Once Saved, Always Saved?
Author: David Pawson
Publisher: Anchor
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 189
Book Description
The majority Evangelical view is that once someone has accepted Christ as Saviour they are guaranteed salvation. But is it safe to assume that once we are saved, we are saved for always? David Pawson investigates this through biblical evidence, historical figures such as Augustine, Luther and Wesley, and evangelical assumptions about grace and justification, divine sovereignty and human responsibility. He asks whether something more than being born again is required so that our inheritance is not lost. This book helps us decide whether ‘once saved, always saved’ is real assurance or a misleading assumption. The answer will have profound effects on the way we live and disciple others.

Jesus, the Only Way to God
Author: John Piper

ISBN: 1441211977

Languages : en
Pages : 128
Book Description
If the evangelical church at large was ever too confrontational in its evangelism, those days are gone. In our shrinking, pluralistic world, the belief that Jesus is the only way of salvation is increasingly called arrogant and even hateful. In the face of this criticism, many shrink back from affirming the global necessity of knowing and believing in Jesus. In Jesus, the Only Way to God, John Piper offers a timely plea for the evangelical church to consider what is at stake in surrendering the unique, universal place of Jesus in salvation.

How I Saved the World
Author: Jesse Watters
Publisher: HarperCollins
ISBN: 0063049147
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 335
Book Description
The conservative political commentator shares his story—and his outlook on America’s future—in this #1 New York Times bestseller. In How I Saved the World, Jesse Watters takes readers on a tour of his life from basement-dwelling Fox minion to pampered champion of right-thinking Americans. He has divined great truths about the nature of our country while stumbling across beaches asking oblivious college students basic political questions and while stumbling out of Air Force One with the President. Interspersed are his thoughtful suggestions for overcoming left-wing radicalism, maintaining American democracy, moving beyond aging hippies (like his long-suffering, loving parents), saving the world from social justice warriors and the deep state—all while smirking his way through life in only the nicest way. Watters outlines the stark choice ahead of us between all-American hamburgers and leftist Green New Deal breadlines (okay, maybe that one is a no-brainer) and shows the way for order and fairness to be restored. A manifesto and a call-to-arms from a man for all seasons, How I Saved the World is a hilarious, enlightening, entertaining book with a reasonable chance of winning a Nobel Prize in every category, even chemistry.

The Sinner's Prayer - Fact Or Fiction? - How to Get Saved the Bible Way
Author: Andrew Strom
Publisher: The-Revolution.Net
ISBN: 9780983186618
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 124
Book Description
For more than 60 years the Christian church has gone around the world telling people to "pray this little prayer after me" in order to be 'saved' or converted. Some call it "Asking Jesus into your heart" or 'Giving your heart to the Lord, ' or praying the "Sinner's prayer." But would it surprise you to learn that such a thing is found NOWHERE in the entire Bible? Is there ever a time when an apostle or evangelist in the New Testament leads someone in such a "salvation prayer" - or anything like it? No - never. We have records of literally THOUSANDS of people becoming converted in the Bible, yet NOT ONCE does anyone employ such a method. The "little prayer" simply does not exist. So why are we going around the world getting people 'saved' in a way that is totally different from the Bible? And is such a "salvation" really any salvation at all? What is the actual pattern of conversion that the apostles DID use? All these questions and more are answered in this provocative book.

Book Description
AN INDIE NEXT PICK! From the #1 bestselling author in Japan comes a celebration of books, cats, and the people who love them, infused with the heartwarming spirit of The Guest Cat and The Travelling Cat Chronicles. Bookish high school student Rintaro Natsuki is about to close the secondhand bookstore he inherited from his beloved bookworm grandfather. Then, a talking cat appears with an unusual request. The feline asks for—or rather, demands—the teenager’s help in saving books with him. The world is full of lonely books left unread and unloved, and the cat and Rintaro must liberate them from their neglectful owners. Their mission sends this odd couple on an amazing journey, where they enter different mazes to set books free. Through their travels, the cat and Rintaro meet a man who leaves his books to perish on a bookshelf, an unwitting book torturer who cuts the pages of books into snippets to help people speed read, and a publishing drone who only wants to create bestsellers. Their adventures culminate in one final, unforgettable challenge—the last maze that awaits leads Rintaro down a realm only the bravest dare enter . . . An enthralling tale of books, first love, fantasy, and an unusual friendship with a talking cat, The Cat Who Saved Books is a story for those for whom books are so much more than words on paper.
