Death is a part of life . . . People have been trying to comprehend death for millennia-nearly every culture known to humanity has put forth some theory of what happens to a person after life. But who knows what really happens? Not one of us alive today has experienced death firsthand. Although the Bible has much to say on the subject of death, there are several conflicting views of the afterlife. Which one is actually biblical? And which view does science support? Beyond Death's Door examines the Bible and science for the truth about the afterlife--and discovers that one of the first lies told humanity has been taught as gospel truth for thousands of years.

But that doesn't mean that those answers can't be found. Come along on a journey to discover not only the wonders of life but, even more remarkable, a love that is beyond imagination.

A theme that threads its way throughout this book is the law of love and freedom. Simply put, "There is no love without freedom." God, therefore, is not only God of love but God of freedom. He gave everything through Jesus to restore our freedom. This helps us make sense of our experiences of suffering and death Don Straub, a counselor who has also been a teacher and pastor, shares his life experiences in his work in Canada and Africa, being married three times, losing two wives to death, and being a father. He also shares his analysis of Scripture and scientific research to help readers move closer to God, enjoy spiritual growth, manage emotions, and cultivate healthy relationships. The "bridges to freedom" he highlights include authenticity, grace, healthy self-love, healthy self-talk, self-awareness, gratitude, assertiveness, and forgiveness. Move closer to the Lord, get past your mistakes, and learn life lessons with the essential bridges described in this book.Written by: Don Straub

Changed is the the book you've been waiting for―and didn't even know it! It's a book about cold, hard realities (you might say R-rated). It's not a work of fiction, because hearsay is not allowed in the court of life. Eleven writers testify about their lives and their truths; their messes and their messages. Read their stories and find out why it makes so much sense to give Jesus a try. Changed is targeted as a youth sharing book, and youth will certainly identify with these stories, but anyone who reads them will be moved and inspired.

Life is unfair. We learn that as children. And the truth is it doesn’t always get better. Do you ever wonder why some people seem to do so well in spite of suffering? Why some people find their life purpose through tragedy? When you look at your own life—it’s just a mess—so how do they do it? Changed 4 Life will show you how. Read the incredible stories of eight people who faced the same problems you’re facing right now, and find your story written between the lines. Their stories will show you how it can be done. Their stories will give you hope. Changed 4 Life will remind you that no matter who you are, where you come from, or what kind of mess you’re in today, God has a special purpose for your life. Changed 4 Life is about you and how God desires to change you today—and for eternity. Change is possible because it is all about God. The God who created you. The God who has a purpose for your life. The God who loves you unconditionally. This is the fourth and final book in the Changed series.

One Lie Breeds Another That first lie Satan told in Eden--the one that said God was actually a selfish liar--has spawned a multitude of untruths about who God is and what His feelings toward us really are. The human perception of God has been askew ever since, and we've struggled to relate to this God we don't really (want to) know. Naturally, since our view of God is distorted, our attitudes and behavior are rebellious--perceptions change our thoughts, thoughts influence our feelings, and feelings determine attitudes and behavior. Herb Montgomery goes straight to the root of the problem and sweeps aside the misperceptions of God and His character that cause us to spurn the only one who truly loves us. Some of Christianity's long-held, though biblically unfounded, views are confronted--God's true attitude toward pain and suffering, where guilt comes from, and what His forgiveness accomplishes. And the question that plagues every human heart is irrevocably resolved: If God really loves us, why does He allow horrible things to happen? Written by: Herb Montgomery
