A Guidebook For Searchers, Agnostics, Doubters, and FollowersAt Last, Real Answers for Real People!This book was written for the searcher, the person who wants true spirituality, but is sincerely struggling with the important questions about life and God. It was also written for the believer who may be struggling with doubts. Part of the enemy's strategy is to toss doubts into the believer's pathway causing them to become sidetracked and thus ineffective for God. A Message for SearchersSearchers come in all forms. Some searchers are young and just beginning their journey, and some are old and have been searching for a very long time.Searchers are people who are on a quest. They are explorers, but they are not exploring merely for the sake of the journey. It is a seemingly unquenchable thirst for the truth. They believe the truth is out there and can be known, but they are not always sure where to look or even where to begin looking.Often searchers are secretly hoping they will not find the truth. The greatest fear of some is that the truth they are seeking will lead them to the God of the Bible. Many are really hoping to find the answer in a hobby, or a relationship, or a career, or the latest self-help book, or some new achievement, or community service, or anywhere else. But they have often been disappointed in the shallowness of these things and that is why they are still searching.This book is for searchers, agnostics, honest skeptics, doubting Thomas, and committed followers. While it is in no way meant to be exhaustive or even highly intellectual, it does interact with five questions most often asked by searchers. If you are a searcher, it might encourage you to know that you are not alone in your journey. Many people have gone before you and some have even left some helpful markers along the way. It might also encourage you to know that God is excited that you are searching and He has some special promises for you. The Bible says God "rewards those who earnestly seek Him" (Hebrews 11:6). Jesus called searchers "blessed" or "happy" and promised, "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness for they shall be satisfied" (Matthew 5:6 NASB).Every good explorer needs some good tools and resources. It is my hope that this book will be one source of information and ready reference that will help you discover what your soul is craving and perhaps prepare you for an even greater journey.Chapters TitlesIs There Really a God?Can We Really Trust an Ancient Book?Is Christianity Really the Right Religion?Can a Loving God Really Allow Suffering?Is There Really Life After Death?Survival Information for SearchersSome Interesting Things You'll Find Inside 5 Arguments for the Existence of God6 Implications of Existence of God6 Implications of Anti-supernaturalism6 Qualities that Make the Bible The Most Unique Book of All TimeThe Big 6 Non-Christian Religions5 Reasons Why Christianity is Really the Right Religion3 Practical Benefits of Suffering4 Bottom Line Answers about God and Suffering8 Reasons to Believe in Life after Death4 Things God Is Dying for You to KnowGet A Guidebook For Searchers and Get Answers Now!

A Primer on Power, The Power of The Holy SpiritThe purpose of this book is to introduce this subject in the hopes that my readers may enter into this fullness of the life of the Spirit and His ministry gifts. The liberating truth of the Holy Spirits work will set all who read it on the journey to fullness.You Need The Holy SpiritThis is a book about power, more specifically, this is a book about the power of the Holy Spirit and how this power dramatically impacted both the personal life and ministry of the author. It is a book written to help you and your church discover the dynamic ministry of the Holy Spirit. While this book discusses theology, it is not primarily a book on Pneumatology, but rather a personal and practical guide to life in the Spirit.There are places around the world where Christians are desperate for the power of God. They aggressively seek the presence and power of God and realize that without this power they are helpless to do the work of God. By way of contrast, the author has also stood in some of the magnificent cathedrals in Europe. At one time, these great edifices were at the center of genuine demonstrations of the power of God, but today they are museums. There are no people and there is no power! Many churches in America are approaching the same situation.I want to suggest that the mission of the church is unalterably linked to the work and ministry of the Holy Spirit. Without His ministry, the church has no power and the Christian has no victory.Do Not Read This Book ...Unless you are Desperate for Power. It is not for those who WANT power, but for those who MUST have power. Specifically, the power of the Holy Spirit who can dramatically change your life and your world.As a Harvest Evangelist who has traveled around the world and preached in the largest congregations in America, Dr. Scott Camp writes from first hand experience. He has seen thousands come to Christ, their lives changed, and miraculous answers to prayer. This primer is written to help you and your church discover the powerful ministry of the Holy Spirit. Dr. Camp also describes with great transparency how this power dramatically impacted both my personal life and ministry.This is book for those who are desperate to see God at work through them. Scott leared these truths at great personal cost, and shares them with a desire to help other Christians experience this personal victory over sin and power for service. He also discusses the special gift the Holy Spirit gives to each believer which becomes a catalyst to other supernatural gifts of the Spirit.God plucked Scott Camp out of a lifestyle destined for destruction as a teen and set him on a path to following Jesus Christ. He is an evangelist with a world wide ministry. He travels extensively throughout the United States, Eastern Europe, Mexico, South America, Pakistan and the continent of Africa preaching at churches, city-wide crusades, and conferences. He has been featured as a program guest with the Billy Graham Crusade. Dr. Camp currently serves as the Faculty Chair of Evangelism at SUM Bible College and Theological Seminary in Oakland, CA.
