Jesus in an Age of Controversy

By: Doug Groothuis

Who is this man Jesus? An ordinary man about whom the early Christians made up extraordinary stories? A spiritual guru or master who tapped into a cosmic consciousness that we can all aspire to? Or is he the unique Son of God? Best-selling books challenge us to rethink our ideas about Jesus. The Jesus Seminar makes headlines with its systematic attempts to undermine the accuracy of the Gospel accounts. New Age teachings about Jesus have found their way into many pulpits. In response to this confusion, Jesus in an Age of Controversy provides a straightforward, easy to understand study of the questionable foundations and faulty conclusions of these new views. This important book provides the historical and logical evidence that confirms biblical teachings about Jesus. It will enable you to defend your faith against attack, help those struggling with questions and doubts, and encourage you with the overwhelming weight of evidence that confirms that Jesus is the only Savior and Lord.

The Kingdom of God and the Yellow Barn Church

The Kingdom of God and the Yellow Barn Church

A Journey of Spiritual Detours and an Unforeseen Destination

By: Doug Hickerson

All his life, author Doug Hickerson repeated "Thy Kingdom come" in the Lord's Prayer. Yet, God's kingdom seemed irrelevant to him, even as a seminary student and a church layman. Hickerson was a liberal Protestant, active in a mainline denominational church and in community causes. He became curious about spiritual paths to God beyond the Church. While in his midfifties and still active in his church, he started a spiritual journey that included exploring other religions and spirituality. Steeped in the popular "New Age" spirituality of the 1990s, he wrote about the coming new millennium. He felt that humankind was evolving spiritually and was headed for an enlightened utopia, the "Age of Aquarius." His humanistic visions ended abruptly when he met families who belonged to "the yellow barn church" in his village. In their fellowship, it became clear that God-not man-is in control and lovingly rules our destiny. He awakened to the Kingdom of God present now on earth with its fulfillment yet to come. At age sixty-eight, Hickerson's life-changing experience in the evangelical Church and in God's kingdom is deeply personal and grounded in the Bible and solid theology. The warm and at times humorous narrative in The Kingdom of God and the Yellow Barn Church details God's providence and promptings over Hickerson's lifetime.

This Far West

By: Doug Williams

This Far West

By: Doug Williams

This Far West is a riveting suspense thriller about the human costs of family secrets, personal ambition and the pursuit of power. Kevin Columbus knew his father died in Vietnam. He saw the casket lowered into the ground at Arlington. So when he gets evidence in the mail that suggests otherwise, he’s understandably skeptical. But when the sender, an apparent ex-CIA operative, mysteriously dies, Kevin sets out in search of his father…and discovers an America he never dreamed existed. His friend Maxie McQueen, an ex-cop and single mother fighting for custody of her son, is struggling as a private eye after being tossed from the force for nearly killing a racist colleague. She takes a missing persons case with a twist: The subject was last observed at the scene where Sen. Richard Worth, a leading presidential candidate, was murdered 25 years earlier. As their searches converge, Walter Frost – an ex-aide to Worth and now one of Washington’s most influential men – watches with growing alarm. He knows the government can’t, and won’t, allow Maxie or Kevin to find the truth. Because if that happens, a carefully contrived fiction around Worth’s death will unravel spectacularly and put the nation at true risk.

Deceived by the Light

By: Doug Groothuis

Can we really know what waits for us in the afterlife? Deceived by the Light... affirms that the Bible alone reveals all we need to know about life, death, and eternity. In the fascinating, mystical world of near death experiences, Betty Eadie's testimony is most extraordinary. In her widely read bestseller Embraced by the Light, she claims she met and conversed with the Lord Jesus Christ and received amazing revelations about spiritual progression, death, and the afterlife. Was Eadie's experience for real? And what about the many other near death testimonies that speak of visits to heaven or hell - are they credible? Should we believe their messages? Doug Groothuis, a well respected expert on new religious movements, takes us to the clear teaching of Scripture for some surprising answers. Along the way he clearly addresses the fears and questions many people have about death and what comes after.

