Christian Fiction
This is the book that inspired the life-changing drama that has been presented in churches across America. In the tradition of Jerry Jenkins' and Tim La Haye's Left Behind series, The Bema describes what Left Behind left out: what happens to Christians who are caught up in the rapture. Based solidly on biblical and theological research, this fictional account imagines what it will be like to experience the rapture of the church, see what heaven is like, meet your guardian angel, and appear before the Judgment Seat of Christ to receive your eternal reward for the way you have lived your life. If you have read non fiction books about the Judgment Seat of Christ like Your Eternal Reward by Erwin Lutzer or This Was Your Life by Rick Howard and Jamie Lash, you will especially appreciate seeing this Bible doctrine dramatized in your mind when you read The Bema.
Devotional ExperienceMost people who have seen the drama or read the book are profoundly affected by its message and give more thought to spiritual growth and Christian service. When THE DAY finally comes and you stand in the presence of the resurrected Christ to see with His eyes a review of your life, nothing that you thought was important will matter then. Only what you did that was pleasing to Christ will determine how you will be rewarded in eternity. On THE DAY you will wish you had done more to serve Christ and less to gratify your own selfish desires. By identifying with the experience of the main character, Daniel Matthewson, you will see how much more you could have had in eternity if you had been more serious about living the Christian life.Message of Hope The good news is that it is not too late. You still have time to live for Christ, to earn heavenly rewards that will last for eternity. Identifying with the main character will help take your eyes off the cares, pleasures and distractions of the world and re-orient your life around service to Christ and being pleasing to Him. Also, it is a great read. The story is so riveting you will not want to put the book down until you have read to its startling end.

WHY ARE WE SO BUSY? Christian Counselor and Fitness Expert Team Up To Find Answers 
An addiction is sweeping our country; but little is being done to stop it. There is no government task force to study the problem, no commission headed by a "Czar" to combat it, and there are few expressions of concern from our pulpits. In fact, most businesses and major corporations encourage or even require their employees to indulge themselves freely in the addiction. Even most church leaders commend their members who have fallen into it and exhort others to follow their example. 
 This addiction is not to a drug or any substance. It is not to antisocial or what is considered immoral behavior. Yet, it can be just as destructive. It is a behavioral disorder that presents itself as compulsive, excessive busyness. 
 Dr. Rick Fowler, Director of Prestonwood Christian Counseling Center in Dallas and author of ten books, combines his expertise with Cassie Findley, Director of Continuing Education for Curves International fitness centers, to plot an escape route for those who are trapped in the cycle of busyness addiction. American culture is driving us to be excessively busy because it is based on postmodern thought patterns. The way out is to return to the Judeo-Christian values that made this country great. 
 When the Puritans settled in America they brought with them a work ethic based on a sense of personal calling from God. They believed that every individual has a God-given purpose in life, and a responsibility to use his gifts and abilities to serve God and his fellow man. Our culture has generally abandoned that idea in favor of a self-centered approach to life based on New Age spirituality. 
When one considers himself to be god, with limitless possibilities for fulfillment but no definite purpose, life becomes a frantic search for meaning and fulfillment. Although Christians do not accept most of the presuppositions of postmodern thought, nevertheless, they are unconsciously caught up in the behavioral patterns that the culture typically produces. 
Fowler and Findley explore practical, proven Biblical principles to offset the drivenness of our culture and restore health and balance to life. Dr. Fowler draws from over thirty years of counseling experience to deal with the emotional problems associated with busyness addiction. Restoring balance in life and relationships is the model used in Dr. Fowler’s counseling ministry. He is the author of Together on a Tightrope, co-author of The Serenity Bible, published by Thomas Nelson, and Steps to a New Beginning, winner of the Gold Medallion Award. For over 26 years Cassie Findley has done extensive research on stress management, physical and spiritual fitness. For fifteen years she served as Director of Health Education and Wellness and Assistant Dean for Students at Baylor University in Waco, Texas.

Too Busy to Live: The Addiction America Applauds

BOB HAGE, RETIRED BOEING/MCDONNEL DOUGLAS EXECUTIVE, REVEALS STRIKING DETAILS OF 50-YEAR CAREER IN THE AEROSPACE INDUSTRY 
 As a scientist, aircraft design engineer, aviation consultant and major in the U.S. Air Force, Bob Hage made a career taming the skies via aerospace technology. He co-authored the textbook, "Airplane Performance, Stability and Control," which is still in print and use after 50 years—without revision. While at Boeing, Hage authored "Jet Propulsion in Commercial Air Transportation," pioneering the idea that jet-powered transport planes would be superior to propeller-driven transports. His greatest achievement is dependence on the Word of God and prayer as a dynamic for living, which has given him personal performance, stability and control. 
 He tells the story of his romance with the heavens as well as the spiritual development of others within his circle of influence. A single sortie it’s not. The colorful individuals who became a part of his life story are like integral parts of an aircraft, thrusting this story to great heights. A partial list includes James S. McDonnell (founder and former president of McDonnell Aircraft Corp.), Sanford McDonnell (past president of McDonnell Corp.), Eddie Rickenbacker (World War I flying ace and former president, Eastern Airlines), Bill Allen (former president, Boeing Corp.), and Juan Trippe (founder, Pan American Airlines), Donald Douglas (founder, Douglas Aircraft Co.) Fritz Phillips (Phillips Corp.), Francis Schaeffer (founder of L’Abri), and Lorne Sanny (President Emeritus, The Navigators. 
You will enjoy reading about his military service at the Pentagon, the fierce competition between leading aircraft companies, and his global travels. Also, in a time of corporate scandals, it is refreshing to read about the high ethical standards that made his career and the corporations he worked for successful. Most important, you will be fascinated by the way God worked through a simple cleaning lady as well as a private conference with Francis Schaeffer in the Swiss Alps to bring Bob to faith in Christ. 
When I Consider the Heavens will interest the engineer, the businessperson, the historian, and those who love a good autobiography. Particularly inspiring is the way Bob Hage freely opens his heart for all to see that Jesus Christ is the navigator of his life and career. 
 The book includes 16 photographs from the Boeing Corp. archives, most in color, tracing aviation’s history.
