In The Lost Meaning of the Seventh Day, Sigve K. Tonstad recovers the profound and foundational understanding of God that can be experienced in the seventh day. He shows that Scripture has consistently asserted that the Sabbath of Creation is the Sabbath of the whole story of how God makes right what has gone wrong in the world. Tonstad argues that the seventh day is the symbol of God¿s faithfulness precisely when God¿s presence seems to be in doubt. He demonstrates how God, through the seventh day, seeks the benefit of all creation. Inevitably, this leads to an investigation of how this universal symbol became obscured. This sweeping work of biblical theology and historical analysis traces the seventh day as it is woven throughout Scripture and the history of Christianity. Its twenty-seven chapters consider, among other things, the relationship of the seventh day to freedom, to social conscience, to the ¿greatest commandment,¿ and to the enigmatic ¿rest that remains.¿ Tonstad engages the move away from the seventh day in early Christian history, the mindset in medieval Christianity, and the sobering long-term implications leading all the way to the Holocaust and the ecological crises in our time. The Lost Meaning of the Seventh Day will engage, illuminate, provoke, and ultimately inspire readers who enjoy a serious work presented in a style that is ¿luminous¿ and a ¿delight to read.¿

The Seventh-Day Adventist cult was actually established by accident or you might say a bad judgment made by a man named William Miller. He made the mistake of proclaiming that Jesus would return on a certain date that didn't happen. He tried to fix it by setting another date, which also didn't happen. He eventually decided that what he was doing was wrong and repented and said he would never do it again. Unfortunately, it didn't stop there, and the organization continued on. After splitting several times, a lady named Ellen G. White came on to the scene. While a child she was hit in the head with a rock causing her to be unconscious for a period of time. Because of what could be called brain damage she started seeing visions that she said were from God. The Seventh Day Adventists now had a prophet giving the people new revelations that they had to follow in order to get to Heaven. But even now, when they follow all the rules that she put forth, they never know if they have actually accomplished everything to get to Heaven. As you read, Seventh Day Adventism & the False Prophecies of Ellen G. White, you will understand how these people are being led away from Heaven. Some of the topics are: Why is it wrong to set dates for the return of Jesus? Why do they have to pass "Investigative Judgement" in order to get to Heaven? Where did the Clear Word Bible come from? What is "Soul sleeping"? How does Kellogg cereal fit in Seventh Day Adventism? Do Seventh Day Adventist believe in a Heaven and a Hell? Who are the Seventh Day Adventist celebrities? You will find that after studying Seventh Day Adventist & the False Prophecies of Ellen G. White, these people are in great need of hearing the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to be told that they need to run not walk and get out of this cult as fast as they can. This study will give you the necessary tools needed to witness to a member of Seventh Day Adventism and open their eyes to the false teachings that they have been under. This is definitely a book you need to complete your library.

Many Christians think of end times prophecy as a gigantic, intimidating puzzle -- difficult to piece together and impossible to figure out. But every puzzle can be solved if you approach it the right way. Paul Benware compares prophecy to a picture puzzle. Putting the edge pieces together first builds the 'framework' that makes it easier to fit the other pieces in their place. According to Benware, the framework for eschatology is the biblical covenants. He begins his comprehensive survey by explaining the major covenants. Then he discusses several different interpretations of end times prophecy. Benware digs into the details of the Rapture, the Great Tribulation, the judgements and resurrections, and the millennial kingdom. But he also adds a unique, personal element to the study, answering questions as: -Why study bible prophecy? -What difference does it make if I'm premillenial or amillenial? If what the Bible says about the future puzzles you, Understanding End Times Prophecy will help you put together the pieces and see the big picture.
