| christianity 101: 101 Good Reasons to Believe James D. Sideras, 2018-01-04 This book presents a strong case for the Christian faith by using scientific evidence and philosophical reasoning. Although an abundance of Christian apologetic textbooks exist, most are not easily accessible because they offer long and scholarly treatments of subject matter that may not appeal to lay readers. This book differs in two ways. First, it presents the case for Christianity in a friendly scholarly prose, which enables readers to plainly understand each reason to believe. Second, these reasons are concisely structured so that within minutes, readers can quickly examine each argument in light of the evidence presented. 101 Good Reasons to Believe is essential reading for theists who wish to strengthen their faith in God and for nontheists who desire to critically investigate the truth claims of the Bible. This book includes topics such as: astronomical evidence for the existence of God, evidence for creation and intelligent design, refutation of Darwinian evolution, the historicity of Jesus, why there is human suffering if God exists, the accuracy of the Bible, and evidence for heaven and hell. The 101 reasons presented make thought-provoking and compelling reading for scholars and non-scholars alike. |
| christianity 101: Galatians Bruce Bickel, Stan Jantz, 2008 Free. Unearned. A gift. God's acceptance comes with no strings attached as you trust in His Son, Jesus. This is the whole gospel. But for 2000 years, Christians-including the first-century Galatians-have often believed they must add performance requirements to the gospel in order to truly earn God's approval. Listen in as the apostle Paul blows the lid off this selfdeception by explaining...: why the Good News becomes bad news when you mix it with rules, how to sniff out people who are promoting a false, rules-added gospel, why adding requirements to God's grace actually subtracts from your enjoying Christ, why trust is the only thing needed to receive God's grace and live in it day to day, Galatians shows you that life in God's Spirit, through His grace, is still His plan for freedom-so you can live out your full potential as His child.

| christianity 101: Ten Prayers God Always Says Yes To Anthony DeStefano, 2009-02-10 There have been thousands of books written about prayer and millions of sermons preached about it, yet people continue to wonder: Why doesn’t God answer me when I cry out to him? In light of all the problems we face in life, we want to know why God is often so “silent” when we pray to him. Anthony DeStefano, author of the bestselling A Travel Guide to Heaven, knew there had to be an answer to this mystery, so he set out on a quest to find prayers that God says yes to all the time. The result is an extraordinary new book that has the ability to dramatically change the lives of readers of all faiths. Each short, powerful prayer in Ten Prayers God Always Says Yes To addresses a particular problem people commonly face in life—from accepting the existence of God to trying to make ends meet; from getting through terrible suffering to coping with everyday stress; from overcoming fear to finding your God-given destiny. Presented with a certainty and vigor that are sure to pique the interest of even those who are not spiritually inclined, these prayers will help readers find solutions to life’s most difficult situations and provide meaningful and inspiring answers to the vexing questions we have about the purpose of our time on earth. In a world awash with superficial self-help books and deceptive gimmicks, Ten Prayers God Always Says Yes To is the real thing. Using hundreds of scriptural references to support his claims, DeStefano writes in a simple, straightforward, and uplifting manner that makes the most profound theological matters understandable to all. In the words of the author, “This is a spiritual treasure chest that is available to everyone….This book is about prayers that work—really, truly work.” |

| christianity 101: Another Gospel? Alisa Childers, Lee Strobel, 2020 This may be the most influential book you will read this year. --Lee Strobel, bestselling author of The Case for Miracles A Movement Seeks to Redefine Christianity. Some Think that It Is a Much-Needed Progressive Reformation. Others Believe that It Is an Attack on Historic Christianity. Alisa Childers never thought she would question her Christian faith. She was raised in a Christian home, where she had seen her mom and dad feed the hungry, clothe the homeless, and love the outcast. She had witnessed God at work and then had dedicated her own life to leading worship, as part of the popular Christian band ZOEgirl. All that was deeply challenged when she met a progressive pastor, who called himself a hopeful agnostic. Another Gospel? describes the intellectual journey Alisa took over several years as she wrestled with a series of questions that struck at the core of the Christian faith. After everything she had ever believed about God, Jesus, and the Bible had been picked apart, she found herself at the brink of despair . . . until God rescued her, helping her to rebuild her faith, one solid brick at a time. In a culture of endless questions, you need solid answers. If you or someone you love has encountered the ideas of progressive Christianity and aren't sure how to respond, Alisa's journey will show you how to determine--and rest in--what's unmistakably true. |

| christianity 101: Christianity 101 Darryl L. Gay, 2024-05-25 Many of the foundational truths of Christianity have been lost or distorted by those who have erroneously taken the Holy Scriptures out of context to often make them say something different from their original intent. As a result, the church of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ has split and splintered in every possible direction, and many are confused by what is currently presented to them as Christianity. The major purpose of this book is to bring clarity to many of the lost or misunderstood teachings that were clearly understood by the first-century church. The Holy Spirit gave the revelation to the first-century apostles, and He has again raised up apostles in the twenty-first-century to bring restoration and renewal to the church that Jesus Christ died for. Let's rediscover these basic but powerful truths together. |

| christianity 101: Christianity 101 Chad Price, 2017-11-14 What exactly is a Christian? Many people will tell you that a Christian is someone who believes in God, does good things to get into heaven, and then forces their faith onto others. Is this true? If God is good, why do bad things happen? If God is loving, why would He send good people to hell? Unfortunately these questions, and others like it, can stump current believing Christians into answering simply with Uhm... Despite the vast majority of the United States claiming to be Christian, we live in a world where most Christians can hardly explain the basic fundamentals of their own faith. This has produced a judgmental group of believers who spout hate at anyone who believes differently than they do, has divided our churches, and has made it so that Christians live no differently than their fellow non-believing citizens. Overall, this book will use Scripture to explain who Christ wants His people to be, it will help you answer the tough questions you will get from the world, and discern true Christian teachings from false rabble. For you nonbelievers out there, I encourage you to read this as well. See what a Christian truly is for yourself, not what the media tells you we are. Finally, I pray that this book helps everyone who reads it discover the grace, mercy, and love of Christ. I pray that this book will inspire you to pursue the Lord with all your heart. As the Scriptures say, The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom... (Prov. 9:10, NIV) and, You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart (Jer. 29:13, NIV). |
