Book Description
“If there were a Guinness Book of World Records entry for ‘amount of times having prayed the sinner’s prayer,’ I’m pretty sure I’d be a top contender,” says pastor and author J. D. Greear. He struggled for many years to gain an assurance of salvation and eventually learned he was not alone. “Lack of assurance” is epidemic among evangelical Christians. In Stop Asking Jesus Into Your Heart, J. D. shows that faulty ways of present- ing the gospel are a leading source of the confusion. Our presentations may not be heretical, but they are sometimes misleading. The idea of “asking Jesus into your heart” or “giving your life to Jesus” often gives false assurance to those who are not saved—and keeps those who genuinely are saved from fully embracing that reality. Greear unpacks the doctrine of assurance, showing that salvation is a posture we take to the promise of God in Christ, a posture that begins at a certain point and is maintained for the rest of our lives. He also answers the tough questions about assurance: What exactly is faith? What is repentance? Why are there so many warnings that seem to imply we can lose our salvation? Such issues are handled with respect to the theological rigors they require, but Greear never loses his pastoral sensitivity or a communication technique that makes this message teachable to a wide audience from teens to adults.

Book Description
Jesus teaches that regardless of one's profession, if one does not demonstrate a changed life produced by God, one will not enter into heaven. Such a judgment will be made when Jesus returns and judges every person according to his or her "works." While this may seem contradictory to some more well-known passages ruling out the role of works in salvation (e.g., Rom 3:21-4:25; Gal 2:16-21; Eph 2:8-9), there is every good reason to understand that Jesus' teachings complement such passages. The works that admit one into heaven are not works produced by the flesh before conversion but works produced by God after conversion. They will fundamentally be characterized by a life of discipleship, love for others, and endurance in faith and obedience, and will therefore serve to confirm that one indeed did have a relationship with God during one's life.

Book Description
The book traces the role of Judaism and the Jewish people in God's plan for the salvation of mankind, from Abraham through the Second Coming, as revealed by the Catholic faith and by a thoughtful examination of history. It will give Christians a deeper understanding of Judaism, both as a religion in itself and as a central component of Christian salvation. To Jews it reveals the incomprehensible importance, nobility and glory that Judaism most truly has. It examines the unique and central role Judaism plays in the destiny of the world. It documents that throughout history attacks on Jews and Judaism have been rooted not in Christianity, but in the most anti-Christian of forces. Areas addressed include: the Messianic prophecies in Jewish scripture; the anti-Christian roots of Nazi anti-Semitism; the links between Nazism and Arab anti-Semitism; the theological insights of major Jewish converts; and the role of the Jews in the Second Coming. "Perplexed by controversies new and old about the destiny of the Jewish people? Read this book by a Jew who became a Catholic for a well-written, provocative, ground-breaking account. Some of the answers most have never heard before." Ronda Chervin, Ph.D., Hebrew-Catholic

Book Description
This is perhaps the first book detailing the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ on many key aspects of the gospel of salvation and the kingdom of the God, which had/have been concealed and not revealed as CORNERSTONE teachings of the gospel of salvation. The greatest consequence of this is the total contamination of the gospel of salvation while the true gospel or treasure has been hidden for centuries. The author has been discipled and led to write this book in the face of the full contamination of the gospel of salvation and the kingdom of the God, in order that believers may be revealed the true treasure so that they are able to understand the true gospel as taught by the Lord Jesus Christ. the Saviour of the world, when He was on the earth the first time. Only when believers understand and obey the truth of the gospel will they be set free from slavery to the sin. And only when those believers who are set free from slavery to the sin can they become sons of the God. And only sons of the God can remain in the kingdom of the God forever, meaning only sons of the God can receive everlasting life. The Lord Jesus Christ is the Road and the Truth and the Life. The Truth is the Word of the God. And in the New Testament days the main truth is the gospel of salvation. Therefore unless believers know(meaning understand) the truth concerning the gospel of salvation, how can they obey the truth of the gospel to receive everlasting life? And especially in the last days, unless believers know the truth of the gospel, how can they identify and reject false prophets, false teachers and false preachers who spread false gospel to lead them astray into everlasting fire? In view of the many different variations of translation and interpretation of the teachings of Paul, Peter, John and James regarding the gospel of salvation, it is imperative for believers to know and understand the CORNERSTONE teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ on the gospel of salvation and the kingdom of the God. There is a plethora of writings by "Christian authors and theologians and teachers" on the teachings of Paul on the gospel of salvation relating to the law and works and love and faith and obedience and perfection, etc. Many preachers and teachers of the Word of the God were/are confused themselves over such important issues. For believers to know the correct interpretation and translation of the teachings of the apostles and prophets on the gospel of salvation and the kingdom of the God, believers must know and understand the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ on the gospel of salvation and the kingdom of the God. The main topics taught by the Lord Jesus Christ as revealed in this Book are: -a) Everlasting life, b) Righteous & Righteousness, c) Kingdom of the heaven and kingdom of the God, d) Save/Saved, e) Salvation, f) Resurrections, g) Live/lived, h) Die or perish forever, i) Soul - lose, gain or save, j) Judgement based on works, k) The gospel of salvation.Readers are urged to test the content in this Book against the Unadulterated Word of the God(the original texts of the Holy Bible) to prove and/or to disprove its veracity.

Book Description
My purpose in this series of meditations is to consider His teaching on some of the great themes of supreme interest to men, and I propose to do that in the simplest way possible. Let it be understood that we start on the assumption that the New Testament view of the Person of Christ is to be accepted as true. I am not proposing a study of the words of Jesus, in order to lead to Christ. I rather desire to lead those who have already found Christ to a study of His words. In this, our first meditation, I propose to examine the claims which Christ made as to His own teaching. I take up the writings of other men, all of them valuable in greater or less degree-and it is always interesting to notice a man's estimate of the value of the things he says himself-and this I have observed; that the greatest human teachers have always been reticent as to the ultimate authority of their teaching. They have always admitted that there is room for interpretation, for question, for further investigation. That note is entirely absent from the teaching of Christ. There is no apology. He never said, It is natural therefore to suppose; It may probably be; or Consult the authorities.

Book Description
In this transformative resource for youth workers, children's ministry teachers, parents, and VBS volunteers, Jack Klumpenhower teaches how to discover the gospel connections in every Bible story. Show Them Jesus is an instruction manual for teachers of kids and teens written by a lay Bible teacher with thirty years of experience. With a simple framework and real-life examples, Jack helps teachers identify and communicate the heart of the gospel to each child in each lesson. Show Them Jesus challenges the culture of low-stakes, low-expectations teaching and invites teachers to do nothing less than teach and treasure the good news of Jesus—in every lesson. Instead of leaving kids with lessons about changing their behavior, Show Them Jesus offers a new way by sweetly, masterfully, and powerfully showing kids how the gospel really applies to their lives and changes them for eternity. In sharing example after example from his years of experience, Jack provides readers with a more enriched view of Jesus and how to teach this gospel perspective in a classroom setting. This life-changing tool will complement and enrich existing lessons or teaching materials, and it's appropriate for teachers of children and teens in any setting. Millions of church kids are growing up and deciding to leave the church. If we are not primarily teaching our kids about God's love for us in Christ, we may miss our opportunity to capture their hearts. Don't miss your opportunity to show them Jesus.
