People in the Bible: Philip
Description
Evangelism.
What immediately springs to mind when you read that word? Whatever reaction you may have, evangelism is becoming increasingly dangerous in an apparently post-secular Western world, yet the church has a continuing mandate to be a witness and to share the great message of the gospel.
This book looks at the gospel adventures of Philip the Evangelist and draws lessons that will encourage, enliven and challenge you. It will ultimately also inspire you to lift up the sword of the Spirit boldly and, for the sake of lost souls, enter into the evangelistic fray.

People in the Bible: Judah
Description
A book about Judah? Maybe you don’t even remember the man himself. Or, if you do, you may feel that his story is a very unpleasant one, one you’d rather not dwell on. But perhaps you also remember him pleading for the life of his half-brother Benjamin. Can you read that part of his story without being deeply moved—perhaps even to tears? And the tribe of Judah: why did that become so important in the Bible? And who is it who is ‘the Lion of the tribe of Judah’? In this book, Paul E. Brown discovers many surprising and helpful truths as he reviews the frequently ignored life and legacy of Judah.

People in the Bible: Elisha
Description
While the life of Elijah is familiar to most Christians, the mission and ministry of his successor, Elisha, is not so well known—probably because of the great drama that surrounded Elijah’s service for the Lord. The majority of Elijah’s miracles were performed in the context of death and destruction, whereas the miracles of Elisha were mainly to do with healing and restoration.
It could therefore be argued that Elijah was primarily a prophet of judgement, whereas his successor was more a prophet of grace. If this is so, the story of Elisha’s life is very relevant to the times in which we live. Elisha prophesied in Israel during the ninth century BC as a shining light amid the darkness of idolatry and unbelief which prevailed at the time. We would therefore do well to follow his noble example as we seek to be witnesses for the Lord in our generation.

People in the Bible: Elijah
Description
When Elijah lived in Israel in 900 BC, truth was being compromised and the people had departed from the worship of the one true God. It was a multi-faith society. There was immorality at the highest level. Toleration trumped truth. True prophets were being persecuted. It was much like Western society today. What can Christians do in such a spiritual and moral climate? Elijah is our great example and inspiration as we dare to contend for the truth, even taking on the religious establishment if necessary. What could be more timely or relevant for the Christian church at the present time?

People in the Bible: Caleb
Description
Caleb is one of the forgotten heroes of the Bible. One of the twelve spies sent out by Moses into Canaan, he was commended by God for his faithfulness. While others were fearful, he believed they could conquer the land. He remained faithful throughout forty years in the wilderness, until he and Joshua alone entered the land, as God had promised, with the younger generation. His story thus takes us all the way from Egypt to Canaan. Even in old age, he proved himself a courageous warrior, famously demanding, ‘Give me this mountain’, and a generous father, giving freely to his daughter. He is an inspiration to us all.

People in the Bible: Barnabas
Description
If Christians were to vote for their favourite Bible character, Barnabas would surely be in the top ten. Most of us feel drawn to this warm-hearted disciple, who so wonderfully lives up to his name, ‘Son of Encouragement’. In these character studies based on passages in Acts, Robert Dale helps us to appreciate and encourages us to imitate this wonderful man, who himself is a reflection of a still greater Man, our Lord Jesus Christ, the greatest Encourager of all.

People in the Bible: Abraham
Description
Abraham was called from a pagan background to become a spiritual catalyst in God’s plan for the salvation of the world. But what kind of man was he? The Bible describes several important experiences that he went through and how in most of them he revealed that he was the friend of God. Some of those experiences were pleasant for him, whereas others were very difficult. Yet in all of them he has left an example for those who, like him, are travelling to the city that God has prepared for those who love him.
In this book, Malcolm Maclean considers those events in the life of Abraham and explains their relevance for believers in Jesus today.

