A Quest for Answers - The DaVinci Code

Book recommendation
A Quest for Answers - 
The DaVinci Code
by Josh McDowell



(Information from the back cover)




Just where does Fact End
and Fiction Begin





The brilliant mix of facts and fiction in Dan Brown`s gripping conspiracy story The DaVinci Code raises serious questions about the origins and claims of Christianity. 

Many come away from the book or movie with their beliefs shaken or wondering just what is true and what is not.

  • Was Mary Magdalene really Jesus`wife and the mother of His child?
  • Did the Church suppress the truth and fabricate Jesus`claim to divinity?
  • Is the Bible as we have it really accurate and authentic?
  • Did Jesus really come back from the dead?

In the The DaVinci Code: A Quest for Answers, best selling author Josh McDowell addresses these and other questions raised by Brown`s book. Drawing on the mountains of historical evidence, 

McDowell skillfully separates fact from fallacy and presents unassailable truths that readers can depend on to be rock solid.

    Forward

    God has truly used Evangelist Steve Foss to expose some of the most pernicious strategies used by the devil to sideline God`s people from fulfilling their potential.

     Steve`s revelations do not come from the ivory tower, but from face-to-face ministry with tens of thousands of young people and hundreds of thousands on the foreign field and in revival services all over America.

    Through  Steve`s diligence in applying what I taught him - not to deal with the surface, but to go into the spirit world to defeat the enemy -- Steve has been rewarded with valuable nuggets of truth to share with the body of Christ on the devils devices.

    The Harbinger Book

    Book recommendation
    The Harbinger by Jonathan Cahn



    The  Ancient Mystery   
    That Holds The  Secret 
    Of  America`s Future


    (Information from the back cover)

    Is It Possible...

    That there exists an ancient mystery that holds the secret of America`s future?

    That this mystery is behind everything from 9 /11 to the complete collapse of the global economy?

    That God is now sending a prophetic message on which America`s future hangs?

    Before its end as a nation, there appeared in ancient Israel a series of specific omens and signs warning of destruction--these same Nine Harbingers are now manifesting in America with profound ramifications for America`s future and end-time prophecy.

    Hidden in an ancient Biblical verse from the Book of Isaiah, the mysteries revealed in The Harbinger are so precise that they foretell recent American events down to the exact days...the 3,000-year-old mystery that revealed the exact date of the stock market collapse of 2008...the ancient prophecy that was proclaimed from the floor of the US Senate and then came true...and more.
    The revelations are so specific that even the most hardened skeptic will find it hard to put down. Though it sounds like the plot of a Hollywood thriller--it's real.  

    Written in a riveting narrative style, The Harbinger opens with the appearance of a man burdened with a series of messages he has received in the form of nine seals. Each seal unveils a prophetic mystery concerning America and its future that takes you on an amazing journey that will change the way you see the world forever.

    Jonathan Cahn leads the Hope of the World ministries and the Jerusalem Center / Beth Israel, a worship center made up of Jew and Gentile, people of all backgrounds, located in Wayne, New Jersey. His teachings are seen on television and radio throughout the nation and are known for their prophetic significance and their revealing of deep mysteries of God's Word.

    The Dad Difference

    Book recommendation
    The Dad Difference
    By Josh McDowell and Dr. Norm Wakefield

    Creating an Environment for
    Your Child's Sexual Wholeness

    (Information from the back cover)

    Making a Difference

    "I had a rotten day at school, then I all wanted was a bit of my parents' time. Just a simple hug would do. But they were too busy so I went to my boyfriend with my problems. One thing led to another and now I'm involved sexually. Dad, Mom, I wish you had been there when I needed you."   Melissa 

    The national study on teen sexuality commissioned by "WHY WAIT?" confirms a significant relationship between teen sexual activity and the lack of parental attentiveness. Where parents provide
    • affirmation, 
    • unconditional love and acceptance and 
    • ample listening time, 
     the rate of teen sexual involvement is dramatically lower.

    The study also shows that mothers spend more than twice as much time as fathers and are more apt to discuss matters of sexuality with there children.

    Drawing on this study, their personal experience, and their practical knowledge of Biblical principles. Josh McDowell and Dr. Norm Wakefield provide insights for all fathers and guidelines for wives to support their husbands in making the The Dad Difference. If you're a single parent, you will find the The Dad Difference a breath of fresh air.

    • Find out when to loosen the reigns and when to clamp down.
    • Know how to make up for "lost time" with your child.
    • Learn, as a divorced parent, how to make the best of your situation.
