QTY 1-9 = $8 each QTY 10-19 = $6 each QTY 20 and up = $5 each   NEW!!!! The Bible — You Can Believe It To read key sections / chapters of this book online, click here. The Bible is the best selling book of all time. It has been a source of strength and hope for countless numbers of people through the ages. While there have always been critics of the Bible, since the mid-1800s it has come under increasing attack, especially from scholars. The situation today is that many seminaries do not teach that the Bible is the inspired Word of God, but instead teach that it is at best the writing of great men. This sentiment has grown in Christian circles to the point that even many churches do not teach the Bible, and many church people no longer consider the Bible their standard for faith and practice. The men who wrote down Scripture said they got their information directly from God. Thus, the Bible claims to be the very words of God. It claims to be true and right. The records in the Bible are presented as actual occurrences, not fables or fairytales. Often skeptics try to lessen the weight of their criticisms about the Bible by saying, Even though it is not the words of God, it is still a good book with lots of valuable lessons. Make no mistake; if the Bible is not what it says it is, it is not a good book at all-it is a pack of lies and the men who wrote it were colossal liars. This booklet is a defense of the accuracy and integrity of the Bible. It examines and refutes many of the most common criticisms that have been raised against the Bible. It shows that the biblical text is reliable and the text can be trusted. It shows that the accuracy of the text has not been compromised as it has been passed down through the ages. It shows the Bible is complete in 66 books and none of it is missing. It gives evidence from science, history, and prophecy that only God could have authored Scripture-man simply could not have done it. Once all the evidence is considered, it is apparent that the Word of God is indeed what it clearly claims to be-the very Word of God; a clear communication to people from God. It is not a book to be ignored, it is the key to blessings both in this life and in the life to come.

Only $15 The Christian's Hope - The Anchor of the Soul by John W. Schoenheit To read key sections / chapters of this book online, click here. What the bible really says about Death, Judgment, rewards, heaven, And the future life on a restored earth. God originally planned for mankind to live on earth, and His plan, though postponed by sin, will not be thwarted - it will come to pass in the future when a new earth is created.

Very importantly, The Christian's Hope shows from Scripture that each Christian will be rewarded in the coming world in direct proportion to the quality of how he lives for God in this world. If the believer's vision of the future is clear and certain, he has a much greater possibility of standing like a rock and working faithfully in service to the Lord, despite the pressures and pleasures of this world. Our Hope of a better place is to be the anchors of our souls. The Christian's Hope will become a treasured part of any believer's library, and its contents an important source of comfort, peace, and strength.

The new revised 5th edition - now available! Don't Blame God! A Biblical Answer to the Problem of Evil, Sin and Suffering by M. Graeser, J. Lynn & J. Schoenheit To read key sections / chapters of this book online, click here. Only $12 The sub-title of this 210-page book is "A Biblical Answer to the Problem of Evil, Sin, and Suffering." It addresses what is probably the number one question most people have about God: If He is a loving God, why is there such rampant human suffering? This book shows biblically that God is not at all to blame, that the cause of all suffering is sin, and it shows whose sin. It shows why Jesus Christ is the fulcrum of history in this regard, and resolves the seemingly apparent contradiction between the nature of the Old Testament God and that of the New Testament God, which, of course are the same changeless God.

Newly Revised! Only $15 The Gift of Holy Spirit: The Power To Be Like Christ by M. Graeser, J. Lynn & J. Schoenheit To read key sections / chapters of this book online, click here.

o What is the difference between Holy Spirit and holy spirit?
o Why is "holy spirit" sometimes referred to as "he" and other times referred to as an "it"?
o What are the manifestations (sometimes called "gifts") of holy spirit?
o What is speaking in tongues, and why is it valuable for Christians?
o What is "slain in the spirit"?

This book shows that each Christian is sealed with God's gift of holy spirit the very moment that he is saved. Furthermore, it shows that each Christian can manifest, outwardly show, that spirit in the nine ways spoken of in 1 Corinthians 12, including speaking in tongues. When we understand the gift of holy spirit and why God gave us such a wonderful gift, then we can take advantage of it in our lives. We can walk in the power of the holy spirit, and become more like Christ in attitude and action.

Only $8 Is There Death After Life? by M. Graeser, J. Lynn & J. Schoenheit To read key sections / chapters of this book online, click here. This 112-page book gives biblical answers to the following questions: What is death? Is death a "graduation?" Is death a friend or foe? What is the "soul?" Where are the dead? Why does God use the metaphor of "sleep" to describe death? When will the dead awaken? After laying the groundwork by answering these questions, the book deals with 14 sections of Scripture commonly used to "prove" that the "dead" are "alive." With numerous references to other Christian books and magazines, the authors show how Greek philosophers shaped the current "evangelical" doctrine of the immortality of the soul, and they briefly point out how and why the Reformation failed to reform this pagan belief which is now even more firmly entrenched in Christendom.

