This fascinating and intelligent non-dogmatic study analyses the credibility of the first 11 chapters of the book of Genesis, from a combined perspective of philosophy, theology and science. The stories of how the world began and the creation of humankind are scrutinised by the author in an attempt to convey an advanced and objective understanding for its readers. The author has no intention to convert or de-convert to or from the Christian faith, instead, he chooses to share his findings with readers who can them make up their own mind. To support his plausible findings, he has evidenced and referenced a wealth of resources, and extensively researched this highly debated and constantly evolving topic. The finely detailed content reflects his meticulous undertaking, and the results are thought-provoking, to say the least. Everything has been included in this absorbing piece of work, from insights into extra-terrestrial beings, the bible's contradictory take on incest, eternal hell, moral standards, reproduction and symbolism, to the notion of the Babel tower myth, the reality of the animals on Noah's ark, the inconsistency of the flood stories, and the 'real' image of God; and the content throughout is highly compelling.
God created us in his image. It is a truth as old as Genesis. Why does that concept confound us so? We look at our personal failings and the wickedness around us and realize how far removed we are from living as he intended for us to live. What exactly does it mean to be created in the image of God? How do we reflect God in a lost world? The answer is not cloaked in tedious theology, but in the simple declaration of Jesus. "If you have seen me, you've seen the Father. I and my Father are one." There it is. To live as the image of God means living like Christ. In this creative blend of biblical truth and inspiration, award-winning author Kirk Lewis explores the character traits of Jesus as he lived and walked on earth. Lewis' gift of storytelling and biblical insight into the character of Jesus turn scripture we take for granted into a living, breathing reality that jumps off the page and straight into your heart. ..".I plan to put this book by Dr. Lewis on the table by my favorite chair and pause more often with a trusted friend to celebrate the presence of a restoring God." -Ray Woodard, Send City Missionary, Vancouver, British Columbia ..".Lewis brings scripture to life with his self-examining applications and a creative style reminiscent of Max Lucado." -Dan Curry, former Pastor, South Oaks Church, Arlington, TX, and Area Representative, Baptist General Convention of Texas

God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 2 Corinthians 4:6 This book is a cry from the heart of John Piper. He is pleading that God himself, as revealed in Christ's death and resurrection, is the ultimate and greatest gift of the gospel. None of Christ's gospel deeds and none of our gospel blessings are good news except as means of seeing and savoring the glory of Christ. Forgiveness is good news because it opens the way to the enjoyment of God himself. Justification is good news because it wins access to the presence and pleasures of God himself. Eternal life is good news because it becomes the everlasting enjoyment of Christ. All God's gifts are loving only to the degree that they lead us to God himself. That is what God's love is: his commitment to do everything necessary (most painfully the death of his only Son) to enthrall us with what is most deeply and durably satisfying-namely, himself. Saturated with Scripture, centered on the cross, and seriously joyful, this book leads us to satisfaction for the deep hungers of the soul. It touches us at the root of life where practical transformation gets its daily power. It awakens our longing for Christ and opens our eyes to his beauty. Piper writes for the soul-thirsty who have turned away empty and in desperation from the mirage of methodology. He invites us to slow down and drink from a deeper spring. "This is eternal life," Jesus said, "that they know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent." This is what makes the gospel-and this book-good news.

What you believe about God sets the foundation of the person you will become. In God Has a Name, pastor and New York Times bestselling author John Mark Comer invites you to rethink many of the prevalent myths and misconceptions about God and weigh them against what God actually tells us about himself. After all, what you believe about God will ultimately shape the type of person you become. We all live at the mercy of our ideas, and nowhere is this more true than our ideas about God. The problem is many of our ideas about God are wrong. Not all wrong, but wrong enough to form our souls in detrimental and disheartening ways. God Has a Name is a simple yet profound guide to understanding God in a new light--focusing on what God says about himself in the Bible. This one shift has the potential to radically alter how you relate to God, not as a doctrine, but as a relational being who responds to you in an elastic, back-and-forth way. John Mark Comer takes you line by line through Exodus 34:6-8--Yahweh's self-revelation on Mount Sinai, one of the most quoted passages in the Bible. Along the way, Comer addresses some of the most profound questions he came across as he studied these noted lines in Exodus, including: Why do we feel this gap between us and God? Could it be that a lot of what we think about God is wrong? Not all wrong, but wrong enough to mess up how we relate to him? What if our "God" is really a projection of our own identity, ideas, and desires? What if the real God is different, but far better than we could ever imagine? No matter where you are in your spiritual journey, God Has a Name invites you to step into a fresh and biblically rooted vision of who God is that has the potential to alter your life with God and shape who you become.

The Mirror of God's Word A Biblical View of Physical Beauty Surgery to remove a brain tumor resulted in a change to Robin's facial features, causing her to take a deep look into the mirror of God's Word to find the answers to questions many of us have asked. "Why did God create me as He did when He is certainly capable of creating so much beauty?" "If beauty brings honor and glory to God, how can I possibly do so in my current physical condition?" "Is it possible for me to be content with my appearance?" "Will I ever be able to focus on others without thinking about how I look?" "How important is physical beauty to God anyway?" These are just some of the questions Robin seeks to answer in this six-week Bible study. The lessons contained herein do not focus on the subject of "inner beauty," although that is important to God. Instead, they are designed to help us transform our thinking by giving us God's viewpoint on this all-too-often misunderstood subject of physical beauty.

Beyond the Mirror: Seeing Yourself the Way God Sees You is a discipleship resource designed to help women find their true identity and worth in Christ. The goal of Beyond the Mirror is to teach Biblical truths of how and why we were created, in order to steer women in the direction of their true purpose and calling. Beyond the Mirror answers the question of "Why am I here?" by exploring how we are created to relate, reflect, and reign. When women see themselves the way God sees them, their potential is limitless. The problem is many women do not know where to start to find their identity and purpose. Beyond the Mirror provides tools and exercises for personal study and application, intending to lead women into the life they were created to live. Beyond the Mirror is written in a way non-believers can fully understand the Gospel of Christ, while believers new and old are challenged to grow spiritually. Each chapter has three parts: Biblical Examination, Reflection Questions, and Spiritual Disciplines. Biblical Examination consists of Scripture and commentary to help further explain the Holy text. We will examine the original languages (Hebrew and Greek) of the Bible to find fuller meaning and background of Scripture. Biblical Examination will be followed by Reflection Questions to help make the Scripture personal. Reflection Questions will lead to a richer understanding of the text, but will also place you within the biblical text to experience the hand of God. Finally each chapter concludes with a Spiritual Discipline to open the reader to healthy spiritual habits.
