Understanding Creation : Answers To Questions On Faith And Science
$31.49Add to cart“For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities – his eternal power and divine nature – have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse” (Romans 1:20, NIV).
For centuries, Western culture operated within the context of a Christian worldview. For this reason, the answer to any question was anchored in the belief that God exists and is the Creator and Sustainer of all, and that the Bible is a trustworthy revelation of God. Many of the founders of modern science, including Copernicus, Galileo, Kepler, Pascal, Boyle, Newton, and Halley, were believers of those central concepts.
During the past 200 years, our culture, particularly the scientific community, has been moving away from the Christian worldview, and assuming a naturalistic stance that discounts any supernatural intervention in the origin, functioning, and maintenance of our world. As a result, two opposing philosophical views contend for allegiance today.
Understanding Creation articulates twenty questions about faith and science that Christians often encounter. The co-editors have assembled an international group of experienced scientists, researchers, and thinkers who provide thoughtful answers to these questions. They all share several convictions: the biblical record is an essential component of Christian doctrine; Christian faith and empirical science can work fruitfully together; and our comprehension of truth is progressive

Annies Trust
$8.67Add to cartAs she fights to save her baby’s life, Annie wonders if she will ever move beyond the fear that holds her captive, or the anger that demands, “Where is God in all this?”
The once bright, effervescent Annie Hawkins is forever changed by a devastating chain of events: a raging fire that destroys the Pownells’ estate in western New York, leaving disfiguring scars on her heart as well as her hand; a terrifying boat ride to New Orleans; and an abduction at the hands of a ruthless man. After months of uncertainty, Annie eventually finds herself in Independence, Missouri, where she reunites with her best friend Serenity Cunard.
After Annie marries Ned Ward, freed slave and itinerant preacher, her life seems to settle down and she looks forward to becoming a mother. But trouble soon finds its way into their home and marriage as Ned’s commitment to working on the Underground Railroad threatens to derail the fragile trust Annie has built up.
As Annie sinks into depression, Ned gently reminds her that “there’s no such thing as luck for God’s children. Just as an earthly parent doesn’t leave the guidance of his offspring to chance, so our loving heavenly Father doesn’t guide His children by the fickle finger of fate.”
Annie’s Trust is the heartwarming story of a young woman who wrestles through grief, loss, fear, and anger before arriving at a place where she is willing to trust her future to her heavenly Father. -

In The Shadow Of The Mob
$2.77Add to cartKeep your mouth shut, Carl told himself, trying to act normal around his mom and his brother. The secret knowledge that his dad’s life might be in danger burned hotly in his brain, and as his dad disappeared down the front steps, Carl knew there was a serious possibility he would never see his father again.
Carl had been raised to keep secrets. If he didn’t, either his dad would land in jail, or his dad’s gruesome death would be plastered on the cover of the New York Daily News. That’s because Carl’s dad was a member of the Italian Mafia.
At first, living in the shadow of the mob didn’t seem so bad. Sure, Carl’s parents didn’t get along, and his extended family treated them all like outcasts. But Carl and his family had practically everything that money could buy . . . until his dad made a million-dollar mistake that would change their lives forever.
Of course, no one but God knew that the change would turn out to be the best thing that ever happened to them-even though the enemy had other plans.

Lewis C Sheafe Apostle To Black America
$34.49Add to cart“My heart’s desire and prayer is that this message may go to my people all over the United States.” Lewis C. Sheafe.Born just as the Civil War began, Lewis Sheafe grew to manhood at a pivotal moment in American history. But instead of racial equality, the nation offered its freed slaves further oppression and injustice. Sheafe strong-willed, dynamic, and seemingly tireless had but two main objectives: uplift his people spiritually and socially, and consistently adhere to biblical principle in all aspects of life.His thirst for truth led him first to the Baptists, where he became both an eloquent minister and a prominent leader of the Black community. Then his poor health led him to Battle Creek Sanitarium, where he encountered Seventh-day Adventism. Sheafe saw in the Adventist message the tenets of race relations he already championed, and he embraced it wholeheartedly. He was sent to lead the Black work in Washington, D.C., in 1902, and his evangelistic campaigns drew standing-room-only crowds of both Black and White listeners. But during his turbulent years of Adventist ministry, he and church leaders could not agree on how to apply biblical principles of racial equality. The conflict eventually proved fatal to his ties with the denomination. In this gripping biography Douglas Morgan pieces together the life of this forgotten leader whose story sheds light on the reason that no lasting, separate Black Adventist denomination ever formed.

Lydia A Story Of Philippi
$24.67Add to cartLydia was only the first of many converts to the Christian faith in Philippi. The new religion attracted quite an assortment of individuals–slaves, masters, Jews, Gentiles, wealthy, and penniless. Yet the believers were supposed to be unified in Christ–equal–no matter their class, gender, or race. Easier said than done! Those in the volatile first-century Greco-Roman society sometimes got along better with the new believers than they did with each other. Driven by personality conflicts and misguided ambition, heated quarrels splintered the group into warring factions. Only God could salvage this wreckage. Trudy J. Morgan-Cole’s skillful touch transforms the New Testament narrative of Lydia and the people of Philippi into a vibrant story of challenges and triumphs. You know, of course, the dual problem and solution to their irreconcilable situation: “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus . . .”
