Pages : 233
Book Description
Asked where he got the ideas for his stories, Stephen King replied, "My mother would read me FATE magazine—which was about the paranormal, flying saucers, and all that stuff. …and I was fascinated." Now you can read The Best of FATE. UFOs and Close Encounters brings you the story of Unidentified Flying Objects through key reports—from the encounter that started it all in 1948 to 21st century sightings worldwide—selected from the magazine's over 700 issues. In this book, Kenneth Arnold, the pilot whose 1949 account launched the modern fascination with flying saucers, shares his story. James A. Harder, professor of engineering at the UC Berkely's metallurgical analysis of UFO remains, he says proves they are of extraterrestrial origin. Cambridge historian Harold T. Wilkins discusses findings from his survey of 1,000 years of UFO sightings. Utah State University professor Frank B. Salisbury, PhD, meditates on whether science alone is adequate to explain their existence. Renowned UFOlogist Jaques Vallee shares possible extradimensional, psychic or spiritual explanations. Geologist Robert M. Schoch, PhD, considers on a connection between UFOs and Lost Civilizations. Many others share authentic personal reports of UFOs seen around the world—and even beneath the seas! You will not find any final answers or solutions—they still don't yet exist, contrary to what some people might tell you. But you will find sensible, clear-headed perspectives on the greatest riddle of our time, as seen by those who know the most about it. And it's a good bet that when the solution is found, it will be due in no small part to the efforts of the individuals whose testimonies you'll find in these pages...and those of the most thought-provoking publication of all time—FATE magazine.

Surprised by the Power of the Spirit
Author: Zondervan,
Publisher: Zondervan Academic
ISBN: 0310873916
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 314
Book Description
What caused a former Dallas Seminary professor to believe that the miraculous gifts of the Holy Spirit are being given today? What convinced someone skeptical about miracles that God still speaks and heals? A dramatic change took place in Jack Deere’s life when he took a fresh look at the Scriptures. He discovered that his cherished arguments against miraculous gifts were based more on prejudice and a lack of personal experience than on the Bible. As soon as Deere became a seeker instead of a skeptic, the Holy Spirit revealed himself in new and surprising ways. In Surprised by the Power of the Spirit, Jack Deere provides a strong biblical defense for the Spirit’s speaking and healing ministries today. He also describes several reliable cases of people who were miraculously healed or who heard God speak in an unmistakable way. Finally, he gives sound advice for using spiritual gifts in the church. Written in popular style-with the care of a scholar but the passion of personal experience-this book is a vital resource for people on both sides of the debate about miraculous gifts.

Raising the Dead

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 133
Book Description
On October 20, 2006, a middle-aged auto mechanic, Jeff Markin, walked into the emergency room at the Palm BeachGardensHospital and collapsed from a massive heart attack. Forty minutes later he was declared dead. After filling out his final report, the supervising cardiologist, Dr. Chauncey Crandall, started out of the room. "Before I crossed its threshold, however, I sensed God was telling me to turn around and pray for the patient," Crandall explained. With that prayer and Dr. Crandall's instruction to give the man what seemed one more useless shock from the defibrillator, Jeff Markin came back to life--and remains alive and well today. But how did a Yale-educated cardiologist whose Palm Beach practice includes some of the most powerful people in American society, including several billionaires, come to believe in supernatural healing? The answers to these questions compose a story and a spiritual journey that transformed Chauncey Crandall.

Close Encounters with God
Author: Dr. Reginald O. Crosley
Publisher: Strategic Book Publishing & Rights Agency
ISBN: 163135289X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 395
Book Description
Close Encounters with God presents a study of multiple close encounters with Yahweh, the name of God in Hebrew Scripture. These encounters enable us to have a clearer portrayal of the self-revealed God, one who is different from the conceptualized deity envisioned through such means as transcendental meditation, vision quest, or mystical rapture. By rediscovering the true personality of the self-revealed God, we will be able to understand the great mysteries of the universe that have baffled mankind for millennia. Why do the blameless suffer? Why does evil persist in the world? Why do the wicked prosper? Must the chosen people suffer the destiny of martyrdom? And why should Yahweh remain the hidden God?

God's Forever Family
Author: Larry Eskridge
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 019931523X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 1494
Book Description
Winner of the 2014 Christianity Today Book of the Year First Place Winner of the Religion Newswriters Association's Non-fiction Religion Book of the Year The Jesus People movement was a unique combination of the hippie counterculture and evangelical Christianity. It first appeared in the famed "Summer of Love" of 1967, in San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury district, and spread like wildfire in Southern California and beyond, to cities like Seattle, Atlanta, and Milwaukee. In 1971 the growing movement found its way into the national media spotlight and gained momentum, attracting a huge new following among evangelical church youth, who enthusiastically adopted the Jesus People persona as their own. Within a few years, however, the movement disappeared and was largely forgotten by everyone but those who had filled its ranks. God's Forever Family argues that the Jesus People movement was one of the most important American religious movements of the second half of the 20th-century. Not only do such new and burgeoning evangelical groups as Calvary Chapel and the Vineyard trace back to the Jesus People, but the movement paved the way for the huge Contemporary Christian Music industry and the rise of "Praise Music" in the nation's churches. More significantly, it revolutionized evangelicals' relationship with youth and popular culture. Larry Eskridge makes the case that the Jesus People movement not only helped create a resurgent evangelicalism but must be considered one of the formative powers that shaped American youth in the late 1960s and 1970s.