Resurrecting Retail

The Future of Business in a Post-Pandemic World

By: Doug Stephens

Few crises in modern history have so completely disrupted every aspect of daily life as has the Covid-19 pandemic. What began as a small medical ripple in Wuhan, China, a city many of us had never heard of, quickly erupted into a tsunami of epic proportions. Every market, industry, vertical, profession, service, and category of product was in some way rocked by its impact. And, for the first time in recorded history, every wheel, cog and gear in the global retail industry ground to a virtual halt. From two-time, international best-selling author and futurist Doug Stephens, Resurrecting Retail is not just a riveting story of the unprecedented crash of an industry during this time of crisis but a roadmap for its rebirth. Meticulously researched in real time from inside the crisis, Resurrecting Retail provides a comprehensive and surprising vision of how Covid-19 will reshape every aspect of consumer life, including the very essence of why we shop.

Tobias's Story

The Life and Civil War Career of Tobias B. Kaufman

By: Doug Kauffmann

The focus of the book is a biographical telling of the Civil War career of Colonel Tobias B. Kaufman. Colonel Kaufman has rightly been called one of the most illustrious of the Civil War heroes of Central Pennsylvania by the well-known Pennsylvania Civil War soldier and author, J. Howard Wert. Kaufman rose from a Private to a Colonel during the war. Kaufman was a natural leader and a tough and courageous fighter. Kaufman fought in some fifteen major battles including Glendale, Second Bull Run, Antietam, Gettysburg, The Wilderness, and Spotsylvania. This biography features not only the career of Colonel Kaufman, but also a summary history of his first regiment, the First Pennsylvania Reserves. Of particular interest in his personal career was his dramatic capture on the Bermuda Hundred Peninsula and the heart-warming story of the return of his pistol by his Confederate captor some thirty years after the war.

Swish

Swish

By: Doug Leaman

After World War II, when basketball courts sprang up in Philadelphia neighborhoods, thousands of young men devoted their teenage years trying to become superstars. During the 1950s and 1960s, players like Tom Gola, Ernie Beck, and Dippy Carosi, and later Hal Lear and Wilt Chamberlain, recreated the game of basketball into an East Coast love affair. In May of 1949, at age thirteen, author Doug Leaman fell in love with basketball, and his quest for stardom revolved around a pair of sneakers, a ball, and the swishing of a net. From that day forward, the art of basketball dominated every aspect of his life. In Swish, he tells how he devoted his first two years on the court working on his two-handed set shot, and how, after researching his goal, Leaman was able to shoot the eyes out of the basket during his high school, college, and service time in the Marine Corps. Leaman shares his story to show how a young athlete who participates in sports can achieve tremendous results by hanging in there and never giving up. He believes that although most athletes wont become superstars or all-Americans, the competitive experiences, the drive, and the determination to excel enriches ones life fully.

Firearms of the Texas Rangers

From the Frontier Era to the Modern Age

By: Doug Dukes

From their founding in the 1820s up to the modern age, the Texas Rangers have shown the ability to adapt and survive. Part of that survival depended on their use of firearms. The evolving technology of these weapons often determined the effectiveness of these early day Rangers. John Coffee “Jack” Hays and Samuel Walker would leave their mark on the Rangers by incorporating new technology which allowed them to alter tactics when confronting their adversaries. The Frontier Battalion was created at about the same time as the Colt Peacemaker and the Winchester 73—these were the guns that “won the West.” Firearms of the Texas Rangers, with more than 180 photographs, tells the history of the Texas Rangers primarily through the use of their firearms. Author Doug Dukes narrates famous episodes in Ranger history, including Jack Hays and the Paterson, the Walker Colt, the McCulloch Colt Revolver (smuggled through the Union blockade during the Civil War), and the Frontier Battalion and their use of the Colt Peacemaker and Winchester and Sharps carbines. Readers will delight in learning of Frank Hamer’s marksmanship with his Colt Single Action Army and his Remington, along with Captain J.W. McCormick and his two .45 Colt pistols, complete with photos. Whether it was a Ranger in 1844 with his Paterson on patrol for Indians north of San Antonio, or a Ranger in 2016 with his LaRue 7.62 rifle working the Rio Grande looking for smugglers and terrorists, the technology may have changed, but the gritty job of the Rangers has not.
