Dr Francis S. Collins, head of the Human Genome Project, is one of the world's leading scientists, working at the cutting edge of the study of DNA, the code of life. Yet he is also a man of unshakable faith in God. How does he reconcile the seemingly unreconcilable? In THE LANGUAGE OF GOD he explains his own journey from atheism to faith, and then takes the reader on a stunning tour of modern science to show that physics, chemistry and biology -- indeed, reason itself -- are not incompatible with belief. His book is essential reading for anyone who wonders about the deepest questions of all: why are we here? How did we get here? And what does life mean?

The Church of God Reformation Movement began in the early 1880s under the leadership of D. S. Warner and those who joined with him in search of a unified church. Their goal was simply to be God's holy people free from all denominational division. After more than 135 years of existence, this movement has grown so that it has congregations located around the world. Those affiliated with the Church of God have included well-known individuals such as Charles Schulz, the creator of Charlie Brown, and singers and songwriters Bill and Gloria Gaither. So what is the Church of God? What are its beliefs and have those beliefs changed since its inception? In this book, Mark Jackson examines ten key beliefs of the Church of God and evaluates them in light of Scripture. These beliefs are the authority of Scripture, salvation and church membership, the assurance of salvation, church ordinances, victory over sin, the work of the Holy Spirit, conditional security, divine healing, Christian unity, and the kingdom of God. Whether affiliated with the Church of God or not, this book offers to readers a clear and biblical presentation of beliefs that should be important to all Christians. "I only wish this book could have been available when I began pastoring. It would have helped me in pastoral preaching and in teaching new converts what the Bible teaches." -Arlo F. Newell, Editor-in-chief of Warner Press (1977-93) "The clarity and conciseness of this work will be an effective tool for pastors, teachers, and students of the word of God. In a day of numerous messages from media, this book presents for the person who is searching for answers to life's most important questions, a clear direction found in Jesus Christ." -Ronald V. Duncan, General Director of Church of God Ministries (2002-13)

Today as we look around us we see a world that seems to be making huge steps of progress in every arena, thanks to the age of technology. Everything is better and faster. However, when we take a closer look at the facts, that can easily be found on the web, we find that the moral fabric of society is declining at an alarming rate. The cities of our nation are rapidly becoming as evil and profane as Sodom and Gomorrah. What should be of greater concern is that the Christian Church (all those that profess to be followers of JESUS CHRIST) is seen by nonbelievers as being no different than the world around them. More than three-quarters of the population of the United States claims JESUS as their LORD yet this nation is morally bankrupt. What has happened to the Christian Church? The purpose of this book is to help us take a closer look at what ALMIGHTY GOD has said about what the problem really is. There is not much of any real importance that can or should be said about myself, although I would like everyone to know that before I met JESUS I was the perfect picture of the chief sinner that the apostle Paul claimed to be. As I look upon my past, I know Paul would not have had a chance for the title if his life before CHRIST was compared with my own. Glory be to GOD who empowers and inspires a wretched man's soul to do good. For anyone to know more about me would bring them little gain; however to know the one who can empower and inspire anyone who truly wants to change, to become reconciled to our HEAVENLY FATHER is of the highest gain.

Christian doctrine has long been due for a closer look. This book goes into Scripture to prove that many accepted doctrines within Church walls do not fit what Scripture declares. One example of this would be what is known as the "Born Again" doctrine. This doctrine has been used to accept anyone who comes forward during an alter call into the family of God. However, is this what Scripture teaches as the true doctrine of Christ? No.Scripture states that only one man had to be born again. That man was Christ. Unfortunately, when people read Scripture, they fail to see that the singular is used when Christ explains His true doctrine to Nicodemus. He plainly states that "A Man" (speaking of Himself) must be born again in order for Nicodemus to see (not enter into) the Kingdom of Heaven. Thus any who would be born again were born again the same instant Christ was born again when He rose from the dead. They cannot be born again during their physical lifetime here on earth. They were already born again through Christ when He resurrected. Therefore, they were chosen before they were even born. This proves that God does the choosing and men cannot choose to be saved. God chose and caused to be born again those whom He wanted as His children before they were even born as Christ resurrected.This and many other subjects are tackled in this book. Many seemingly harmless doctrines have invaded the Church. Yet when viewed from a Scriptural point of view, we see that indeed it makes a tremendous difference what a person believes is the sound doctrine taught by Christ. Yeshua was very specific as to whom He was speaking. When He used the singular, He was speaking of one person. It is only when He used the plural that He was speaking to men in general. Therefore, much of what is used to guide Christian today, was not meant for them at all, and was rather speaking of Christ or someone in Scripture particularly. Careful examination disproves many accepted doctrines within the Church today. Let's take a closer look at the doctrines Christ taught together and maybe, just maybe, the light will begin to shine upon you in truth.,

"The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is one of the most unique and eclectic religions to seek a place in the family of Christianity. In its doctrine and liturgical practices, Mormonism sets itself apart from most of its brothers and sisters in Christ. Consequently, while Latter-day Saints insist that they are Christians, many within the main reject that claim. In this unique and groundbreaking book, Petersen places some of the most distinctive Latter-day Saint doctrines under a microscope. He critically compare[s] the beliefs and teaching of Mormonism witth that of the ancient Christian Church. Through a detailed look at the Bible, the writing of the Church Fathers, and the theological statements of Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox and Protestant scholars, the author seeks to answer with finality the age old question, do the Mormons have a leg to stand on in claiming that they are Christians?"-- Page [4] of cover.

It is not uncommon to hear Christians argue that America was founded as a Christian nation. But how true is this claim? In this compact book, David L. Holmes offers a clear, concise and illuminating look at the spiritual beliefs of our founding fathers. He begins with an informative account of the religious culture of the late colonial era, surveying the religious groups in each colony. In particular, he sheds light on the various forms of Deism that flourished in America, highlighting the profound influence this intellectual movement had on the founding generation. Holmes then examines the individual beliefs of a variety of men and women who loom large in our national history. He finds that some, like Martha Washington, Samuel Adams, John Jay, Patrick Henry, and Thomas Jefferson's daughters, held orthodox Christian views. But many of the most influential figures, including Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, John and Abigail Adams, Jefferson, James and Dolley Madison, and James Monroe, were believers of a different stripe. Respectful of Christianity, they admired the ethics of Jesus, and believed that religion could play a beneficial role in society. But they tended to deny the divinity of Christ, and a few seem to have been agnostic about the very existence of God. Although the founding fathers were religious men, Holmes shows that it was a faith quite unlike the Christianity of today's evangelicals. Holmes concludes by examining the role of religion in the lives of the presidents since World War II and by reflecting on the evangelical resurgence that helped fuel the reelection of George W. Bush. An intriguing look at a neglected aspect of our history, the book will appeal to American history buffs as well as to anyone concerned about the role of religion in American culture.

'The Irreducible Minimum' is a careful examination of the eleven essential doctrines, including the doctrine of the Bible, Dispensationalism, Theology Proper and Trinitarianism, Christology, Holy Spirit, Angels, Sin, Salvation, the Church, and the doctrine of last things, from a pre-tribulational, pre-millennial viewpoint.
