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.

Searching for life's meaning is universal. Every culture in every era has search for truth; truth that answers life's big questions; truth that provides significance for daily living; truth that is certain and beyond doubt. But truth has come on hard times. Have you heard somebody say it, “You have your truth and I have mine.” Really? People agree that it is not wise to step out of a tenth-story window or eat certain types of mushrooms. In fact, science and technology are built upon the proposition that truth is "out there" waiting to be discovered. God's Truth sets forth the idea that there is truth not only in the material world but also in the social and spiritual realms; truth that is foundational to personal and social health; truth that transforms lives. Bestselling author George R. Knight explains the Bible’s major themes in a manner that is both clear and brief. As such, it not only provides a concise introduction to the teachings of history’s most influential and best-selling book, but it is also an invitation to further study. After all, there is nothing more important than understanding God’s ultimate truth about the world and our lives.

Angry? Gentle? Cruel? Kind? What is God really like? In Outrageous Grace, popular author and pastor Dwight Nelson isn’t afraid to tackle the questions that arise from the diverse biblical descriptions of God. Admitting that the Old Testament portrayals of a harsh God are difficult for many Christians to focus on, Nelson skillfully guides the reader through texts that demonstrate how God works with individuals in the ways that will most effectively touch their hearts. Focusing on principles revealed in the parable of the prodigal son, Nelson shows us that God values relationships, not rules. God is a parent, teacher, leader, and friend. Most of all, He is a God of outrageous grace—a relentless lover and an unconditional forgiver whose loving goal is to take His children home to heaven. A CHRISTIAN-FAITH SHARING BOOK

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
