A Message for Our Time
Author: Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad
Publisher: Islam International Publications Ltd
ISBN: 1848803257
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 97
Book Description
The western world is seeing a rise in intolerance, hate, and violence. The media exacerbates this by painting inaccurate pictures of immigrants, minorities, and of Islam and Muslims in particular. Consequently, there is a pressing need for clarifying what Islam is and is not, so as to foster mutual brotherhood amongst people of all beliefs. In four speeches delivered during a tour of the United States and Guatemala, His Holiness Mirza Masroor Ahmad, head of the worldwide Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, offers a formula for achieving peace in our communities, nations, and indeed throughout the world. His Holiness explains that the true purpose of mosques is to be a center of peace where Muslims join together in order to worship God Almighty and to serve humanity, irrespective of belief or background. Furthermore, the building of hospitals enables the service of mankind which itself becomes a form of worship. This cumulative spirit is the way to protect our future and enable us to leave behind a better world for our children.

A Message for Our Times
Author: William Doyle
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 149188777X
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 123
Book Description
In this message, the author draws on his life-long ministerial experience to convey the realities of where we are on our journey through this life to where it is we are going. The book reflects the treasure of shared knowledge and reveals what the author terms the unconscious unreality, which draws people away from the conscious realities that would otherwise enrich their lives. It is directed to all Gods people, both Christians and non-Christians. These spiritual messages come at a time when the world is set on a course that is causing much consternation and answers many perplexing problems facing individuals. The author takes church leaders to task for allowing much of what is changing the face of a civil society. This book is not for idle curiosity. Each chapter is at times sad, at times joyful, and at times soul-searching. There is strong emphasis on the lure of easy borrowing and sensationalism, one of the plagues of modern times that mask the face of lasting values, diminishing the hunger for the spiritual life, and depleting the soul of contentment. This book offers a clear and unshakeable understanding of the truth of God and clarifies scriptural text about the end timesit speaks about you.

Author: Daniel Caram
Publisher: Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.
ISBN: 1635258383
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 142
Book Description
In his Olivet Discourse, Jesus forewarns of certain events that would close out the church age: natural cataclysms, wars, civil strife, and perplexing problems. However, the most serious warning concerns deception. This warning is not to the world, but to the church. Jesus described this as so serious that if it were possible even those written in the book of life might be deceived. Even now, there are many distorted sounds coming forth from the pulpit, and it is with this concern that we set forth this manuscript. It is our earnest desire to impart some valid keys of discernment and hopefully save many from eternal ruin.

Enchantingly portraying "the sheer power of Socrates's mind, and its unique combination of steel, subtlety, and frivolity," Paul Johnson captures the vast and intriguing life of a man who did nothing less than supply the basic apparatus of the human mind.
