Do you believe--or at least suspect--that there is a Supreme Being behind the cosmos? Would you like to know more about him? Do you want to understand how, when, and why he created the universe? Or what will become of it in ages to come? If so, In Search of the Beginning was written especially for you. In it, author Dean Davis invites seekers of cosmological truth on a fascinating journey to the origin of the universe, life, and man. Along the way, you'll consider how the journey can be made successfully--whether by scientific theorizing, mystical experience, or divine revelation. You will visit with philosophical naturalists, both ancient and modern. You'll hear from pantheists, both classical and evolutionary. But most importantly, you'll ponder afresh the cosmological views of one who is arguably the most trusted religious Teacher of all time. And you will not be disappointed with what he says. Throughout the journey, Davis shows himself a competent and compassionate guide. He holds degrees in both Philosophy and Theology, and has been an avid student of origins science for many years. Also, for four long years he made his own difficult pilgrimage toward spiritual reality--years that qualify him to speak with feeling and insight to seekers everywhere, especially those immersed in Eastern religions. In Search of the Beginning is unlike any book on cosmology you have ever read: informed, readable, spiritually minded, and at times even poetic. But more than this, it is a book that actually goessomewhere: to the beginning, and to the one who began it all!
The Test: A Seeker's Journey to the Meaning of Life is a fresh and deeply thought-provoking exploration and defense of the biblical worldview. As the title indicates, it primarily targets seekers: spiritually hungry souls who can't quite shake the feeling that there may be something to the God of the Bible after all. However, it also targets Christians, endeavoring to help them better understand what they believe, why they believe it, and how to communicate their faith skillfully to friends and loved ones. This book advances a fresh paradigm on the meaning of life, arguing that human existence is not the pointless "mess" spoken of by our postmodern friends in high places, but rather a God-given test of our love of the truth, of our willingness to seek and find the one true worldview. It also defends the philosophical trustworthiness of Christ and the Bible, demonstrating how God has dramatically placed his seal of approval upon these two, marking them out as the true religious and philosophical teachers of the human race. The Test surveys the biblical worldview in considerable depth, responds to common objections, and carefully explores the implications of Christ's teachings for seekers. It also compares and contrasts the biblical worldview with others that modern seekers are likely to encounter, devoting special attention to atheistic naturalism, Eastern and New Age pantheism, and Islam. Along the way, author Dean Davis is careful to relate aspects of his own difficult search for truth, thus placing biographical flesh and blood upon the philosophical skeleton of the book. This long, challenging book will not appeal to the casual or faint-hearted. It will, however, supply both hope and help to spiritually hungry souls, souls eager to make and complete the ultimate journey to the ultimate destination: the meaning of life.
Does God always do what is best for His children? Joy in Living is the life story of Joy K. Boerop. She was born in the beautiful Lushan Mountains in the interior of China. Growing up in China, Joy experienced the horrors of war during World War II and the Communist takeover in 1949. In 1950 Joy and her parents were expelled from China. Then while living in Europe, she struggled to fit into cultures she did not understand. She was lonely and felt forsaken, but as time went on, she found the answer to her biggest question: is God truly all-sufficient? The answer was a resounding "Yes"! Joy met her husband, Bill Boerop, at the European Bible Institute in Paris, France. Together they served with Youth for Christ International in Belgium. Joy and Bill then immigrated to the United States, where over and over again their faith was challenged and tested. Eventually doors were opened to them for worldwide ministry with World Thrust International, founded by Joy''s husband. Laugh and cry with Joy as she shares the overwhelming faithfulness of her Savior, who has given her a life of great joy and fulfillment amidst suffering and adversity. "You will be encouraged and uplifted as you read about the many unusual miracles of God''s daily provisions." -Dr. Charles Stanley, Atlanta, Georgia
Will Jesus return physically to this earth? Will Christians be living on earth when the antichrist is revealed? What does the Bible say about the rapture? In this most comprehensive analysis of the Bible''s End Time Prophecies, Mr.Reid presents a remarkably insightful and straight-forward explanation of what is to come in the last days. Drawing heavily from both Old and New Testament prophecies, the author lays out the events of the last days, beginning with the 70th week of Daniel, and continuing through the advent of the New Jerusalem; addressing in detail the timing of the rapture with respect to the Great Tribulation and the Millennium. This book is unique in its handling of the book of Revelation. John''s vision of the end times is divided into four individual sequences of events. While each of the four sequences cover different time spans, events within each of the sequences progress in chronological order. Therefore, upon harmonizing the four sequences, the end time calendar unfolds neatly and consistently. "Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh" (Matthew 24:44). Though no one knows the exact day and time, this book will help prepare you for what lies ahead in the last days.
