God's False Mirror by Gabriel Baicu Pdf

This fascinating and intelligent non-dogmatic study analyses the credibility of the first 11 chapters of the book of Genesis, from a combined perspective of philosophy, theology and science. The stories of how the world began and the creation of humankind are scrutinised by the author in an attempt to convey an advanced and objective understanding for its readers. The author has no intention to convert or de-convert to or from the Christian faith, instead, he chooses to share his findings with readers who can them make up their own mind. To support his plausible findings, he has evidenced and referenced a wealth of resources, and extensively researched this highly debated and constantly evolving topic. The finely detailed content reflects his meticulous undertaking, and the results are thought-provoking, to say the least. Everything has been included in this absorbing piece of work, from insights into extra-terrestrial beings, the bible's contradictory take on incest, eternal hell, moral standards, reproduction and symbolism, to the notion of the Babel tower myth, the reality of the animals on Noah's ark, the inconsistency of the flood stories, and the 'real' image of God; and the content throughout is highly compelling.

God Is the Gospel by John Piper Pdf

God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 2 Corinthians 4:6 This book is a cry from the heart of John Piper. He is pleading that God himself, as revealed in Christ's death and resurrection, is the ultimate and greatest gift of the gospel. None of Christ's gospel deeds and none of our gospel blessings are good news except as means of seeing and savoring the glory of Christ. Forgiveness is good news because it opens the way to the enjoyment of God himself. Justification is good news because it wins access to the presence and pleasures of God himself. Eternal life is good news because it becomes the everlasting enjoyment of Christ. All God's gifts are loving only to the degree that they lead us to God himself. That is what God's love is: his commitment to do everything necessary (most painfully the death of his only Son) to enthrall us with what is most deeply and durably satisfying-namely, himself. Saturated with Scripture, centered on the cross, and seriously joyful, this book leads us to satisfaction for the deep hungers of the soul. It touches us at the root of life where practical transformation gets its daily power. It awakens our longing for Christ and opens our eyes to his beauty. Piper writes for the soul-thirsty who have turned away empty and in desperation from the mirage of methodology. He invites us to slow down and drink from a deeper spring. "This is eternal life," Jesus said, "that they know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent." This is what makes the gospel-and this book-good news.

The Seven Days of Wander by Christopher Dutton Pdf

A philosophical fictional novel about the adopted son of Christ The beggar boy, the main character of this book, was the adopted son of Christ but was abandoned by the disciples after the Crucifixion. Destiny and fate revolve and conflict around this "Beggar's Young Son" as the now thirty year old man is called. As a young man, he returns for seven days to the City to take up his father's work, in an attempt to rectify his distance from humanity, from his own soul, from his own destiny. He uses logic, reason and an appeal for human compassion to try to bridge to the people of the City but finds only failure for himself as he cannot be as psychically insightful and empathic as his father was. Each time he feels this deeply as his own self-failure. In the final chapter, the young Beggar leaves the City in the company of a strange new prophet and comes upon a village carved out of hope and salvation but slipping again into despair. The author explores such topics as humanism, free will, theology, capital punishment, political systems, ethics, euthanasia, evolution and ,ultimately, the value of society to the individual and the individual to society.

Where Gods Die by P. Shankar. Pdf

It is the Land of Plenty where the events of the novel take place, but they are presented in such a way that they indicate worldly happenings. These events have the global phenomena of the so-called Modernity and Progress which left humanity far behind while itself proceeding miles and miles ahead. The story of the novel contains the bunch of events that depict Man, Money and Market. Here money symbolizes the Power and Market the progress. Man is the Common Man who is openly harassed and exploited. The events are mostly set on Satire, which is the backbone of the book. Satire makes the theme extraordinarily effective and appealing. By nature Fantasy makes satire more pleasing and convincing. The novel for that matter pasteurizes the fantasy of various forms depicting different anomalies of the progressive world. Besides Satire and Fantasy one more thing to mention. This novel has a touch of Philosophy. The Philosophy that would not bore but add a dimension to the readers thinking.

Word-Reader, Light-Bringer by Adelynn Spiecker Pdf

Genesis 1 opens with, “In the beginning, God ....” All life starts with Him. He wants total access to our souls, to dwell near us, to meet with us. And until we come face-to-face with Him, we can’t experience a saving relationship with the Lord. Once we gaze upon Jesus, we will automatically stop, drop, and shine—bringing the light to others, as Paul says in Philippians 2:15. As believers become readers of the Word of God, the Bible, they also become bringers of the light of Christ in their daily lives. Are you ready to get fire-hosed with living water? As that water washes your heart, the world will see you shining like the stars in the universe. Steeped in Scripture, overflowing with life application, and written with passion, Word-Reader, Light-Bringer will challenge Christ-followers to seize the power that comes to them through the Holy Spirit and shine the light of Christ to a watching world.

Spirit Growth by R. Crafton Gibbs Pdf

"Logos 2, Vol. 2 is the third of my ten-volume, Logos 1-7 work, each volume of which is able to stand alone as God’s Book of Life. It took me over 3,000 pages in ten volumes to say How and What is Important to Believe. Collectively, in this seven-part Logos Work of ten volumes, I seek to explain by experience who Jesus is, who God is, who the Holy Spirit is, what the Bible is, why it is crucial to life that we believe in them, what “belief” is, what “to be saved” is, just how Salvation is effected, what the “take-away” benefits are, and how to find meaning and purpose in life. As said, each of these ten volumes is able to stand alone as God’s Book of Life, portraying Life with the Holy Spirit by belief in the Christ of Jesus as Savior to eternal life with God. The ten volumes relate my Story of Writing God's Book of Life, using nonfiction essays and poetry with daily help of divine intervention in producing the seven-Logos Work of ten volumes, and the four supporting volumes seek to fully understand and explain this work inspired by the Holy Spirit, the Christ of Jesus. The action of God fulfilled for him in seven years all of Rodger Crafton's dreams of becoming a writer of poetry and prose, an armchair philosopher, and an artist working in his new, upstairs garage atelier.

Mirror, Mirror on the Wall by Marci Peterson Pdf

This is Marci's fourth published non-fiction. Mirror, Mirror tells of the grave troubles she's personally experienced in many churches as a truly born again believer. The problems began the moment her spiritual birth became real. Many of today's churches are filled and operated by "wolves in sheep's clothing," as Jesus called them. Is there "another Jesus?" as Scripture claims? Is there "another spirit" claiming to the be real thing? Are those under the influence of these "other" spirits teaching "another gospel" (2 Corinthians 11:4)? Yes! The actual Christ is found in Scripture. When the false Christ speaks, he speaks contrary to the Word of God. Those who follow this false Christ, will not enter the Kingdom of God, per the Bible. They consider themselves "the closest to Christ," but are not. In Mirror, Mirror, Marci explains what Scripture says regarding the deception Christ said would abound just before He returned. There is a false Mirror many see themselves through. It is a lying reflection based in flattery and spiritual wickedness most aren't even aware exists.
