Today, anxieties and fears permeate our society. One study finds anxiety has become the number one mental health issue in America. It is estimated that one-third of our population experiences anxiety wellness issues. Studies show that many men and women are experiencing high levels of overall stress…they often feel out of control of their health and life. They simply have difficulty managing the pressures of life.In the United States - in skyrocketing numbers - anxiety/pain pills, recreational drugs, and alcohol are being used…supposedly, they alleviate our anxieties. Marijuana use by teens has dramatically escalated recently in spite of the fact that marijuana use at any age can cause permanent cognitive impairment. As well, the majority of those who had negative results in marijuana use say it actually contributed to their struggle with anxiety.One report found that more than half of college students sought help for their anxiety issues. Further, statistics also point out that 43% of all people living in North America take mood altering prescriptions regularly.On the other hand, many of these problems can be solved by honestly looking at our life in a realistic and truthful manner. However, many people avoid doing so. President John Kennedy verbalized it well. "The great enemy of truth is very often not the lie - deliberate, contrived, and dishonest - but myth - persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic. Too often, we hold fast to clichés of our forebears. We subject all facts to a prefabricated set of interpretations. We enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought."The fact remains…Scripture has the answers! Many anxiety-ridden people, lacking true hope, have not realized that the pages of the Bible reveal the hope they seek. The Bible proclaims that true hope is not a thing to be seen and cannot be found in the things of this world. For certain, hope that is found in this world cannot alleviate our fears and anxieties.In this book, Bible teacher, Ron Hoffman, offers solid Biblical teaching regarding the Bible's focus on past, present and future realities concerning this world. The author has included many excellent charts in the book to guide the reader through understanding its contents.The book directs our attention to the fact that only when we realize how world history relates to our everyday lives, can we truly have genuine hope. In addition, it is noted that this study of Scripture is not for pointless curiosity or to satisfy our minds with empty data. No, this study is to bring about accurate Biblical knowledge to generate transformation of mind, as well as, give hope, encouragement, comfort, and peace to the believer's heart.The optimism spoken of will never disappoint, delude, or shame the person trusting in that hope. The writer declares the true hope in Christ…Jesus is the only one who can give genuine relief from anxiety. Jesus, Himself, calls out to people who are exhausted and weary from carrying heavy loads of anxieties; He is ready to give them true rest for their souls. Trusting Jesus as Savior and Lord brings about the "bubbling over" of hope to the weary…Jesus becomes the safe haven of their soul.And, yes, that Jesus will return one day…He promised! Believers are to be waiting expectantly for His imminent return…He told us He would appear when we least expect Him…and, yes, He will certainly give us a wonderful bright future!

In 1379, Venice faced destruction at the hands of an alliance led by her bitter rival Genoa. The ethereal city which today is renowned for its beauty and splendor stood one step from becoming erased from the map of Europe. Only through great hardship, valiant leadership, daring tactics and last minute saves, did Venice free herself from the grip of her foes. When the war ended, little had been decided, and both Venice and Genoa were financially and morally exhausted. Their trading networks, so important to recovery, were in a shambles. From this post-war challenge, Venice was able to recover quickly, but Genoa was not. Venice rose to levels of power and wealth that greatly surpassed her pre-war greatness. By the early fifteenth century, Venice had expanded her Mediterranean empire, established dominance over trade with the east, and controlled most of northeastern Italy. Wealth poured into the Most Serene Republic of Venice. On the other side of Italy, Genoa descended into a state of internal chaos. She became vulnerable to the ambitions of her neighbors including France. She even became a possession of the King of France. Not until the sixteenth century did Genoa fully recover, by which time it was too late to renew competition with Venice. The story of Venice's path from desperation to ascendancy is peopled by some of the greatest heroes the city ever produced. Their stories are captured in Joel Farrell's account of Venice's most dramatic period.

The Quest to Overthrow Heaven begins at the dawn of time in a fully realized universe populated by seraphim, cherubim, and countless angels-all with their own agendas and allegiances. However, the cherub prince, Lucifer, becomes filled with vanity and wants to be renowned as the Supreme Spirit, who rules over all. Before long, Lucifer rebels against the Supreme Spirit and convinces a third of the angels to follow him. The fallen angels begin an endless reign of evil, enticing mankind to commit every imaginable sin. The actions of the demons also give rise to giants who terrorize humans, and monstrous beasts which destroy everything in their path. In a world of growing wickedness, the archangel Michael and half of his angels are sent to earth to watch over and protect virtuous people. But the angels soon confront legions of armed demons who slaughter most of them. Only Michael and another angel escape. The demons believe they have the upper hand and decide to attack heaven. A massive battle ensues between the forces of evil and legions of angels in which the outcome conclusively determines who will rule heaven forever... Blending a biblically based foundation with extraordinary dramatic insights, The Quest to Overthrow Heaven is required reading for Christians, Bible scholars, and anyone who loves the greatest story ever told.

I understand how intimidating and overwhelming the Bible can be. Like every other book that I have ever read, I started at the beginning, in the book of Genesis. For me, this was confusing and tedious. Combined with the Bible's length and organization, I almost gave up reading it and I happen to be a very driven individual! Determined to tackle the Bible, I put my intimidation aside and asked for help. I wanted to know exactly who Jesus was, what He said and what He did and what qualified Him to be the Savior of the world. Despite all the hurdles, I couldn't shake the fact that the Bible claimed to be the written word of God. I needed to discover if there was truth to that claim and wanted to understand the teachings of Jesus and the basics of Christianity. This book was birthed on what helped me gain a better overall understanding of the Christian faith and focused on the bare essentials of Christianity. I felt it was important to include the Gospel of John, which contains the words of Jesus, the book of Acts, which demonstrates the power of the Holy Spirit and the significance of resurrection and the book of Romans, which details the creed of every Christian. The Trinity Bible is NOT a Bible nor should it be considered a replacement for one. I personally refer to it as a formal introduction to Jesus. At one hundred and eighty five pages long, it's a far cry from the twelve hundred pages of the original King James Bible. I personally encourage you to open your heart and mind while reading this book. Get to know the person of Jesus, not as a religious figure but as the loving savior, mentor and friend He desires to be. To learn more about my story visit: www.TheTrinityBible.com
