Book Description
God's Word is the most precious possession we have. It is timeless truth that should be treasured. Thankfully, we have a perfect Bible in the English language -- the King James Version. "Our Blessed Book" is an in-depth study of the divine inspiration, providential preservation, and the careful translation of the Bible. It is not dedicated to criticism but devoted to helping you discover the infallibility of God's Word. Unfortunately, only 41% of American adults strongly believe that the Bible is totally accurate in all that it teaches, and many of the Millennial generation have been deceived into accepting the English Standard Version and New King James Version as the inerrant Scripture.Whether you are a seeker of truth or a scoffer of it, join with Caleb Garraway in this insightful book as he studies how God inspired the Bible word for word and preserved it through the generations of time. Read how he discredits the Book of Mormon, the Qur'an, and the Apocrypha, examines various evidences that prove divine inspiration, and shows the historical and textual origins of the King James Version compared to the rest of the modern English translations. "Our Blessed Book" is a "bottom shelf read" as Caleb expertly and delicately presents to his readers the authentic legitimacy of Scripture and the undeniable proofs that the King James Version is the Word of God for English-speaking people.

Our Missing Hearts
Author: Celeste Ng
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0593492552
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 286
Book Description
An instant New York Times bestseller • A New York Times Notable Book of 2022 • Named a Best Book of 2022 by People, TIME Magazine, The Washington Post, USA Today, NPR, Los Angeles Times, and Oprah Daily, and more • A Reese's Book Club Pick • New York Times Paperback Row Selection From the #1 bestselling author of Little Fires Everywhere, comes the inspiring new novel about a mother’s unshakeable love. “It’s impossible not to be moved.” —Stephen King, The New York Times Book Review “Riveting, tender, and timely.” —People, Book of the Week “Thought-provoking, heart-wrenching . . . I was so invested in the future of this mother and son, and I can’t wait to hear what you think of this deeply suspenseful story!” —Reese Witherspoon (Reese’s Book Club Pick) Twelve-year-old Bird Gardner lives a quiet existence with his loving father, a former linguist who now shelves books in a university library. His mother Margaret, a Chinese American poet, left without a trace when he was nine years old. He doesn’t know what happened to her—only that her books have been banned—and he resents that she cared more about her work than about him. Then one day, Bird receives a mysterious letter containing only a cryptic drawing, and soon he is pulled into a quest to find her. His journey will take him back to the many folktales she poured into his head as a child, through the ranks of an underground network of heroic librarians, and finally to New York City, where he will finally learn the truth about what happened to his mother, and what the future holds for them both. Our Missing Hearts is an old story made new, of the ways supposedly civilized communities can ignore the most searing injustice. It’s about the lessons and legacies we pass on to our children, and the power of art to create change.

The End of Our Exploring
Author: Matthew Lee Anderson
Publisher: Moody Publishers
ISBN: 0802484247
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
Do we know what it means to question well? We need not fear questions, but by the grace of God, we have the safety and security to rush headlong into them and find ourselves better for it on the other side. Faith isn't the sort of thing that will endure as long as our eyes are closed. The opposite is the case: Faith helps us see, and that means not shrinking from the ambiguities and the difficulties that provoke our most profound questions. In our embrace of questioning, we must learn to question well. In our uncertainty, we must not give up the task of walking worthy of the calling that Christ has placed upon us. For we have not yet reached the end of our exploring. This book is written to aid you in faithfully questioning your foundations.

Halloween, Valentine's Day, Christmas, Thanksgiving, New Year's Day - these are but a handful of modern holidays descended from the red-letter days, seasonal celebrations we have invented and reinvented over more than five millennia to meet our changing human needs. When we explore their origins, the holidays begin to reflect not only who we are but also why, through oppressed by time and thwarted by the forces of nature, we never seem to lose the will to control the future.
