Though it is God who prepares each of us for our entrance into eternity, Kenneth Davis, the author of The Offer of Paradise in Our Lifetime, is convicted that this is not a spectator sport, especially in these moments of history. This volume is a Bible and Spirit of Prophecy-based discourse on the role we have in hastening Christ's return and the end of this sin-tarnished planet. Found within these pages is a prayerful and systematic search into the question of what is keeping the Lord's finishing touches of salvation on hold.Many, even within the household of faith, find themselves troubled over the thought of hearing reports indicating that the end has come. While believing in the second coming, the sense of its imminence is frequently a source of hesitation. Could this have something to do with our uncertainty over whether we are ready or not?With that said, good news is coming. Readers will examine how the power of endurance and readiness, available to young and old, is enlarged by an understanding of God's plan of granting His saints today an indispensable role in the timing of the end. This role encompasses unity on simple but specific commitments of faith. Our reward will be the privilege of claiming the promise of His return within our lifetime as a reality, not speculative sensationalism. This privilege includes a precursor-cooperating with and being filled by the Holy Spirit to an unprecedented measure-that we may ultimately reflect the image of God and more effectively draw a countless multitude from every nation, kindred, and tribe into His fold.

Here's what I want you to do: Go to some nursery or department store.

There are just a few things you might want to know in order for you to really be successful in this new adventure. Want to know what they are? (Go ahead and emphatically shout, "Yes!") Great! Crack open this little book and let's get started!

Are the unclean food laws strictly for the Jews?Did Isaiah 66 err in stating that those eating unclean foods will be destroyed at the second coming?If Jesus sanctioned eating unclean foods during His ministry, why did Peter refuse to eat it during his vision in Acts 10?Is unclean food the only abomination from the Old Testament that is now allowed today?Did the physiological makeup of the pig's one stomach change at Calvary?Why did Paul write the equivalent of an epistle to the Gentiles trying to convince them to continue eating what they were accustomed to eating?Find the answer to these questions and more as you read what the Bible says regarding this issue that is not only of health, but of salvation.

A common topic throughout Ellen White's prolific writings is healthy living. She believed that the use of artificial drugs and drug-taking accounted for a great many deaths that could have been avoided had the doctor and patient faithfully relied upon God and His plan for health and healing.While times have changed, her warnings still hold much value. Each and every day, people around the globe depend more and more upon the medications often forced upon them by doctors and pharmaceutical companies. Through this compilation of her writings on the use of drugs in the care of the sick, Ellen White urges the reader to try a different way-THE BETTER WAY … GOD'S WAY.

Few things are able to arrest one's attention, convey a salient lesson, and leave a lasting impression as effectively and profoundly as a story. Countless trends and conventions have come and gone over the centuries in this world, but the power of a narrative has remained a constant in the experience of the human race. No wonder Jesus's chosen method of verbal communication was stories.Recognizing the power of storytelling in her own life, Eulene Greenland has compiled and written a number of tales: real experiences people have had and then shared with her, as well as stories based on true events that have been passed down. In Thoughts and Tales That Inspire you will meet individuals of all ages and walks of life who have been touched by God's love. You will be reminded that the Creator has no shortage of creative ways to pursue the hearts of His children: nature, people, circumstances-even pets.As we go through the daily demands of life, we can so gradually and so easily forget what matters most: that we are what matters most to God. The book Thoughts and Tales That Inspire compels us to see past the distractions and veneer of life, and into the battle that rages for our souls. When this life is over, which tale will we want the universe to have on record about us?

The announcer said, "a roadside bomb had killed five more soldiers." Their names would be added to a growing list of the fallen during the beginning of Operation Iraqi Freedom. We must remember that this memorial is not about being for or against this war. This is about remembering the individuals who sacrificed it all to defend our freedom.

