Art Lindsley ably demonstrates that faith in Christ is necessarily opposed to and incompatible with the abuses of oppression, arrogance, intolerance, self-righteousness, closed-mindedness and defensiveness. Surprisingly, he shows that it is relativism which often harbors dangerous, inflexible absolutisms.

As an educated scientist and businessman, author Ramesh Malhotra is interested in unveiling the secrets of nature known to ancient spiritual scholars. In 2013, he published Spiritual Wisdom based on the holy scripture, Bhagavad Gita. During the last seven years, he’s been working to unveil truths buried in the Vedas. These Vedas were composed by spiritual scholars throughout many years before the second millennium BCE and extending into the Late Bronze Age. Through his investigation and research, based on personal devotion, he’s uncovered many aspects relating to the genesis of the dynamic universe, the creation of the planetary system, and its relationship to all creation and especially to humanity, which has prevailed for a long time on earth. In In Search of Absolute Truth, Malhotra journeys through complex, ancient Rig Veda mystic mythology, writings that cover various aspects of creation preservation and transformation. He shares that finding knowledge buried in holy scripture is like climbing a mountain. Your judgment and perception are constantly refined as you get higher and higher in understanding the Vedas. You come to know absolute truth only when you reach the peak and look around and see there are many hills that make the mountain peak of the absolute truth.

This booklet clearly and logically discusses pluralism and relativism, then goes on to lead readers to determine religious truth for themselves. Author Mark Ashton challenges readers to put Christianity (and any other religion for that matter) to the test--the test for absolute truth.

"A SKILLFUL BLEND OF CHARACTER, PHILOSOPHY AND NARRATIVE. . .Formidable personalities embroil themselves in ruthless power struggles that would make a corporate raider blush." --The Washington Post Book World It is 1965, and Charles Ashworth has attained the plum position of bishop of Starbridge, an honor that keeps him in a heady whirl of activity that would exhaust the most seasoned corporate executive. With the invaluable support of his minions and his attractive, unsinkable wife, Ashworth stands against the amorality and decadence of the age--"Anti-Sex Ashworth." He slays his opponents by being a tough, efficient, confident churchman, the torments of his past long since dead and buried. And then the unexpected, the unthinkable, strikes. Suddenly Ashworth finds himself staring into the chasm of all the lies hes been telling himself for years: about his marriage, his children, even his views on the Church. And as he suspects his old nemesis and dean, Neville Aysgarth, of drinking too much, of financial chicanery, of--God forbid--having an affair, Ashworth discovers to his horror that he is tempted to commit the very acts that he has so publicly denounced. . . . "ENTHRALLING. . .Rich, dense, almost indecently entertaining." --San Jose Mercury News "POWERFUL. . .MIRACULOUS." --Booklist (starred review) SELECTED BY THE BOOK-OF-THE-MONTH CLUB

We all have an urge for the Absolute Truth within us. You may feel it as curiosity; or maybe you have a deeper purpose in mind, such as trying to understand life, its problems and opportunities. The urge to find the Absolute Truth is the motivating force of life itself, and fulfillment of this urge is the purpose of human life. Thus we are all engaged in a search for the Absolute Truth. This short book presents that search from both humanistic and philosophical perspectives. From the text: Once upon a time there lived an intelligent, adventurous young man in a very dull small town. However, our young man was not satisfied with this stultifying existence--he wanted to see and explore the entire world, and eventually achieve his greatest heart's desire: to meet God face-to-face. Naturally everyone tried their best to convince him that these things were impossible; or if possible, uselessly impractical... If this sounds familiar, this book will speak to your experience in searching for truth.

Wait! Before you fly into that building... What is truth? Is it knowable? Can we be absolutely certain about anything? A momentous work of philosophy doesn't have to be massive and unreadable. No example of philosophy that you'll encounter will deal with Certainty and Truth more concisely and compellingly than this book, yet it does so while maintaining an engaging style that keeps the cerebral content very readable and accessible. Like previous philosophies that address Certainty and Truth, the work HAD to address the issue of God, yet unlike it's predecessors, manages to do so without any hidden assumptions. As a result, it holds confirmations of orthodox Christianity that are unprecedented. The book adopts a partially autobiographical style as it details how the hyper-rational author went from the purest form of agnosticism to fundamentalist Christianity over a span of years. Within are essays that address common misconceptions that skeptics and Christians share. There is also a miraculous quality to the account that speaks to the heart. The fact that the author is a recent stroke victim, cognitively impaired and partially paralyzed, makes it more apparent that he cannot take credit for any cleverness reflected in this book. There are things on a par with Einstein's "On The Photoelectric Effect" or "On Brownian Motion" Since the author admits to having the barest of math abilities, it's fortunate that the issues in this work do not require the same mathematical rigor to express as Einstein's remarkable understandings. Nevertheless, the assertion of novelty and momentousness for this work is appropriate. There are compelling answers to questions that people have grappled with for centuries.

Learn How and Where to throw your boomerangs before they come back to you! Are you looking for answers that will bring some true sense of lasting joy, meaning, and purpose to your life? There are different churches on every street corner telling you that they are The One, so how do you know who or what is really right? It's confusing and frustrating! You need to look no further than the Bible... Your "Owner's Manual." If you are searching for or questioning the Truth, you will enjoy, gain some awareness, knowledge, inspiration, and practical lessons from the dynamics of In Pursuit. You must begin to break through the societal mindset of mass acceptance and confusion, and begin focusing your thoughts towards free-thinking, and open your mind to the possibility of a single unified absolute Truth that you can make the basis of your decision-making. Everything shared is from strictly a biblical perspective. No interjections of faith or belief from any man-made creeds are provided for guidance, except for consideration to challenge all that you know as you develop that precious gift of independent thinking that we have each been given and so seldom practice. In Pursuit also provides Bible-based and historical answers to questions like "How old is our earth?," "Is God fact or fiction?," "So, what if the Bible really IS true?," "Who was this Jesus guy anyway?," and much more! We also provide some insight and guidance with topics such as "The Pursuit of Happiness," "In Pursuit - Happiness vs. Joy," "In Pursuit - Contentment & Relationship," "In Pursuit - Peace & Truth," "So, Where Does the Peace Come From?," and others. In Pursuit will give you answers to questions we all ask ourselves, and the insight to something that you may never knew existed, that peace and comfort that every human seeks, and so few ever truly find. Life is like a game of boomerangs. Our thoughts, deeds, and words return to us sooner or later, with astounding accuracy. Lesson: Aim before you act or this is gonna hurt!
