Breaking Invisible Barriers

Publisher:
ISBN: 9781937455026
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 202
Book Description
Many Christians today are living a life of constant struggle and failure no matter what they do to try and improve their lot in life. They are fighting something they do not understand. It is as if something invisible comes and blocks their progress just before they reach their goal. Something keeps them from leading a life of victory and fruitfulness. This invisible barrier that seems to plague many Christians of good standing, is what this book sets out to explore. This barrier often leaves family members frustrated, confused, or in total despair. In some families, this invisible barrier causes unemployment. Then we find that in that particular family almost everybody struggles with getting employment or each time they are employed, they lose their jobs. This may happen even in cases where people are well educated. The paradox is that this phenomenon seems to affect both the Christians and the non-Christians within a family. This invisible barrier is called a curse. Curses bring shame, embarrassment, frustration, and mockery. God never intended for any of His children to live under a curse. That is why He sent His Son to become a curse for us. ""Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us . . ."(Galatians 3:13). It is possible to break this invisible barrier through the power of the Cross of Calvary!

I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist
Author: Norman L. Geisler
Publisher: Crossway
ISBN: 1433581442
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 417
Book Description
To some, the concept of having faith in a higher power or a set of religious beliefs is nonsensical. Indeed, many view religion in general, and Christianity in particular, as unfounded and unreasonable. Norman Geisler and Frank Turek argue, however, that Christianity is not only more reasonable than all other belief systems, but is indeed more rational than unbelief itself. With conviction and clear thinking, Geisler and Turek guide readers through some of the traditional, tested arguments for the existence of a creator God. They move into an examination of the source of morality and the reliability of the New Testament accounts concerning Jesus. The final section of the book deals with a detailed investigation of the claims of Christ. This volume will be an interesting read for those skeptical about Christianity, as well as a helpful resource for Christians seeking to articulate a more sophisticated defense of their faith.
