About this book
In March 2015, millions worldwide were captivated by the dramatic rescue of Lily Groesbeck, an eighteen-month-old girl who'd somehow survived fourteen hours in an overturned car that was partially submerged in an icy-cold Utah river after her mother lost control of the vehicle. The four responding officers heard a voice: "Please hurry, there isn't much time." They assumed it was Lily's mother who was still trapped inside. Once the two victims were recovered, the officers realized their mistake--her mother had been killed on impact. The officers all wondered the same thing: What was that voice? --Publisher.

What is the Gospel?
Greg D. Gilbert
This newest addition to the IXMarks series presents a clear, straightforward statement of the gospel, the third mark of a healthy church. What is the gospel? It seems like a simple question, yet it has been known to incite some heated responses, even in the church. How are we to formulate a clear, biblical understanding of the gospel? Tradition, reason, and experience all leave us ultimately disappointed. If we want answers, we must turn to the Word of God. Greg Gilbert does so in What Is the Gospel? Beginning with Paul's systematic presentation of the gospel in Romans and moving through the sermons in Acts, Gilbert argues that the central structure of the gospel consists of four main subjects: God, man, Christ, and a response. The book carefully examines each and then explores the effects the gospel can have in individuals, churches, and the world. Both Christian and non-Christian readers will gain a clearer understanding of the gospel in this valuable resource.
Angels
Billy Graham
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.
The battle belongs to the Lord
Joyce Meyer
"In this complement to the bestselling 'Battlefield of the Mind, ' Meyer masterfully illustrates how three of the greatest men of the Bible--Jehosaphat, Gideon, and Elijah--came through their own time of crisis with victory by allowing God to fight their battles for them"--The publisher's web site.
