Book Description
The first book to examine the controversial Qur'anic phrase which divides Christianity and Islam. According to the majority of modern Muslims and Christians, the Qur'an denies the crucifixion of Jesus, and with it, one of the most sacred beliefs of Christianity. However, it is only mentioned in one verse - 'They did not kill him and they did not crucify him, rather, it only appeared so to them' - and contrary to popular belief, its translation has been the subject of fierce debate among Muslims for centuries. This innovative work is the first book devoted to the issue, delving deeply into largely ignored Arabic sources, which suggest that the origins of the conventional translation may lie within the Christian Church. Arranged along historical lines, and covering various Muslim schools of thought, from Sunni to Sufi, "The Crucifixion and the Qur'an" unravels the crucial dispute that separates the World's two principal faiths.

Book Description
Examine for yourself the historical context of your Christian faith as seen through first-century eyes, so you can clearly say with Paul, "May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ" (Galatians 6:14).

Book Description
In any event, if there is any division between a Muslim and a Christian on the grounds of dogma, belief, ethics or morality, then the cause of such conflict could be traced to an utterance of Paul found in his books of Corinthians, Phillipians, Galatians, Thessolanians, etc., in the Bible. As against the teaching of the Master (Jesus) that salvation only comes through keeping of the commandments (Mathew 19:16-17), Paul nails the law and the commandments to the cross (Colossians 2:14) and claims that salvation can only be obtained through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ:- "If Christ be not risen from the dead, then our preaching is vain, and your faith is also vain." (1 Corinthians 15:14)

Book Description
Discover what it means to pick up your cross and follow Jesus. The Crucified Life small group Christian study is designed to reflect upon the Seven Last Words of Christ from the cross and what they mean for us today. Walk the road of Calvary with Jesus in order to grow closer to Him. The Crucified Life small group study examines human suffering as it is mirrored in Christ's suffering on the cross and what His seven last words say to a hurting world. Find out incredible insights into these words as Jesus teaches us, even in death, how we can use our suffering and triumph over it for His glory. This study explores: Why do we go through suffering and how should we respond to it? What does the Lord's Prayer teach about unforgiveness? Is shame a good thing or a bad thing? How can we crucify the desires of the flesh? What does the cross of Jesus Christ teach us about our purpose in life? The Crucified Life is a transformative preparation for Lent or can be used any time of year. It is a study that not only speaks to the individual heart but deepens community relationships as well.

Book Description
This book was written with the intentions of finding a common ground for readers and nonreaders through a series of stories that allows for a multitude of emotions including pain, sadness, love and euphoria to come to the surface. It challenges the reader to succumb to the honesty of certain aspects of their daily lives that many of us often become too numb to speak about. As inspiration stems from a hopeless situation, these unspoken words turn into stories that grasp our ears, hearts and attention, giving way to a new found understanding behind what was previously a misunderstood form of action. Whoever so dare speak these words would be crucified by those closes to them, hence the title Crucified for 33 thoughts. A heart-felt and compelling read that creates a canvas for imagination and honesty to blend and form each one of these spoken word poems. The realism of each poem will take readers on a journey they will not soon forget. To get a better understanding of the author’s point of view, selective poems are available in visual format at www.YouTube.com/JaxPoetry

Book Description
For at least a century, at special three-hour services on Good Friday, it has been the custom in many churches to reflect on the Seven Last Words of Jesus from the Cross. In this tradition, Fleming Rutledge here presents seven eloquent meditations on these final sayings of Jesus. Rutledge links the sayings from the cross with contemporary events and concerns, but also incorporates recent biblical scholarship and modern questions about the death of Christ, particularly in light of Mel Gibson's film The Passion of the Christ. Rutledge shows how each word or saying from the Cross affords an opportunity for readers to gain a deeper understanding of the horrific death suffered by Jesus. Intending for this book to lead readers into a genuine devotional experience, Rutledge has made every effort to evoke and preserve the contemplative atmosphere of the three-hour Good Friday memorial. The book includes frequent references to hymns associated with this special day, and each meditation ends with an appropriate hymn text for personal prayer and reflection.
