Strange Fire Indeed: A Charismatic Response to John MacArthur’s Strange Fire by Gerard Laudat (21 Reviews)    Price verified 20 minutes ago

In this revolutionary work poised for a Second Reformation, Laudat draws out new definitions of God, miracles, apostleship, regeneration, sanctification, revival, prophecy, spiritual gifts, Spirit-baptism, evangelism, Pentecost, visions, election, creation, time, matter, the human soul, the Incarnation, the Holy Spirit, testing the spirits, the Fall of Man, and even theodicy. Consider just one example of Laudat's radical reforms. Every leader operates on a theory of how best to run the church in the aftermath of the 1st-century. What if God regards such theories as a man-made impertinence typically disqualifying us for revival? What if the Galatian epistle is exhorting us to simply wait upon Him for clear revelations that both unveil His will and revive us? If so, can a new Christian test and verify such revelations? Boldly tackling the hard questions, Laudat proposes new answers as startling as they are unprecedented.

Kingdom Fundamentals: What the Kingdom of God Means and What it Means for You | A Thorough and Biblical Exposition of the Kingdom of Heaven as ... by Sebastien Richard (48 Reviews)    Price verified 6 hours ago

How Much of The Kingdom of God Are YOU Experiencing? A Bit? Some? Not Enough? Many believers lead lives of unavowed defeat, quiet desperation, and long for more in their lives and walk with God. The victory, fire, living waters, and abundant life they were promised, somehow elude them. Has Christianity failed them? Has the Church dropped the ball? Is there something more? Something... better? The answer to all these questions is an emphatic yes! The Kingdom of God was the central theme of Jesus' teachings. And yet, it has been (and still is) one of the most neglected and misunderstood teachings in Church history. Just as it was in Jesus' days, many are still bound by the 'doctrines and commandments of men' today (Mark 7:7, Matthew 15:9). The results of this Kingdom neglect, which are found in most denominations today and in the lives of their congregants, are disquieting at best.

When it was Dark by Guy Thorne (33 Reviews)    Price verified 6 hours ago

"I, Joseph of Arimathea, took the body of Jesus, the Nazarene, from the tomb where it was first laid and hid it in this place." A press report on this discovery just outside Jerusalem says: "There now seems no shadow of doubt that the disappearance of the body of Christ from the first tomb is accounted for, and the Resurrection as told in the Gospels did not take place. Joseph of Arimathea here confesses that he stole away the body, probably in order to spare the Disciples and friends of the dead Teacher, with whom he was in sympathy, the shame and misery of the final end to their hopes." This is proof, welcomed by many, that Jesus was not who he claimed to be, the Son of God, but was nothing more than a good teacher who was treated cruelly by those in authority. Churches quickly empty. Over a year, society begins to break down around a world with no traditional standard to live by.

Jolie Gentil The Mysteries Continue: Books 10 and 11 and a Fun Novella (Jolie Gentil Cozy Mystery Series) by Elaine L Orr (20 Reviews)    Price verified one minute ago

The Mysteries Continue Life goes on in Ocean Alley, but change is underfoot. Unexpected Resolution opens with a surprise guest at Jolie and Scoobie's wedding, and an unidentified body in the Ocean Alley Hospital emergency room. Jolie has to help Scoobie dig through family skeletons -- and solve a murder.. The Twain Does Meet is a novella that relays the story of Jolie and Scoobie becoming parents. While there is lots to discover, it's not a traditional cozy mystery. It didn't seem right to combine such a joyous even with a corpse. In fact, it's called it a Jolie and Scoobie novella. The series moves ahead three years with Underground in Ocean Alley. As a mom of toddlers, Jolie Gentil has sworn off butting into other people's business. To those who know her, it sounds as far-fetched as finding used bubble gum on Mars. Nothing could drag Jolie into solving crimes. And then a request for help comes from the most unlikely source...
