Now in its second edition, A Defence of the Bible answers the common arguments used against Christianity and the Bible, including detailed responses to four major misconceptions: That Christianity is "just another religion" That science through the Theory of Evolution can explain our existence without the need for God That the Bible is merely a collection of ancient myths and is full of mistakes That Jesus Christ, if he ever existed, was merely a good man and was not God. A Defence of the Bible is published in large-format paperback, consisting of 182 full color pages with 185 images and 565 footnotes. Comments on the first edition: I just wanted to write you a quick note to say that I have just finished reading your book. It was absolutely incredible! I am sure I will refer to it again and again. I am especially excited about sharing it with one of my work colleagues. He is very interested in biblical evidence. Your book has come at just the right time and I do not believe in 'coincidences.' This has God's fingerprints all over it! Thanks so much again Gary. You may never know (this side of heaven) what kind of eternal impact your research and teaching has had on people. I realize that you give all of the credit and glory to Christ, but I truly believe that (name of colleague) and several other seekers of the Truth will still be thanking you 10,000 years from now for the role you played in their journey toward_Christ. Randy McFarland, Indiana, USA Gary, thank you so much for the book. It is explicitly well researched, meticulously documented with colour pictures, pithy (no waffle), interesting and easy to understand. Bob McGregor-Skinner, NSW, Australia Before I read "A Defence of the Bible," I already believed that the Bible was the true and accurate Word of God, but I also knew that I couldn't completely persuade an unbeliever of that fact. I dreaded the thought of being challenged - I simply couldn't produce any reliable outside evidence. Studying "A Defence of the Bible" changed the situation entirely. Dr Baxter has made the material in this book both meaningful and memorable, presenting it in a clear and powerful way. As I read chapter after chapter of real, irrefutable evidence, God used this book not only to strengthen my own faith but also to prepare me to share that faith with others. I'm praying that He will use it to bless many others. Sarah Tesch, Victoria, Australi As an evangelist, I have encouraged many people to read this book and to utilise it as a resource to answer the hard questions many people put to them. A new Christian, whom I showed this book to last night, was thrilled when he saw it and began telling me how it would help him and assist in his witness to unbelieving friends and family. James Hood - Evangelist, USA Thank you so very much for this wonderful book! We are very pleased to show it to anyone who visits our home and appreciates the research and hard work it entailed to complete such a work. Virg and I leave it on our coffee table so we can read it anytime and discuss all the fascinating facts. It's quite a testimony to everyone about our Lord and His word, our Bible. Susan Jacobelli, Toronto, Canada You are a blessing and I appreciate how God is using your passion for Him to help educate and support other Christians. It is becoming more and more important to put into the hands of believers the answers to some of the questions that are being asked about creation, Jesus and religions. Thank you for what you have done in putting together your book. Steven Maldoff, Pastor, Murray River Baptist Church, Australia

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The doctrine of the security of the believer certainly is important, but its importance can only be related to the believer. For that reason an individual must know that he has believed the Gospel of the Bible and not a false gospel. Why would we want to assure someone that his salvation is secure, if he is not truly saved? We must first rid him of any false hope before we can show him security in the true hope of the Biblical Gospel. As we look at our society around us, we are shocked at the godlessness that exists. Day by day our world is sliding downward into an abyss that has no light. God tells us to call men out of the darkness and into the light. Lately though, many churches have a message that leaves men in darkness, and even takes the darkness into the church to make them feel comfortable. We look at the large "evangelical" churches with thousands of members and we have to ask ourselves, with so many "Christians" in our nation, how have we had so little effect? Today, in addition to legalized abortion, we also have gender identity, homosexual marriage, and so many other godless things. Perhaps we are reaping the consequences of years of preaching a perverted gospel that has filled the pews without actually changing hearts. The solution that some offer makes "commitment" part of the gospel; but in so doing, they have created a different gospel, a gospel that changes the grace of God for the works of man.

