Foreword by Willard Swartley "We considered him stricken by God, but . . ." Did God really pour out his wrath against sin on his Son to satisfy his own need for justice? Or did God-in-Christ forgive the world even as it unleashed its wrath against him? Was Christ's sacrifice the ultimate fulfillment of God's demand for redemptive bloodshed? Or was the cross God's great "No" to that whole system? This distinctively panoramic volume offers fresh perspectives on these and other difficult questions reemerging throughout the church today.

"We have just ended a century dominated by a multitude of failed prophecies from those who looked to be raptured out of a collapsing world at any moment. The dawning of a new millennium will hopefully cause the Church to pause and consider whether these discredited prophets should be hooted off the stage. Victory in Jesus: The Bright Hope of Postmillennialism offers a sober and faithful examination of Scripture while clearly demonstrating that Christians have every reason to expect the victory of Jesus and the triumph of the gospel as the Great Commission is fulfilled on earth. The first three chapters (edited from lectures delivered by Dr. Bahnsen), offer a simple and easy to understand presentation of eschatology in general and especially postmillennial eschatology. These chapters are foundational and provide an excellent start for the person who wants a survey of the topic without too much technical or theological language. The last two chapters build on this foundation and layout a more advanced and in-depth explanation of the postmillennial position"--Back cover.

My book Reigning In Vicory will encourage the readers that inspite of issues and challenges they face in life they can still Reign In Victory. It requires a mindset and a determined spirit to make a difference in life. Reigning In Victory does not mean that on this journey of life we will not have troubles, problems, disappointments, trials, persecution and set backs in our lives. However, inspite of all the issues and challenges that ones life maybe confronted with it is not what happen to you that really matters but what really matters is the way you handle what happen to you. The way we think has a lot to do with the way we live. If you think you can do a thing, then you can do it. Also, if you think you can't do a thing you will eventually talk yourself out of even trying to complete the task. If your thinking is not in line with fulfilling your God given purpose you will most likely settle for existing instead of thriving to be all that God wants you to be and enjoying this abundant life that we have been given. Reigning in Victory will require one to live on purpose to complete the assignments given unto us by God to be world changers and make a difference in the lives of people everywhere. This all begins when one change the way they think and then their whole world around them changes. Learn to see the glass as half full instead of seeing it as half empty. The way you think and your attitude will determine your altitude. This book encourges the reader to do just that. I can do all things through Christ which strengthers me. That is my mindset and I want to help others to change the way they think and Reign In Victory.
