Book Description
People are curious what the Bible says about things like astrology, cremation, cloning, rock music, tattoos, etc. I know, because they ask me. After nearly thirty years of serving in pastoral ministry, I've come to the conclusion that people are hungry to know what God's Word says about stuff they're dealing with in their lives. It's not enough to know what other people think or what they heard a preacher say about it from the pulpit. "What does the Bible say about it?" Surprisingly, it can often be the people one would least suspect who are curious of such things. This book was designed to be a fun and easy read, not a preachy, theological dissertation. Believers and non-believers alike will enjoy discovering what the Bible says about Christmas trees, vampires, yoga, magic tricks, luck, karma, and so much more!

Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
A compassionate, shame-free guide for your darkest days “A one-of-a-kind book . . . to read for yourself or give to a struggling friend or loved one without the fear that depression and suicidal thoughts will be minimized, medicalized or over-spiritualized.”—Kay Warren, cofounder of Saddleback Church What happens when loving Jesus doesn’t cure you of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness. With unflinching honesty, Sarah shares her story of battling depression and fighting to stay alive despite toxic theology that made her afraid to seek help outside the church. Pairing her own story with scriptural insights, mental health research, and simple practices, Sarah helps you reconnect with the God who is present in our deepest anguish and discover that you are worth everything it takes to get better. Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.

Book Description
Did you know that the Bible talks about ghosts, dragons, demons, giants, zombies and other monstrous creatures? This little book, written by a pastor and college professor, covers all of the strange and weird supernatural beings in the Bible. You will be astonished! I know what you're thinking: why would a pastor write a booklet about such terrible things as monsters, skeletons and dragons, IN THE BIBLE?! To answer that question, I need to go back to my childhood. Honest confession time: when I was a boy, I thought the Bible was just plain boring. However, as I grew older, and genuinely began to study the Bible (after a significant crisis of faith), I realized that it was actually a quite FASCINATING book! There were amazing stories, funny events, puzzling mysteries, and this incredible character, Jesus, right in the middle of it all. Grab you a copy of Monsters in the Bible to read all about it, and maybe a night light too, just in case...

Pages : 93
Book Description
Modern western culture seems to find angels, demons, and even dragons irresistible. They are the topic of many books, films, and television series. A recent poll indicated that nearly eighty percent of people believe in such beings. But they are hardly a modern invention. Such creatures that go beyond time and space have been imagined for centuries. The Bible itself addresses the topic with various tales of angels and demons, and yes, even dragons. If you are intrigued about this background, this book is for you. It reveals how thoroughly biblical these creatures are, and what they can still teach us.

Things the Preachers Don't Tell You
Author: Delores Glass
Publisher: Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.
ISBN: 1641916028
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 439
Book Description
______________________________________________________________ There are literally thousands of religions practiced in the world today, including astounding 47,000 denominations within Christianity alone. They all claim to have the truth according their individual practices, beliefs, doctrines, and rituals - but are they all acceptable to the CREATOR, the Almighty GOD of the universe? The initial question of course is: Does GOD really exist? And if HE does exist, are all forms of worship acceptable to HIM? "THINGS THE PREACHERS DON'T TELL YOU" directs attention to the Judeo/Christian Bible for the answers, and in its pages the creation of the universe, and the miracle of life on earth testifies to the existence of GOD (Romans 1:20). So, the first part of the question is answered from both biblical and scientific perspectives. GOD authored the first 5 of the 39 Old Testament books of the Judeo/Christian Bible and gave them to us as the roadmap back to the precious gift of everlasting life that our forefather, Adam, forfeited at the very beginning of the world. Acceptable worship is made clear through the writings of men inspired by HIM throughout the entire Bible. Within the first 39 books of the Bible's 66 books GOD tells us 6,823 times that HIS name is YHWH (YAHWEH) and explains what HE expects of those who hope to gain everlasting life. Unfortunately, religionists have obscured HIS message by teaching that the Bible's mandates do not apply today, especially those contained in the first 5 books. Preachers dismiss the Bible's warnings and notoriously teach their own watered-down dogma as biblical fact. Many religious leaders have become motivational speakers who make people 'feel good,' by teaching that GOD is an all loving "Big Daddy in the sky" who will easily overlook their error. These preachers completely dismiss the majesty of YAHWEH and the seriousness of HIS mandates, also often using religion for personal financial gain. For those who are taught that the Bible, especially the Old Testament, does not apply today, GOD reminds us that "HE does not change (Numbers 23:19 / James 1:17) regardless the "political corrections" that modern day preachers have given to HIM and HIS word. 'THINGS THE PREACHERS DON'T TELL YOU' points to what the Bible says about: Free Will; Repentance; Revenge; Forgiveness; Justice; Yahweh and Yashua-who are they; The First Mandate; and What happened after Christ. It explains the parallel between the Old and New Testaments showing Christ's role in the Old Testament prophecies, and how those prophecies will be completely fulfilled at world's end. It shows how Satan figures into the picture, and you may be surprised to learn how Satan has used organized religion i.e., the preachers, to lead mankind away from Yahweh. You will also learn how the death penalty will be done away with for those who love YAHWEH. Take the time to consider what you believe and why. The scripture advises us to: "Make sure of all things and hold fast to what is fine (1. Thessalonians 5:21 NWT)" because, "This means everlasting life: their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ. (John 17:3 NWT)"

Undead
Author: Clay Morgan
Publisher: Abingdon Press
ISBN: 1426759479
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 210
Book Description
The New Testament records seven separate incidents of dead people returning to life through the power of God. In the midst of the current cultural fascination with undead creatures, many believers in the church are more familiar with zombies in entertainment than with the amazing stories of new life recorded in the Bible. Undead: Revived, Resuscitated, and Reborn retells these stories in a unique style that will reach a new generation of readers and challenge them to come back from the spiritual dead. Few believers realize that many people - including six specific individuals - are raised from the dead between the Gospels and book of Acts. Undead applies those stories to revitalize the faith of believers while leading seekers to discover the spiritual resuscitation that only comes from God through His Son. By examining each story of resuscitation, readers discover gospel truths that they can apply to their own lies in ways that will elevate hope and challenge faith. Relating to the characters in these accounts helps bring to light areas in our lives that may need revitalization and challenge us to decide whether we will allow God to transform us.

Matthew's Theology of Fulfillment, Its Universality and Its Ethnicity
Author: Herman C. Waetjen
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 056767567X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 392
Book Description
The interpretation of this gospel integrates an objective analysis of its historical context and a subjective semantic disclosure of meaning. To that end, a close reading of the text is combined with consistency building in order to achieve textual congruence and plenitude of meaning. The subject/ object split of traditional biblical scholarship that requires analysis in order to produce explanation as a definable object is superseded in this book by the event of reading as a dynamic happening of personal experience from which the reader cannot detach herself or himself.