Book excerpt: What does the gift giver say about the gift He gave? This book will help you overcome the arguments, fears, and anxieties related to this gift. FEATURES AND BENEFITS Shares the author's personal testimony and spiritual journey with speaking in tongues Examines the history of this gift in the church for the past two thousand years Interacts with those who have denied that this gift is valid for today's church Speaks to the relationship between Spirit baptism, Spirit filling, and the gift of tongues Few other issues have separated the church more than the issue of tongues. Sam Storms focuses on this controversial subject with his signature insights to theology and the gifts of the spirit. What does the gift giver say about the gift He gave? Storms seeks to bring balance to this subject in The Language of Heaven as he wrestles with this sensitive issue experientially as well as theologically. He ultimately provides a platform to allow God to speak for Himself as he addresses every text of Scripture on the subject and engages with every theological issue that speaking in tongues provokes. As a pastor, Storms knows the questions that the typical churchgoer is asking and provides clear and accessible answers to them all, including: Is the gift of tongues for every Christian or only some? How does the gift of tongues operate in the life of the believer individually in private practice? How does the gift of tongues operate in the corporate assembly of God's church? How is the Christian edified and strengthened by praying in tongues? How do I pray for the gift and prepare my heart to receive it? You can overcome the arguments, fears, and anxieties related to this spiritual gift. Remember, God gives only good gifts, and it is His intention that His church utilize all that He has provided so that we might experience all that He is.

Download or read book Irresistible written by Andy Stanley and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2018-09-18 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fresh look at the earliest Christian movement reveals what made the new faith so compelling...and what we need to change today to make it so again. Once upon a time there was a version of the Christian faith that was practically irresistible. After all, what could be more so than the gospel that Jesus ushered in? Why, then, isn't it the same with Christianity today? Author and pastor Andy Stanley is deeply concerned with the present-day church and its future. He believes that many of the solutions to our issues can be found by investigating our roots. In Irresistible, Andy chronicles what made the early Jesus Movement so compelling, resilient, and irresistible by answering these questions: What did first-century Christians know that we don't—about God's Word, about their lives, about love? What did they do that we're not doing? What makes Christianity so resistible in today's culture? What needs to change in order to repeat the growth our faith had at its beginning? Many people who leave or disparage the faith cite reasons that have less to do with Jesus than with the conduct of his followers. It's time to hit pause and consider the faith modeled by our first-century brothers and sisters who had no official Bible, no status, and little chance of survival. It's time to embrace the version of faith that initiated—against all human odds—a chain of events resulting in the most significant and extensive cultural transformation the world has ever seen. This is a version of Christianity we must remember and re-embrace if we want to be salt and light in an increasingly savorless and dark world.

Download or read book Nova Sapiens The Believers written by David J A Cooper and published by David J A Cooper. This book was released on 2020-12-23 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kasih is a robotic child drawn into a project to discover her secrets, and into a war that threatens all humanity, including her own. The murder of her family by Union troops in Bandung leaves the rebels’ robotics experts, Losana Maraiwai and Wei Dingxiang, with nobody to explain Kasih’s design but Kasih herself. She is not what anyone expected. In Darwin, Dingxiang suspects a magic trick may explain away her human-like artificial intelligence. In Beijing, Union politician Gabriel da Costa fears an extinction-level technology. Both sides of the war see a weapon that might win it. But Kasih is not strong, fast, or even particularly coordinated. She tries in vain to make sense of her father’s death, and of a world ready to dismantle her and repurpose her technology. And she cannot escape the Union’s plans. The rebels, including Kasih’s original rescuers, Paul Kanner and Debra Hall, are powerless in the face of a new army of robotic soldiers based on her design. The Union has created monsters, whose cold efficiency unleashes wholesale destruction. They threaten the world’s only chance for freedom, and perhaps its very survival. Neither Kasih nor Dingxiang understand why Kasih herself is not like them. Kasih must fight back against the fate others have determined for her, and for the world, and Dingxiang needs her ingenuity to solve the very conundrum that her existence represents. For Kasih to save her human friends, she must help them destroy her own kind.

Download or read book Reasons to Reason written by Nancy A. Almodovar and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2021-07-22 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Apologetics? What is that? Isn't that for theologians and pastors? These are the rebuttals one might receive when encouraging Christians to learn and engage in apologetics, the defense of the Christian faith. This book isn't about apologetics per se. Instead, it reviews the many benefits for Christians engaging in apologetics and learning about it. Dr. Almodovar reviews what aspects of the field helped strengthen her own faith and brought excitement in bringing the good news of the forgiveness of sins through Jesus Christ as she spoke with those who aren't Christians. Over the past years, Dr. Almodovar has actively engaged in encouraging Christians to actually do apologetics and many have come back to her saying it not only helped them answer the questions of non-believers but strengthened their own faith knowing now the great amount of evidence there is for the Christian religion. If you've never engaged in defending the faith, now is the time to learn how it will benefit you in your walk with Christ and perhaps excite you to dig a little deeper so you too can answer their questions about Jesus, his life, death, and resurrection for the forgiveness of all our sins.
