"Life isn't always a neat bundle of happiness. But more important than the challenges we face is our response to them." -Pastor Sam. Upon the death of his parents, Lance Bradshaw, discovers he is adopted. Through his father's journals and his mother's diary, he also discovers his parent's past; a past never fully shared with him. Thus, he begins searches for the sister previously unknown to him and his birth parents. Lance Bradshaw's life was, in a word, idyllic; the son of a famous actor, and with loving parents as well. However, on his father's deathbed, Lance's world was shattered when his father's last words were "Adopted" and "Christine." What did this all mean? Who was Christine? And why had his father willed half his estate to her? The questions came fast and furious into his mind and launched Lance into a search for answers. A search that lead him deep into the secrets contained in his parents journals and guided by luck. Or perhaps it was not luck after all...

CHEAP GRACE is the deadly enemy of our Church. We are fighting to-day for costly grace...Dietrich Bonhoeffer.Grace UPON Grace is a tree-volume study which highlights significant concerns for theology and ministry: What is '(the) grace (of God), ' and how does it 'work'? What is '(the) grace (of God), ' and how does it 'work'? Can a man resist God's grace, or is it irresistible, and even irrevocable? Is the message to, and the effect of God's grace upon, a believer different from an unbeliever's experience of it? Do believers possess a 'grace' of their own? Volume 1: The Covenantal Divide focuses on the wider world evangelized including the "grace" texts within the gospels of Luke and John, the Acts of the Apostles, and the epistle of James; Volume 2 focuses on the local churches established (the epistles of the apostle Paul); and Volume 3 the sojourning saints elected (the 'general' epistles-I & II Peter, Jude, Hebrews). Here's what others are saying about Grace upon Grace: "Grounded in a careful parsing of the original Greek and a thorough knowledge of the original context, this exhaustive study of grace in Luke, John, and Acts fills a needed gap for seminarians, pastors, and Bible study leaders who desire both to understand the New Testament concept of grace and to see it manifested in themselves and disseminated through their churches."

It may be surprising to many Christian and Jewish believers that there is great uncertainty in the scholarly community as to when the events of the Bible took place. Many well-meaning church leaders feel that we must be content to know that these events did occur even if we will never know exactly when they occurred. Increasing numbers of scholars turn this appeal to blind faith into an opportunity to question whether many of the events of the Bible actually occurred at all. They speculate that many of the stories of the Bible are perhaps best seen as metaphorical and were simply invented to illustrate certain Biblical truths. Did the events of the Bible actually take place, and, if they did, can we possibly determine exactly when they took place? The purpose of this book is to provide strong evidence that the answer to both of these questions is an emphatic yes! Dr. Jerome Johnson has provided a very detailed research into the historicity and dating of the events in the scriptures. This book will provide a very good foundation of biblical timing in a way that is easy to understand for the average church attending believer, and yet rigorous enough for serious biblical study.

Where do you want to spend ETERNITY? Throughout the centuries, Christ's followers have wondered when Jesus will return to earth to establish His millennial kingdom. However, Jesus in Matthew 24:36 says, "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone." However, nearly 2,000 years have passed since this statement was made. How many of the prophecies of the Bible have already been fulfilled? How many remain? Dr. Johnson takes a very in-depth look at the prophecies concerning the second coming of Jesus, and provides us with additional reasoning to believe that we are closer to His second coming now, more than ever. What remains to happen on earth before Jesus comes again?Yes, I am coming quickly. - Jesus, (Revelation 22:21)Amen. Come Lord Jesus. Let us all be ready.
