One of America's leading Christian thinkers interweaves the story of his own struggle to reclaim his beliefs with inspiring portraits of people who have succeeded in the pursuit of an authentic faith. In Soul Survivor, Philip Yancey charts his spiritual pilgrimage through the influence of key individuals: "These are the people who ushered me into the Kingdom. In many ways, they are why I remain a Christian today, and I want to introduce them to other spiritual seekers." Yancey interweaves his own journey with fascinating stories of those who modeled for him a life-enhancing rather than a life-constricting faith: Dr. Paul Brand, G. K. Chesterton, Annie Dillard, Frederick Buechner, C. Everett Koop, Leo Tolstoy, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Henri Nouwen, John Donne, Mahatma Gandi, Shusaku Endo, Martin Luther King, Jr., Robert COles. Readers will find these inspiring portraits both nurture and challenge for their own understanding of authentic faith. Yancey fans will devour these new glimpses of how he has held onto faith while acknowledging with utter honesty its inherent difficulties. New Yancey readers will be drawn in by the theme of faith versus religion and drawn along a compelling narrative of signposts on a spiritual journey. Soul Survivor offers illuminating and critically important insights into true Christianity, which will enrich the lives of veteran believers and cautious seekers alike.

The mysterious millionaire and highly successful corporate executive, Mathew Anthony, alias The Mailman, is back in action. Mathew and his identical twin brother, Thomas, have survived a failed assassination attempt, intended to close the book on those who were involved in the murder of The Mailman’s handler, CIA agent, Scott Johnson (The Corporate Chameleon). Regrettably, Thomas Anthony’s wife, Sienna, was an inadvertent victim of the assassination attempt and she was terminated. This event launched a retaliation journey (The Mainstreet Messenger) by The Mailman and his brother who were successful with the extermination of all parties involved, except one, the President of the United States. The assassination saga targeting the Anthony Brothers remains an irritant to the President. The chronicle with the Anthony brothers continues (The Soul Survivor). Both brothers have drastically changed their ideals after avenging the death of Sienna Anthony. Thomas continues with his campaign quest to become the first Independent candidate to be elected to the Office of the President of the United States. Subversive activities are uncovered which suggest the possibility of another attempt on the lives of the Anthony brothers is being constructed. This information reinforces the brothers’ conclusion that they must devise a plan which will pit them against the most powerful man in the world, the President of the United States. The Mailman, the consummate assassin, will face the ultimate test of will and skill by deciding to undertake his most unimaginable ‘delivery’. The Mailman who fears nothing, spends no time thinking about aspirations or destiny, thus, when an exploit is needed, cares little about his own demise. The action he must take is straight forward; take the sword of Lady Justice, rebalance her scale, and then remove her blindfold for her to judge his handiwork. A journey is about to take place, that will not only affect Thomas and Mathew Anthony’s respective lives, but also the lives of the very nation the brothers so unconventionally love and defend. To the brothers, one man, the President of the United States, evolves from being a life’s passage distraction to an imminent danger. For the Anthony brothers, every value, principle, and belief will be tested ... to be entrenched or to be tossed aside. The very existence of the strongest nation in the world will be pushed to the brink of hell, in this survivor-takes-all conflict. SET NO LIMITS, HAVE NO FEAR, AND ALLOW NO REMORSE ...

Men and women embarking on the study of systematic theology quickly find themselves awash in a sea of unfamiliar theological terms, historical names, and philosophical "-isms." The Survivor's Guide to Theology is both a life preserver to help stay afloat and a compass to help navigate these often unfamiliar waters. While many books on systematic theology provide introductory material, still the reader is often forced to dive right into actual theology without adequate framework for understanding. Resources for building this framework are available but scattered. This unique book brings them together in one place. The Survivor's Guide to Theology is ideal for both introduction and review/reference. - The first part deals with the question, "What is Theology?" It addresses issues, categories, theory of knowledge, and more. - The second part surveys nine major theological systems. For each, the author provides history and background, overview of content and theological distinctive, and a critique. - The final part provides the reader with biographical sketches of significant theologians, a brief dictionary of common theological terms, and an annotated bibliography of major theological works.

Gold Medallion Book Award Winner. Over a million copies sold. An inspirational classic for more than thirty years,?Where Is God When It Hurts??honestly explores pain—from physical wounds to emotional and spiritual pain—and sheds new light on God's presence in our suffering. "How can a loving God allow this to happen? God is either all-loving or all-powerful, but he can't be both." You've heard that question, and perhaps you've even asked it yourself. When a loved one dies, we receive a terminal diagnosis, or natural disasters strike, people often wonder whether God is the?cause?of suffering and why he doesn't immediately take away the pain or fix the situation. As a result, we become angry at the once-beloved God who betrayed us. Bestselling author Philip Yancey uses examples from the Bible and from his own experiences to show us how we can learn to accept—without blame, anger, or fear—what we don't understand. Along the way, he answers questions such as: Why is there such a thing as pain? Is pain a message from God? How should we respond to suffering? How can we learn to cope with pain? Where Is God When It Hurts??speaks to everyone who thinks that suffering doesn't make sense. With compassion and clarity, Yancey brings us one step closer to finding an answer when our pain, or the pain of those we love, is real and we are left wondering,?where is God when it hurts? "One of the most helpful treatments of the problem of evil that I've ever read. If I were looking around for something to give to individuals who are going through travail or difficulty, this is the book I'd recommend." —Dr. Vernon Grounds, former Chancellor of Denver Seminar

The Life and Witness of Jeremiah introduces the general reader to the Hebrew prophet Jeremiah. As such it provides an overall sketch of his life and times and serves as a portal into his thought world. Jeremiah is among the most eloquent and passionate prophets in the Hebrew Bible. For readers who enjoy evocative poetry and harrowing accounts of near-death experiences, Jeremiah merits careful reading. One of the primary purposes in writing this book is to assist the reader in negotiating its anthology format and disorderly arrangement. To this end, the author provides in six chapters a thematic and topical approach to important aspects of Jeremiah's career and message that speak powerfully to our own day. In other words, this book focuses on applied theology. How does what Jeremiah said then relate to readers now? The book of Jeremiah is remarkably relevant, especially in its interface between faith and politics. The author also approaches this exposition of Jeremiah from a biblical theology perspective by connecting his preaching with the canon of sacred Scripture. A major concern is to place Jeremiah's prophecy within the broader context of redemptive history.
