140 All-Time Must-See Movies for Film Lovers Now Available On DVD

By: John Howard Reid

John Howard Reid's books are not only noted for the wealth of essential information he provides on each film he discusses, but for the insight and clarity of his reviews. Reid has been reviewing films professionally since 1955, and has contributed an enormous amount of material to newspapers and magazines in England, France, Australia and the USA. In the course of his work, Reid has come into contact with many famous stars and directors, and is often able to provide quotes and information that no other sources can duplicate. As a reviewer for one of Reid's previous books rightly pointed out, "Nobody does it better than John Howard Reid." In fact, Reid often provides far more information than the titles of his books suggest. "140 All-Time Must-See Movies" is a typical case. The book actually provides full details and reviews for 160 feature films plus brief comments on over 30 shorts.

Challenged: Living Our Faith in a Post Modern Age

By: John King

My wife and I love our sons unconditionally and equally. Talking with one of them about his atheism has brought me to a new dimension in my relationship with him, to a review of my own christian beliefs, to a more critical examination of the church, and to a different understanding of ministry in today's world. As personal as I make this all sound, my family represents a thousand families, a hundred thousand and more, who have sat in painful silence because religious differences have taken away their voice. They tire of confrontation, angry discussions, verse hurling and jabbing one another with theories over every conceivable divisive issue. It is a powerful idea that those who do not share our faith should know that we do, not so much in our argument as in our love. It is time to listen.

Handbook of Biblical Evidences

The Facts on *Jesus *Creation *The Bible

By: John Ankerberg,John Weldon

Many Christians are afraid to talk about their faith for fear of not knowing what to say. How can they prepare themselves? That's the purpose of "Handbook of Bible Evidences"--written by two bestselling apologetics experts, John Ankerberg and John Weldon. They provide clear and thoughtful responses to the tough questions seekers are most likely to ask--questions such as... "Hasn't evolution proved that Genesis is wrong?" "Isn't the Bible filled with historical and scientific errors?" "What evidence is there that Jesus rose from the dead?" Focused on topics related to the Bible, Jesus Christ, and creation, this powerful resource deals head-on with false assumptions and frequent misconceptions people have. And it's based on more than 30 years of apologetics research and ministry to unbelievers. A superb tool for helping readers know how to share their faith with confidence! Formerly titled "Ready with an Answer.

Making Sense of Your World

A Biblical Worldview, Second Edition

By: W. Gary Phillips,William E. Brown,John Stonestreet

Making Sense of Your World offers a basic, accessible introduction to biblical worldview that covers all of these aspects of world-view thinking. Part One compares the basic worldviews, Part Two contrasts (and seeks to defend) the biblical worldview with the others, and Part Three constructs a biblical worldview in four key areas. This book is an overview; the Christian thinker is invited to continue his or her study through the recommended readings at the end of each chapter--an ongoing task Paul labels the 'renewing' of our minds (Romans 12:2).

Amphibian Diaries

A Field Guide for Truth-Seekers

By: John Hansel Jr.

Amphibian Diaries is a Field Guide for Truth-Seekers. A little green stowaway, named BP, in the author’s baggage teaches six principles for recognizing Truth. These principles enable genuine, interpersonal dialogue while searching for personal significance. The reader is invited to join the LifeBet, inspired by the philosophy of Blaise Pascal, which states that all of us live our lives by a bet we have made--there is a God, or there is no God. LifeBet participants commit to seven discussions about foundational life issues: Origin, Meaning, Morality, and Destiny. BP and the author argue that these high-level conversations, while difficult, are essential. They are made practical and effective with SEARCH, an acronym for the six principles: We all have a Soul with a hole, a need to be fulfilled by a significant and secure life. We have an intrinsic Expectation of satisfaction that we cling to by faith. We express our beliefs in terms of Answers to life’s ultimate and necessary questions: Origin, Meaning, Destiny, and Morality. Our Reason to believe is always a matter of logical, empirical, and practical variables. Our beliefs are an expression of our view of the Correspondence between our ideas about reality and reality itself. Intrapersonal, interpersonal, and inspirational Humility is required for the entire conversation Life and God. Readers have access to a website with concise and insightful support materials as well as connection for interaction with the author and others: www.AmphibianDiaries.com. The book, the website, and the concept are all designed to move the reader in the direction of hope in a gentle and respectful manner. It presumes that if people genuinely seek Truth they will find themselves in the freedom of God’s love.

By: John Stewart

On March 31, 1943, the musical Oklahoma! premiered and the modern era of the Broadway musical was born.

Troublous Times In Canada

By: John A. Macdonald

Troublous Times in Canada" is a historical account written by John A. Macdonald, the first Prime Minister of Canada. Macdonald sheds light on a critical period in Canadian history that followed the conclusion of the American Civil War in 1865. Macdonald expresses his concern that Canadian authors and historians have largely overlooked the gravity of the events that transpired during this time. The author emphasizes that the Fenian troubles of 1866 and 1870 posed significant dangers to Canada, which, if not addressed promptly, could have led to the severance of Canada from British dominion. Macdonald draws on his personal experiences serving on the Niagara frontier during the Fenian Raids of 1866 and 1870. He aims to provide a faithful account of the events during these campaigns, relying not only on his memory but also on official records and reports from the Militia Department in Ottawa and the Ontario Bureau of Archives in Toronto. "Troublous Times in Canada" by John A. Macdonald serves as a historical record of the Fenian troubles in Canada, offering insights into the challenges faced by the young nation during a critical period in its history.

Does it matter if Jesus was resurrected from the dead? What about all the other world religions - don't they offer a way to God? Does it matter what I believe as long as I'm sincere? What proof is there that the Bible is divinely inspired? If you find these questions hard to answer or if you have trouble sharing the reason for the hope that is in you here are the responses to some of the common questions skeptics ask about Christianity. In a reader-friendly style John Ankerberg & John Weldon document the extensive evidences for the reliability of the Bible the divinity of Jesus the certainty of the resurrection & the uniqueness of Christianity.
