For nearly two centuries, a cancer has been eating away at biblical truth. That can be said in many fields, but there is one cancer that is particularly chameleon-like in that it masquerades as supremely biblical, and condemns all other views as deficient - the belief in a so-called 'Pre-Tribulation' rapture. Its proponents wield a huge array of atomized proof texts and seemingly biblical concepts such as 'imminence', and carry the popular conservative evangelical culture with them.
For nearly two centuries, a cancer has been eating away at biblical truth. That can be said in many fields, but there is one cancer that is particularly chameleon-like in that it masquerades as supremely biblical, and condemns all other views as deficient - the belief in a so-called 'Pre-Tribulation' rapture. Its proponents wield a huge array of atomized proof texts and seemingly biblical concepts such as 'imminence', and carry the popular conservative evangelical culture with them. Here theologian Nathanael Lewis, who has written three extensively researched books on the subject - * 'Rapture Rupture: The Big Lie behind 'Left Behind' Exposed' * 'Falsifying the Fathers' * 'The Rapture Trap' ... offers a short, simple but not simplistic work that examines three key passages as a whole, plus one bible verse that together show the real Rapture teaching of the Bible, one that is the complete opposite of the 'Left Behind' heresy, and that has real, eternal implications for Christians living in the last days. He shows how Paul in his letters to the Thessalonians follows in detail the teaching of Jesus in Matthew 24, and also how the very first thing Jesus did in teaching his disciples about the last days was to warn against false teachers preaching 'imminence' - which is the beating heart of the Pre-Tribulation doctrine. In fact, Jesus' warning about such teachers was simple: 'Do not be deceived ... Do not follow them.' It is time we heeded Jesus' warning, and this book is a great place to start. Nathanael Lewis is a sinner saved by grace, a flawed but loved adopted son of the Heavenly Father, a theologian, a poet, a musician and composer, and a human rights activist and champion for persecuted Pakistani Christians. You can find more about his work at www.natlewis.co.uk. At least 2.5% of profits from this book will go to help persecuted Christians, mainly in Pakistan or the Middle East.
A thought-provoking look at science denialism “for popular science readers who want better to be able to explain and defend science and scientific methods to others” (Library Journal). The battles over evolution, climate change, childhood vaccinations, and the causes of AIDS, alternative medicine, oil shortages, population growth, and the place of science in our country—all are reaching a fevered pitch. Many people and institutions have exerted enormous efforts to misrepresent or flatly deny demonstrable scientific reality to protect their nonscientific ideology, their power, or their bottom line. To shed light on this darkness, Donald R. Prothero explains the scientific process and why society has come to rely on science not only to provide a better life but also to reach verifiable truths no other method can obtain. He describes how major scientific ideas that are accepted by the entire scientific community (evolution, anthropogenic global warming, vaccination, the HIV cause of AIDS, and others) have been attacked with totally unscientific arguments and methods. Prothero argues that science deniers pose a serious threat to society, as their attempts to subvert the truth have resulted in widespread scientific ignorance, increased risk of global catastrophes, and deaths due to the spread of diseases that could have been prevented. “Prothero’s treatise will give the science-minded something to cheer about, a brief summary of the real data that supports so many critical aspects of modern life.” —Publishers Weekly

New-age topics that shed new light on the faith movement, healings, miracles, oneness, and the coming age, proving that the biblical perspective can answer any generation and any topic in a reasonable and rational explanation that no other theory or conjure hypothesis can do.
Most Christians believe that they will be snatched from this planet in a secret event known as the rapture. However, God's Word teaches no such thing. Learn the truth, today.

