History

Asia

Three Rivers Press

For two years before and after the 1948 Communist Revolution, David Kidd lived in  Peking, where he married the daughter of an aristocratic Chinese family. "I used  to hope," he writes, "that some bright young scholar on a research grant would write  about us and our Chinese friends before it was too late and we were all dead and  gone, folding into the darkness the wonder that had been our lives." Here Kidd himself  brings that wonder to life.

If God wanted us to study the book of Revelation, why is it so hard to understand? Maybe it is easier than it first appears. In these pages, you will begin a journey that takes you beyond a mere understanding of Revelation to encountering the very fabric with which God wove creation. In Revelation, all of the biblical prophecies, penned by numerous authors over hundreds of years, converge to reveal not only a clear picture of the end times, but the true author and his character. Through the beauty of this convergence, the author of the universe reveals his omnipotence, love, justice, and design for the ages.     AMONG THE QUESTIONS THIS BOOK WILL ANSWER:     How will we know when the end is coming upon us?    Is the United States mentioned in prophecy?    What is the order of events that will unfold?     Will Christians be on earth during the reign of the Antichrist?    What will happen if I'm alive during this time?    "A Chronological Revelation" makes no assumptions. It simply allows biblical prophecy to reveal the final events of our time, including the true nature and role of the countries that exist at the return of Christ. If you are counted among those privileged to experience this incredible period of history, it won't be easy. But in these pages, you will see God's plan in and through that time, empowering you to live for him no matter what challenges lie ahead.

"Skeptics vs. Scripture - Book 1" is a guided tour through a maze of questions that challenge Christian beliefs. In each chapter, a skeptic is permitted to make his case against God, Christianity, and the Bible in his own words, giving readers an inside view of an atheist's perspective. Author David Kidd applies sound biblical interpretation, rational arguments, and compelling real-life examples to expose skeptic errors and demonstrate the accuracy and reliability of the Bible. This book turns the tables on unbelief by using logic and reason to explain foundational Christian truths in everyday language.

The Fall and Rise of Christian Standards

Arum Press

In 1949, soon after the arrival of communism, David Kidd's Chinese fiancee, the daughter of an ancient Mandarin family, telephoned to say that her father was dying and that they must marry immediately. At first the couple was able to continue their privileged lifestyle, a remnant of an old and exquisite culture. But the new proletariat was rapidly suppressing the ancient traditions. Spies watched them from the roof, then confiscated their sets of mahjong; an aunt was sent on a mission to re-educate prostitutes; and the family's final magnificent party was invaded by the police. Eventually their entire way of life, and the thousand-year-old culture on which it was based, was destroyed by the totalitarian regime.
