Life on the Brick Pile
Answers to Suffering - from the Letters of Revelation
 

Why do bad things happen to good people? Why do the innocent have to suffer? How can a loving God allow such pain? These are some of the hardest questions of the Christian faith. The presence of evil and suffering is for many an almost insurmountable brick pile.

There have been numerous commentaries written about the Book of Revelation. But few address the suffering of the original readers or of people in our world today. Life on the Brick Pile examines the seven letters of Revelation 1-3, which offer hope when life doesn't make sense, when tomorrow looks bleak, when faith and loyalty become difficult.

The problem of evil and suffering is perennial. Believers of the seven churches of Revelation faced annihilation by a hostile Roman Empire, and were ridiculed and slandered within their own communities. The words of hope which empowered and energized them will help us as well.

The letters reveal the presence of one whose power is greater than any problems we face. They offer hope to Christians in a time of struggle. God meets us at our point of need.


The Myth And The Manger

With recent surveys showing a move on the part of retailers and others to take Christmas out of the holidays, this book comes at a crucial time in our lives. It will take you back to Bethlehem that First Christmas, as those closest to the birth of Jesus reflect on its life-changing significance. The true meaning of Christmas transcends the years, but customs and traditions have made it difficult to know what's fact and what's legend. Were there only three wise men? And were they really led by a star? Why does an event which happened over 2000 years ago still matter to us today? How can we keep Christ in Christmas, and Christmas in the holidays? How can we make the celebration of Christmas more meaningful?

The small size of the book, the narrative accounts of the birth of our Savior, and the historical background, make The Myth and the Manger very readable. Make this the perfect gift for anyone on your Christmas list…young or old.