One God & One Lord, Reconsidering the Cornerstone of Christian Faith by M. Graeser, J. Lynn & J. Schoenheit To read key sections / chapters of this book online, click here. Hardcover $29 5 or more $24 each WHO DO YOU SAY THAT I AM? Jesus of Nazareth posed this question to his followers nearly two thousand years ago, but the question still hangs in the air, requesting an answer from every person. Indeed, the question of the identity of Jesus Christ is the most important theological issue of all human history, because he claimed to be the human Son of the one true God. [Table of Contents]

In ONE GOD & ONE LORD, the authors carefully re-examine the biblical evidence in light of modern textual research and a thorough survey of scholarly opinion. They argue that the biblically accurate answer to the question of his identity is provided by Peter, John, Mary, Paul and other first-century believers who unanimously proclaimed him to be "the Christ, the Son of the living God." Building an impressive and compelling case for the unity of the biblical testimony concerning the true humanity of Jesus, "the last Adam," the authors reveal the profound significance of the two aspects of his coming: suffering and glory. They seek a view of Christ that allows for a total appreciation of his steadfast obedience to God in the face of temptation, suffering and even a humiliating death. Vindicated by his resurrection, he entered into glory and now sits in a position of functional equality with God, analogous to the relationship of Joseph and Pharaoh in the Book of Genesis. ONE GOD & ONE LORD shows how the traditional view of Jesus Christ actually demeans both his accomplishments and his heroism by attributing to him "intrinsic deity" that essentially eliminates the possibility of either authentic temptation or failure. Because the Gospel of John is often isolated and magnified to establish and fortify orthodox Christology, the authors explore in depth the unique depiction of Christ in "the Fourth Gospel". They succeed in placing John's testimony harmoniously and understandably within the margins of the prophetic portrait of the Messiah. This portrait had already been drawn out in detail in the Hebrew Scriptures and was then fleshed out in the Synoptic Gospels. Nowhere in this portrait is it clear that Messiah was "God incarnate," "God the Son," or a pre-existent divine visitor. Appealing primarily to scriptural authority and logical reasoning, ONE GOD & ONE LORD also thoroughly examines the historical process by which traditional Christian orthodoxy came to be established. A combination of misguided Christian piety and pagan speculation are shown to be responsible for the intrusion of unbiblical concepts into basic Christian thought and doctrine. ONE GOD & ONE LORD is challenging, but profoundly encourages both Christian devotion and a deep appreciation for the integrity of the Bible. It will reward the careful attention of the critic of Christianity, the new Christian, students of the Bible, pastors, teachers and scholars.

Sex and Scripture: A Biblical Study of Proper Sexual Behavior By John W. Schoenheit To read key sections / chapters of this book online, click here. Only $8 It is not an exaggeration to say that there is no single subject that influences people as profoundly as sex. It takes up our thought life, dominates our dream life, and fills our fantasies. It has been the grand subject of literature, past and present, and now is the grand subject of our TV shows and movies as well. Hundreds of monthly magazines and thousands of books seem to cover every angle of sex and sexuality. It has been the subject of countless studies:

The list of questions goes on and on about women, men, singles, dating, relationships, married couples, and oh so much more. Interestingly, in a society where there seems to be so much honest talk and openness about sex (indeed, nothing is concealed anymore), most people's sexual relationships are less than fulfilling. The statistics indicate that the vast majority of men and women in the United States are doomed to a life of sexual frustration and failed relationships. But does that have to be the case? No, it does not.

God created mankind and in His wisdom, He gave us a book with clear commandments and guidelines about how to live our lives as the sexual beings that we are. That book is the Bible. The Bible speaks volumes about proper and improper sexual behavior. God wants people to have wonderful and fulfilling relationships. Few things have the ability to wreck a life as quickly and completely as sexuality and sexual relationships gone awry. No wonder then that the Bible has so much to say about sex and sexual behaviorâ?"as always, our loving heavenly Father shows us the right path to walk to be able to live a blessed and fulfilled life. Modern studies are uncovering facts about sexual relationships that the Bible has espoused for millennia. Too bad that the studies often involve real people who are cut and scarred from broken promises, busted relationships and lost love, much of which could have been avoided if the words in the Bible had been known and followed.

Sex and Scripture covers, in clear everyday language, what the Bible says about sexual subjects. Topics covered include abstinence, marriage, adultery, prostitution, homosexuality, lust, pornography, masturbation, and boundaries in relationships. The Bible has answers for mankind's questions and promises God's blessings for those who seek, find, and obey.
