Book excerpt: Since the belief in a purely spiritual resurrection of Christ is prevalent in many cults, those involved in countering the rise and growth of cults would benefit greatly from reading this book. Dr. Walter Martin, author of 'The Kingdom of the Cults' Dr. Geisler's book is effectively designed as [an] antidote to the misery of turning Christ's factual resurrection into an event outside the bounds of ordinary history. Dr. John Warwick Montgomery, author of 'History and Christianity' Geisler demonstrates not only the danger in the theology of various cults but also the tendency to discount the bodily resurrection of the Lord, even among evangelicals. It is essential reading for every pastor and student. Dr. Paige Patterson, author of 'Song of Solomon' The proclamation that Jesus was raised in the same physical body in which he died is just as important today as it was in the first century.

Book excerpt: Aimed at the general reader with an interest in World War II and the U.S. Navy, this book looks at the massive salvage effort that followed the attack on Pearl Harbor, beginning with the damage control efforts aboard the sinking and damaged ships in the harbor on 7 December 1941 and ending in March 1944 when salvage efforts on the USS Utah were finally abandoned. Dan Madsen describes the Navy's dramatic race to clear the harbor and repair as many ships as possible so they could return to the fleet ready for war. Numerous photographs, many never before published in books for the general public, give readers a real appreciation for the momentous task involved, from the raising of the USS Oglala in 1942 and the USS Oklahoma in 1943 to the eventual dismantling of the above-water portions of the USS Arizona.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the happier moments in Carole Stielers life was on that day in 2006 when her husband, author David Charles Stieler, brought home a 1990 Harley-Davidson motorcycle. Flying in their vintage airplane or cruising in their classic Corvette were enjoyable adventures but experiencing life from the seat of a motorcycle offered a perspective that no other form of transportation could provide. This couple from rural Michigan had no way of knowing that the motorcycles arrival would mark the beginning of their final journey through life as they knew it. In The Ride, the Rose, and the Resurrection, David narrates their story of how a horrific hit-and-run motorcycle crash tore life out from under this middle-class American family. He tells of both his and Caroles psychological, spiritual, and physical battles to survive their near-death experience, and he communicates the harsh realities of the financial and insurance issues related to such an accident. This memoir not only offers a true account of the battle between life and death but also shares stories of compassion and suspicion, companionship and abandonment, and religion and faith, in which forgiveness becomes the key to resurrection.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a young girl, Rebecca struggled with a severe behavior problem. Her mother continuously sought the help of mental health professionals. When all else had failed, Rebecca's parents placed her in a program designed primarily for alcohol and drug rehabilitation, but which claimed it could cure her out-of-control behavior. The controversial treatment program was supposedly supervised by a psychiatrist, but in the 6 years Rebecca was there she never received an adequate psychiatric assessment. Only after leaving was Rebecca able to begin putting her shattered life together. Finally, correctly diagnosed, she began receiving psychotherapy and medication. Rebecca sued the treatment program for medical malpractice and won a major settlement in 1999. Today, while still requiring ongoing treatment, Rebecca lives on her own in relative peace. The story of Rebecca's battle to get well is told by her mother, Harryet, who refused to give up, and by Dr. Lewis Opler, who never stopped believing that with the right treatment Rebecca would recover.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this sequel to Space, Time and Incarnation, Thomas F. Torrance sets out the biblical approach to the Resurrection in terms of the intrinsic significance of the resurrected one, Jesus; and demonstrates that the Resurrection is entirely consistent with who Jesus was and what he did. The Resurrection is thus taken realistically, and treated as of the same nature, in the integration of physical and spiritual existence, as the death of Christ. All this is elucidated in the context of modern scientific thought, in such a way as to show that far from being frightened by modern science into a compromise of the New Testament's message of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ in body, it actually allows us to take its full measure. This classic volume from one of the premier English speaking theologian of the 20th century remains an important contribution to the field of systematic theology. For this Cornerstones edition, the preface is written by Paul D. Molnar.

A battle has broken out, and the enemy is on the inside, not the outside. In fact, the enemy has secretly placed dynamite at the evangelical foundation which supports the whole superstructure of Christian truth. Alarming? Yes, but true. Who is the enemy, and what is the evangelical foundation of truth?The answer emerges from recent significant actions by some evangelical schools and denominations. For example, one of the largest Protestant denominations in the world retains on the faculty of its school a professor who has denied in print that Jesus rose from the tomb in a literal, physical body. He contends Paul was convinced that the Christ who appeared to him be¬longed to another order of existence than the Christ the disciples had known in the flesh. The risen Christ has not a physical but a spiritual body (emphasis mine).A smaller influential denomination that sponsors a well-known evangelical seminary in America has just pronounced orthodox a professor who denies what the Apostle's Creed af-firms: "I believe . . . in the resurrection of the body [flesh]." He wrote of Christ: This suggests that after his resurrection his essential state was one of invisibility and immateriality. It will be spiritual also in that it is . . . neither fleshly nor fleshy. From this point of view the new body is qualitatively and numerically distinct from the old body (emphases mine).These developments signal a new and crucial battle inside the evangelical church-the battle for the resurrection. Fighting for the resurrection is not new; fighting for it inside evangelical circles is. Once it was only liberals who denied the physical, material resurrection; now some evangelicals have joined them. Traditionally, the historicity of the resurrection was denied; now it is the materiality of the resurrection body that is denied.Suppose you were in Jesus' tomb on that first Easter morning. What would you have seen? Jesus' dead body literally come to life and leave the tomb? No. According to this new departure from orthodoxy, you simply would have witnessed Jesus' body vanish before your eyes! In short, you would have observed the annihilation of His material body, not its resurrection.The implications of this new doctrinal departure are far reaching. They threaten the very foundation of our evangeli¬cal faith. The Bible declares that the resurrection is the very heart of the gospel (1 Cor. 15:1-3) and is even a condition of salvation (Rom. 10:9). Thus, to tamper with this foundation of faith is to undermine the whole superstructure of Christian truth.This book is an attempt to sound the trumpet of concern about this current trend in evangelical doctrine. It reveals alarming information about the latest attempts to redefine historic biblical truths to suit contemporary inclinations. It is an earnest plea to alert the body of Christ to one of the most significant doctrinal deviations of our time-one that hits at the very essence of the Christian faith.The Trojan horse is within and the dynamite has been placed. The battle for the resurrection is now within the evangelical church!
