction from my apartment and the ultimate humiliation of returning home as a failure were on the horizon and closing fast. The interview involved the ride of my life and a flurry of questions regarding my knowledge about religion, the bible, Yahweh, and his Son. I rolled the dice and took the job. As a result of my employment I met seven Satan lovers whose singular goal was to diminish his influence on earth and a beautiful 2000 year old African woman who became the mother of my son. I was also given an "overview" of hell. My name is Rodney Sloan and this is my story.

Title: The Cruise Author: Duane Brown Four ex-Marines and their spouses went to Vietnam renew fading memories of comrades in arms and romances and battles won and lost. On the last leg of their trip to the United States aboard the English cruise ship Royalty danger and opportunity present themselves. Four terrorists have placed an atomic bomb on the ship. It is destined for the infidels in New York City and is set to explode when the ship docks. The terrorists carry five million dollars that was to be used to pay for the bomb, but the terrorist kept the money and killed the people who sold it to them. The Marines decide to steal the five million dollars first and worry about the bomb later. The Vietnam Eight (V8) includes an alcoholic spouse, a couple whose marriage is on the rocks, a spouse who is bored with her humdrum life, and a couple whose unlikely union has blossomed into a lifetime love affair. The others include a card counting colonel and an ex F-14 pilot who is concerned but unable to help his wife stop her skid into a bottle. A careful drawn plot by the Marines to steal the money goes awry, but a stroke of luck delivers the money into their hands after the ship's captain learns that an atomic bomb in the cargo hold is on a countdown to disaster. After he alerts American officials about the bomb, he is ordered by the President of the United States to stop before he enters U. S. waters. The terrorists, who have arranged to leave the ship when it comes into helicopter range are jolted into action when the captain slows ship's progress toward the U. S., a step that makes it imposible to reach their pick up point in time. They overpower the ship's crew and, with a gun that they will surely use pointed at the first officer's head if the captain does not follow orders, the ship's speed is increased. The commander of a nuclear sub assigned to enforce the President's order comes up with an ingenious plan and disables the Royalty without destroying it. Progress toward the U. S. mainland is halted, but the terrorists have fled, taking a member of the V8 (Ellie) with them as a hostage. The terrorists are gone, but the countdown to a nuclear explosion continues that will take the lives of more than four thousand passsengers and crew members continues. An attempt to bring a bomb squad from the mainland fails, leaving disarming the bomb to the ex-Marines on the ship. Gunny, a retired gunnery sergeant, develops a plan and the race to avoid a nuclear explosion begins. Gunny fabricates and inserts a safing device that should neutralize the nuclear portion of the bomb. However, the explosives that were to initiate the nuclear reaction remain a threat. With minutes to spare the bomb is dropped overboard. The explosives that were in place to activate the nuclear blast sends a plume of water rising into the air a few feet from the disabled Royalty. Gunny and the crew on the Royalty wait anxiously for the nuclear blast that will sink the ship and kill everyone on board. It doesn't come. There is still work to be done. Ellie must be rescued, the terrorists brought to justice, and the problem of smuggling $5 million dollars into the U. S. addressed. The NYPD provides an unwitting assist with some of the money and a clever woman's "dirty little plan" speeds the rest through customs. Ellie is rescued, the money gets through customs, and lives and attitudes change.

Dr. Brown's book defines the subject of apostasy and identifies what "The Apostasy" means in 2 Thessalonians 2:3 since the Apostle Paul did not. A key statement, "No doubt the Apostasy sets up the coming of the antichrist" sums up the relationship between them. Designed to make the complexity of the last days easier to understand and not to create questionable theories and new problems to face, it is hoped that fresh appreciation for God's Word and His promises will encourage believers. He will show how "lawlessness" is a key word. Questions which he endeavors to answer: - Does "The Apostasy" mean the Rapture as many Bible teachers hold? - Can true Christians really apostatize? - Will Jesus Christ return to rapture His church before or after "The Apostasy" occurs? - What is the relationship between The Apostasy and the Man of Sin? - Do demons have any part in The Apostasy? "The Apostasy by Dr. Duane Brown is an intense study of the end times with a particular emphasis, as the title indicates, on the apostasy that is so much a part of this period. The author references an array of insights from Bible commentators through the years, looks at the relevant texts of Scripture in light of the original Greek context, syntax, and lexicology, and makes regular application of the data to the world scene past, present and future. The Apostasy is a good read, helpful academically as well as spiritually." Dr. David Reinhardt (Pastor and Greek scholar), Danbury, Connecticut

Many books have been written to set forth the Biblical truths commonly believed by Baptists. Many of these teachings are shared by other believers, but some are distinctive in that only Baptists have been willing to support them solely on Biblical authority. Biblical Authority - Autonomy of the Local Church - Priesthood of All Believers - Two Ordinances - Individual Soul Liberty - Saved Church Membership - Two Officers - Separation of Church and State Drs. L. Duane Brown and his son, Daniel, have teamed up to expand the previous edition of Biblical Basis for Baptists that sold more than 65,000 copies. Both men are well qualified, based on their own individual ministries, to author this practical, doctrinal presentation. Chapters have been added for leadership to establish or evaluate their church missions program, especially on their indigenous policy. A special highlight is a message presented by Dr. Duane Brown on how Baptists brought religious freedom to America. Since this book is based on Scriptural principles, individuals and teaching organisms (Sunday school classes, youth and college groups, membership classes, home school parents, Christian schools, or schools of higher learning, etc.) will find it to be trustworthy.
