Tow, Timothy, ed. Prophets of fire and water [221.92 PRO]
“This book is a record of selected messages preached at the FEBC (Far Eastern Bible College) Bible Conference, Genting Highlands, September 5-9, 1988. The theme of the Conference is “Declaring All the Counsel of God in Perilous Times.” While the “Perilous Times” mentioned in the Conference theme relates to the end of this age, we felt an exposition on the lives and acts of Elijah and Elisha, “Prophets of Fire and Water” during a perilous stage of Israelite history, might throw light on the crisis the Church is going through today.”
Wiersbe, Warren W. Meet yourself in the parables [226.8 WIE]
“The parables are both mirrors and windows. As mirrors, they help you see yourself. As windows, they help you see life and God. In the parables, Jesus deals with subjects you cannot afford to treat lightly: Salvation, forgiveness of others, love for minority groups, the right and wrong use of money, prayer, motives for service, and more. If you find yourself jolted by what you learn from these stories, give thanks to God and then apply the lessons to your life.”
Sarfati, Jonathan. Refuting evolution : a handbook for students, parents, and teachers countering the latest arguments for evolution [231.765 SAR]
This book was produced in direct response to a book published by the US National Academy of Sciences (NAS) – a book meant to teach biology teachers how to teach evolution so that their students would believe it. In an amazingly concise refutation of the NAS’best arguments for evolution and long ages, Dr Sarfati’s incisive mind lays bare the shallowness of that apologetic for the prevailing culture-myth of our times – that everything made itself without a creator…It is the clarity of the logic that makes for the book’s compactness.”
MacArthur, John. The Jesus you can’t ignore : what you must learn from the bold confrontations of Christ [232.95 MAC]
“What you think of Jesus Christ will thoroughly colour how you think about everything else,” writes John MacArthur. This is a critical truth in the life of every believer. Our view of Jesus affects the way we view God, the world, ourselves, and every one of our decisions. These days, Jesus is often portrayed as a pacifist, a philanthropist, or a docile teacher. He strikes a plastic—and sometimes pathetic—pose in the minds of many. Some prefer the meek and mild Jesus who heals the sick, calms fears, and speaks of peace and goodwill. These things do represent a portion of the Messiah. But tragically, too many have never been exposed to the rest of him. They have never seen a full 360-degree view of the Saviour. Until now. John MacArthur walks through the gospel records and shows you a remarkable and compelling picture of the Jesus you can’t ignore.”
Malarkey, Kevin. The boy who came back from heaven [236.1092 MAL]
“In 2004, Kevin Malarkey and his six-year-old son, Alex, suffered a horrific car accident. The impact from the crash paralyzed Alex, and medically speaking, it was unlikely that he could survive. But two months later, Alex awoke from a coma with an incredible story to share. Of events at the accident scene and in the hospital while he was unconscious, and the angels that took him through the gates of heaven itself. And, most amazing of all … of meeting and talking with Jesus.”
