Book Description
It was the atheist, Jean Paul Sartre, who once said that, "Hell is other people." Rowland Stenrud's Yeshua, the Crucified Serpent is about how mankind's savior, Jesus of Nazareth, has saved men and women from this hell by making it possible, and indeed inevitable, for human beings to love one another and their Creator-Father, Yahweh God. This book is about the concept and practice of human and divine love. The words of Paul in 1 Corinthians 13:1-13, the Bible as a whole, and the reader's life experience will help in defining this. The author reviews what he knows about the concept and its related precepts and brings them to bear in this book. God himself is love, which should tell us how mysterious a thing love is. To acquire this ability to love, one must suffer in union with the suffering Christ. Salvation, pure and simple, is God delivering each one from the inability to love other human beings and the Creator Himself. The obstacle to this perfect love is the serpent of human wisdom and pride that existed even in Jesus. In his loving obedience to the Father, Jesus nailed this serpent to the cross. Yeshua, the Crucified Serpent attempts to show that the question of evil and suffering in the world is answered by Yahweh's eventual success in saving all of mankind. The majority of Christians believe in a number of key doctrines that the biblical authors do not unequivocally teach. A few verses may support these unbiblical doctrines but a greater number of verses, whose meaning is clearer, contradict the standard interpretation of these few verses. Other doctrines that Christians mistakenly believe in find support in this or that section of the Bible but are denied by the general thrust of the Bible as a whole. These unbiblical doctrines followed by the correct biblical teaching are: 1. Sometime in the distant past a large number of God's angels rebelled against Him becoming what are called devils or demons whose leader is known as Satan or Lucifer. The Bible teaches that the only agent of evil in the universe is man's heart. 2. Adam and Eve possessed the perfection of Jesus Christ before they sinned. If they had not sinned they would not have needed to be healed of any weakness. The Bible teaches that Adam and Eve could not have had eternal life even before they sinned without the work of Jesus of Nazareth. 3. Faith is an act of the free will of man. The Bible teaches that faith does involve man putting his trust in God's promises and revelation, but it is primarily a power given to man by God in order to enable him to see spiritual truth the natural man cannot see. Without this gift of the Holy Spirit, no human being can know God and be saved. 4. Ultimately speaking, we are saved by our faith. On the contrary, it is through Jesus's faith in and love for the Father that is the instrument of our salvation. 5. Jesus saved us by paying the penalty due our sins and therefore saving us from the just wrath of God. This is false. No one had to pay any penalty for God to forgive the sins of the human race. God relates to sinners on the basis of mercy and mercy is not mercy if the penalty for sin is paid. By going to the cross, Jesus healed our brokenness which forgiveness alone could not accomplish. 6. Satan and the sins of men are ultimately responsible for human suffering. False. God is ultimately responsible for human suffering as it is a necessary part of God's work of saving human beings. God Himself shares in all of our suffering: physical, emotional and spiritual even though He does not have a body or nervous system. 7. Salvation is about our eternal destiny. This is not correct. Salvation is about being saved from the idolatries, addictions, corruption, hatreds, evil deeds that afflict the unsav

Book Description
The serpent of ancient times was more often associated with positive attributes like healing and eternal life than it was with negative meanings. This groundbreaking book explores in plentiful detail the symbol of the serpent from 40,000 BCE to the present, and from diverse regions in the world. In doing so it emphasizes the creativity of the biblical authors' use of symbols and argues that we must today reexamine our own archetypal conceptions with comparable creativity.--From publisher description.

Book Description
The Mystery of the brazen serpent is a simple to read book that unveils to us the plan of God for redeeming man-kind from the Old Testament to the New Testament. It enlightens our understanding that the Old Testament was a shadow of the better things the Lord had in store for us as believers. It shows us how the Lord God took what the devil meant for evil through the fall of Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden to the perfect sacrifice on the cross of Calvary. Just as Moses, the flame bearer of the law lifted up the brazen serpent in the wilderness, so Jesus Christ, the flame bearer of grace and truth was lifted on the cross of Calvary, spoiling the works of principalities and powers. Once you understand the mystery of the brazen serpent, you can activate the power of the finished work of Jesus Christ, to turn your life from zero to a hero in the kingdom of God.

Book Description
There's been an on going struggle between the seed of Satan and the seed of God. Satan has tried numerous times to contaminate the bloodline in which the Messiah of Israel would come. It's been a game of chess between the God of Israel who would bring about these Messianic prophecies, and the enemy of the Jewish people who would like nothing more than to destroy the Jews and those prophecies. To eliminate Israel is to eliminate the promises of God and the return of Jesus. Satan has raised empire after empire, dictator after dictator in his quest to destroy the Jews. These empires no longer exist but the Jewish people still remain. God has made promises to the Jewish prophets that he would preserve the Jewish people. God has preserved the Messianic bloodline in order to bring about those prophecies despite satanic attempts to eliminate them. In this book we go to the very beginning to see how this conflict began and where it will culminate in the greatest battle of all time according to Bible prophecy. August Rosado is the founder of Today in Bible Prophecy Ministries based in Corpus Christi Texas. He travels the country as he preaches at Churches on the soon return of Jesus the Messiah.

Saying the prayer, “Jesus, I trust in You,” is easy. Living this prayer as Mary did is not so easy. Mary has learned, though, and as a good Mother, teaches us how to trust, take a step along the path to life, and step upon the serpent who brings distrust and death. Stemming from years of personal prayer and lived experience, Fr. Thaddaeus Lancton, MIC, hopes to encourage the reader to take the next step in their own journey with the Lord.
