Book Description
It might surprise many people to learn that the USA is, in its grass roots, just as fundamentalist a nation as is any Islamic republic. Passionate religious fervor drives at least forty percent of the electorate and through it, faith is striving to push back hard-won freedoms on every front. Belief is working to defeat or contain advances in so many areas, including scientific research and medicine. What if, in this blinkered horse-race, the reins were lost and in the future, through one blunder after another, the USA became even more deeply invested in fundamentalism? It's already on the way of late. When blind and power-hungry people adorn themselves with the raiment of gods, it's ordinary, everyday people whose lives become Hell. This is the story of someone, in the not-too-distant future, who fought that good fight.

Book Description
Genesis is a book of beginnings. It introduces us to several biblical themes, including God's authorship of life. In a world that blames the Creator for disasters and credits luck or karma for life's blessings, God's people need reminding that he is crafting a wondrous story of redemption and grace. Within Genesis, we are called to play the part of faithful children so that we might overcome this world and inherit the one to come. In God's story, we discover how to live out our own. The Epic of God will guide you passage-by-passage through the book of Genesis in hopes of deepening your trust in the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. -- cover of book

Book Description
God Calling provides groundbreaking and provocative insights into how God works in the world through the gift of his Holy Spirit. In the NT we do not find the saints praying and constantly asking God what to do; instead, the Spirit continuously leads and guides, giving Spiritual Direction for People in the Real World--people just like you! Looking at the biblical record as a whole, God Calling delivers a paradigm shift for our understanding the indwelling Spirit's impact on Christians' decision-making, prayer life, spiritual practices, and knowing God's will. Bringing spiritual warfare down to the real world, God Calling helps us correct some of our hyper-spiritual practices, while giving clear spiritual direction to enable followers of Jesus living in the real world to be wise, mature, and Christ-like, and for his church to be robust, proactive, and confident.

Book Description
Howard Frankl's God, Sex, Drugs and Other Things begins with three essays on subjects found in the title: one essay on drugs, one on sex and one on God. The "Other Things" turn out to be Money and Murder, and there is an essay on each of these topics. The book comes to a close with a short epilogue on the reality that holds the whole work together, call it compassion, call it universal salvation, or just call it Love. Writer Ernesto Cardenal calls this "a bold book ... In it are things writers don’t dare say. Only God. And he has said them in the Bible. But since we read the Bible so often, those things don’t shock us. They shock us when someone says the same things in a new way. This is an orthodox book, but to some it will not seem so, because it presents the dogmas with a freshness and originality we’re not used to."

Book Description
The Kingdom of Light and of God is the Kingdom where God the Father rules with His Son and His Holy Spirit. In the Kingdom of Light and of God, you get God's people, angels, archangels, cherubim and seraphim, and all beings who are subject to God and are under His Command. God is Light, and in Him is no darkness at all; this is why His Kingdom is the Kingdom of Light, as opposed to the kingdom of darkness which is satan's. The Kingdom of God is not all about the Kingdom of Heaven. The Kingdom of Light and of God refers to God's Authority and Rulership throughout the entire universe - and this includes the universe of Heaven, though Heaven itself is not a physical plane but a spiritual plane.

Book Description
Just like all schools are not the same, all youth groups are not the same. But how can parents know that their kids are going to a good, Biblical youth ministry? And what makes a group ""Biblical""? In "Playing Games with God," Sam Magdalein lays out a simple framework that parents can use when searching for and examining a youth group for their teens. But what about modern youth ministries? Parents may have a feeling that something is wrong in these churches, but can't quite put their finger on the problem. Sam includes a thorough examination of the foundations, philosophies, drivers, and everyday practices of modern youth groups. Using numerous quotes from youth ministry seminary textbooks, lessons plans from youth ministry conferences, ministry resource books, and articles, you'll read in their own words what modern churches are actually doing with our kids.

Book Description
When God formed Adam, He had great plans for him, and He also put him in good and comfortable place and conditions. God also gave him a helper comparable to him (a help meet for him) - Eve. God gave man a position that angels did not occupy. However, the man, being persuaded by his wife, disobeyed God when he ate the forbidden fruit. And he lost the position that God had given him. When God looked and saw that the earth was very wicked and corrupt, He regretted that He had made man; for He saw that the wickedness of man was great on earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. God decided to destroy man from the face of the earth. However Noah found favour before God; and God saved him and his family.