Reclaiming the Rapture: Restoring the Doctrine of the Gathering of the Commonwealth of Israel
End-times Bible prophecy is like a 1000-piece jigsaw puzzle partially done. Many godly people have come before us establishing the borders of the puzzle. Parts of the faces and landscape are taking form, yet without the box cover showing the finished product, no one really knows how it ought to look when it is entirely assembled. The timing of the rapture is a puzzle-piece incorrectly placed by many mainstream theologians.
Authors Dr. Douglas Hamp and Chris Steinle take a fresh look at the rapture based on extensive Bible prophecy and a literal interpretation of the Scriptures. It’s time to rethink God’s purpose for the rapture: Is it an escape or a preparation for something greater? The rapture was prophesied from Genesis to Revelation. Why have dozens of rapture prophecies been overlooked by mainstream theology? Explore the ancient texts and discover God’s clear and consistent revelation of end time events.
* Explore dozens of rapture verses.
* Understand the logic behind Paul’s eschatology.
* Learn why the Day of Lord includes God’s indignation, the rapture, and Second Coming.
* Enjoy dramatic vignettes from the Millennium Chronicles that bring Bible prophecies to life.
* Consider the connection between the rapture and the redemption of the body.
* Rethink the Gathering of Israel and how it applies to the Church.
* See why Paul insisted the dead must rise first.
* Know the signs preceding Christ’s return.
* Includes four charts and three vignettes to showcase the authors’ conclusions.

On wings of prayer Praying the ACTS way (On Wings of Prayer)
Constructing a prayer life is often like putting a puzzle together without the box’s cover. Having a picture makes all the difference. Bible prayers create a model of what prayer can be: exciting, fulfilling and powerful. Using the acrostic ACTS makes prayer memorable, interesting, and focused. Learn to pray following this simple outline utilized by men and women who experience the transforming power of prayer.
Reggie Weems
Reggie Weems was born in Granite City, Illinois, USA. Converted at seventeen, he worked as an Egyptian linguist for the US government before serving as Senior Pastor of two churches for thirty years. Reggie both rejoices in and struggles with the discipline of prayer. It is for that reason that he emphasizes it, practices it and encourages others to join him in the wonder of communion with God. He is married to Teana, his childhood sweetheart.
Corrupting the Image Angels, Aliens, and the Antichrist Revealed (Corrupting the Image)
The prophecy of Genesis 3:15 states the serpent will one day mix his seed with humanity as a counterfeit of the Messiah. Jesus told us that the last days will be like the days of Noah when fallen angels mixed their seed with humanity. In the Book of Daniel we read that “they” will again mingle with the seed of men. That day of fulfillment is now!
A thrilling read for the detective-at-heart!
William C. Harvey, M.S., Author
Absolutely astonishing! Corrupting the Image provides a biblical, scientific, and enlightening way of looking at the “big picture” of the end times that is so logical it will blow your mind.
Dr Scott A. Collie D.C.
A thrilling read! Douglas brings together, perhaps for the first time ever, a comprehensive explanation of how the Antichrist will be a genetic counterfeit of the virgin birth. This book is at the cutting edge of research and is written so that the average person can grasp the sinister plan that is unfolding before our very eyes.
Dr. Kenton Beshore, President of World Bible Society
Startling! This book takes what the Bible says and magnifies it so you can see clearly how genetics is vital to opening the door for the return of the Nephilim. No matter where you stand on biblical eschatology this book will affect you. Read it.
Dr. J. David Lehman, Bible Researcher and Lecturer

Chafer’s Systematic Theology
Written by Lewis Sperry Chafer, the founding president of Dallas Theological Seminary and long-time editor of Bibliotheca Sacra, this is the first dispensational, premillenial systematic theology ever published. It is a complete, unabridged systematic theology meaning it covers a lot of ground that many earlier theologies did not, such as ecclesiology (e.g., the doctrine of the universal church, the church’s rule of life), angelology (e.g., the relationship between Satan and sin), and typology. This is truly one of the heavyweight works of the evangelical movement, very much in demand today.
