Dawn of Grace - Mary Magdalene's Story

Jill Eileen Smith

Casa editrice: Revell

Sinossi

She's been pulled up from the depths of despair--but what happens when the hope she has found slips from her grasp? 
 
From her earliest days, Mary Magdalene has known fear and loss at a level so deep she has no hope of surfacing. Bound to the demons within her and incapable of freeing herself, Mary walks in shadow--until one day she encounters a healer, a rabbi who is radically different from the religious leaders and family members who could do nothing to help her. One touch from Jesus and Mary is never the same. 
 
Now Mary's one mission in life is to serve the one who freed her. She is determined never to leave his side, fearing that if she loses him, she'll return to her former bondage. Even when the unthinkable happens and her savior is arrested and sentenced to execution, she cannot abandon him as so many others did. Let her be buried in his tomb, for she cannot live without him. 
 
On the brink of despair, Mary is about to discover that while the life of faith is never perfect, perfect love casts out fear--and Jesus makes all things new.

Walter R. Scarborough

What picture does the Bible paint about the future? 
Many Christians are scared, worried and anxious about the future. They are in a spiritual fog and are baffled by the many prophecies and events of the end times and what they mean. They really do not know that the Bible has much to say about that future; in fact, one-fourth of the Bible is about prophecy and end time events. This book will provide insight into questions such as the following: 
How does the panorama of prophecies and events fit together?What are all the various viewpoints of the future?What is my place in the future?What is prophecy?Who are God's chosen people?What are the prophecies concerning Israel?Will I live again after death?Are there covenants between God and Israel?Biblical prophecy and end times - are they understandable? What does Christ say in the Olivet Discourse about the future?Where are we in the flow of God's Plan for Humankind?This book will challenge you, will help you understand Biblical prophecy and end times, and will bring you hope that the future is fully ordered and will occur in a specific sequence as described in the Bible. It will help you develop a solid foundation on the future of God's Plan for Humankind.

The Republic Of Texas - "Texas'...

Gary Bray

After the economic collapse of the United States, Texas buys its sovereignty, becoming its own country; The Republic of Texas. 
Texas quickly becomes the most powerful economy in the world based on affordable energy and free enterprise, making them a target for a United Nations in need of revenue. The showdown becomes the last stand for faith and freedom. 
The Republic of Texas is a picture of what a Christian nation exercising free market principles would look like. It explains capitalism and wraps in a futuristic fantasy. A tender love story surrounded by the threat of world war. The Republic of Texas is an affirmation of the Christian lifestyle, prayer and a case for capitalism being the most free form of self-determination. This radio-style drama will take you on a space age adventure from the bottom of the ocean to outer space on a roller-coaster ride, leaving you on cliff-hanger after cliff-hanger. Until all is resolved.

The Works of His Hands - A...

PhD Sy Garte, Alister McGrath

Raised in a militant atheist family, Sy Garte fell in love with the factual world of science. He became a respected research biochemist with an anti-theistic worldview to bolster his work—and he had no intention of seeking a God he didn't believe in. That is, until the very science he loved led him to question the validity of an atheistic worldview. His journey to answer the questions that confronted him drew him into becoming a fully committed Christian, determined to show others the truth: modern science doesn't contradict God at all but instead supports Christianity. 
 
 
 
In the first half of the book, Sy begins with how his experiences and quest for knowledge as a student and early in his career brought him to question his materialist assumptions. He goes on to reveal how lessons from physics, biology, and human nature—all presented for lay audiences to easily understand—actually argue for belief in God. In the second half of the book, Sy looks at the arguments often presented against God in academic and scientific settings and explains the false foundations on which they rest. 
 
 
 
For those who have been told that the realities of science call for a rejection of God—but can't quite get rid of the feeling that this shouldn't be true—The Works of His Hands is an ideal reminder that the two don't have to be bitter enemies.
