"We don't really know much about Calvinism," my dinner companions confessed. "But it was a strange experience. On the one hand, we had the impression that these people felt certain they were the elect. Yet there also seemed to be some insecurity, as though performance were a major difference of one's salvation." As we got up to leave, a young woman who had sat through the entire discussion in silence asked if she could have a private moment of my time. We sat down again, and she began to tell a tale of grief . She was a pastor's wife. Their lives and ministry had been happy and fruitful until her husband and two close friends, also pastors, became interested in a new "truth" All three were aspiring "intellectuals." As a result of reading current Calvinist authors, they had been drawn to the writings of John Calvin, Jonathan Edwards, John Knox, and others. Their study, taking them all the way back to Augustine, eventually became almost an obsession. Then each of them began to preach this new "light" from their pulpits. After being warned several times to desist, they were removed from their pastorates. Eventually, her husband began to worry whether he was really one of the elect. The nagging questions grew into full-blown doubts about his salvation. Calvinism, which had once seemed so satisfying, now began to haunt him with uncertainty. Was he really one of the elect? *** The above excerpt sets the scene for Dave Hunt's 109-page paperback, created out of a need for a non-intimidating, easy-to-read "introduction" to Calvinism. Based on years of actual accounts and conversations, readers will become familiar with the key issues in a unique format that reads like a real-life drama, because the characters are composites of actual individuals, and the circumstances are equally real. Discover the heart of a Calvinist "seeker"—and the surprising result of his quest for truth in this fictionalized but true-to-life dialogue: A Calvinist's Honest Doubts—Resolved by Reason and God's Amazing Grace.

An Urgent Call to a Serious Faith: A Prophetic Alarm for the Bride of Christ

Why are we here—and where are we going? Does science have an answer to these two most fundamental questions of human existence? Can mankind determine and direct the future of life on earth purely by scientific means? Plagued by the failure of modern science to explain the most pressing questions of human existence, many of today’s postmodern thinkers are once again boldly going where man has gone before. Has the elusive holy grail of cosmology been hiding in plain sight for centuries? Erwin Schrödinger, the famed Austrian theoretical physicist who received the Nobel Prize in 1933 for his contributions to quantum mechanics, confided: “[Science] knows nothing of . . . good or bad, God and eternity. . . . Whence came I and whither go I? That is the great unfathomable question. . . . Science has no answer to it.” Echoing this dilemma, British astrophysicist Sir Arthur S. Eddington, famous for his work on the theory of relativity in the early 20th century, also reasoned: “Thus, in the physical world, what a body does and what a body ought to do are equivalent; but we are well aware of another domain where they are anything but equivalent…. There is a clear distinction between natural law, which must be obeyed, and moral law, which ought to be obeyed. Ought takes us outside of physics and chemistry.” In a sweeping panorama of inquiry and exploration, the timeless quest within these pages leads grail-seekers and skeptics alike to a destiny-altering consideration of the cosmos—and the question of human existence. Only one question remains: What will you do with the truth when it’s finally in your hands?

Agnosticism

THE BIBLE—AND ITS BELIEVERS—ARE INCREASINGLY UNDER HOSTILE ATTACK. Are you prepared to “earnestly contend for the faith”? “[Put on] the whole armor of God . . . and having done all, to stand.” — Ephesians 6:13 Learn to contend—without being contentious. This indispensable field guide assists readers with more than 40 years’ experience in seeking—and finding—biblical answers to life’s most challenging questions, including: • Why does God allow so much suffering and evil in the world? • What about all the “contradictions” in the Bible? • Are some people predestined by god to go to hell? • Why would a merciful God punish people who have never heard of Christ? • How can one tell the difference between God’s true light and Satan’s seductive counterfeits? Seasoned with grace and saturated in love for the truth, this volume will help believers “gird up” their minds, enabling them to “be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear” (1 Peter 3:15b).

In Defense of the Faith: Biblical Answers to Challenging Questions

An understanding of biblical prophecy is critical for every believer in Jesus Christ. The reasons are many, but here are the major ones: 1) The entire Bible is prophetic, including what God has revealed about Himself (His telling forth) for our under-standing, and what He says will take place in the future (His foretelling). 2) Prophecy fulfilled is the best apologetic for proving that God’s Word is truly His Word, His direct communication to mankind. 3) More than a third of the Bible contains verses fore-telling the future, many of which have been fulfilled, yet most are forthcoming. 4) Prophecy is given for the believers’ spiritual protection, that they may be aware of events of the darkening days ahead and know what God would have them to do.Christianity and Anti-Christianity in their Final Conflict is a stunning work of interpreting biblical prophecies in the light of the times of Samuel J. Andrews, which took place during the late 1800s. It reads as though it were written today, with the only difference being that the issues addressed have increased exponentially, and the apostasy they have fed is now worldwide. The back cover excerpts a very vigorous recommendation by James M. Gray, the third president of Moody Bible Institute: “Bear with me if I say, you must read this book. . . . The Christian leader who does not know these things is no leader, but the blind leading the blind.”

