  The explosive novel that confronts the Reformation's horror and heroism. 
  It’s 1563 and Europe teeters on a knife-edge. Catholics and Protestants are on the brink of a war so catastrophic that it will kill millions and rage for a hundred years. One voice cries out—pleading for peace and calling for tolerance. 
  Will that voice be heard, or will it be silenced? 
  Based on real-life characters and events, this historical novel tells the story of Sebastian Castellio, a brilliant theologian and ethicist, whose calls for religious tolerance and dialogue in the sixteenth century sparked a violent backlash from his one-time colleague and friend, the renowned Protestant Reformer John Calvin.

  Why is it that so many Christians read these as metaphors: 
  "The Whore of Babylon" (Revelation 17:5) 
  "Pluck out your eye" (Matthew 5:29) 
  "Strain a gnat, swallow a camel" (Matthew 23:24) 
  "Salt of the Earth" (Matthew 5:13) 
  "Living Stones" (1 Peter 2:5) 
  "A Thorn in the Flesh" (2 Corinthians 12:7) 
  "The Lamb of God" (John 1:29) 
  While reading these literally: 
  "The Lake of Fire" (Revelation 20:14-15) 
  "Unquenchable Fire" (Matthew 3:12) 
  "Weeping and Gnashing of Teeth" (Matthew 8:12) 
  "Worm That Never Dies" (Mark 9:48) 
  "Furnace of Fire" (Matthew 13:42) 
  "Outer Darkness" (Matthew 22:13) 
  "Fire and Brimstone" (Revelation 21:8) 
  While my 340-page book, HELL: A Jewish Perspective on a Christian Doctrine, has received tremendous reviews, I understand that not everyone has the time to read such a lengthy work. So, if you’re looking for answers, this new, concise, standalone book focuses on the "hellfire verses" in the Bible, examining them within their original Jewish context. This small book is an excerpt (Part III) from my 2024 book on Hell, created especially for those with limited time! 
  In this short 140-page book, we will journey through Bible verses that Fundamentalists believe reference the Eternal Conscious Torment view of hell (aka "Hellfire"; an abusive physical, mental, and emotional punishment that lasts forever). The book will provide an easy-to-read, contextualized commentary to refute the popular Augustinian-Calvinistic view. We will also explore the meanings of four distinct Hebrew and Greek words frequently translated as "hell" in English.

  God Trump and COVID-19 - How the...

  From the best-selling author of God and Donald Trump, which was brandished by the president at the World Economic Forum in Davos How the Pandemic Is Affecting Christians, the World, and America's 2020 Election This book is a timely follow up to God, Trump and the 2020 Election that reveals insider information about China, the virus, and the ever-increasing stakes of the upcoming election. It will answer the question for the Christian believers (and seekers) of where God is in all this? It provides a little known prophecy by the late David Wilkerson about a plague coming that would shut down the government as well as churches and bars, including shaking New York City as it's never been shaken. Wilkerson said this plague would force believers into radical prayer that will spark an awakening--something echoed by Christian leaders and prophets. Just as the economy was booming and Donald Trump was fixing long-term problems and beating back attacks from his opponents, a brand-new virus shakes up everything including the outcome of this election. The author has inside information about what happened in China early in the pandemic and what went wrong. He even documents how Donald Trump has led the nation in this time of crisis. In 2016, God raised up Donald Trump to lead America at a pivotal time. Evangelicals who recognized this backed him more than any other presidential candidate in history. Heading into Election Day 2020, the stakes are even higher, especially with the uncertainty and upheaval caused by COVID-19. This book is really "part two" of God, Trump and the 2020 Election which details the fight for the soul of America. Strang believes readers need both books to understand and explain what's at stake. With the shutdown caused by the pandemic, serious anti-Christian trends surfaced, such as some states closing "non-essential" churches but allowing liquor stores to provide curbside service. Or ceasing all elective surgeries except abortion, which is the taking of a life while the purpose in shutting down the economy was to save lives from this dreaded virus.
