Summary

"Doomed Prophecies" explores humanity's enduring fascination with the apocalypse, delving into biblical studies, prophecy, and religion to understand doomsday beliefs. By examining texts like Revelation, the book showcases how these prophecies have shaped cultures and sparked movements throughout history. Understanding apocalyptic predictions is vital, as these beliefs often influence social and political actions. For instance, some groups interpret current events through the lens of prophecy, influencing their behavior and decisions. The book argues that apocalyptic thought reflects our deepest fears and hopes, using narratives of the end to grapple with justice, morality, and the meaning of existence. It traces apocalyptic thought from ancient Zoroastrianism to modern interpretations of biblical texts. The book uniquely combines theological analysis with social-scientific research. Chapters introduce apocalyptic literature, analyze Old and New Testament prophecies, examine extra-biblical predictions, and discuss the implications of these prophecies for contemporary society.

    We all endure trials, pain, and hardship in this life. The enemy often uses those experiences to convince us that our brokenness disqualifies us from ever being used by God again—that we can no longer be a testimony because of our emotional or physical scars. The truth is, your past pain and brokenness actually serve as preparation for what God wants to do in you and through you, if you will but surrender to and trust in him. 
 
 
 
In Sacred Scars, neuropsychologist and fellow sufferer Dr. Michelle Bengtson helps you 
 
 
 
● understand suffering through a biblical perspective 
 
 
 
● discover how the trials of your life serve a purpose 
 
 
 
● reflect on the healing that God has accomplished 
 
 
 
● comfort others with the comfort God has given you 
 
 
 
Just as Jesus's scars didn't disappear after his resurrection, our scars tell our story and lend credence to our testimony of the love and power of God. If you are ready to turn your past pain into present comfort and future hope, let Dr. Bengtson be your compassionate guide.

Though the century began with such promise, it is 1910 when Mira Dean's hopes of being a wife and mother are dashed to pieces. Her fiancé dead from tuberculosis, Mira resigns herself to being a spinster schoolteacher--until Gordon Covington shows up. 
  
No longer the boy she knew from school, Gordon is now a preacher who is full of surprises. First, he asks Mira to come to Sourwood in Eastern Kentucky to teach at his mission school. Second, he asks her to marry him. Just like that. 
  
With much trepidation, Mira steps out in faith into a life she never imagined, in a place filled with its own special challenges, to serve a people who just might end up becoming the family she always yearned for.

    Religious Intolerance America...

    As the news shows us every day, contemporary American culture and politics are rife with people who demonize their enemies by projecting their own failings and flaws onto them. But this is no recent development. Rather, as John Corrigan argues here, it’s an expression of a trauma endemic to America’s history, particularly involving our long domestic record of religious conflict and violence. 
 
Religious Intolerance, America, and the World spans from Christian colonists’ intolerance of Native Americans and the role of religion in the new republic’s foreign-policy crises to Cold War witch hunts and the persecution complexes that entangle Christians and Muslims today. Corrigan reveals how US churches and institutions have continuously campaigned against intolerance overseas even as they’ve abetted or performed it at home. This selective condemnation of intolerance, he shows, created a legacy of foreign policy interventions promoting religious freedom and human rights that was not reflected within America’s own borders. This timely, captivating book forces America to confront its claims of exceptionalism based on religious liberty—and perhaps begin to break the grotesque cycle of projection and oppression.
