Our daily choices are governed by our personal philosophy. For all action some hypothesis about the origin and nature of the universe and humanity must be adopted, whether consciously or unconsciously. We act according to prior decisions as to what has value and whether there is meaning to life. The question regarding what is good and what should be is answered by our personal decision regarding the beginning of all things. Are we just dirt plus time plus chance, or are we the children of a loving heavenly Father? This book sets forth the odds that the God spoken of in the Christian Bible are overwhelming, and that therefore the Christian faith is the best basis for every life.

Daniel 9:24?27 is a crux interpretum with as many problems as there are cells in a honeycomb. Charles Spurgeon was fond of saying about difficult Bible passages, "The harder the shell, the sweeter the kernel," and that is true of this passage. Dr. Desmond Ford has studied Daniel for 60 years and has written thousands of pages about this Scripture book. Nonscholars, as well as the erudite lay-researcher, will benefit from this book, and will find many solutions to perplexing questions. Dr. Ford considers interpretations advocated by dispensationalists and groups such as Jehovah's Witnesses, as well as the traditional view of the last two millenniums. The book's main emphases are upon "Messiah the Prince" and his "atonement for iniquity" as applicable to both inaugurated (the Cross) and consummated (the Second Coming) eschatology.

Christian Books & Bibles

For almost 2,000 years millions of readers of the Gospels have found them to be self-authenticating-the "inner witness" of their divine inspiration is given to all who read with a surrendered will. Dr. Desmond Ford, who has studied the New Testament records for nearly 70 years, believes that thoughtful readers of this devotional study will have that experience.This book is Christ-centered, Cross-centered, and gospel-centered. Those who give it close attention will conclude that compared to the knowledge of the glad tidings from Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, all other knowledge is chaff. Gems from scores of Christian scholars are encapsulated in these pages. To gather them can make anyone richer than Solomon.

Jesus Only: What Christ¿s Living and Dying Mean for You

Nearly thirty years ago the Seventh-day Adventist church defrocked Dr. Desmond Ford for publicly challenging the denomination's prophetic views. At the same time and on the same basis, many other ministers also lost their positions. Ford had been a top Adventist scholar, who had taught ministerial students and future teachers in Adventism's tertiary institutions in Australia and the U.S. What led him to speak out, and is the debate still current today? What were the issues, and who were the parties involved? Why was it important then? Why does it matter now?This book answers all these questions and shows that the key to prophetic interpretation is Christ and his gospel-not humanly devised calculations hidden in musty history books. Christ clearly teaches it is not for us to know the times and seasons, yet official Adventism continues to teach prophetic timelines that are based on faulty premises. The Adventist teaching of the Investigative Judgment, which supposedly began in 1844, mutes the New Testament gospel, and most Adventist scholars know this. It is time for official Adventism to renounce their errors and become fully Christian in their doctrinal teachings.

If you grew up believing that God created the world, that he is the author of all life, you have   probably had those beliefs challenged, perhaps even ridiculed. God gets a lot of bad press these   days. And when it comes to the beginning of the world, many people believe that the Genesis   story of creation is just a myth.  Science long ago proved creation wrong, they tell you. And they point to the evidence: Darwin’s   Theory of Evolution, fossils, and facts about the age of the earth. But take another look, and   consider the evidence more closely. Science actually hasn’t come up with the evidence to   discount the Genesis story of creation, much as some people would like to think it has. Many   contemporary scientists agree with the most published scientist of the last century, Stephen   Jay Gould who, despite his atheism, wrote: “Darwinism is effectually dead.” Find out the facts,   what’s real and what’s fabricated, and read what the experts have to say.  And why does this matter, anyway? Because it’s about more than the beginnings of life. It’s about   what life means, about your value, and whether you should care about right and wrong, kindness   or cruelty, peace or war. This is about whether life is worth living.  Genesis, the Bible’s ‘book of beginnings’ says: “In the beginning God ...”. It’s probably the most   important sentence ever written.

Physicians of the soul: God's prophets through the ages

The most important New Testament prophecy is also the most neglected and the least understood, despite our Lord's command to "know and understand it." See Matthew 24:15. "The abomination standing in the holy place" launches the tribulation such as never was, bringing a worldwide Calvary that threatens to annihilate the Christian church. This scenario is also discussed by Paul the Apostle in 2 Thessalonians 2 under the title of the "man of sin," the Antichrist who sits in the temple of God at present restrained by the mysterious "hinderer." This book is written for the layperson longing to know what the Bible actually teaches about the future and what will happen at the end of time. In it Dr. Ford describes Antichrist's nature and work and clarifies the gospel of Justification by Faith that Antichrist seeks to destroy.

The Coming Worldwide Calvary: Christ Versus AntiChrist

From the prophecies of Daniel flower all New Testament teachings about the future. Christ's final words about coming events (Matt. 24-25; Luke 21 and Mark 13) build on Daniel's predictions about "the abomination of desolation," "a time of distress such as has not happened from the beginning of nations," the "Son of man coming with the clouds of heaven," "the end coming like a flood," and the destruction of the temple and the end of the world. Our Lord's warning about nations in distress and perplexity (Luke 21:25) has its seed in the first great Apocalypse written by the captive seer in Babylon. No other book of the Old Testament had such tremendous influence on the New Testament and the early Christian church. Scholars acknowledge that "apocalyptic was the mother of Christian theology." Ours is an age desperately seeking a theodicy, a vindication of God's goodness and justice in the face of evil and the wisdom and benevolence of his ways. This Daniel provides. His prophecies understood prove that the world is a ship and not an iceberg, and that human beings are not just the product of time plus chance plus mud. Here is an answer to existentialism, atheism, and post-modernism. Dr. Ford's book provides an interpretative summary of Daniel that will prove a key of untold value for all earnest Bible students.
