Download or read book Tackling the Toughies written by Dale "Bud" Brauer and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2023-02-09 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Christians, we are often presented with questions that the Bible doesn't give clear-cut answers to, but with a little searching and a little thinking outside the box, we can postulate fairly accurate answers. This book is a collection of subjects that often frustrate or confuse Christians, with thoughts and insights into what the Bible says about them. If you've ever had questions about heaven or hell, about marriage or divorce, about sin and its origin, or why we suffer, you may find answers here. What happened to Cain after leaving Adam and Eve? How do we reconcile dinosaurs and the creation account? Is there life beyond our planet? Whether it is an issue of a personal nature or a larger extrapersonal issue, we have gathered insights into one book for your convenience. Each issue in this book could be a book in itself, and many books have been written on some of these subjects, but our aim is to give you one source with insights and a biblical basis for these issues. The above issues, and more, can be found inside for your reading pleasure and edification!
