Book Description
This is the shocking truth: Jesus was a zealot who wanted to be King of Israel. The apostles and disciples were members of his family, by blood and by marriage, and they went on to wage a war against Rome. Far from converting, Saul, the false apostle, remained malicious and vindictive to the end. Saul invented Christianity, borrowing the rituals of a pagan religion, Mithraism. The gospels are a deliberately scrambled version of Jewish zealot propaganda with characters, who were Jewish warriors, stolen and subverted by Christian writers.

Book Description
Examining How Saul the Murderer Became Paul the Martyr Author Combines Bible, Historical Fact, and Fiction to Craft a Scenario of How the World's First Terrorist Became One of the World's Greatest Christians The man who was once the greatest intentional murderer of Christians, "the first terrorist," was so completely changed by God that he became one of the greatest Christians of all time, eventually becoming a martyr for his faith in Jesus Christ. That man, the Apostle Paul, is the subject of author Jack Minter's new book, Saul of Tarsus: The First Terrorist. "I believe readers will find this a book of intrigue," said Minter. "I've blended biblical text and historical data, as well as fictional scenarios, to provide readers with a map of how Saul became the Apostle Paul, one who spread the gospel of Jesus Christ at the risk of his own life following Jesus's crucifixion." Saul of Taurus: The First Terrorist also shows the similarities and differences between Jesus and Saul that could have led to Saul's murderous vengeance of early Christians. "When writing about Paul, I wondered how he could be that forgiven of such atrocities by God, much less be that changed as a person to abandon his hatred and become a follower of Jesus Christ," said Minter.Saul of Tarsus: The First Terrorist is a study in contrasts and a thought-provoking novel that will have readers diving into the Bible with a new perspective. Today's world is still filled with terrorists who persecute Christians for their faith or due to intolerance of their beliefs. Saul took the lead as the first terrorist, but he was also so completely changed by Jesus that, as Paul, he became one of the most powerful Christians of all time.Minter also takes a look at a fictional account of how Jesus and Paul could have potentially known one another long before they met as adults on the Road to Damascus.According to Minter, this possibility opens a new way of understanding how Paul grew to become one who despised and murdered Christians out of pure hatred and vengeance. "If you examine Paul's upbringing in the Jewish faith, as well as Jesus's, you see that it's quite possible that their paths crossed well before that eventful day on the Road to Damascus when Paul encountered Jesus and turned from the greatest hater of Christians into a Christian himself."For more information and to purchase Saul of Tarsus: The First Terrorist, please visit www.JackMinter.com.

Book Description
What does the most infamous criminal proceeding in history--the trial of Jesus of Nazareth--have to tell us about capital punishment in the United States? Jesus Christ was a prisoner on death row. If that statement surprises you, consider this fact: of all the roles that Jesus played--preacher, teacher, healer, mentor, friend--none features as prominently in the gospels as this one, a criminal indicted and convicted of a capital offense. Now consider another fact: the arrest, trial, and execution of Jesus bear remarkable similarities to the American criminal justice system, especially in capital cases. From the use of paid informants to the conflicting testimony of witnesses to the denial of clemency, the elements in the story of Jesus' trial mirror the most common components in capital cases today. Finally, consider a question: How might we see capital punishment in this country differently if we realized that the system used to condemn the Son of God to death so closely resembles the system we use in capital cases today? Should the experience of Jesus' trial, conviction, and execution give us pause as we take similar steps to place individuals on death row today? These are the questions posed by this surprising, challenging, and enlightening book

Book Description
September 11, 2001 saw the deadliest attack ever launched on American soil, leaving us asking questions such as: Why did God permit such a thing to happen? Was the attack a divine judgment or was it merely an atrocity perpetrated by the forces of evil? How can human beings be capable of such diabolical savagery in the name of religion? And what is the right course of action for our government to take? John MacArthur points us to the Bible for answers to these and many other questions arising out the recent atrocities. He educates readers to the roots of the conflict, linking the religious and political issues that underlie the current turmoil to the Old Testament.

Book Description
How should Christians respond to terrorism and terrorists in their midst? Terrorism is a global problem, and no society on earth faces it alone. The mainly Christian society of Kenya has suffered more than most as it attempts to counter the threat of al-Shabaab. Some pastors have asked for permission to carry guns. Many Christians support government military action, while others recommend pacifist stances, and strive for dialogue and reconciliation with the Muslim community. In this book, ten Kenyan Christian thinkers and practitioners share their experiences and insights. A response section from seven others, including a Kenyan Muslim scholar, enrich the discussion.

Book Description
"...so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground..." If you could view this world through the eyes of God Himself, how much more might you understand? How much wiser would you be? If you could know God's heart, how might your heart be changed? We are living through one of the most tragic events in world history. September 11 will forever stand as a new benchmark for evil in this world. At the first year anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon, Dwight Vilhauer offers an insightful and reflective look at these tragic events, in his new book, TERROR to TRIUMPH; A Christian Perspective On 9-11. The events of September 11 have raised anew those challenging questions dealing with the problem of evil in the world. How can it coexist with God's love? As the author points out, "We continue to struggle with the problem of evil because it repeatedly challenges trust in our Creator as a God of love. September 11 is the latest, and perhaps one of the most profound examples of how evil can shake our faith to its core. We need to hear God's voice now more than ever, for strength and healing. At this turbulent and spiritually challenging point in time, when our ears have been filled with evil's threatening voice and news of terror reverberates unceasingly from every corner of the media, God still speaks. If we take time to listen to His voice, amidst all the noise and confusion, we will find solid foundational answers to our many questions." In TERROR to TRIUMPH, Dwight Vilhauer leads you back to God's comforting voice where peace and rest are found. Discover how God works in a multitude of ways, through evil's great onslaught, to guide us, protect us, and lead us to ultimate victorywhenever the day of evil comes. TERROR to TRIUMPH is built upon eight insights that provide a basis for exploring how God works through the evil in this world to accomplish greater ends. Historical events from the Bible, and the teachings of our Savior Jesus Christ, are employed as launching points to explain how God's past victories over evil have direct application to victories that can be realized today. However, the book is not just about September 11. As the author observes, "It's really about how to deal with tragedy whenever the day of evil comes, and in whatever way it enters a person's life. My goal was to help people view the world through the eyes of God Himself and to become one with Him in understanding and purpose. I believe that is how the greatest victory over evil is realized." From this vantage point, the reader is able to view issues of good vs. evil from a unique and spiritually edifying perspective. The result is an extremely refreshing and spiritually uplifting experience.
