Book Description
Know the Only True God: This is Eternal Life The all-powerful God of the universe wants us to know Him! What a sobering thought to meditate on. Jeremiah 9:23-24 declares, "This is what the Lord says: 'Let not the wise boast of their wisdom or the strong boast of their strength or the rich boast of their riches, but let the one who boasts boast about this: that they have the understanding to know me, that I am the Lord, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight.'" There is a difference between knowing about God and knowing God. The Bible has the power to change us and knowing the character of God helps us align our theology and practical living according to His Truth and purpose for our lives. Sadly, many of us who claim to know God have created our own "god" to fit our beliefs, values, desires, and the culture in which we live in. Satan desires just that! If we do not know the truths about our God, we will believe Satan's lies instead. How then can we truly know God? God has chosen to reveal Himself to us through His Word, but we must be willing to exercise our minds and hearts to truly study His Word. Whether you are a seasoned believer, brand new to the Christian faith, or just curious about who God is, Know the Only True God: This is Eternal Life will enlighten your eyes to the very character of God in a Biblical, logical, and practical progression. Rich truths are clearly explained in each lesson and thought-provoking questions take you a step further to help you prayerfully reflect on what you are learning. The book allows plenty of space for you to write down your thoughts, ideas, and references for you to refer back to years to come. This inductive Bible study is ideal for: Learning more about God in your own study of His Word Gaining a better understanding of how to study God's Word in-depth Discipling a new believer Leading a small group Bible study Evangelizing

Book Description
Most evangelical Christians believe that those people who are not saved before they die will be punished in hell forever. But is this what the Bible truly teaches? Do Christians need to rethink their understanding of hell? In the late twentieth century, a growing number of evangelical theologians, biblical scholars, and philosophers began to reject the traditional doctrine of eternal conscious torment in hell in favor of a minority theological perspective called conditional immortality. This view contends that the unsaved are resurrected to face divine judgment, just as Christians have always believed, but due to the fact that immortality is only given to those who are in Christ, the unsaved do not exist forever in hell. Instead, they face the punishment of the "second death"--an end to their conscious existence. This volume brings together excerpts from a variety of well-respected evangelical thinkers, including John Stott, John Wenham, and E. Earl Ellis, as they articulate the biblical, theological, and philosophical arguments for conditionalism. These readings will give thoughtful Christians strong evidence that there are indeed compelling reasons for rethinking hell.

Book Description
People search for meaning and purpose in life in all sorts of ways. Jesus made a powerful and important statement in His prayer to God the Father in John 17:3: This is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and the one you have sentJesus Christ. This Is Eternal Life explores how Jesus described eternal life from the perspective of the Word of God and shows how it impacts ones quality of life in the here and now. Presented in a Bible study format, This Is Eternal Life discusses what it means to be saved by grace, empowered by the Spirit, and set apart by God for service. It covers four life essentials for Christian living: fellowship, the Word of God, prayer, and stewardship. This Is Eternal Life weaves the authors personal experiences with insights from Scripture, and connections to illustrations and daily life. It offers a practical look at salvation and eternal life and describes how one can live life to the fullest by trusting God.

Book Description
Dead and Loving Every Minute of it! Eternal Life and How to Enjoy It is a real-life tour of what awaits us in the afterlife, as told by a guide Henry, who just happens to be dead. Author Gordon Phinn has been in communication with Henry for many years and brings us the tragicomic tale in his own inimitable style. Henry, a so-called "boring accountant," relates how--immediately after being killed in a car crash--he is welcomed by the affable Jack, who guides him on his first day dead. We see this new world through Henry's eyes and feel his amazement at every turn. Even better, we witness this stuffy "bean counter" let go of his suffering and guilt and turn into the fun-loving, carefree soul he truly is. After Henry gets used to the place, he becomes an afterlife guide himself, indulging the newly deceased in any whim or fantasy that will help them to "wake up and realize they're dead." Henry explains that most people have the afterlife experience their cultural and religious belief systems set them up for--including all the heavens, all the hells, and all the purgatories in between. When really, he says, we can view the afterlife as a constant progression towards the reunion with the god consciousness that we put aside to practice the art of being human.
