What does the Bible really say about the end times? There are so many Christians teaching outrageous speculation about end times Bible prophecy these days. It's enough to frustrate the serious Bible student. What if you found out most of it is simply mistaken? What if you found out that the ancient Jewish writers were using Old Testament imagery of the past, not a crystal ball gaze into our modern future?

As one of the foremost evangelical thinkers of the 20th century, Francis Schaeffer long pondered the fate of declining Western culture. In this brilliant book, he analyzed the reasons for modern society's state of affairs and presented the only viable alternative: living by the Christian ethic, acceptance of God's revelation, and total affirmation of the Bible's morals, values, and meaning.

Alisa Childers never thought she would question her Christian faith. She was raised in a Christian home, where she had seen her mom and dad feed the hungry, clothe the homeless, and love the outcast. She had witnessed God at work and then had dedicated her own life to leading worship as part of the popular Christian band ZOEgirl. All that was deeply challenged when she met a progressive pastor who called himself a hopeful agnostic. Another Gospel? describes the intellectual journey Alisa took over several years as she wrestled with a series of questions.

For centuries, the Church has observed the Lord’s Supper as part of corporate worship, instituted by Jesus Himself. But for many Christians today, this tradition can be a confusing ritual. Are we missing something in this ancient sacrament? Beni and Bill Johnson - best-selling authors and senior leaders of Bethel Church in Redding, California - had a miraculous revelation while celebrating communion. In The Power of Communion, they reveal how this sacred practice is an often overlooked opportunity to release God’s power in your life!

White offers a concise, understandable explanation of what the Trinity is and why it matters.

Publisher's Summary
The Book that Started an Audience Revolution
Hollywood Worldviews was the first book to come out that taught Christians how worldviews are integrated into movies and television.
It has guided a generation of believers in how to appreciate movies and interpret them with wisdom and discernment.

Now, in this updated expanded edition of the classic, award-winning Hollywood screenwriter Brian Godawa gives you the tools for being an active participant in culture without being seduced into compromise.
You’ll learn:
- The basics of worldviews and how they affect us.
- How worldviews are embodied in storytelling.
- How to deal with sex, violence, and profanity in movies.
- Tools for distinguishing the difference between exploitation of sins and moral exhortation.
- The basics of redemption in storytelling.
- The tricks screenwriters use to communicate their messages.
- Hundreds of examples of movies that illustrate the various worldviews.
- How Jesus, Christianity, and the Bible have been handled in movies over the years.
- “Watch and Learn” recommendations and guidance questions.

Not what I expected
I was expecting a collection of movies with pop psycho analysis. Instead I got a brain-stretching treatment on myth, culture, good and evil, and "the hero", ranging from Batman to Beowulf. And what Stor y Telling does with them. Not a light read, but a profitable one. So 4 stars.
