Sinossi

 “A welcome correction to the politically tortured conceptions of Islam so prevalent today . . . An important, original new examination of Islam.” —Kirkus Reviews   Despite heightened interest in the study of the Muslim faith, for many people Islam remains shrouded in mystery and confusion. What really is Shariah law? How is a Muslim to understand Jihad? Does Islam oppose Western values such as free speech or freedom of religion? What place do women have according to Islam?   Understanding that this confusion has as much to do with the behavior and words of Muslims as it does with allegations made by anti-Islam activists, Demystifying Islam offers refreshingly bold answers to provocative questions about Islam today. Author Harris Zafar—lecturer, writer, teacher and national spokesperson for Ahmadiyya Muslim Community USA—is forthright about issues where Muslims disagree, and he digs into history through vast research and scholarship to track the origins of differing beliefs. From the burqa to the role of Jesus in Islam, Demystifying Islam is an essential resource and concise guide to understanding the fastest growing religion in the world.  “This book is less of a spiritual introduction than it is a cultural one, and an excellent starting point for people navigating interfaith relationships or working to improve understanding and representation in organizations and public discussion.” —Publishers Weekly  “A significant contribution to the global conversation on peace, freedom, and justice in a world mystified and threatened by geopolitical and religious tensions.” —Paul Louis Metzger, author of Connecting Christ

    During times of distress, it is of paramount importance that people have the assurance that God exists. Even Christians need their faith to be bolstered and doubts eliminated when they face hardships of different kinds. 
    The trend towards unbelief in God is accelerating. According to a recent survey:Half of Americans now say they are not sure God exists.One third of Americans never go to church.Generation Z (born 1997 to more recently) are the most likely to have no religion at all. 
    Young people have their belief in God attacked at school, where evolution is taught as if it were an unchallenged scientifically proven fact. 
    The effects of unbelief in God can be seen in increasing social disorder and violence on the streets. A lack of fear of God is manifesting in looting of shops, setting fire to buildings and increased disobedience to the laws of the land in many western nations. 
    But can we know without doubt that God exists? And can we get to know God himself? The answer is “Yes”, we can know for sure that God exists, and who he is. 
    This book focuses on three proofs that God exists:BiologyFulfilled biblical prophecyMiraculous interventions 
    Any one of these is sufficient to show without doubt that God exists. Added together the three provide an ironclad assurance.

    A Pastor Looks at Physical Exercise and Its Potential to Serve Spiritual Life and Joy
    We live in an age dominated by screens. For many, life is sedentary, and it's become increasingly difficult to prioritize physical activity. Quietly conformed to this new normal, they feel sluggish and unmotivated. Others, however, have become entangled in a fitness culture that prioritizes the self, fuels pride, and coddles idolatry. Is it possible to make exercise holy?
    A Little Theology of Exercise explores how stewarding our bodies can serve the soul, honor God, and bless others. Combining biblical texts with practical guidance, pastor and author David Mathis encourages readers to embrace modest exercise as a way to deepen their knowledge and enjoyment of Christ and then reflect his love in the world. By placing Christ at the center of physical training, readers will discover a greater joy in exercise and an even deeper joy in their relationship with God.
    
    - Christ Centered: Demonstrates how effective body stewardship serves the soul, fostering the ability to know and enjoy Christ better 
    - Balanced: Helps readers embrace new healthy habits while navigating the challenges of sub-Christian motivations

    God will not waste your pain 
     
    We have all heard of post traumatic stress, but few of us think about the possibility of post traumatic growth--the positive ways in which we can be transformed by our trauma. Yet this is precisely what can happen when we face our hurts, struggle through the rubble of our broken relationships, and unearth the ways God wants to use our trials to refine and mature us. 
     
    With compassion born from personal experience and insights gathered from years of counseling others, licensed marriage and family therapist Debra Laaser helps you stop asking "Why me?" and start asking "Lord, what would you have me learn from this?" She offers tangible steps you can take to move beyond daily survival toward a future in which you can thrive. 
     
    God does not waste our pain. With Laaser's expert guidance, you can experience positive life change not in spite of the hurt, loss, or betrayal you have undergone but because of it.
