DOWNLOAD EBOOKPete Greig, the acclaimed author of Red Moon Rising, has written his most intensely personal and honest account yet in God on Mute, a book born out of his wife Samie's fight for her life and diagnosis of a debilitating brain tumor. Greig asks the timeless questions of what it means to suffer and to pray and to suffer through the silence because your prayers seem unanswered. This silence, Greig relates, is the hardest thing. The world collapses. Then all goes quiet. Words can't explain, don't fit, won't work. People avoid you and don't know what to say. So you turn to Him and you pray. You need Him more than ever before. But somehow . . . even God Himself seems on mute. In this heart-searching, honest, and deeply profound book, Pete Greig looks at the hard side of prayer, how to respond when there seem to be no answers, and how to cope with those who seek to interpret our experience for us. Here is a story of faith, hope, and love beyond all understanding.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKNow with a new afterword by Pope emeritus Benedict XVI! In a time when technology penetrates our lives in so many ways and materialism exerts such a powerful influence over us, Cardinal Robert Sarah presents a bold book about the strength of silence. The modern world generates so much noise, he says, that seeking moments of silence has become both harder and more necessary than ever before. Silence is the indispensable doorway to the divine, explains the cardinal in this profound conversation with Nicolas Diat. Within the hushed and hallowed walls of the La Grande Chartreux, the famous Carthusian monastery in the French Alps, Cardinal Sarah addresses the following questions: Can those who do not know silence ever attain truth, beauty, or love? Do not wisdom, artistic vision, and devotion spring from silence, where the voice of God is heard in the depths of the human heart? After the international success of God or Nothing, Cardinal Sarah seeks to restore to silence its place of honor and importance. "Silence is more important than any other human work," he says, "for it expresses God. The true revolution comes from silence; it leads us toward God and others so as to place ourselves humbly and generously at their service."

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAn "elegant and eloquent" (New York Times) exploration of the frontiers of noise and silence, and the growing war between them. Between iPods, music-blasting restaurants, earsplitting sports stadiums, and endless air and road traffic, the place for quiet in our lives grows smaller by the day. In Pursuit of Silence gives context to our increasingly desperate sense that noise pollution is, in a very real way, an environmental catastrophe. Traveling across the country and meeting and listening to a host of incredible characters, including doctors, neuroscientists, acoustical engineers, monks, activists, educators, marketers, and aggrieved citizens, George Prochnik examines why we began to be so loud as a society, and what it is that gets lost when we can no longer find quiet.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn this groundbreaking new book by Gordon and Sandra Lawrence, the complex mysteries of Revelation are divided into SEVEN BASIC STAGES in an attempt to provide the reader with a comprehensive view of past history and future prophecy. It is the author's hope to paint a realistic picture of the second coming of Christ, and to prepare the next generation of Christians for inevitable persecution and unprecedented global crisis. Section 1, Chapters 1-4 provide critical background information: Israel, The Apple of God's eye; The Spirit of Amalek; Daniel, Man of Prophecy; The Olivet Discourse; Section 2, Chapters 1-7 outline the book of Revelation as follows: The Beginning of Birth Pangs; The Tribulation; Gathering His Church; The Wrath of God Begins; The Day of Atonement; The Millennium; The New Jerusalem; Lawrence addresses what he calls 'the great theological debate of the 21st century': the issue of the Pre-Tribulation Rapture vs the Pre-Wrath rapture of the Church. The Day of Atonement chapter provides unique scriptural insight called: The Journey of the Mighty Angel. The author describes this book as: expositional, encyclopedic and editorial. The reader will delight, perhaps for the first time, in learning the systematic progression of events that break the code of end-time mystery. Be prepared to learn new truth from the pages of scripture. A great tool for small group study!

DOWNLOAD EBOOKMany Christians think of end times prophecy as a gigantic, intimidating puzzle -- difficult to piece together and impossible to figure out. But every puzzle can be solved if you approach it the right way. Paul Benware compares prophecy to a picture puzzle. Putting the edge pieces together first builds the 'framework' that makes it easier to fit the other pieces in their place. According to Benware, the framework for eschatology is the biblical covenants. He begins his comprehensive survey by explaining the major covenants. Then he discusses several different interpretations of end times prophecy. Benware digs into the details of the Rapture, the Great Tribulation, the judgements and resurrections, and the millennial kingdom. But he also adds a unique, personal element to the study, answering questions as: -Why study bible prophecy? -What difference does it make if I'm premillenial or amillenial? If what the Bible says about the future puzzles you, Understanding End Times Prophecy will help you put together the pieces and see the big picture.
