In this ground-breaking book Jay Howard discusses many issues that show a blatant disregard for truth by the current CRI president.

[ Did Walter Martin's widow plan to endorse him, as the next CRI president, during the funeral? [ Is it really necessary for a president of a Christian nonprofit organization to make over $250,000 a year? [ Why did he fire so many key people after he took over in 1989? [ Was he equipped to take over The Bible Answer Man program in 1991? [ Why did CRI buy him a $66,000 Lexus sports car in 2004 while they were laying off staff? [ Did the post office in Rancho Santa Margarita really misdirect CRI's mail for three months at the end of 2004? [ Is his Personal Witness Training manual a plagiarism of Evangelism Explosion by D. James Kennedy? [ Why does he need to live in a one million dollar house in a gated community in North Carolina?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although many people suggest that Christianity is declining, research indicates that it continues to be the world's most popular worldview. But even so, the Christian faith includes many controversial beliefs that non-Christians find hard to accept. This book explores 12 issues that might cause someone to dismiss orthodox Christianity—issues such as the existence of suffering, the Bible's teaching on gender and sexuality, the reality of heaven and hell, the authority of the Bible, and more. Showing how the best research from sociology, science, and psychology doesn't disagree with but actually aligns with claims found in the Bible, these chapters help skeptics understand why these issues are signposts, rather than roadblocks, to faith in Christ.

Download or read book The Bible Answer Man Walter Martin and Hank Hanegraaff written by Cindee Martin Morgan and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-07-29 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, while containing relevant biographical information, is not a biography of Walter Martin. It highlights the ministry God raised up through Walter Martin almost six decades ago, the Christian Research Institute (CRI), and unpacks some of its triumphs and trials. It is a daughter's reflections on seasons of her father's life -- both public and private -- and is, in a limited sense, a memoir. It answers many questions, such as: What was it like to have Walter Martin as a father? (This is the question I am asked most frequently.) Was Walter Martin a dispensationalist, like his friend Hal Lindsey? Why was Walter Martin not invited back on the Trinity Broadcasting Network? What happened, behind the scenes, when he debated America's most infamous atheist, Madalyn Murray O'Hair? Why didn't he believe the Catholic Church is a cult? What happened, off camera, when Walter Martin debated Fr. Mitch Pacwa on The John Ankerberg Show? Would my father agree with CRI's current assessment of the Local Church? How did God give Walter Martin the opportunity to witness to Muhammed Ali and Phil Donahue face-to-face? When did Anderson Cooper's mother help the Martin family? How did the Lord make a way for the Osmond brothers to hear Walter Martin preach about Mormonism? Did my father believe the gift of healing is for today? Many Walter Martin tributes from well-known leaders are also included. This book is also an honest look at CRI's president, Hank Hanegraaff, and the controversy that shook the Evangelical world when he joined the Greek Orthodox Church. Do his beliefs conflict with the gospel handed down through the ages? Would Walter Martin have viewed him as an apostate? A look at what Walter Martin, Martin Luther, J. C. Ryle, J. I. Packer, and C. S. Lewis believed might give you serious pause as to how to answer this important question. In addition, this book includes an in-depth interview with Hank Hanegraaff, the president of the Christian Research Institute. Hank discusses his faith, his family, CRI, and his friendship with Walter Martin -- including rarely heard details about the moments after Hank learned of his death -- and his friendship with R. C. Sproul and others.
Download or read book Questioning the Bible written by Jonathan Morrow and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2014-07-15 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bible is the most influential book in human history. But what are we supposed to do with it in the 21st century? And even more importantly, can it still be trusted as the Word of God? Confusion and doubt about the Bible are becoming as common inside the church as they are outside. Questions come from all sides: Is the Bible anti-intellectual? Has the biblical text been corrupted over the centuries? Who really chose the books of the Bible and why? Which interpretation of the Bible is correct? Are the gospels full of contradictions? There are an unprecedented number of sophisticated attacks on the origin, credibility, and reliability of the Bible today. Secularism has tried to undercut even the possibility of spiritual or moral knowledge. Skepticism toward institutional religion is at an all-time high. Yet, the Bible claims that truth is knowable and God is actively involved in our world. What are we to do? Pray for wisdom. Think clearly. Pick up your Bible. Read through the 11 major challenges presented in these pages. And be ready.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When we have difficult questions, the Bible has answers. Join Rick Warren, pastor and New York Times bestselling author, as he invites us to take a closer look at key biblical figures and the ways in which they faced difficult questions and challenges in their daily lives. In God's Answers to Life's Difficult Questions, Warren uses stories from scripture to teach us that the Bible is filled with examples of real people who faced the same dilemmas we're facing today. By demonstrating the ways in which God chooses to use ordinary people to accomplish his plans--despite their weaknesses and failures--Warren gives us hope as we take on life's countless challenges. Better yet, Warren provides us with realistic solutions that we can start putting into practice today. Taking us inside the lives of biblical characters including Moses, Paul, and Jesus himself, Warren gives us a chance to see the up-close-and-personal ways they navigated their own circumstances. Although God's Answers to Life's Difficult Questions is anchored in timeless stories from scripture, Warren also weaves in modern examples that address the twelve questions he's asked the most as a spiritual leader, including: How can I learn to handle discouragement? How can I respond better in a crisis? How do I become more resilient when I feel like a failure? How can I fight my loneliness? How is change possible for me? How can I lead a more peaceful life? The concrete, practical insights that Warren shares in God's Answers to Life's Difficult Questions will give you the tools you need to build up your resilience, strengthen your relationship with God, and finally enjoy a life full of lasting purpose, peace, and significance.
