Way back when pioneers crossed the mighty Mississippi River, the first settlers made their way deep into the Ozark Mountains. Much of this world has vanished. The rutted wagon trails have been smoothed into blacktop roads. Families are spread across the continent rather than across creek.

The Truth in Crisis

"The Conservative Resurgence in the Southern Baptist Convention" is sometimes referred to as Volume Six of James C. Hefley's classic, "The Truth in Crisis". It has also been called the "The Missing Volume." Fewer copies of this volume were printed than any of the other five volumes which have remained in print over the years. Many consider this volume a collector's item. Hefley described volume six as "the wrap-up book of "The Truth in Crisis" series. It covers 70 years of eventful Southern Baptist history, culminating in the most revolutionary change of a denomination in American church history. Here is recent Baptist history available nowhere else, including the dramatic "Showdown at the Sunday School board," the account of the crucial 1991 breakthrough at Southern Seminary, "Baylor University, Saved or Stolen?" and much, much more. The volume is a "must" read for Southern Baptist pastors, agency employees, seminarians, professors and laity who want the full story of what happened to Southern Baptists in the closing years of the 20th century. The book is helpful to anyone who wishes to understand how a major church body was turned in a more conservative direction by a grassroots movement that got out the vote to defeat one of the most powerful religious establishments in America. "Each chater is well documents and no 'loose ends' are left dangling," writes Dr. Lewis Drummond in the book's foreword. "The book . . . speaks of very able scholarship."

The Truth in Crisis: The Conservative Resurgence in the Southern Baptist Convention, Vol. 6

For all who long for peace in the land where Judaism, Christianity, and Islam were born. This is how the authors, James and Marti Hefley, describe their book: "Arabs, Christians, &amp; Jews. Whose side is God on? Who are the bad guys and the good guys? Is Saddam Hussein the modern Nebuchadnezzar who will rebuild ancient Babylon? Is he, as some Christians suppose, the Antichrist who will lead the world into battle of Armageddon? "For many years, we have been concerned about Western understanding of the Middle East and those who live in that region. We have talked to Jews, Muslims, and fellow Christians, who live in the lands where these faiths were founded and where war now rages. This book is the result of those conversations and other research during our 25 years of covering world Christianity. "We're well aware that many of our church friends have events in the Bible lands -- past, present, and future -- nailed down by their interpretations of biblical prophecy. We respect their views. We only ask that they try to understand ALL sides, especially BOTH the Israeli and Palestinian sides in the conflict." When the book was first written in 1978 it was among only a few books in the Christian marketplace that called for fair and equal treatment of Palestinians alongside the Israelis. By the time Arabs, Christians, and Jews was revised in 1991, other Christians had become convicted of the needs of the Palestinian people. The book was re-released in 2005 by Hannibal Books commemorating the deaths of James and Marti, who died only weeks apart in 2004 from unreleated illnesses. During their lifetime the Hefleys wrote more than 50 books individually and together. Though written in 1991, this commetary on the struggles in the Middle East asks timeless questions about the continuing turmoil that not only affected the 1990s but also continutes to grieve the hearts of believers in the new millenium. A must-read for those desiring peace in the land that is the crossroads of world relgion.
