Angels
by Billy Graham (1994)
About this book
Angels have a much more important place in the Bible than the devil and his demons. Therefore, I undertook a biblical study of the subject of angels. Not only has it been one of the most fascinating studies of my life, but I believe the subject is more relevant today then perhaps at any time in history. The Bible teaches that angels intervene in the affairs of nations. God often uses them to execute judgment on nations. They guide, comfort and provide for the people of God in the midst of suffering and persecution. Martin Luther once said in Tabletalk, "An angel is a spiritual creature without a body created by God for the service of Christendom and the church." In the midst of the world crisis through which we are destined to live in the years ahead, the subject of angels will be of great comfort and inspiration to believers in God and a challenge to unbelievers to believe. - Preface.

Recovering redemption
Matt Chandler and Michael Snetzer
Recovering Redemption, written with a pastor{u2019}s bold intensity and a counselor{u2019}s discerning insight, takes you deeply into Scripture to take you deeply inside yourself, discovering that the heart of all our problems is truly the problem of our hearts. But because of what God has done, and because of what God can do, the most confident, contented person you know could actually be you-redeemed through Jesus Christ. _ None of us, really, can do what{u2019}s required to change our lives for the better, taking what{u2019}s persistently frustrating and making it perfectly satisfying. Yet as hopeless as that may sound, it is the flat-line truth in which good news comes to life . . . to your life. For just as what{u2019}s lost can be found, what{u2019}s wrong can-even now-be recovered.
The Fabric of This World
Lee Hardy
"Work concerns all of us: we spend more of our waking hours working than doing anything else. The importance of work and the need to reflect more fully and meaningfully on it make Lee Hardy's Fabric of This World a highly relevant book."--Back cover.
Judaism, Christianity, and Islam
F.E. Peters
F.E. Peters has taken the basic texts of the three related--and competitive--religious systems we call Judaism, Christianity, and Islam and has juxtaposed them in a topical and parallel arrangement according to the issues that most concerned all these "children of Abraham." Through these extensive passages, and the author's connective commentary, the three traditions are shown with their similarities sometimes startlingly underlined and their well-known differences now more profoundly exposed. What emerges from this ambitious work is a panorama of belief, practice, and sensibility that will broaden our understanding of our religious and political roots in a past that is, by these communities' definition, still the present. Throughout the work we hear an amazing variety of voices, some familiar, some not, all of them central to the primary and secondary canons of their own tradition: alongside the Scriptural voice of God are the words of theologians, priests, visionaries, lawyers, rulers and the ruled.--From publisher description.
