The Resurrection accounts of Jesus in the Gospels are the most dramatic and impactful stories ever told. One similarity unites each testimony--that none of his most loyal and steadfast followers could "see" it was him, back from the dead. The reason for this is at the very foundation of the Christian faith. She turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize that it was Jesus. (John 20:14) Hope in the Time of Fear is a book that unlocks the meaning of Jesus's resurrection for readers. Easter is considered the most solemn and important holiday for Christians. It is a time of spiritual rebirth and a time of celebrating the physical rebirth of Jesus after three days in the tomb. For his devoted followers, nothing could prepare them for the moment they met the resurrected Jesus. Each failed to recognize him. All of them physically saw him and yet did not spiritually truly see him. It was only when Jesus reached out and invited them to see who he truly was that their eyes were open. Here the central message of the Christian faith is revealed in a way only Timothy Keller could do it--filled with unshakable belief, piercing insight, and a profound new way to look at a story you think you know. After reading this book, the true meaning of Easter will no longer be unseen.

Have you ever found yourself involved in a conversation about the idea of "once saved, always saved"-one that turned into a religious argument? Saved and Sure, Safe and Secure seeks to demonstrate from the Scriptures that a born-again Christian, once saved, can have assurance that he or she is saved and safe for eternity. Writing in simple terms and plain language in order to communicate Bible doctrine to the average person, author John David Martin affirms the doctrine of eternal security of believers in Christ and addresses common objections to the teaching of "once saved, always saved." Whether you believe in eternal security or think you can "lose it," Pastor Martin hopes to help you strengthen your faith and challenge your thinking on the subject. Many religious people who believe in God and profess to know Christ as their personal Savior still struggle with doubts concerning their salvation. If you are worried, you can put your fears to rest; this study can help. Aiming to encourage and uplift believers, this theological study explores the topic of eternal security, analyzing the biblical truths that teach and reinforce the certainty of this concept.
