The Cross Is Not Enough by Ross Clifford,Philip Johnson Pdf

If Christ had not risen from the dead, if God's plan for redemption had ended at the cross, what would our faith look like? Have we become so fixated on the cross that we have lost an understanding of the centrality of the resurrection? And if we ignore the resurrection, what effect does that have on our worldview, our evangelism, and our Christian practice? In The Cross Is Not Enough, Ross Clifford and Philip Johnson explore how the resurrection of Christ has been understood in times past and restore this linchpin doctrine to its rightful place as the basis of our hope, our worldview, and the way we live our lives. They compare Christianity's unique understanding of resurrection to other world religions and explore why the resurrection connects so readily with the human psyche. Pastors, teachers, students, and anyone involved in ministry will benefit from this insightful and engaging treatment of Christianity's most important doctrine.

I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist by Norman L. Geisler,Frank Turek Pdf

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.

Evangelical Is Not Enough by Thomas Howard Pdf

In this deeply moving narrative, Thomas Howard describes his pilgrimage from Evangelicalism (which he loves and reveres as the religion of his youth) to liturgical Christianity. He soon afterward became a Roman Catholic. He describes Evangelicalism with great sympathy and then examines more formal, liturgical worship with the freshness of someone discovering for the first time what his soul had always hungered for. This is a book of apologetics without polemics. Non-Catholics will gain an appreciation of the formal and liturgical side of Catholicism. Catholics will see with fresh eyes the beauty of their tradition. Worship, prayer, the Blessed Virgin, the Mass, and the liturgical year are taken one after the other, and what may have seemed routine and repetitive suddenly comes to life under the enchanting wand of Howard's beautiful prose. Howard unfolds for us just what occurs in the vision and imagination of a Christian who, nurtured in the earnestness of Protestant Evangelicalism, finds himself yearning for "whatever-it-is" that has been there in the Church for 2000 years. It traces Howard's soul-searching and shows why he believes the practices of the liturgical Church are an invaluable aid for any Christian's spiritual life. Reminiscent of the style and scope of Newman, Lewis and Knox, this book is destined to be a classic. "The question, What is the Church? becomes, finally, intractable; and one finds oneself unable to offer any very telling reasons why the phrase 'one, holy, catholic, and apostolic', is to be understood in any other than the way in which it was understood for 1500 years." -- Thomas Howard

Was Jesus's Blood Not Enough? by A. Virginia Smith-Davis Pdf

When Jesus walked the earth, He was "the Word" in human form. His presence represented the magnificence of God's love, voluntarily sacrificing Jesus's sinless blood as payment for our sins. This book, Was Jesus's Blood Not Enough?, is a collection of letters, which served to provide encouragement, love, strength, and forgiveness, showing that God's word is as real as it was when Jesus walked the earth. In a society where communication remains restricted by constantly shortening character limits, our expressions are often quick and short and frequently miss the point. While writing letters appears to be a dying art, some gifts never get old. Letters are far more physical than the paper on which they rest, with expressions of personal information and details, which have had life breath blown into them from the heart of the writer. A letter's heartbeat can be felt over again with each reading. In times when the comfort of hugs is impossible, the encouragement of sincere words can serve as the type of relief that can only touch the heart. This collection of real letters shows how expressions of love based on the Word of God can help others during the spectrum of life's experiences. Whether in times of celebration or appreciation or those marked by fear, depression, grief, or hopelessness, many recipients found these letters to be encouraging and supporting. Indeed, some people carry these letters to serve as armor during times of weakness. What began as a request to write one letter to a man dying of cancer mushroomed into many. Some letters were requested and others sent unsolicited yet all letters were infused with love. It is certain that as you read these letters, you will find some that will touch your heart or could help someone you know. Keishan J. Davis, Esq. Son of the author, A. Virginia Smith-Davis

The Cross by Martyn Lloyd-Jones Pdf

Ever since his first sermon in 1925, Martyn Lloyd-Jones consistently emphasized the significance of Christ's sacrifice for our sake. This new collection of sermons reveals this theme in Lloyd-Jones' classic expository style, showing his gift for combining a warm, personal devotion to Jesus Christ with deep theological insight. His grasp of Scripture still causes the maturest believer to ponder, yet he brings a simplicity of thought to his preaching that even a child can understand and enjoy. The Cross explains how Christ's crucifixion works for our redemption, and why this even is the cornerstone of the Christian life.

How Good Is Good Enough? by Andy Stanley Pdf

Surely there's more than one way to get to heaven? Bestselling author Andy Stanley addresses this popular belief held even among Christians. But believing that all good people go to heaven raises major problems, Stanley reveals. Is goodness not rewarded, then? Is Christianity not fair? Maybe not, he says. Readers will find out why Jesus taught that goodness is not even a requirement to enter heaven - and why Christianity is beyond fair. Andy Stanley leads believers and skeptics alike to a grateful awareness of God's enormous grace and mercy. Good People Go to Heaven...Don’t They? Sure they do. It only makes sense. Actually, it doesn’t really make any sense at all. Smart, educated, accomplished men and women everywhere are banking their eternities on a theory that doesn’t hold water. Chances are, you’ve never really thought it through. But you owe it to yourself to do so. Find out now what’s wrong with the most popular theory about heaven—and what it really takes to get there.
