Book excerpt: Do you feel riddled with questions about faith? Answering the tough problems of freedom and faith, this book is a thorough deep-dive into doubt You'll become assured and confident when discussing determinism Determined to Believe is written for those who are interested in or even troubled by questions about God's sovereignty and human freedom and responsibility. John Lennox writes in the spirit of helping people to get to grips with the biblical treatment of this issue for themselves. In this comprehensive review of the topic of theological determinism, Lennox seeks firstly to define the problem, looking at the concepts of freedom, the different kinds of determinism, and the moral problems these pose. He then equips the reader with biblical teaching on the topic and explores the spectrum of theological opinion on it. Following this Lennox delves deeper into the Gospels and then investigates what we can learn regarding determinism and responsibility from Paul's discussion in Romans on God's dealings with Israel. Finally Lennox tackles the issue of Christian assurance. This nuanced and detailed study challenges some of the widely held assumptions in the area of theological determinism and brings a fresh perspective to the debate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a strong case for the Christian faith by using scientific evidence and philosophical reasoning. Although an abundance of Christian apologetic textbooks exist, most are not easily accessible because they offer long and scholarly treatments of subject matter that may not appeal to lay readers. This book differs in two ways. First, it presents the case for Christianity in a friendly scholarly prose, which enables readers to plainly understand each reason to believe. Second, these reasons are concisely structured so that within minutes, readers can quickly examine each argument in light of the evidence presented. 101 Good Reasons to Believe is essential reading for theists who wish to strengthen their faith in God and for nontheists who desire to critically investigate the truth claims of the Bible. This book includes topics such as: astronomical evidence for the existence of God, evidence for creation and intelligent design, refutation of Darwinian evolution, the historicity of Jesus, why there is human suffering if God exists, the accuracy of the Bible, and evidence for heaven and hell. The 101 reasons presented make thought-provoking and compelling reading for scholars and non-scholars alike.

Download or read book Why Be Catholic written by Patrick Madrid and published by Image. This book was released on 2014-06-03 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The popular blogger and publisher of Envoy magazine offers 10 key reasons why he loves being Catholic (and you should too). Drawing heavily on poignant anecdotes from his own experience as a life-long Catholic born in 1960s, Madrid offers readers a way of looking at the Church--its members, teachings, customs, and history--from perspectives many may have never considered. Growing up Catholic during a time of great social and theological upheaval and transition, a time in which countless Catholics abandoned their religion in search of something else, Patrick Madrid learned a great deal about why people leave Catholicism and why others stay. This experience helped him gain many insights into what it is about the Catholic Church that some people reject, as well as those things that others treasure. Drawing upon Madrid's personal experiences, Why Be Catholic? offers a deeply personal, fact-based, rationale for why everyone should be Catholic or at least consider the Catholic Church in a new light.

Download or read book Why Faith Makes Sense written by Will Jr. Davis and published by Revell. This book was released on 2008-10 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the Bible declares, "The fool has said in his heart that there is no God," our culture has turned that statement on its head. The mantra of today's intellectual crowd is that the fool is the one who believes in God. Sadly, some Christians are starting to believe this, too. Will Davis Jr. says this is nonsense. You don't have to stop thinking to be a Christian. In fact, faith is the logical, natural progression of good reasoning, and it is less foolish to believe in God than not to believe. With common language, humor, biblical teaching, and real-life stories, Why Faith Makes Sense helps everyday believers understand why belief is the rational outcome of clear thinking about the evidence that surrounds us.

Download or read book I Don t Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist written by Norman L. Geisler and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2021-05-17 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book 100 Answers to Questions from the Neighborhoods written by Tim Wallingford and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2016-12-29 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 100 Answers to Questions from the Neighborhoods: Personal Evangelism Done Jesus Style Companion Study Guide is a modern-day application of Jesus and the apostles strategy to fulfill the Great Commission. In just 30 years their evangelistic method was bearing fruit and growing throughout the whole world (Colossians 1:6)! Did you know Jesus walked over 3,000 miles through neighborhoods throughout Palestine? In Matthew 10, Jesus commanded his disciples to go into a neighborhood, find a worthy person and stay at their home. From there they went out and met the neighbors. The disciples then showed love to those they met by meeting any physical need(s). Only then would they share Gods love story, the gospel of Christ. This was also Jesus personal strategy. Today most evangelistic plans involve attracting the neighbors into the church. Churches do this with events, dynamic worship services, and quality programs for every member of the family. Many churches do this well but sadly the American church is in decline. Less than 20% of Americans now regularly attend church. In 1990, 20.4% attended church. In 2000, the percentage dropped to 18.7%. By the year 2050 if the church doesnt change, it is estimated church attendance will drop to 11.7%. This can be reversed if we adopt the evangelistic strategy used by Jesus and the apostles. This book gives you a detailed breakdown of the gospel the apostle Peter presented on the Day of Pentecost that ended with 3,000 baptisms in one day! The book will also show you how Luke, the author or Acts, packaged the never-changing gospel to ten different types of neighborsthe hurting, religious, spiritualist, seeker, fanatic, good person, abuser, skeptic, misinformed and pleasure seeker. This book and its training manual identify over one hundred questions about spiritual matters and help you have the answers your neighbors need to hear!

Book excerpt: The concept of the Holy Trinity has always been an enigma. Now, through the perspective of the creative process, a formula that permeates throughout creation discovers how a person is created in the image of the Holy Trinity. Here is just a sample where a formula for creation has uncovered this truth: - The mathematical formula 1+1+1=3 - The mathematical formula 1x1x1=1 - The creative process: mental, physical, spiritual - Science and the 3 realms of existence - The 3 types of human knowledge and faith - The 3 parts of human existence and essence - The 3 parts to God's essence and existence - The 3 branches of government - The 3 ways parts to good and evil - The 3 parts to change and time - The 3 contents in the Ark of the Covenant - The 3 requirements for divine authority - Etc., etc., etc. Benjamin Ciaccio was born and raised in a large Catholic Irish/Italian family in Omaha, Nebraska. Ben Jr. is a self-educated person whose father challenged him to discover the secret truths in life. His diversity of interests ranged from history, geography, science and technology to the current news. While his mother held the belief that there are two things you do not talk about in public, namely religion and politics, Ben's father felt that these two issues are what influences people most in life and should have a dialogue in public affairs. For years Benjamin was not satisfied with analogies and sought a definitive answer as to how man is created in God's image. His intrigue with life's mysteries and wonders has developed throughout the years. It is his perspective that there are truths waiting to be realized and old truths that will never change.
