"In the beginning the waters surged throughthe darkness bringing life where there was none."The greatest miracle is the miracle of life, celebrated here poetically in 1,397 lines, making up 40 cantos. Although we are all born carrying the seeds of blight, and every life is fraught with hardship and turmoil, life is always worth fighting for, and is to be enjoyed. This is a story of family, a story of life under the shadow of death. Or rather, a story of life under the shadow of the mysteriousBirth Day, as two teenage lovers struggle against temptations, against doubts, and even against the gossip and false piety of other Christians. This is a story of grace and mercy, in which you will find the hope that every person desperately needs as we all face our mortality and come closer to the day of our new birth.

The stunning 'Testimony Trilogy' comes to a climactic end with the return of Hope Brewer from the dateless past and the Virgin Church faces one last battle on earth before being united with her Lord. Follow Hope Brewer from the halls of the Planet Rahab to the Rapture of the Church in a story about the ruin that rebellion against the Creator always brings with it. "The created is forever bound to the will of the Creator."

The Book of Revelation is one of the most misunderstood and neglected books in the Bible, partly because of its Apocalyptic genre which is a literary form that is not used anymore. Yet, it is also misunderstood because most Christians are unfamiliar with the historical-cultural context of first-century Christianity and Judaism in the Roman Empire. The Revelation is far more relevant for Christian's daily lives as the church advances the gospel throughout the world than most people realize, specifically written to believers "to unveil" the reign of their Lord over the earth and the binding of Satan, the Spirit and the Bride (through the proclamation of the gospel) opening the eyes of the nations that he had blinded over the course of centuries. This commentary seeks to quote and cite as much of the history as possible to bring out the book's first-century meaning and present applications.

"Thy Judgments are a great deep: O Lord, Thou preservest man and beast." -Psalm 36:6. G.H. Pember's classic treatise on the destiny of animals is unlike any other work on the subject. Pember carefully examines the redemption from the historical viewpoint of Genesis and the prophetic viewpoint of Revelation, showing that from the beginning immediately after the Fall, God's desire has been to redeem not just man, but all that He entrusted to man's care. "What these creatures really are, we have no means of finding out; nor can we tell whence they came, or whither they are going. If, however, we consult the inspired page, we shall be enabled to learn something both of their history and of their future destiny." -G.H. Pember.

Do you walk in freedom with Jesus Christ? Do you know the true power you have as a member of His Body, the Church? These are uncertain times that we are living in, yet you can have peace not as the world gives, peace that surpasses all understandings, in a world that talks of peace while waging war. This handbook offers encouragement and will challenge you to live radically for Jesus. You will gain a fresh understanding of the war that all mankind is caught in the midst of. In this present age when serious Bible study is neglected, this handbook shows the Bible to be more than just a book. False doctrines that have prevailed for centuries will be lifted from the reader's mind, Christians will be given a renewed sense of confidence in the Bible as the inerrant Word of God, and skeptics will be shown God's own authentication codes of Himself. Prophecies are being fulfilled today and the return of Jesus is soon; knowledge is increasing across the world; extrabiblical books such as the Book of Enoch are gaining widespread attention. This is the first expositional study which carefully introduces the Book of Enoch to the cautious reader, explaining the approach that Christians should take when examining it, in such a time as this.

Here is the first ever collection of Michael Kelley's first three Christian poetry collections! This volume includes "Lifted", "All The Days And All The Nights", and, finally, "Looking Into Nothing"--his most recent poetry collection released! Why buy them separate, when you can have all three books in one big book?
