10.0 out of 10.0

The Gospel of If by multi-published and award winning authors, Edward J. Mrkvicka Jr. and Kelly H. Mrkvicka, addresses the delicate issue of salvation and eternity through the lens of obedience and understanding God's Word.  This book is not for the faint hearted; Mrkvicka "sticks" to the Word of God as the "infallible" Word of God.  He states that according to moral decay and negligence of the Word of God, many who think they are on their way to Heaven, simply will find a completely different answer upon Judgment Day.  Therefore, the biblical doctrine of "If" needs to be applied to our daily lives.  The author unequivocally states that God gave us many promises, "if" we care to listen and follow directions.  Based on Scripture with thought-provoking assessments according to the Holy Scripture, the authors have published a work that preaches the gospel of repentance –that has been preached since the time of Christ, yet has been ignored, distorted and forgotten about in our modern day society where that which pleases man seems to trump God's Word.  Reading this book will not only challenge the average believer in Christ to dig deeper into God's Word, but brings conviction to many skeptics and non-believers alike, leading them to the free gift of grace and salvation through Jesus Christ.

Edward Mrkvicka unapologetically explains his position and why he writes with "tough love" – so that readers would come to know the truth and be set free – "You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free" (John 8:32).  The authors' desire is that readers will grasp God's Word and apply it to their lives, changing the course of their eternity.  He believes largely, as a whole, society has either misunderstood, ignored or just flat out rebelled against God's Word.  Rich with Scripture, Mrkvicka writes with a father's heart in addressing the most important question of all – Do you know where you will spend eternity?  With chapters such as: Understanding the Word of God, The Obvious, The Not So Obvious, The Somewhat Obscure, the author gives scripture upon scripture that proves the point that the Gospel of Christ is conditional.  He adamantly states that one cannot lay dormant, ignorant or complacent about the matter of salvation.  It is a free gift, but there are conditions…Yes, conditions that he lays out clearly and conscicely through Scripture. 

For those that desire "truth" from the Word of God, this book comes highly recommended.  Tackling this subject of "if" was no easy task, and Edward and Kelly Mrkvicka have done so in such a way that lays not condemnation, but brings all to repentance and to the Word of God as the only righteous standard.  Encouraging, one will find this book giving them an appetite for more of the "truths" of Scripture.  A highly recommended read!

Eternity, Hell, The After Life, The Bible - Biblical Christianity, Truth or Delusion

Mark M. Hanna, formerly a professor of philosophy for many years at California State University and Talbot School of Theology, releases Biblical Christianity: Truth or Delusion?  As a previous professor and instructor at the University of Southern California, he holds M.A. degrees in philosophy and world religions and a Ph.D. in philosophy. He earned his B.A. at the American University in Beirut while living there for four years and as such, he has lectured in numerous universities and theological seminaries across the globe. His works included: Crucial Questions in Apologetics and The True Path: Seven Muslims Make Their Greatest Discovery and his latest endeavor, Biblical Christianity: Truth or Delusion?

In Biblical Christianity: Truth or Delusion? Dr. Mark M. Hanna disputes the book: The Christian Delusion written by John Loftus and Dan Barker as he unequivocally dismantles each of their arguments one by one with precision.  This is a fascinating read that clearly reveals the fallaciousness of atheist contentions, pointing to their failed corroboration that carries further implications that provide positive evidence for biblical Christianity.  Within that the author discerns and presents a comprehensive theological and philosophical surmise from both biblical theologists and theories of many anti-Christians that are to be read carefully and understood in order to comprehend certain debates that coincide with one's destination and question of eternity.

Get on Board and Stay on Board by multi-published Christian author Pearl Nsiah-Kumi is a collection of poems, short writings and brief Bible studies based on the Gospel, giving believers and unbelievers alike the basis of eternal salvation through Jesus Christ, the Son of God.  Filled with scripture, the author teaches readers that all need the forgiveness of Jesus Christ to obtain eternal life in Heaven.

"James! Come on. Everyone's waiting for you."

"Coming Mom."

...flames on its way. Peter breathed a sigh of relief. He was shaking from head to toe. Thank You, Lord. That was ...

"Come on, James. Aren't you finished yet?"

"Won't be long."

"Have you got a book in there?"

...a near thing, but You came through just in time, as You always do. As Peter scrambled back onto the road, he took stock of the situation. The people in the car almost certainly died in the flames. That just left those at the hideout in the city. He had to get.....

"James! My iPad is missing. Have you been at Revelation Books again?"

"Faithwriters bookstore have good, wholesome Christian e-books to download, Mom. And some that you won't find anywhere else. You said so yourself." Now where was I? Oh, yes

He had to get back as soon as possible before they shipped the children to another place. Lord, please send a guardian angel to give me a lift.
He had no sooner...

"Stop trying to butter me up, James. You know that I think Faithwriters is the best place to buy Christian books. And to sell them, too. Why do you think I sell my Christian e-book there?
