Christianity Unshackled follows the development of Western thought over the last 2,000 years, showing how Christianity has grown up side-by-side with Western philosophy. Great errors have resulted from that entanglement, primarily because Western philosophy has its roots in the ancient Greek worldview. After untangling that mess, Harold R. Eberle rebuilds a Christian worldview, laying biblical truths on the ancient Hebrew foundation. This yields a worldview which is liberating, answers the questions of today's society and stands up against the most fearsome attacks from Christianity's modern opponents.

The Shack is one of the most popular 'Christian' books ever written, seemingly helping and comforting millions...BUT - is it good medicine? Do books like The Shack (and other offerings of pop-culture Christianity) actually give real, biblical and genuinely comforting answers to us when we walk through painful tragedies? THERE IS A BETTER ANSWER. This book will help you evaluate The Shack and other popular works of Christian culture in light of the always-true, always relevant Word of God. In UnSHACKled, you will find incredible hope and comfort. If you have suffered the death of a loved one, or sickness, depression, anxiety, fear, or addiction, you will be astonished by how God's son Jesus is PRACTICALLY the answer that you need to endure and overcome. Do we need a new answer for suffering, or are the answers and hope found in The Bible far better than we could have ever dreamed? Read UnSHACKled and be comforted by what Jesus has done for you, what Jesus is doing for you, and what He will do for you when He returns. I'm pastor, college professor, and writer Chase A. Thompson. I read The Shack in just three days, and was moved to tears more than a dozen times while reading. It was an easy to connect with book, and I enjoyed it. However, when The Shack is held up to the light of truth from the Bible, God's Word, it becomes clear that the book contains many troubling errors and false depictions of God. If you loved The Shack - I get it! I was moved and entertained by the book too...BUT - the truth of God's answer for suffering, found in the Bible, is far more comforting and compelling than anything in The Shack. Don't take my word for it, however - read UnSHACKled and compare what The Shack says to what the Bible says. You will discover the truth for yourself, and in the process learn how to evaluate other Christian movies, books, preachers and teachings in light of the solid bedrock truth of God's Word.

Glimpses of light penetrate a world of abject darkness, making Unshackled a most surprising, engaging and liberating read-a powerful and moving story of freedom, forgiveness and moving forward in life.

Quickly he consumed his breakfast and walk to the front of house and standing on the pourch, he noted a trail of blood leading across the street and there he found his uncle beating the mailman who laid unconscious in a pool of his own blood.

Over sessions which lasted two to three hours each time, every week for half a year, George Yeo met and mused over a wide range of topics with writer Woon Tai Ho and research assistant Keith Yap. Speaking from notes, he began with himself and his hope for Singapore, and then spanned over a wide range of subjects — from the importance of human diversity and Singapore's reflection within itself of the world, to history, politics, economics, philosophy, taijigong and religion. He gives his views on India, China, ASEAN, Europe, the US and other parts of the world, and how Singapore's history and destiny are connected to all of them. The style is conversational and anecdotal.George Yeo: Musings is exactly that — musings. Some themes recur throughout the book which reflect his view of life. But there is no grand theory. He does not expect all of his reflections to be of interest to everyone, but he hopes that everyone will find something of interest.This special edition offers a selection of Musings from the three series.

The Gospel is more powerful, more redeeming, and greater than we live. I have been deeper in sin than most, like Paul, the woman at the well, and Peter after his denial. I have missed God, lived as an outcast sinner, and denied Gods presence and power in my life. Yet God has shown me His New Covenant of hope, the secret of hope I live by and love. If you or someone you love has an ugly, seemingly unforgivable past like mine, you too can know by evidence from the Bible that you can be forgiven. You can learn to live forgiven, with a clear conscience. The relief from all guilt and shame is a pivotal gift of the Gospel that we get the privilege of offering in turn to others! Are you or someone you care about down-trodden? Forgotten? Guilt-ridden? This book is for you. If youve had an abortion; if youre gender questioning; if youve been abused or addicted, its for you. It is for those society has given up on; its for the worst of us and the best of us. Its for those who think they are good enough and not sinners. All people everywhere can turn,look at Christs love, receive His forgiveness and know His salvation. He forgives murderHis grace changes everything! Uniquely conveying truths through a series of four elephant parables, this book seeks to reveal the magnitude of what is at stake when we live true to the real Gospel, and what happens when we understand and herald the Gospel in the power Christ entrusted to us. May we use it for His glory, to advance His kingdom; for He came to save, not condemn.

God does not suggest, he commands that we do justice. Social justice is not optional for the Christian. All injustice affects others, so talking about justice that isn't social is like talking about water that isn't wet or a square with no right angles. But the Bible's call to seek justice is not a call to superficial, kneejerk activism. We are not merely commanded to execute justice, but to "truly execute justice." The God who commands us to seek justice is the same God who commands us to "test everything" and "hold fast to what is good." Drawing from a diverse range of theologians, sociologists, artists, and activists, Confronting Injustice without Compromising Truth, by Thaddeus Williams, makes the case that we must be discerning if we are to "truly execute justice" as Scripture commands. Not everything called "social justice" today is compatible with a biblical vision of a better world. The Bible offers hopeful and distinctive answers to deep questions of worship, community, salvation, and knowledge that ought to mark a uniquely Christian pursuit of justice. Topics addressed include: Racism Sexuality Socialism Culture War Abortion Tribalism Critical Theory Identity Politics Confronting Injustice without Compromising Truth also brings in unique voices to talk about their experiences with these various social justice issues, including: Michelle-Lee Barnwall Suresh Budhaprithi Eddie Byun Freddie Cardoza Becket Cook Bella Danusiar Monique Duson Ojo Okeye Edwin Ramirez Samuel Sey Neil Shenvi Walt Sobchak In Confronting Injustice without Compromising Truth, Thaddeus Williams transcends our religious and political tribalism and challenges readers to discover what the Bible and the example of Jesus have to teach us about justice. He presents a compelling vision of justice for all God's image-bearers that offers hopeful answers to life's biggest questions.
