To some, the concept of having faith in a higher power or a set of religious beliefs is nonsensical. Indeed, many view religion in general, and Christianity in particular, as unfounded and unreasonable. Norman Geisler and Frank Turek argue, however, that Christianity is not only more reasonable than all other belief systems, but is indeed more rational than unbelief itself. With conviction and clear thinking, Geisler and Turek guide listeners through some of the traditional, tested arguments for the existence of a creator God.

Understanding the New Testament is a daunting but exciting task. Our world is so different from that of the first century. Yet it is important to understand the context and content of the New Testament if we are to be faithful followers. Now, this survey addresses the who, what, where, when, why, and how questions that readers of the Bible may have, such as: How can we tell if what is written in the New Testament is true history or just mythology? When were these books written and why? and What can today's believers get out of letters addressed to people who lived two millennia ago?

THIS E-BOOKLET IS BASED on one of the most highly demanded reviews I have ever done. There are many reasons for this. First of all, it is about a wildly popular book, being a New York Times best seller with millions of copies in print. Second, untold thousands of people have been blessed from reading The Shack (THE SHACK) by William P. Young (2007). Third, it is on a topic which untold numbers of people have experienced—why God permits tragedy. The problem is that so many people allow the emotional impact of the book to strike them without really analyzing the theological message it ...

Is Christianity for or against pleasure? Far from being against pleasure per se, the Bible holds out true pleasure as one of the great gifts of God. Is God a cosmic killjoy? Is He a Heavenly Scrooge? Should a Christian feel bad when he feels good because he’s afraid if he felt better he might feel worse? God is not a celestial Scrooge who provides no pleasure for His children. Rather, Scripture depicts Him as the kind of Father who is ready to say, “Let us have a feast and celebrate. For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found” (Luke 15:23-24). The true ...

As a lady was throwing ashes on their frozen lake, her neighbor asked: “What are you doing?” “I am putting these ashes on the ice,” she replied. “Why don’t you get your husband to do that?” he enquired. “This is my husband!” she declared! More and more people are opting for cremation. There is little doubt that cremation has become more popular in the Western countries since the mid–twentieth century. There are now around 2,000 crematoria in the United States. Combined together they perform over one million cremations each year. Most hospitals use cremation to dispose of...
