Book Description
The Pure Truth from God, answers the most profound question ever asked by humankind, "why should I believe in God when the Holy Bible chronologically dates the first man Adam, to be only about 6000-7000 years old?" Yet, scientists and archeologists have produced clear evidence that both humans and animals have existed on our earth for hundreds of thousands and even millions of years. It's a question I asked myself many, many times. Not one Christian or religious person could ever give me the answer, but God did! The words you will read are not mine, regrettably I am not capable. The words you will read are the words given to me by Almighty God. This is His book and I pray that the world will read it. More importantly, I pray that after reading it the world will fully understand and accept that God is the creator of all things and that Jesus Christ is the Messiah. We are all seekers after the truth. Most of us have asked, who am I or why am I here and more specifically, what is the reason for my being? This book will not only answer these questions, but much more and all from the word of Almighty God! The Pure Truth from God removes the shroud of misunderstanding that runs rampant in our Christain church today. Through the Holy Spirit, this book explains Christainity with such clarity that can only come from Him. So, if you know non-Christians then gift them this book, it hopefully and prayerfully might just save their spiritual life: Luke 12:16-20: And He spoke a parable to them saying The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully. And he thought within himself saying, what shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits? And he said, This I will do, I will pull down my barns and build greater, and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods. And I will say to my soul, Soul thou hast much goods laid up for many years, take thine ease, eat, drink and be merry. But God said to unto him Thou fool, THIS NIGHT thy soul shall be required of thee! Then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided"? A burglar never tells us beforehand what time he will break into our home, In the same way, none of us know when we shall die. So please don't gamble on the greatest gift given to humankind, the gift of eternal life. Accept the words of truth in this book and accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. Never did I want to be a Christian. My experience of "Christian" churchgoers was to witness people behaving wonderfully on Sundays, but abominably during the rest of the week! Although I never wanted to be a Christian, by God's grace and a miraculous series of events, I became one and this book is the reason for it. So, I pray that you will understand and accept these words of Truth without delay, because as our Lord states, none of us know when our soul shall be required of us.

Book Description
Imagine what our world might look like if Christians became known for remarkable love, as well as life-giving truth. The stakes are high and the need is great for Christians to represent Jesus to a watching world. And today, we have more influence than ever before--for better and for worse. We are among the first generations to have access to a global megaphone through social media. But it's not enough to speak truth louder to a noisy culture. To counter the reputation Christians have earned, our love must be just as loud. Ask evangelist Matt Brown, and he will tell you Christians today are facing a crisis of influence. In our rush to speak truth to today's tensions, cultural issues, and trending controversies, it becomes all too easy to focus on proving our points rather than extending God's grace. Conversely, when we seek only to love yet never proclaim a better way, we short-circuit God's plan. Truth Plus Love invites you to rediscover the biblical framework for engaging culture as ambassadors of Christ. Through biblical insight, cultural analysis, and practical principles, Matt Brown outlines how to champion truth without compromise, how to love unconditionally, and ultimately, how to step into this great adventure of representing God to the world. It's hard, it's messy, and it's the unfinished project of a lifetime, yet here we find our great adventure: representing God to a watching world.

Book Description
Western history would be unrecognizable had it not been for people who believed in One True God. There would have been wars, but no religious wars. There would have been moral codes, but no Commandments. Had the Jews been polytheists, they would today be only another barely remembered people, less important, but just as extinct as the Babylonians. Had Christians presented Jesus to the Greco-Roman world as ''another'' God, their faith would long since have gone the way of Mithraism. And surely Islam would never have made it out of the desert had Muhammad not removed Allah from the context of Arab paganism and proclaimed him as the only God. The three great monotheisms changed everything. With his customary clarity and vigor, Rodney Stark explains how and why monotheism has such immense power both to unite and to divide. Why and how did Jews, Christians, and Muslims missionize, and when and why did their efforts falter? Why did both Christianity and Islam suddenly become less tolerant of Jews late in the eleventh century, prompting outbursts of mass murder? Why were the Jewish massacres by Christians concentrated in the cities along the Rhine River, and why did the pogroms by Muslims take place mainly in Granada? How could the Jews persist so long as a minority faith, able to withstand intense pressures to convert? Why did they sometimes assimilate? In the final chapter, Stark also examines the American experience to show that it is possible for committed monotheists to sustain norms of civility toward one another. A sweeping social history of religion, One True God shows how the great monotheisms shaped the past and created the modern world.

Book Description
We live in a broken world. Amid the daily realities of sickness and isolation, disappointment and pain, it can be profoundly difficult to grasp the real goodness of God. But this is where God breaks into our darkness with beauty. In the wonder of creation, in art or film, story or song, in the kindness of his people and the good they create, God breaks into our pain in a tangible way, teaching us to trust his kindness and hope for his healing. Beauty is a voice singing into our suffering, beckoning us toward restoration. In This Beautiful Truth, Sarah Clarkson shares her own encounters with beauty in the midst of her decade-long struggle with mental illness, depression, and doubt. In a voice both vulnerable and reflective, she paints a compelling picture of the God who reaches out to us in a real and powerful way through the "taste and see" goodness of what he has made and what he continues to create amid our darkness. "To recognize and trust God's gift in pain," she writes, "empowers us to create and love as powerful witnesses to God's healing love in a hopeless world." If you want to renew your capacity to recognize and encounter God's beauty in your life, this hope-filled book will show you the way.