Have you ever taken the time to examine the smallest detail on a fallen leaf, or the tiniest speck of color on a sitting butterfly? Jodi Sones uses her artist's eye to capture these details and share the beauty of nature. We would like to share some of her beautiful paintings with you here in this book. Enjoy!"I paint from photos getting my references from jig-saw puzzles I used to play on FaceBook (Puzzles for Friends), and an on-line photo sharing sites (Photos for Artists and Paint My Photo) plus a few other photographers and some of my own photos. I find most of my inspiration through nature. I have not painted en plein air (in the open air) yet, but maybe in my future. I use only primary colors when painting, and those are Cobalt Blue, Azo Yellow and Alizarin Crimson from M. Graham. I will use a bit of Chinese White at times, but try to keep that at a bare minimum as I do favor preserving the white of the paper with masking fluid over Chinese White."

There is a message in the sky. It is a message about God and his work. "Lift your eyes to the sky and see Who has created the stars. It is none other than the One who leads them by number, calling them all by name." Isa. 40:26. Adam named the animals but God named the stars.This study is a revision of several previous works on the subject. The materials presented here are drawn heavily from these pioneers. Foremost recognition is given to Joesph A. Seiss and his "The Gospel In The Stars," originally published in 1882.May you gain a fresh perspective, appreciation, as well as a greater understanding of the Infinite Wisdom of our Great Creator. While sublime lessons were drawn by the Master Designer with the intent to display His Glory, evil subverted such notions into the pseudo-science of astrology and its product, the horoscope.May the rediscovery of God's original purpose strengthen your faith and confidence in His Word.

God is AWESOME, and He does amazing things for each one of us, even when we don't realize it! Sometimes, by sharing OUR experiences of God in our lives with others, we encourage them to take a closer look and identify the hand of God in their own lives. Our amazing God is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow, and He will never leave us nor forsake us.In this book, Rita Roberts shares her many encounters with a God who loves and protects her.

She shows us how, if we take a moment to stop and take notice of things around us, our amazing God is found everywhere and is directing everything we see.

As we approach the end of time, a working knowledge of Bible prophecy is more important than ever. Ellen White promoted a careful study of the two main books of prophecy in the Bible-Daniel and Revelation."A much more careful study of Daniel and the Revelation is needed now than ever before." Counsels to Writers and Editors, p. 65.Ellen White suggested that the books of Daniel and Revelation should be bound together and published, showing they are related to the same subjects. She also advised that the prophecies of Daniel and Revelation should be printed in small books with necessary explanations added."Daniel and the Revelation explain each other, and they are to be understood as witnesses in the world." The Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, Vol. 7, p. 949.This little book fulfills this need. It contains the entire books of Daniel and Revelation, along with condensed explanations and Ellen White clarifications. Studies on Daniel and Revelation is a perfect study companion for any Bible student.

William Booth was so successful as a Methodist evangelist that other ministers were embarrassed. In 1857, these ministers voted overwhelmingly to remove him from general evangelism. They moved to make him pastor of a small district.William's passion was to preach to the urban poor, but he accepted his new assignment and prayed for patience while he worked as a pastor. Finally, in 1860, his patience wore thin. Once more, he asked for full-time evangelistic work, and again, was refused. This time, inspired by his wife, Catherine, he left the Methodist Church.The future looked bleak for William, Catherine, and their four small children. Prayerfully, Catherine told him, "The Lord will be with us.

This volume has been prepared in answer to many urgent requests from teachers and other workers. While there is abundant factual material available for nature teaching, there is a scarcity of illustrative material for bringing out the spiritual lessons which nature was originally designed to teach.There is no attempt to make the subject matter exhaustive, for the obvious reason that nature is infinite in its scope, and no amount of study could ever exhaust its lessons. Since it is the expression of the thoughts of God, there will be an eternity of study before the nature student, and yet he will ever find new wonders to explore, new mysteries to solve.In the preparation of this material the author has consulted many works of a technical nature, dealing with all phases of science and nature study; he has also drawn from the writings of several world-renowned authors, among whom are the names of Ellen G. White, Hugh Macmillan, Henry Drummond, Charles Spurgeon, and others.
