Book Description
This book reminds the believer, the non-believer, the saint and the sinner that anytime we give up on God, we give up on His promises of peace. It is in the midst of life's trials and tribulations that we are awakened to the unmistakable truth that God forges the best parts of our lives in the furnace of difficulties and hardships. Sadly, this generation knows little, if anything about what happened at Azusa street, the First, Second or Third Great Awakenings, the 1904-1905 Welsh Revival, the Can Ridge Revival, nor do they recognize the names of Jonathan Edwards, Dwight L. Moody, Charles H. Spurgeon or Billy Sunday. We know nothing about prayer, or the affects that prayer has had on this nation for the past 232 years. Writer and philosopher George Santayana sums it best when he said, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. Those who do not remember their past are condemned to repeat their mistakes. Those who do not read history are doomed to repeat it".

Book Description
Bryan and his wife, Donna, have seven children and six grandchildren. Bryan likes to say that he is first and foremost a Christian. He was saved on his twenty-seventh birthday, and has sought the Lordas guidance ever since. Bryan is active in the ministry of his local church. Through Godas guidance, Bryan was led to establish a technology company in the Midwest. This company grew quickly and led to the establishment of even more prosperous companies. Bryan was on a roll and living the American dream, when suddenly, he saw everything he had worked so hard for threatened and jeopardized by a never-ending onslaught that seemed to be out of his control. It was through these monumental trials that Bryan re-connected with his God, and God began the process of revealing great Biblical truths to him, truths that helped him through the fire. This is the story of how God rescued a man who thought that he could do it all himself, and how a loving God gently brought a distant son back into His home. This is the story of a loving Father who used the trials of the present circumstance to re-establish His love for His child and demonstrate great truths throughout the process. The teachings are presented so that others who may be going through their own personal hardships and struggles may benefit from the lessons and timeless insights into the mind of God while showing what is truly of value in this life.

Book Description
Bestselling and award-winning author Lee Strobel interviews experts about the evidence for the afterlife and offers credible answers to the most provocative questions about what happens when we die, near-death experiences, heaven, and hell. We all want to know what awaits us on the other side of death, but is there any reliable evidence that there is life after death? Investigative author Lee Strobel offers a lively and compelling study into one of the most provocative topics of our day. Through fascinating conversations with respected scholars and experts--a neuroscientist from Cambridge University, a researcher who analyzed a thousand accounts of near-death experiences, and an atheist-turned-Christian-philosopher--Strobel offers compelling reasons for why death is not the end of our existence but a transition to an exciting world to come. Looking at biblical accounts, Strobel unfolds what awaits us after we take our last breath and answers questions like: Is there an afterlife? What is heaven like? How will we spend our time there? And what does it mean to see God face to face? With a balanced approach, Strobel examines the alternative of Hell and the logic of damnation, and gives a careful look at reincarnation, universalism, the exclusivity claims of Christ, and other issues related to the topic of life after death. With vulnerability, Strobel shares the experience of how he nearly died years ago and how the reality of death can shape our lives and faith. Follow Strobel on this journey of discovery of the entirely credible, believable, and exhilarating life to come.