Christianity and Antichristianity in their Final Conflict

ANDREWS, SAMUEL J.

¿Está enterado de todo lo que sucederá en los últimos días? ¿Quién es esta mujer? La tradición dice que está relacionada con la iglesia de Roma. En la actualidad, prácticamente toda la atención está enfocada en el Anticristo venidero, pero él es sólo la mitad de la historia. Muchos se asombran al descubrir que en Apocalipsis 17 también hay otro personaje misterioso en el centro mismo de la profecía: una mujer que cabalga la bestia. ¿Quién es esta mujer? La tradición nos dice que está relacionada con la iglesia de Roma. Pero, ¿acaso dicho punto de vista no está pasado de moda? Después de todo, el Vaticano de hoy está ansioso de tomarse de las manos de los Protestantes de todo el mundo. Lo que se oye es que "la Iglesia Católica ha cambiado". Pero, ¿ha cambiado realmente? En Una mujer cabalga la bestia, Dave Hunt, experto en profecía, escudriña las verdades bíblicas y los sucesos mundiales para presentar un cuadro bien definido de la mujer y el poderoso lugar que ocupará en el futuro impero del Anticristo. Catorce indicios extraordinarios en Apocalipsis 17 y 18 demuestran que la identidad de la mujer está fuera de toda duda. Un provocativo relato de lo que la Biblia nos dice que ha de venir.

Una Mujer Cabalga La Bestia

Dave Hunt

At last, a book that presents in a concise manner the events leading up to the return of Christ. Dave Hunt, in his characteristic direct style, answers these pervasive questions: Who is the Antichrist? How will he be recognized? What current events indicate that we really are in the last of the "last days"? Using Scripture and up-to-date information, Dave draws the exciting conclusion that, indeed, time is short. He then outlines a biblical response and reminds the reader of the hope we have in Christ. This book instructs, encourages, warns, and strengthens readers to "walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil" (Ephesians 5:15,16).

Countdown to the Second Coming

In Search of the True Faith Readers of Dave's book, An Urgent Call to A Serious Faith, will recognize and appreciate that this handy volume includes revised versions of the first eight chapters of that powerful work, plus an entirely new chapter, which together serve to make this a powerful tool for evangelism and discipleship. It is astonishing how many millions of otherwise seemingly intelligent people are willing to risk their eternal destiny upon less evidence than they would require for buying a car or even a low-carb food item—yet the belief of so many, particularly in the area of religion, has no rational or factual foundation. With well-researched arguments and compelling proof, this book demonstrates that the issue of where one will spend eternity is not a matter of preference (like joining the Elks instead of the Lions). In fact, there is overwhelming evidence that we are eternal beings who will spend eternity somewhere. But where will it be? And how can we know? There is no more important question to be faced—and answered. Table of Contents: 1. The Necessity of Certainty 2. Of God and Human Destiny 3. Of Bodies and Spirits 4. In Search of the True Faith 5.

There’s nothing to fear.” Spine-tingling action follows this incredible breakthrough in mind research. Opening doors to the unlimited vistas of the mind, the Archons share their gift of psychic power, promising a new era of peace. But then governments get involved... Discovering the CIA and Russian Intelligence’s battle for psychic control, famed journalist Carla Bertelli delves into the power behind the Archons.

Torn between her love for Ken and her contempt for his “demons theory,” Carla plunges into a search for the truth that becomes a desperate race against time... Reader Reviews: “I couldn’t put this book down. Dave Hunt does a wonderful job with this fictional book, originally written as a screenplay. It presents some [fascinating factual ideas] within a fictional setting. The explanation Dave Hunt provides...for UFOs and Aliens is actually quite reasonable and believable.... Well done. It has remained my favorite book since I first picked it up. Good Job Dave Hunt!” —IW “First published in 1989 but perhaps more up to date than today’s newspaper. I seldom read fiction but I got into this. The best fiction book I have ever read.” —TG “A great book to learn about aliens and UFO invasions. The Mind Invaders gets down to the truth about physics and fortune tellers.... One of Dave Hunt’s best!” —EY “The Mind Invaders is a must read! I picked up this book by accident. However after I began reading it I simply could not put it down! Dave Hunt weaves a tale of intrigue, suspense and super-reality that may give answers to the complex question of UFOs, ascended masters, and the netherworld that surrounds us. This is simply quite a compelling work of fiction that is more reality and truth than one may want to admit. I highly recommend it to all.” —DF “An excellent novel, a must read, a hard book to put down! This is the best fiction novel that I have ever read.... A very realistic book—something that could happen, or may be happening now. Thanks, Dave Hunt for such a good book.” —AR (Originally titled: The Archon Conspiracy)
