Why do so many people on this planet believe in a divine being? Is it logical to believe in one? There are so many claims by so many religions, so which is real and logical? Religious sects cannot even agree amongst themselves on doctrines, how can there be a One true divine being then? Why do Christians believe this? Can ‘evolution’ and ‘God’ co-exist? This book uses logic and modern day examples to explain the numerous questions that may flood atheists, agnostics and Christians alike. As society progresses in the direction of science and technology, logic and scientific validation plays an increasing role in everyday thought processes. In the scientific and logical world, religion, faith, and beliefs get continuously challenged. Many once-faithful Christians may begin to question their Christian beliefs, or get confused on the validity of the numerous doctrines and teachings of various Christian sects. Similarly, the agnostic is thrown into confusion amongst the claims of the many Christian sects on the ‘Truth’. On the other end of the spectrum, the hard-core atheist begins to increasingly question the intelligence of these individuals that still believe in some sort of divine being(s). To address these, this book utilizes logical arguments, and expositions of modern day examples in hopes to bring a clearer picture to issues dealing with a divine creator, the search for the truth, and certain issues in Christianity.

Why do so many people on this planet believe in a divine being? Is it even sensible to believe in one? With increasing progression in human knowledge of the natural world around, there seems little reason to believe in a divine being. With this, the pressure increases on both the agnostic and Christian to abandon their search for the answer. Yet on the other front, the Christian also begins to face the rise of old enemies that once plagued Christian orthodoxy. Similar to its predecessor, this book and its compilation of themed articles addresses the issues in the logic, philosophy and thoughts of Christianity from an analytical point of view. Some of these articles serve to expand and clarify the points raised in its predecessor, and some on completely new topics. Yet unlike the predecessor, this book focuses more on the doctrine and basis of Orthodox Christian beliefs, and how Christians can apply them to everyday life through articles that academic, reflective, and argumentative. Just like ‘A Practical Guide to the Logic, Philosophy, and Thoughts of Christianity’, this book is the result of a single individual’s search for God. It promises to be challenging and thought provoking for the genuinely open-minded and interested. Even so, the articles are meant to be understood by any interested agnostic and Christian with a slow yet provocative push into the basis of Christianity and her doctrines.

Why is the peace of the Middle East so crucial in world peace? How is it that the Promised Land is the land flowing with milk and honey? What are the implications of the Bible lands in relation to world peace in the future? What are the proofs of Biblical accounts? Why do modern day Christians travel to the Bible lands? What does the politics of Israel and her neighbours have to do with Biblical prophecy? Do the Biblical lands have any impact or on theology today? Through a tour from Jordan to south Israel and up to the Golan heights, this book shows pictures of the key areas linked to major events in the Bible, and how the geography of the landscape and the history are tightly linked not only to Bible accounts, but also to the Bible prophecies to come. With links to online resources, the author explains the significance not only of the physical areas, but also addresses mysteries that remain unresolved such as the location of the Ark of Covenant. Intended as a simple guide for readers interested in the Bible lands in the context of both Bible history and current day situations, this book explains every picture and location visited in this tour with Chin Lien Bible Seminary, Singapore.

What has the field of psychology got to do with the Bible? Can it shed light on certain events in the Bible? Does it undermine the Bible and the teachings therein? Are there any secular psychology publications that can affirm Biblical events or teachings? Can psychology be used as an evangelistic tool? And has psychology been abused to justify unbiblical practices and concepts like demonology? As knowledge in the sciences grow, unbiblical interpretations flooded and will continue to flood the various disciplines. Psychology is a field that can study and affirm biblical teachings in areas where the other sciences cannot. To show this, the articles in the book leverage on modern day psychology understanding to illustrate the effects of the Fall and its effects on our understanding of God’s Word. Topics include the “Psychology of Evil”, introspection, and psychological understanding of languages, all to show how the Word of God, as recorded in the preserved texts of the Holy Scriptures, can be applied to our lives. Most importantly, the articles also aim to highlight that it is only with the Scriptures, can psychological findings make sense. The articles in the book expand on certain concepts and arguments previously mentioned in the previous books by the author: “A Practical Guide to the Logic, Philosophy, and Thoughts of Christianity”, “Another Practical Guide to the Logic, Philosophy, and Thoughts of Christianity”, as well as “A Guide to the Biblical Lands: Jordan and Israel”.

Just as nuclear fusion produces massive energy from combining two nuclei, a fusion in business, technology, and the arts can release massive value—creating whole new companies, industries, and human capabilities. Examples of the fusion technique for high-value, radical innovation are presented in this unique collection of stories about innovating across industries, fields, organizational silos, nations, social class, and more. This book is the result of a global research study of 30 world-class innovators who have collectively created billions of dollars’ worth of business value, as well as new advances in the arts and sciences that bring joy to the world and can save millions of lives. Insights from the journeys of the innovators provided in this book will help leaders, organizations, and individuals succeed in their innovative endeavors. In addition, each chapter provides a link to a short video that provides further insights, mostly from the innovators themselves. Innovation through Fusion is essential reading for individual innovators who would like to create the future; teams and organizations that need to craft radical or high-value innovations (especially across industries or organizational silos); and leaders concerned about declining returns on innovation efforts and uncertain about organizational survival in a disruptive world. The author provides a new model of lateral innovation—useful both as an innovation process and as a framework to assess your lateral innovation capabilities. The book is replete with value-creation examples of lives saved, billions of dollars of savings/growth, and new products, services, and companies, as well as stories of leading lateral innovators—who they are and how they succeeded.

Believing Philosophy introduces Christians to philosophy and the tools it provides believers, helping them understand, articulate, and defend their faith in an age of unbelief. Philosophy has been a part of Christianity since its earliest days, and theistic philosophy predates Christianity by thousands of years. But Christians today often don't realize or are skeptical of all that philosophy can offer them. In Part 1, author Dolores G. Morris explains why Christians should read and study philosophy. She begins with a historical overview of Christian philosophy from the church fathers to contemporary philosophers and then introduces the basic resources of philosophical reasoning: the role and aim of reason, distinctions between truth and reason and provability, and learning to read like a philosopher. These chapters address three foundational questions: What is philosophy? Why should a Christian study philosophy? How should a Christian study philosophy? In Part 2, Morris introduces students to philosophical arguments and questions relevant to Christians. She presents arguments by three key branches of philosophy: metaphysics, epistemology, and practical philosophy. Building on concepts introduced in Part 1, she explains what philosophical arguments are and how they ought to be evaluated from a philosophical and Christian perspective. The following chapters examine specific questions most pressing for Christians today: The problem of evil Rationality and faith Free will Skeptical theism The moral argument for the existence of God Reformed epistemology Each chapter introduces the problem, explains Christian responses, discusses the strengths and weaknesses of each response, and leaves the final verdict to the reader. Finally, each chapter concludes with a list of recommended further readings.

In Logic and the Way of Jesus, philosophy professor Travis Dickinson recaptures the need for a Christian view of reality, highlighting the use of reason and evidence to develop and defend Christian beliefs. He demonstrates how Jesus employed logic in his teachings, surveys the basic concepts of logic, and marries those concepts with practical application. While Dickinson contends that Christians have failed to engage the culture deeply because they have failed to emphasize and value a Christian intellect, he offers encouragement that embracing the life of the Christian mind can impact the world for the cause and kingdom of Christ.
