What Love Is This?
Author: Dave Hunt
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781928660125
Category : Calvinism
Languages : en
Pages : 590
Book Description
Many sincere, Bible-believing Christians are Calvinists only by default. Thinking that the only choice is between Calvinism (with its presumed doctrine of eternal security) and Arminianism (with its teaching that salvation can be lost), and confident of Christ's promise to keep eternally those who believe in Him, they therefore consider themselves to be Calvinists. It takes only a few simple questions to discover that most Christians are largely unaware of what John Calvin and his early followers of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries actually believed and practiced. Nor do they fully understand what most of today's leading Calvinists believe. Although there are disputed variations of the Calvinist doctrine, among its chief proponents (whom we quote extensively in context) there is general agreement on certain core beliefs. Many evangelicals who think they are Calvinists will be surprised to learn of Calvin's belief in salvation through infant baptism and of his grossly un-Christian behavior, at times, as the "Protestant Pope" of Geneva, Switzerland. Most shocking of all, however, is Calvinism's misrepresentation of God, who "is love." It is our prayer that this volume will enable readers to examine more carefully the vital issues involved and to follow God's holy Word--not man's teachings. "The first edition of this book was greeted by fervent opposition and criticism from Calvinists. In this enlarged and revised edition I have endeavored to respond to the critics." --Dave Hunt

More Than This
Author: Patrick Ness
Publisher: Candlewick Press
ISBN: 0763667676
Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 484
Book Description
From two-time Carnegie Medal winner Patrick Ness comes an enthralling and provocative new novel chronicling the life — or perhaps afterlife — of a teen trapped in a crumbling, abandoned world. A boy named Seth drowns, desperate and alone in his final moments, losing his life as the pounding sea claims him. But then he wakes. He is naked, thirsty, starving. But alive. How is that possible? He remembers dying, his bones breaking, his skull dashed upon the rocks. So how is he here? And where is this place? It looks like the suburban English town where he lived as a child, before an unthinkable tragedy happened and his family moved to America. But the neighborhood around his old house is overgrown, covered in dust, and completely abandoned. What’s going on? And why is it that whenever he closes his eyes, he falls prey to vivid, agonizing memories that seem more real than the world around him? Seth begins a search for answers, hoping that he might not be alone, that this might not be the hell he fears it to be, that there might be more than just this. . . .

Erasing Hell
Author: Francis Chan
Publisher: David C Cook
ISBN: 0781407532
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 145
Book Description
How could a loving God send people to hell? Will people have a chance after they die to believe in Jesus and go to heaven? With a humble respect for God's Word, Francis Chan and Preston Sprinkle address the deepest questions you have about eternal destiny. They've asked the same questions. Like you, sometimes they just don't want to believe in hell. But as they write, "We cannot afford to be wrong on this issue." This is not a book about who is saying what. It's a book about what God says. It's not a book about impersonal theological issues. It's a book about people who God loves. It's not a book about arguments, doctrine, or being right. It's a book about the character of God. Erasing Hell will immerse you in the truth of Scripture as, together with the authors, you find not only the truth but the courage to live it out.

Free to Love
Author: Timothy E. White
Publisher: Tate Publishing
ISBN: 1602478430
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 108
Book Description
Christianity exists in two very distinct camps. One emphasizes the devastating effects of sin, while the other emphasizes the deliverance of the Savior, both minimizing the power of the other. In order to 'rightly divide the word of truth' one must keep in balance the effects of sin and the glory of deliverance. In Free to Love, author Timothy E. White attempts to strike this delicate balance in a very unusual place-the Ten Commandments. Readers will be taken down a Scripture-filled path in search of the freedom to see these words of God through the eyes of Jesus, which leads to a love that will liberate them from hypocrisy on the right and heresy on the left, gaining the knowledge that the truth shall set them free...Free to Love.
