Book Description
The message preached by Jesus of Nazareth, the Son of God, that the essence of the gospel is the deliverance of humanity from its perpetual self-destructive trend of warfare and the many sufferings that result from it. This book will also unveil that his message consisted of peaceful coexistence and toleration between people and nations. Evidence will also be provided to the reader to testify that the only proper manner for a Christian to conduct himself in the matter of war and military service is to refuse. The author, Daniel H. Shubin has written in the past a theology and a commentary on the Bible, compiled a 4-volume History of Russian Christianity, and books on philosophy and religion. Dan was a conscientious objector during the Vietnam War (as was his father during World War 2) and also acts as an advisor for military-age young men of his denomination. He has been married 41 years to wife AnnaMarie, and they have 3 adult offspring.

Book Description
This book will provide an insight into the message of peace, reconciliation and toleration that was preached by Jesus of Nazareth, the greatest teacher and prophet and leader that even walked the face of the earth. This book will also unveil how his gospel was transformed into a message of militarism, nationalism and intolerance, and how the Apostolic community was transformed into an ecclesiastical political institution identified as Christendom.In one respect, this volume is an apology of Christian pacifism. In another respect, it is a history of the development of militarist Christendom, including the manner events and persons of secular and ecclesiastical history were interwoven to create an institution possessing the facade of Jesus Christ, but denying the primary message of his gospel, and which has subjected itself to political control for some 1,700 years.

Book Description
The purpose of this compilation of dissertations is to provide the author’s interpretive theology of Sacred Scripture. This volume is called Developing a Cosmic Ideology Based on Holy Scripture because it is all encompassing, dealing with the topics of the realm of spirit and the realm of matter. The topics covered under the realm of spirit include the LORD (Yahweh) God and the invisible world of heaven; the realm of matter is the material created universe, including humanity, the earth, and all creation, its purpose and future. This volume will answer the question as to why there is something instead of nothing, and why there is creation, time, life, and infinity, all evolving from the concept that God is love.

Book Description
Once the Pentecostal peace witness extended throughout the movement and around the world-but was eventually muted and almost completely lost in the American Assemblies of God. This book, which is "gripping, powerful, and prophetic," says Amos Yong, tells the story of that shift. "The antiwar, Christian, pacifist sentiments of the Assemblies of God that Alexander describes . . . juxtaposed in close proximity to their pro-war and anti-pacifist passion and identification with America . . . is simply striking," comments J. Denny Weaver, in the C. Henry Smith Series Editor's Foreword. The implications, observes Cheryl Bridges Johns, Professor of Christian Formation and Discipleship, Church of God, "are worth examining by all traditions asking, 'Will our children have faith?' At the same time, mentions Harvey Cox, Hollis Professor of Religion, Harvard Divinity School, Alexander's narrative "suggests that Pentecostals may yet reclaim this invaluable element of their heritage."

Book Description
This volume is an analysis and new translation of Leo Tolstoy's most influential compositions. The initial sections of this book contain an Introduction, a Biography of Leo Tolstoy, and an Analysis of Tolstoy's Convictions, as understood by the writer and translator. The balance and bulk of this volume is a new translation of the entire text of Confession; selections from What do I Believe?, The Kingdom of God is within You, and The Christian Teaching; and the complete text of The Gospels in Brief. Included are 2 of Tolstoy's smaller compositions on love and belief, as well as his excommunication from the Russian Orthodox Church, and his response to the excommunication. Tolstoy, apart from being one of the worlds greatest writers, also deals with political, economic, sociological and domestic issues based on his understanding of the Gospel of Jesus Christ in his compositions, including an explanation of the concept of Christian pacifism.

Book Description
"As religious believers feel themselves more threatened by the modern world, they increasingly often turn to fundamentalism. The fundamentalist insists that engaging with contemporary culture ends in the watering down of Christianity to suit the passing whims of the age. Yet Gerard J. Hughes argues in Fidelity without Fundamentalism that in fact being a faithful Christian involves avoiding fundamentalism. Believers are sometimes encouraged to sweep under the carpet issues which it is thought they should be protected from for fear they might undermine their faith. The longer-term effect of this is not to preserve their faith, but to corrode it."--Publisher's description.

Book Description
Jake Colsen, an overworked and disillusioned pastor, happens into a stranger who bears an uncanny resemblance (in manner) to the apostle John. A number of encounters with John as well as a family crisis lead Jake to a new understanding of what his life should be like: one filled with faith bolstered by a steady, close relationship with the God of the universe. Facing his own disappointment with Christianity, Jake must forsake the habits that have made his faith rote and rediscover the love that captured his heart when he first believed. Compelling and intensely personal, So You Don't Want to Go to Church Anything relates a man's rebirth from performance-based Christianity to a loving friendship with Christ that affects all he does, thinks, and says. As John tells Jake, "There is nothing the Father desires for you more than that you fall squarely in the lap of his love and never move from that place for the rest of your life."

Book Description
How should Christians respond to war? This age-old question has become more pressing given Western governments' recent overseas military interventions and the rise of extremist Islamist jihadism. Grounded in conservative evangelical theology, this book argues the historic church position that it is inadmissible for Christians to use violence or take part in war. It shows how the church's propensity to support the "just wars," crusades, rebellions, or "humanitarian interventions" of its host nations over time has been disastrous for the reputation of the gospel. Instead, the church's response to war is simply to be the church, by preaching the gospel and making peace in the love and power of God. The book considers challenges to this argument for "gospel peace." What about warfare in the Old Testament and military metaphors in the New? What of church history? And how do we deal with tyrants like Hitler and terrorists like Islamic State? Charting a path between just war theory and liberal pacifism, numerous inspiring examples from the worldwide church are used to demonstrate effective and authentically Christian responses to violence. The author argues that as Christians increasingly drop their unbiblical addiction to war, we may be entering one of the most exciting periods of church history.
