Bøger af Don Davidson

As a single person, do you want more in life? Would you like to be ridiculously happy? If so, Dear Hunting may hold some answers for you. This is a unique, one of a kind book for singles of all ages, whether divorced, widowed or always single. Davidson not only tells it like it is but also how it could be. Out of the depths of his own painful divorce, he shares how he learned to "survive and thrive" and tells you how you can do that as well. The author writes this book as one who has experienced many of the same struggles as most single-again people. He also writes as a pastor who has worked with and counseled singles for over 30 years. As such, he knows the heartbeat of singles and what makes them tick. His insights include: * How your faith can hold you up in down times * Where to go for a positive social life and connect with other singles * How to know if you are "marriage material" or not * How to use the "filter" for selecting the right mate * Advice for those Sixty and Single In addition to the solid and practical advice it offers, the book also contains a valuable appendix which includes his practical Top Ten List as well as a unique and handy Dating Diary for when you are in a special relationship. As the director of a highly successful ministry with singles, Davidson wrote, How to Build an Exciting Singles Ministry. That was followed by several other publications providing practical helps for singles adults. They can all be found at www.singlesmall.com/Donsbooks.html. In 1999 he was selected by Living Solo Magazine as being one of the top singles leaders in the United States. His latest book, Dear Hunting, is the result of years interacting with thousands of singles in the various churches he served along with those who attended the 300+ seminars he has conducted over the years.

This book is for Christians who want to grow and mature in their faith. It is the sequel to Don's first book, Beyond Blind Faith: Reasons For the Hope We Have (1 Peter 3:15), which covered Christianity 101-why Christianity makes sense and is the one true religion. In Beyond Shallow Faith, Don again employs his keen intellect, meticulous research, and love of God's word to explore what the Bible teaches about such topics as spiritual growth, forgiveness, pride and humility, judgment, repentance, unconditional love, sex, and grace. He also shares the results of his thorough biblical research about faith vs. works, free will and predestination, Satan, and the birth, death, and resurrection of Jesus. And just for fun, he includes a chapter on what God did to make planet Earth the ideal spot-perhaps like no other-for life to grow and flourish. Christianity is truth. With that in mind, we need to learn as much as possible about God's ways so that we can live as He intended. This book will help those who wish to pursue such knowledge.

From the Preface: "I have long believed that there is only one sufficient reason to be a Christian, and that is because it is true." This book explains why Christianity is the one true religion. As Jesus said, "I am the truth." (John 14:6)Attorney Don Davidson has been studying Christianity with a lawyer's attention to detail for more than 40 years. In these well researched and easy-to-read essays he explains: -Why Christianity is different from all other religions -Why Christ's resurrection is not merely a matter of faith, but of fact -Why Darwin's theory of evolution is not a matter of fact, but of faith -Why bad things happen -Why "belief" in Christ falls short of what God wants from us -Why the traditional view of Hell as eternal torture of unbelievers is wrong -Why the Old Testament's Yahweh is not the monster some believe Him to be -Why Islam and Buddhism are not credible alternatives to Christianity -Why we appear to be approaching the "birth pangs" Jesus prophesied would precede the ApocalypseThis book is ideal for adult education groups, Christian discussion groups, Bible study groups, and self-study. It is intended for Christians who want a stronger foundation for their faith, as well as for open-minded skeptics. For the serious Bible student, the endnotes provide additional information as well as extensive citations to relevant Scriptures.