“A highly personal, richly informed and culturally wide-ranging meditation on the loss of meaning in our times and on pathways to rediscovering it.” —Gabor Maté, MD, author of In The Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters With Addiction A neuroanthropologist maps out a revolutionary new practice—Hedonic Engineering—that combines the best of neuroscience and optimal psychology. It’s an intensive program of breathing, movement, and sexuality that mends trauma, heightens inspiration and tightens connections—helping us wake up, grow up, and show up for a world that needs us all. This is a book about a big idea. And the idea is this: Slowly over the past few decades, and now suddenly, all at once, we’re suffering from a collapse in Meaning. Fundamentalism and nihilism are filling that vacuum, with consequences that affect us all. In a world that needs us at our best, diseases of despair, tribalism, and disaster fatigue are leaving us at our worst. It’s vital that we regain control of the stories we’re telling because they are shaping the future we’re creating. To do that, we have to remember our deepest inspiration, heal our pain and apathy, and connect to each other like never before. If we can do that, we’ve got a shot at solving the big problems we face. And if we can’t? Well, the dustbin of history has swallowed civilizations older and fancier than ours. This book is divided into three parts. The first, Choose Your Own Apocalypse, takes a look at our current Meaning Crisis--where we are today, why it’s so hard to make sense of the world, what might be coming next, and what to do about it. It also makes a case that many of our efforts to cope, whether anxiety and denial, or tribalism and identity politics, are likely making things worse. The middle section, The Alchemist Cookbook, applies the creative firm IDEO’s design thinking to the Meaning Crisis. This is where the book gets hands on--taking a look at the strongest evolutionary drivers that can bring about inspiration, healing, and connection. From breathing, to movement, sexuality, music, and substances--these are the everyday tools to help us wake up, grow up, and show up. AKA--how to blow yourself sky high with household materials. And the best part? They’re accessible, by anyone anywhere, no middleman required. Transcendence democratized. The final third of the book, Ethical Cult Building, focuses on the tricky nature of putting these kinds of experiences into gear and into culture—because, anytime in the past when we’ve figured out combinations of peak states and deep healing, we’ve almost always ended up with problematic culty communities. Playing with fire has left a lot of people burned. This section lays out a roadmap for sparking a thousand fires around the world--each one unique and tailored to the needs and values of its participants. Think of it as an open-source toolkit for building ethical culture. In Recapture the Rapture, we’re taking radical research out of the extremes and applying it to the mainstream--to the broader social problem of healing, believing, and belonging. It’s providing answers to the questions we face: how to replace blind faith with direct experience, how to move from broken to whole, and how to cure isolation with connection. Said even more plainly, it shows us how to revitalize our bodies, boost our creativity, rekindle our relationships, and answer once and for all the questions of why we are here and what do we do now? In a world that needs the best of us from the rest of us, this is a book that shows us how to get it done.

The Year of the Rapture by Dave Allan,Val Lanade Pdf
The Year of the Rapture, a trilogy of fantasy, fiction and fact is . . . UNIQUE ! The fantasy section of "The Year of the Rapture," begins as the author takes an imaginary journey into heaven via a dream as a boy of eight. While there he morphs into an adult and finds himself viewing a strange scene on earth. Though curiosity and creativity are rampant throughout, the integrity of the scripture is maintained. COMPELLING ! The fiction portion of The Year of the Rapture reveals a town full of young adults, (headies) seeking a secular experience to satisfy their search for reality. Their reverie is hijacked by a few Christians whose reality wins! The story builds and explodes with three shocking events that lead to a dynamic conclusion, leaving the reader astonished and incredulous. INSIGHTFUL ! Fact, "The future is now," is a popular twenty first century phrase and could be a Biblical reality anytime. "Perhaps today," is another statement regarding the imminent return of the Lord Jesus. Being ready for that occasion is urged by God in scripture. Therefore, regarding the Rapture, a constant NOW is presented in the Bible and by the author. Dave Allan has had an inveterate career of ministry experience. His credentials as a director includes three organizations, seven youth enterprises, multiple church ministries, numerous missionary junkets abroad and two Christian college positions. He is a speaker, author, strategist, instigator, organizer and practical Biblicist. Special thanks to Val Lanade for his imagination, creativity and inspiration. His personality is transparent and his enthusiasm is infectious.
Before Armageddon, before the Second Coming, there will be the Rapture. As the world’s attention turns to a battle beginning in Israel, prophecies foretell that living men and women will suddenly vanish, as the Bible says, “into the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.” What is the impact of this extraordinary promise upon Christians in America, Jews in Israel, and people everywhere? Why has anti-Semitism plagued the Jewish people throughout history, and why is it such a critical issue for Christians today?
