Book Description

Opposing the common exclusion of God from an active role in human history, this work explains how His role exists and can be witnessed in humanity’s complicated dualities--in time and space, war and peace, wealth and poverty, and love and hatred. Arguing that history is a master plan--that God, who is reason and love, wills human existence--Dr. Pursell weaves his thesis through both divine revelation and specific historical events. He explains in accessible terms that God’s plan for human history is that of unity in opposing forces; that historical periods are secular constructs--despite human ingenuity and industrialization, all humankind is part of one historical period under God, defined not by machines but by morals. In a style that is both fluid and engrossing, Dr. Pursell offers Christians and historians alike a new vision of human history that is sure to inspire as much as it educates.

Book Description

Raised in a militant atheist family, Sy Garte fell in love with the factual world of science. He became a respected research biochemist with an anti-theistic worldview to bolster his work—and he had no intention of seeking a God he didn't believe in. That is, until the very science he loved led him to question the validity of an atheistic worldview. His journey to answer the questions that confronted him drew him into becoming a fully committed Christian, determined to show others the truth: modern science doesn't contradict God at all but instead supports Christianity. In the first half of the book, Sy begins with how his experiences and quest for knowledge as a student and early in his career brought him to question his materialist assumptions. He goes on to reveal how lessons from physics, biology, and human nature —all presented for lay readers to easily understand—actually argue for belief in God. In the second half of the book, Sy looks at the arguments often presented against God in academic and scientific settings and explains the false foundations on which they rest. For those who have been told that the realities of science call for a rejection of God—but can't quite get rid of the feeling that this shouldn't be true—The Works of His Hands is an ideal reminder that the two don't have to be bitter enemies. Instead, this transformative book shares the beauty of the marriage between science and faith—and how, together, they can bring even the most unlikely to salvation.

Book Description

In October 1810 a twenty-year-old girl in the quiet New England town of Bradford wrote the following words in her journal: 'If nothing in providence appears to prevent, I must spend my days in a heathen land. I am a creature of God, and he has un undoubted right to do with me, as seems good in his sight...He has my heart in his hands, and when I am called to face danger, to pass through scenes of terror and distress, he can inspire me with fortitude, and enable me to trust in him. Jesus is faithful; his promises are precious. Were it not for these considerations, I should sink down with despair. Ann Hasseltine had received a proposal of marriage from Adoniram Judson, who was shortly to leave for Asia as one of America's first overseas missionaries. And thus commenced one of the great dramas of church history--a saga of love, courage, suffering and perseverance.

Book Description

Have you ever gone through something and came out saying "how did I survive this?" That has been my story for years. I would go through something awful and think to myself "how did I possibly survive this?" The answer is simple. God Never Took His Hands Off Of Me! Even in the situations I got myself into ...His hand stayed upon my life. As a child I was molested and abused, which opened the door for other things to happen. It seemed like the attacks were coming back to back. Looking for ways to cope with suppressed hurt and to feel loved, I became an addict and promiscuous in nature as a teenager. Witnessing death and having near death experiences as an adult, ending my life did not seem too bad. But then it happened.... I was given a reason to live in the form of a baby. Becoming a mother was not quite the answer to all of my troubles as I thought. Where was my faith? I was brought up in the church; didn't I know God for myself? No. I did not. I knew about Him based on other people's stories. I had to really sit back and think back to every trial that came my way. Trials really do come to make you strong. And in every possible trial that I endured, I never had to endure them alone. God was right there the whole time. Even when all I had were tears and screams to give, Holy Spirit made intercession for me. No longer ashamed of my testimony. Yes, that happened! Yes, I did it! Our testimonies are not for us... but they are for other people to see the manifestation of God's glory in our lives. We overcome by the blood of the lamb, and the words of our testimony! I believe God even in unfavorable situations. This is my story, what is yours?
