TOO GOOD is a faith-based novel. It is a fictional work deliberately put together to teach, enlighten, correct and instruct readers on God’s ways and word. It’s a delightful read, entertaining and highly spiritual, showcasing the victory of good over evil no matter how far a man may go from God. I urge every reader to write their experience(s) during and after reading TOO GOOD and share with the world.
A Clear and Concise Exploration of the Christian Doctrine of Scripture The Bible is the written word of the living God. He speaks through this word, working in and through human agents as he reveals himself to his people. His word is trustworthy, yet many Christians struggle to articulate why they believe that to be true. Centered in the words of Scripture and especially the teaching of Jesus himself, this volume unpacks the doctrine of Scripture as taught by the church through the ages, helping to strengthen readers’ confidence in God’s word. Despite the challenges that are often leveled against the Bible, Thompson clearly articulates what Jesus taught about the Scriptures, how God speaks to his people through the written word, the crucial work of the Holy Spirit to apply the word, and the vital attributes of Scripture―its clarity, truthfulness, sufficiency, and efficacy. Readers will find encouragement to walk according to the word and to delight in the God who speaks. Concise and Accessible: Intended for use by church members and leaders as well as those in academic contexts Christ-Centered: Rooted in Jesus’s own words about the Old Testament and his commissioning of the apostles who would go on to write the New Testament Addresses Common Questions: Answers challenges about the Bible’s clarity, truthfulness, sufficiency, and efficacyShow book
Most of us would agree that the world has some issues. Wars still rage, refugees search for safety, pandemics spread like Australian bushfires. Slavery has not been eradicated, and neither has extreme poverty or even racism. But what are we to do about it? Can we do anything? Every now and then a powerful leader puts up their hand and promises change. ‘Follow me and I will give you want!’ But too often those pretty promises turn out to be pipe dreams, or worse, flat-out fabrications from power-hungry posers. Two Roads tells the story of a leader who, like these, put up his hand, called people to follow him, and promised a better world. But unlike those other political leaders, Jesus’ path to a better world was revolutionary, unexpected, and extraordinarily non-violent. His message was so influential that it changed the course of history, and so subversive that it got him literally crucified. Two Roads, grounded in the dust and drama of Jesus’ dangerous first century world, contrasts the two different pathways we humans can take to impact the world, and shows us where they ultimately lead. We can change the world, for better or worse. Two Roads invites us to follow Jesus along his revolutionary (but at times more challenging) road to build a better world. A world that works as well for refugees, children and minority groups as it does for billionaires and world-leaders.Show book
LIFE AFTER DEATH is one of a number of related works written by theosophy scholars during the early 20th century. In it, theosophist and clairvoyant C. W. Leadbeater sheds a comforting & clarifying light on what a soul is, as well as its journey after physical death of the body. Drawing upon clairvoyant observations, Eastern philosophy, and esoteric doctrine, Leadbeater dismantles conventional religious ideas of heaven, hell, and purgatory - replacing them with a multi-layered afterlife in which consciousness progresses through higher, more subtle planes of matter & energy. Leadbeater describes the astral and mental realms, the process of dying, and the immediate postmortem experiences that shape the soul's transition. He argues that Theosophy - through study and disciplined insight - presents a clear-minded understanding of these invisible worlds that offers an alternative to materialist denial, and dogmatic mysticism alike. LIFE AFTER DEATH is a guidebook for the soul, written not in abstract terms...but as a detailed roadmap of consciousness after the body is laid to rest. It remains a cornerstone in esoteric literature for providing much knowledge & understanding to one of mankind's most universal questions. (Note: due to the antiquated time period this work was first published, some of the Eastern names & phrases may not be completely accurate translations.)Show book
Friendships are difficult. Sometimes it can seem as if friends are more work and pain than they're worth, with friendship challenges that we have to endure and struggle through. Life gets in the way of our well-intentioned efforts to connect. Conflicts and differences over serious issues divide us and make us think that we could never be close to a person ever again. In today's cancel culture, it's easy to give up on people and just walk away, leaving us all more isolated than before. How can we build real relationships that are life giving and pass the test of time? Bryan Loritts mines one of the Bible's least-known books for insights into how friendships can flourish even in the midst of sin and brokenness. With careful exposition and insight, he unpacks how the apostle Paul helped Philemon and Onesimus reconcile a most unlikely relationship with truth, repentance, and grace. With God's work and steadfast love, even the most painful relationships that have ruptured are not beyond the reach of forgiveness and reconciliation. Discover how friendships that are hard can be transformed into friendships that endure.Show book
An orphan boy. A lone Indian. A half-dead outlaw in the desert. When Redskin rides into Amity with a dying man draped across his saddle, nobody knows what to make of him — not the sheriff and not the saloon boy who wants to be a bounty hunter. But Redskin is never truly alone. And the trouble he brings with him is only the beginning. What follows is three novels' worth of gold, gunfire, and something darker than either — a war between flesh and spirit played out across the American frontier, where every man must choose which master he serves. The Way of the Spirit is an epic Western adventure for boys who want to feel the danger of being alive — and for the fathers who have been waiting for a story worth putting in their son's hands. All three novels. One complete journey.Show book
