Most evangelical Christians believe that those people who are not saved before they die will be punished in hell forever. But is this what the Bible truly teaches? Do Christians need to rethink their understanding of hell? In the late twentieth century, a growing number of evangelical theologians, biblical scholars, and philosophers began to reject the traditional doctrine of eternal conscious torment in hell in favor of a minority theological perspective called conditional immortality. This view contends that the unsaved are resurrected to face divine judgment, just as Christians have always believed, but due to the fact that immortality is only given to those who are in Christ, the unsaved do not exist forever in hell. Instead, they face the punishment of the "second death"--an end to their conscious existence. This volume brings together excerpts from a variety of well-respected evangelical thinkers, including John Stott, John Wenham, and E. Earl Ellis, as they articulate the biblical, theological, and philosophical arguments for conditionalism. These readings will give thoughtful Christians strong evidence that there are indeed compelling reasons for rethinking hell.

A historical tour de force, The Invention of the Jewish People offers a groundbreaking account of Jewish and Israeli history. Exploding the myth that there was a forced Jewish exile in the first century at the hands of the Romans, Israeli historian Shlomo Sand argues that most modern Jews descend from converts, whose native lands were scattered across the Middle East and Eastern Europe. In this iconoclastic work, which spent nineteen weeks on the Israeli bestseller list and won the coveted Aujourd'hui Award in France, Sand provides the intellectual foundations for a new vision of Israel's future.

This book explores the similar attitudes and methods behind modern society's treatment of animals and the way humans have often treated each other, most notably during the Holocaust. The book's epigraph and title are from "The Letter Writer," a story by the Yiddish writer and Nobel Laureate Isaac Bashevis Singer: "In relation to them, all people are Nazis; for the animals it is an eternal Treblinka." The first part of the book (Chapter 1-2) describes the emergence of human beings as the master species and their domination over the rest of the inhabitants of the earth. The second part (Chapters 3-5) examines the industrialization of slaughter (of both animals and humans) that took place in modern times. The last part of the book (Chapters 6-8) profiles Jewish and German animal advocates on both sides of the Holocaust, including Isaac Bashevis Singer himself. The Foreword is by Lucy Rosen Kaplan, former attorney for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and daughter of Holocaust survivors. Her foreword, the Preface and Afterword, excerpts from the book, chapter synopses, and an international list of supporters can be found on the book's website at: www.powerfulbook.com

The third edition of Eternal Humans and the Finite Gods is a comprehensive book that brings the reader into journeys within oneself and beyond. It introduces a mother and daughter who genuinely desire truth, and they first utilized religion to find it. What should have been a path of awakening had taken them down a rabbit hole of diminished choice, knowledge, and freedom. This culminated in Talea's mother being used as a tool to spread the "truth" via prophecies she received, and Talea was being groomed toward a similar path. It took great effort and insight to climb out of that hole and stop the manipulation, which Talea shows in her realizations step-by-step. Popular books derived from otherworldly sources rarely if ever critique the gods or angelic guides of those messages. If criticism is found, people often turn to another religion ruled by similar entities. Talea's book is unique in that she not only analyzes her mother's prophecies, the Bible's, and various other sources, but she also brings us outside of mainstream spiritual beliefs to a more complete picture. Figuring out who was spiritually directing Talea and her mother and the reason why were pivotal steps to gaining back themselves. They have learned how to separate truths from lies, which religions and New Age spiritualities are notorious in combining. Research into the roots of Judeo-Christianity shows notable evidence in Egypt, Sumer, Anatolia (pre-Turkey), and Greece. Talea uncovers historical and sometimes otherworldly identities of Judaism's patriarchs and Christianity's demigods, and she uses archaeological and cultural evidence as support. The transition from Judaism to Christianity was feasible because their mainly similar factions interweave almost seamlessly--along with purposeful division--due to a greater agenda. Theories about an Apocalypse and a New Earth are key topics for our current time, and real-world politics play a prevalent role toward a one world order "under God." Talea argues that science and religion share multiple similarities, especially in relation to scientific ideas hindered by fractals and quantum mechanics. Is there really a realm based upon eternal life without death and reincarnation? She says "Yes," showing how she came to that conclusion with investigation into theories about other dimensions and universes. This third and final edition goes where few books have ventured--revealing rational explanations for abstract concepts such as a higher self, transfiguration and ascension, "pole shifts," and the expansion of the cosmos contrary to the religiosity and unrealism perceived in the New Age community. Talea seeks knowledge toward the very beginning of existence; she invites the reader to stretch one's mind and see how our physical reality emerged from a much larger system whose foundation is neither chaos nor a God. Finally, Talea expounds upon key aspects of one's wonderfully multifaceted self, which includes layers of energy "matter" that we can individually experience. With the extraordinary knowledge presented in this book, we can arguably gain more security and sense of self to empower us more than any prevalent religion or spirituality can. We have more abilities and choices than what we have been led to believe, and we can choose our own paths in life, including the afterlife, which this book also explores.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER #1 bestselling author Lisa Scottoline offers a sweeping and shattering epic of historical fiction fueled by shocking true events, the tale of a love triangle that unfolds in the heart of Rome...in the creeping shadow of fascism. What war destroys, only love can heal. Elisabetta, Marco, and Sandro grow up as the best of friends despite their differences. Elisabetta is a feisty beauty who dreams of becoming a novelist; Marco the brash and athletic son in a family of professional cyclists; and Sandro a Jewish mathematics prodigy, kind-hearted and thoughtful, the son of a lawyer and a doctor. Their friendship blossoms to love, with both Sandro and Marco hoping to win Elisabetta's heart. But in the autumn of 1937, all of that begins to change as Mussolini asserts his power, aligning Italy's Fascists with Hitler's Nazis and altering the very laws that govern Rome. In time, everything that the three hold dear--their families, their homes, and their connection to one another--is tested in ways they never could have imagined. As anti-Semitism takes legal root and World War II erupts, the threesome realizes that Mussolini was only the beginning. The Nazis invade Rome, and with their occupation come new atrocities against the city's Jews, culminating in a final, horrific betrayal. Against this backdrop, the intertwined fates of Elisabetta, Marco, Sandro, and their families will be decided, in a heartbreaking story of both the best and the worst that the world has to offer. Unfolding over decades, Eternal is a tale of loyalty and loss, family and food, love and war--all set in one of the world's most beautiful cities at its darkest moment. This moving novel will be forever etched in the hearts and minds of readers.
