Eerdmans Publishing Company, 1997 The Love of God . . . Creates "The Love of God does not first discover but creates what is pleasing to it." Thesis 28.

There is an undercurrent if not of menace certainly ...             Days of Atonement: A Novel10 reviews Ellen Boneparth iUniverse, Inc., 2005 An intriguing search for spiritual identity Ellen Boneparth's "Days of Atonement" tells the story of a young woman's search for spiritual identity through links with her ancestry.

Douty Wipf & Stock Publishers, 1998 Sola Scriptura or Sola Systema? Shall we interpret Scripture in light of a system of theology, or theology in light of Scripture? That seems to be the crux of the matter regarding what is called Limited Atonement or Definite Redemption. Rev. Douty has done an excellent job of stating the case for the Biblical view of the atonement. Along with Dr. Lightner's book Death Christ Died, The, the case should now be considered closed. ...             Redemption Redeemed: A Puritan Defense of Unlimited Atonement14 reviews John Goodwin, John D. Wagner Wipf & Stock Publishers, 2001 A Puritan Defense of God's Love & Grace It should be obvious to any objective student of the Word that the Calvinist doctrine commonly known as Limited Atonement did not come about through an inductive exegesis of the Scriptures, but instead through a rigid system of deductive logic imposed upon it. Although I have read and reviewed other books on this vitally important subject, I appreciated the fact that Puritan John Goodwin treats ...             Push Not the River70 reviews James Conroyd Martin St. Martin's Griffin, 2004 A Polish Love Story in the Time of King Stanislaw This excellent novel, which gets its name from the Polish proverb "Push not the river; it will flow of its own accord", is the story of two cousins, both countesses, who are in love with the same untitled man in a period of eightieth century history, a time when Russia, Prussia and Austria were bent on conquering and dividing Poland. The characters are well developed, the dialogue is free ...             Forgiveness and Jesus: The Meeting Place of 'A Course in Miracles' and Christianity4 reviews Kenneth Wapnick Foundation for a Course in Miracles, 1998 Tremendous book. Highly recommended. The tradtional sacrificial model of Christianity where an angry God demands a pound of flesh (sacrifice of his beloved Jesus on the cross) before we are loved by and acceptable to Him at some deep level does not make any sense to me. Dr. Wapnicks explanation of Jesus' life and death based on A Course In Miracles is not only logical, it is beautiful. This view allows us to logically believe in ...             Cross Purposes: The Violent Grammar of Christian Atonement3 reviews Anthony Bartlett Trinity Press International, 2001 A provocative, relevant reading of the cross Cross Purposes is an important book in the continuing conversation about the saving significance of Jesus' death.

House, 1969 Only in Christ Can We Have Victory! Bone of His Bone focuses on the great spiritual battle that takes place when a Christian takes seriously the authority in Christ.

Not that his style of writing is boring or even overly difficult. Not at all! His style is poetic, warm, and loving. Yet all the while, he makes you feel uncomfortable, leads you to questioning your faith, and often makes one angry! However, the thing that I admire most about the author and the book "Practice in Christianity", ...             Born crucified,3 reviews L.

Revell, 1965 The work of the cross is the gateway for intimacy with God. I read this book during a time of great personal crisis. THe Lord used this book to show me how intimacy comes through the cross. The greater the revelation I have of the cross of Christ and the deeper I yield to the power of the blood preapres me to receive a greater impartation of the Holy Spirit.
