The perfect gift! A specially priced, beautifully designed hardcover edition of The Joy of the Gospel with a foreword by Robert Barron and an afterword by James Martin, SJ. “The joy of the gospel fills the hearts and lives of all who encounter Jesus… In this Exhortation I wish to encourage the Christian faithful to embark upon a new chapter of evangelization marked by this joy, while pointing out new paths for the Church’s journey in years to come.” – Pope Francis This special edition of Pope Francis's popular message of hope explores themes that are important for believers in the 21st century. Examining the many obstacles to faith and what can be done to overcome those hurdles, he emphasizes the importance of service to God and all his creation. Advocating for “the homeless, the addicted, refugees, indigenous peoples, the elderly who are increasingly isolated and abandoned,” the Holy Father shows us how to respond to poverty and current economic challenges that affect us locally and globally. Ultimately, Pope Francis demonstrates how to develop a more personal relationship with Jesus Christ, “to recognize the traces of God’s Spirit in events great and small.” Profound in its insight, yet warm and accessible in its tone, The Joy of the Gospel is a call to action to live a life motivated by divine love and, in turn, to experience heaven on earth. Includes a foreword by Robert Barron, author of Catholicism: A Journey to the Heart of the Faith and James Martin, SJ, author of Jesus: A Pilgrimage

What Apostle Paul meant when he said in Romans 11:25 that hardening in part has come over Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. Apostle Paul calls this a mystery or secret. What's the mystery, then? Who is the Fullness of the Gentiles?Apostle Paul wrote several powerful epistles to his fellow Jews and Gentiles filled with prophetic references to what was written in the Tanakh, also known as the First Testament or Old Testament. Apostle Paul, a man who was a persecutor of the followers of Messiah, became a champion of faith by the grace of the Heavenly Father and splendidly expounded on the mystery of Messiah and Gospel, which was hidden for long ages past.What was the mystery of the Messiah hidden in the past generations but was revealed to the Gentiles of the New Testament?Who were the Gentiles in the New Testament?What was the mystery of the death of the Messiah?What is the Whole Good News?What was the Good News first preached to Abraham?The answer will astound you.This book also examines some of the common doctrinal issues that have fractionated the mainstream Jewish and Christian faith, like Torah and Grace, Replacement Theology and the New Covenant etc.Is Torah in the Old Testament still relevant to the New Testament believers?To whom the Torah was given initially?Should Christians be Torah observant?What was nailed to the stake?What was the dividing wall of hostility between Jews and Gentiles?Who is the Lost Sheep?What was new about the New Covenant and to whom the New Covenant is given?Is Replacement Theology biblical?Has the Christian church superseded Israel?What was the Parable of the Prodigal Son all about?Most believers in the Messiah agree that we are living in the last days. Therefore, it's time to ensure that we are walking right with our Creator's ways and our theology aligns with the scriptures breathed by the Almighty.It's time to open up our Bible and Test Every Teaching like Bereans- (Acts 17:11).

Believers know that when we die we enter heaven and will spend eternity there with God and the saints who have gone before us. But what actually happens in heaven? What are we going to be doing there? Won't it get boring at some point? According to Scripture, a large part of our experience of heaven will be a continual revealing of God's glory. Not just his glory in the moment, but during all of time. The mysteries of providence, the hidden movements of God throughout history, and the forgotten and unnoted works of even the most obscure of God's people will be unveiled so that we can see how wise, loving, gracious, and powerful our God is. And though we will experience perfection in heaven, we will never be omniscient, which means we will always be learning more about God's glory, inspiring us to return joyful praise and thanksgiving. If your vision of heaven has been limited to clouds and harps and angels, it's time to expand that view with the truth found in this biblically based look at the afterlife.
