DOWNLOAD EBOOKWith evil mounting around the world, God's plan for the Church begins. World-wide persecution of Christianity grows, but a clarion call sounds for the Army of God to rise up from the ashes and unite within the body of Christ as one spiritual force against the approaching storm. The Lord raises up young men and women with solemn faces and heavy hearts-battle-arrayed and ready for war. Their swords are sharp and their arrows pierce the darkness and bring forth light into all dark places. He pours His Spirit upon the old and the young, and they quickly come up. They bind together and look toward Heaven. As one, they kneel before the altar and unleash thunderous supplication before the throne room of God. They are of a multitude of all races, nationalities, and beliefs but Jesus Christ, their Lord, binds them together. Their differences do not matter. They are spirit-filled and move of one accord. The darkness shall not touch them. Their lights shine forth into the darkness, and the darkness cowers before the name of Jesus Christ on their lips. The darkness seeks to steal, kill, and destroy, but the Army of God prepares to die-there is power in death-and there is no other choice. The time is now. In nearly every book on end-time prophecy to date, the story begins with the rapture and tells of God's plan for the end-after Christians have been taken up into Heaven. What if the plan started before the rapture? God calls His believers to the front lines in preparation of the approaching spiritual storm. Christians are living in one of the most pivotal times in human history-at the climax of the story for God's plan for the Church! With revelations and personal prophecies backed by scripture, A Voyage with God calls God's followers to rise up in fulfillment of biblical prophecy as the race toward the end begins.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKChristopher Columbus returned to Europe in the final days of 1500, ending his third voyage to the Indies not in triumph but in chains. Seeking to justify his actions and protect his rights, he began to compile biblical texts and excerpts from patristic writings and medieval theology in a manuscript known as the Book of Prophecies. This unprecedented collection was designed to support his vision of the discovery of the Indies as an important event in the process of human salvation - a first step toward the liberation of Jerusalem and the Holy Land from Muslim domination. This work is part of a twelve-volume series produced by U.C.L.A.'s Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies which involved the collaboration of some forty scholars over the course of fourteen years. In this volume of the series, Roberto Rusconi has written a complete historical introduction to the Book of Prophecies, describing the manuscript's history and analyzing its principal themes. His edition of the documents, the only modern one, includes a complete critical apparatus and detailed commentary, while the facing-page English translations allow Columbus's work to be appreciated by the general public and scholars alike.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn 2002, while touring North America with his wife in an RV, John Suk -- lifelong Christian, longtime pastor, and noted leader in the Christian Reformed Church -- experienced a crippling crisis of faith. He emerged from that dark time with a strange new gift -- doubt. In Not Sure Suk takes readers on an eyes-wide-open, deeply personal voyage through the past and present of Christian belief, reexamining Christian faith -- in his own life and in fifteen centuries of Christian history -- through a skeptic's eyes. He exposes major pitfalls of modern Christian movements and questions what he considers to be faulty paradigms: the "personal relationship with Jesus," the "health-and-wealth gospel," and traditional ethnicity-based belief systems. In the end he is left clinging to what is for him a truer, wiser kind of faith in Jesus Christ -- faith that struggles and lives with doubt.
