The Way, the Truth, and the Life

Who Is a Christian? What Is Christianity?

By: Merle A. Barlow

This book describes, from various perspectives, the Love, Mercy, and Grace of someone who loves you and me. Unlike a novel, each of the chapters in my book is an independent topic. Each chapter topic is relatively brief, except the last. The last chapter is a comprehensive presentation of the answers to these questions: Who is a Christian?, and What is Christianity? My supreme and profound purpose for this book and its content is to proclaim, celebrate, praise, and glorify Jesus, His Faith, and His Truth. Author Merle Barlow reveals Gods plan of reconciliation with humanity. Jesus tells us that mans standardsreligionsrepresent the broad way that will lead to destruction (Hell), and many people will go this way. Jesus tells us that His Way is the narrow way that leads to life (Heaven), and relatively few people will choose this way. This book is about truth. Conditional and relative truth are human fabrications. Truth has no versions. God is the author of truth. He, and He alone, is the authority for Righteousness, and His Truth will free you from the bondage of sin. Life is a significant theme in this book. Jesus has conquered Satan, Sin, Death, and Hell. He tells you that you can have this same victory. Jesus tells you that you can have eternal life if you will trust Him. He asks you: Do you believe this?

The Pythagorean Theorem

The Pythagorean Theorem

By: Merle A. Barlow

Pythagoras, a famous Greek scholar, sathematician, and philosopher, formulated a proof for a theorem that is named for him—the Pythagorean theorem. This theorem states that in any right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. The Pythagorean theorem for right-angled triangles likely was known long before the time of Pythagoras. It was probably used by the ancient Egyptians to construct the pyramids. The theorem is quite believable without rigorous proof to anyone willing to expend a modest effort in some experimentation. One method is to draw a number of right-angled triangles in as wide a variety as practicable and measure all of the sides. It will be determined that, for each triangle drawn, the square of the length of the side opposite the right angle is about equal to the sum of the lengths of the squares of the other two sides. Another method requires the availability of a balance. For this more interesting experiment, construct a right-angled triangle and a square on each side using a piece of sheet metal or cardboard. Then cut out the three squares and weigh them on the balance. The square on the hypotenuse should balance the other two. Contained within this book are some rigorous proofs and some interesting perspectives regarding right angles and right-angled triangles. Doubtless, this theorem is one of the most useful concepts in mathematics.

Mathematics, Puzzles, Riddles, Expositions

By: Merle A. Barlow

div> This book provides an interesting mixture of mathematical questions, puzzles & riddles, and explanatory information regarding various topics. Do not be reluctant to enjoy the mathematics section, because all questions have answers and solutions – you can have the satisfaction of understanding the detailed solutions. This is true for all three sections of the book. Scientists use various instruments in studying the subjects of their research. Mathematicians also employ an instrument for their analysis and research. Their instrument, however, is not a physical device. The mathematician’s significant resource is an intellectual instrument, having the functionality of reason and inspiration. This instrument cannot be seen. But, also, no one has ever seen a geometric point, or a number. You have seen the symbol that is written to represent a number, but the number itself has no physical existence that can be experienced with any of our five senses that were given to us by the Creating, Sustaining, and Redeeming God of all Reality. Mathematicians work with ideas, and so it is appropriate that their significant instrument is mental, because the very substance and essence of mathematics exists only in the human imagination. In the brevity of this book, you can only experience a few snapshots or portraits of the materialization of some thoughts and ideas relating to the reality of our universe. It is my desire that you (the reader) will determine this kaleidoscope of ideas to be an incentive to recognize and enjoy some of the abundant treasures of our existence.

The Number & The Force

The Number & The Force

By: Merle A. Barlow

Mathematical Pi For thousands of years it seemed natural and reasonable that a mathematical or geometrical relationship would be discovered between the circle and the square. It seemed logical that the circle could be measured as squares and rectangles are measured. That, however, is incorrect. And, our puzzling friend, the value called pi, is responsible for this perplexing situation. We continue to explore and examine additional digits of pi with the anticipation of discovering some clue to the complete and complex nature of this mysterious number... AND Gravitation What is the mysterious force that gives stability to the universe? What is this force that continues to puzzle scientists? How does this force exert its influence across vast distances of space, and more fundamentally, why does it exist? Science is inadequate to explain the force of gravitation as well as all the "natural" laws that God has designed into His universe. These universal laws do not occur by random chance or natural selection. Gravitation, just like all the other physical laws, is a testimony to its Creator.

The Wordless Book

By: Merle A. Barlow

THE WORDLESS BOOK reveals the greatest love story of all history, and the greatest gift that anyone can receive. The colored pages illustrate the wonderful reconciliatory love of God for His human creations. The progression of colors represents the spiritual transformation that occurs when we, by faith, trust and receive the Lord Jesus as our Personal Savior. This trust assures our eternal Salvation. This book illustrates the Gospel, the Good News from Jesus that requires our response. Jesus died for you and me. He rose from the dead, and defeated Satan, Sin, Death, and Hell. A positive response to Jesus is the experience that changes a persons eternal future from Hell to Heaven. This is Christianity. The Black Pages represent the sinful nature of every person. Sin is not allowed in Heaven. God had a plan. [Reference Romans 3:10; 3:23; 6:23] The Red Pages represent the Blood of Jesus. Jesus paid the penalty for our sins so that we could be forgiven. [Reference Romans 5:8; John 3:16] The White Pages represent forgiven sin for all who trust Jesus. Jesus is the only Savior, the only Absolution. [Reference Psalm 51:10; John 1:12; 2 Corinthians 5:17] The Gold Pages represent Gods Heavenly Kingdom, the eternal home for all who are saved. [Reference John 14:13; Revelation 21:18, 21] The Green Pages represent maturing your faith and relationship with Jesus through Prayer, Bible study, and Worship with other Christians. [Reference Romans 12:2; 2 Timothy 2:15; 3:16; 2 Peter 3:18]
