But then Bartholomew noticed that the thunder wasn't coming from the lake; it was coming from the hills behind the village... Suddenly several of the fishermen grabbed their oars and knives and hooks and anything else they could find and started running toward town. The others seemed to realize what was happening and did the same, leaving Bartholomew all alone on the beach. What will happen to Bartholomew when Roman soldiers ransack his village? Watch young Bartholomew as he travels across Israel in search of his family. Follow him through slavery and join him on his adventurous escape. Then help him celebrate a glorious reunion in Bethlehem-just in time for our Savior's birth. Offering readings for each day of the Advent season, Bartholomew's Passage is a family story and devotional that gives you the opportunity to create a seasonal tradition of storytelling in your home as it helps you and your family prepare for the miracle of Christmas.

Turnerville--an imaginary place where people take time to think and discuss real issues without condemnation or sarcastic cracks. In an age of hurried communication via e-mail, text messages, instant messaging, and cell phones, a place like Turnerville sounds really appealing--doesn't it? Written by Randy Newman, Gold Medallion nominee for Questioning Evangelism, this book allows readers to learn new conversational skills by eavesdropping on important dialogues that grapple with hot-button issues such as: - Why does God allow suffering? - Why should we believe the Bible? - Is Jesus really the only way? - Can we know about life after death? We hear discussions on these kinds of topics, but rarely are they presented in a way that promotes respect without compromise, listening without patronizing, and convictions without arrogance. That's all about to change. So pull up a seat; we have a lot to discuss. Randy Newman has worked with Campus Crusade for more than twenty-five years. He currently works in the Washington, D.C., area, interacting with students, professors, and officers at the Pentagon. He is a frequent conference speaker and specializes in helping people of different backgrounds dialogue about issues of faith.

"Science is a process of searching for the truth, and there are few things more certain in science than the fact that as the process continues, current theories will be revised and eventually abandoned in favor of new theories." --From the Preface The "sky is the limit" achievements of science are mind-boggling, impressive, and, for many, seem to be convincing proof that science is the final authority--even over biblical truth. Many Christians, secretly concerned that it knows something we don't, find the claims of science unsettling. In this clear, thoughtful book, scientist Nigel Brush confronts these fears with an evaluative look at science's limitations--temporal, logical, cultural, spatial, and empirical--and develops a more realistic model of what kind of "truth" science can legitimately provide. While affirming its great value, Brush exposes science's shifting foundations and its inability to answer life's ultimate question: why am I here? Only the Bible can answer metaphysical questions like this with reliable, unchanging truth. "This is a long overdue check on contemporary scientism which put unfounded fear into Christians who often struggle unnecessarily to reconcile their faith with the changing science of the day." --Norman Geisler President, Southern Evangelical Seminary "In a concise and direct manner, archeologist-anthropologist Nigel Brush has effectively removed the underpinnings from the widespread belief that the natural sciences provide the only legitimate avenue to ultimate truth. . . . Christians who read the book will overcome the fear that Christian faith will somehow be discredited by the next scientific discovery." --Davis A. Young Emeritus, Professor of Geology, Calvin College Nigel Brush (Ph.D., UCLA) is an assistant professor of geology at Ashland University in Ohio. A committed Christian and scientist, he has conducted archaeological, geological, and environmental fieldwork in England, Canada, New York, Ohio, and California.
