With the year 2000 fast approaching, both the secular and Christian worlds wonder whether the end could truly be in sight. Now pastor and author Dr. Ed Dobson presents a compelling look at the return of Christ and how ancient prophecies are being fulfilled before our eyes. The End looks at world events in light of the Bible's prophecies. It describes what the Tribulation will be like, the characteristics of the Antichrist...and what all this means for you and those close to you. Surveying fifty remarkable events that point to the imminent return of Christ, this book paints a clear picture of the last days...and helps you decide whether we could be living in them now.

Authors Cal Thomas and Ed Dobson once believed the best way to fight the 'liberal agenda' was to beat them at their own game. Mobilize voters. Organize boycotts. Get invited to the White House. And raise a ton of money to keep the war chest full. Not anymore. Blinded by Might takes you inside the early and heady days of the Moral Majority, tracing its well-intentioned but fatally flawed battle plan aimed at reversing America's slide into a moral wasteland. It shows how groups like the Christian Coalition, which stepped in when the Moral Majority ran out of steam, have not changed, cannot change, and will not change the trajectory of America's culture. Written by two conservative Christians who worked closely with Jerry Falwell in the 1980s, Blinded by Might explains what you can do for your country that twenty years of heavily financed political activism has failed to do. When Ronald Reagan won the 1980 presidential election by a landslide, conservative Christians discovered what could happen when they flexed their electoral muscles. Suddenly, faith and politics seemed a promising match and before the eyes of the astonished media, a new movement called the Moral Majority and its leader, Jerry Falwell, rocketed from obscurity to national prominence. The Religious right was born. Today with luminaries including Pat Robertson, James Dobson, James Kennedy, and Ralph Reed, the right remains a powerful political force. Yet, despite nearly twenty years of vigorous and sophisticated activism, it has failed in its mission to end abortion, eliminate pornography, restore the shattered American family, and usher in a better world built on 'traditional values.' Why? Few know the answers better than Cal Thomas and Ed Dobson. Former insiders with the Moral Majority, they share never-reported information on a movement they helped shape in order to show why it could not and did not succeed. And they tell what it will really take to stem the ungodliness that is sweeping our nation. 'Whenever the church cozies up to political power, it loses sight of its all important mission to change the world from the inside out,' writes Thomas. In blurring the lines between politics and Christianity, the Religious Right has traded the only power that can truly change America - the Gospel's power to transform hearts - for the methods of a kingdom that is of this world. What, then, is the alternative? Given such critical issues as abortion, gay activism, are Christians to simply disengage from the political process? Hardly. uninvolvement is not the answer, say the authors, but a shift in perspective. As Christians, they insist we must realize that God's agenda does not rise or fall with political causes; and that we must rediscover our most potent influence is not the ballot booth, but lives that extend God's grace in the home, in the workplace, and in all spheres of our culture. Blinded by Might calls us to realign ourselves with a kingdom infinitely more powerful and certain than politics, that advances initially through changed hearts that inevitably must change and impart government.

Knowing Jesus Study Bible, The

No other person has impacted the world like Jesus. In the days he walked the earth, humanity caught a glimpse of God's character. His truth. His power. His white-hot zeal, deep compassion, disarming humility and above all, his boundless love. Today, Jesus continues to change lives. Because he offers more than a philosophy -- he offers new Life. And you can know him in the intimate way that only the Bible can reveal him, portrayed both with rich symbolism and startling exactness in the Old Testament, and unfolded in lowly humanity and eternal, kingly glory in the New Testament. The Knowing Jesus Study Bible gives you a unique, one-year study approach that reveals Jesus as the theme of the entire Bible. Designed to help you know Jesus better and become more like him, this Bible features: - One-year study format -- 365 full-page daily studies offer fascinating insights into the person and work of Jesus. - My Top Ten Surprises About Jesus by Phillip Yancey -- introduces you to the subject of Jesus with uncanny insight and personal approach that have made Yancey one of today's most acclaimed Christian writers. - Hundreds of in-text notes -- help you gain a sense of Jesus' presence throughout the entire Bible, with an emphasis on practical expressions of faith. - Color inserts -- combine beautiful, full-color photography with key Scripture verses that reveal the character and heart of our Lord. - Quotes -- the sayings and writings of well-known Christians of the past and present, interspersed liberally throughout the text, provide devotional insights about Jesus. - The NIV -- today's leading Bible translation: easy to read, accurate, and supported by more study resources than any other translation. - NIV Concordance -- helps you locate key Scripture. - Numerous charts and maps -- highlights significant Bible passages and gives you a feel for the land, culture, and history that provided a context for Jesus' ministry.

DOUBLEDAY

An exploration of identity and faith, Seeing Through the Fog invites readers to a vibrant life, an expectant life, a life of joy in each new morning. Pastor Ed Dobson has spent his life preaching sermons, but this book is not a sermon. He has spent more than ten years with a debilitating illness, but this book is not about grief. He has found joy in the midst of sorrow, but this book is not about looking on the bright side. Seeing Through the Fog is about living well when you realize you can’t live forever. It is about having gratitude for each sunrise, birthday, and moment of knowing God more. It is about holding hope when circumstances hold pain. With stories, wisdom and unique content distinct from the popular film series about Ed, Seeing Through the Fog will encourage readers in their own difficulties and give them hope for their future.

Seeing through the Fog: Hope When Your World Falls Apart

David C. Cook

The thrid and final DVD in the ED'S STORY series contains the following films: My Garden and Ask Forgiveness
My Garden: When we meet someone, one of the first questions we ask is, "So, what do you do?" It's easy to become wrapped up in a career or job. But who are we outside of our work? What happens when that job is no longer there? Are we still ourselves? A pastor for many years, Ed struggled to adjust to a life without the pulpit. But he eventually discovered there is much more to who we are than what we do. Ask Forgiveness: When Ed was told his life would be over in a few short years, he found his priorities drastically rearranged. Things that used to be important became mildly relevant, while things that didn't seem to matter were now all that did. Ed realized this probably meant he could have done certain things better. As he asked those around him for forgiveness, perhaps he also helped them to see what is truly important in his life.
