| Cuenta regresiva a Jerusalén, de John Hagee, autor de éxitos de ventas, explora las estrategias que tiene Israel para responder a cualquier amenaza por parte de Irán y el efecto de ello en EE.UU. ¿Acaso habrá alguien que crea de verdad que los fanáticos islámicos actualmente encargados del gobierno iranà no harán uso de las armas nucleares contra Israel, EE.UU. y el mundo? Hagee hábilmente revela las razones por las cuales el islam radical e Israel no pueden vivir de forma pacÃfica, al pintarnos un cuadro convincente de por qué los cristianos deben apoyar el Estado de Israel. Basado en la Biblia, el autor considera que puede ocurrir un posible enfrentamiento nuclear entre Irán e Israel y cómo eso afectarÃa a EE.UU., el por qué el islam ejerce la violencia, el surgimiento del antisemitismo, el destino divino de Israel y más. Jerusalem Countdown, by best-selling author John Hagee, explores Israel's strategies toward any Iranian threat and the resulting effect upon America. Can anyone actually believe that the Islamic fanatics presently in charge of the Iranian government would not use nuclear weapons on Israel, America and the world? Hagee skillfully unveils the reasons radical Islam and Israel cannot dwell peaceably together. He paints a convincing picture explaining why Christians must support the State of Israel. Here he offers Bible-based consideration of a possible nuclear confrontation between Iran and Israel; how it would affect America; why Islam commands violence; the rise of anti-Semitism; Israel's divine destiny; and more. |

| In an increasingly pluralistic society (and world), it is imperative that Christians understand the philosophies and worldviews that others hold to. And that is especially true when it comes to other religions and cults. From an evangelistic standpoint, we will never be able to reach people if we don't understand them. This is what motivated Kenneth Boa to write Cults, World Religions and the Occult.Cults and world religions, particularly eastern religions, are growing rapidly, partially because of what they claim to offer, but also, more importantly, because of the failure of the church to meet the real needs that people have. Because of this rapid growth, more and more Christians are likely to have increasing contact with people from a cult. So what will you say if you have to interact with a cult member? If you know what that cult believes and the life they are trying to live, you will be able to reach out to them where they are.This book is divided into four sections: section one looks at eastern religions that are spreading into the west; section two looks at the pseudo-Christian groups which started in the United States and claim a (tenuous)connection to Christianity; section three focuses on occult systems and religions; the fourth section examines new religions and cults. For each religion or cult, background information is given, followed by a biblical evaluation. Boa also offers practical advice and principles for evangelism to cult members and adherents of other religions. The principles are based on 1 Peter 3:15, which tells us to "sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account of the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence." Cults, World Religions and the Occult is a great reference tool, and it offers an extensive bibliography for further research. Use it for conversations with a particular group, or as a general base of information for all groups. Either way, through understanding, reverence, and gentleness, learn how to reach human hearts with the love of God, the only power that can satisfy the longing in their souls, even that longing which drove them to a cult in the first place. |

| This volume on cultural anthropology by Stephen Grunlan and Marvin Mayers presents precisely what its subtitle indicates, namely, "a Christian perspective." Stephen Grunlan, who formerly taught at Moody Bible Institute and at St. Paul Bible College, is now senior pastor at the Appleton Alliance Church, Appleton, Wisconsin. He first studied anthropology under Dr. Marvin Mayers at Wheaton College and later was engaged in work among Chicanos in California and the Chicago area. Dr. Mayers engaged sponsorship of the Wycliffe Bible Translators before teaching for nine years at Wheaton College, during which time he also had some field experience in the Philippines. He was director of the program for the Summer Institute of Linguistics in Dallas, Texas, and professor of linguistics at the University of Texas at Arlington for many years. He is currently dean at the School of Intercultural Studies at Biola University. Cultural Anthropology: A Christian Perspective is addressed primarily to Bible school students of conservative evangelical backgrounds, with the hope that a sympathetic approach to the problems of cultural diversity thoughout the world will help young people overcome typical North American cultural biases and make them more able to understand and appreciate the diversitites of behavior and thought that exist in a culturally heterogeneous world. Grunlan and Mayers take the position of "functional creationism"; and though they discuss some of the problems implied in traditional interpretations of the age of the world and especially of the creation of the human race, they do not attempt to deal with either physical anthropology or the origins of man. They do, however, attempt to deal meaningfully with the problems posed by biblical absolutism and cultural relativism, and their practice of concluding chapters with a series of thought-provoking questions should prove to be of real help to the nonprofessional teacher of anthropology, who has been specifically in mind as they prepared this text. |

| Parsley exposes the failure of the current generation of believers to engage the culture, present a relevant gospel, and lead/influence through service - and paints a vivid picture of the cost and implications of that failure. Parsley explains how the culture wars have entered a new, critical phase for the U.S., and discusses the areas in which this war is being fought (Cultural, Scientific, Geopolitical, Media and Academia). He presents an understanding of the paradigms, assumptions, and values that animate the humanist, secularist and neo-pagan enemies of Christianity in America and offers a strategy for winning this "war" - what he calls a New Great Awakening - and how evangelism, social action the engagement of culture fit into that plan. |

| Why don't the Muslim people throw out their dictators and demand human rights? Why is America feared and mistrusted in the Muslim world even when she tries to help? Why can't the Muslim world accept some responsibility for its problems? Every day the news confirms the conflict between the Muslim world and the American way of life. Dr. Mark Gabriel, former lecturer at Al-Azhar University, sheds light on this conflict, explaining the mysterious attitudes of the Muslim world and why they resist principles such as equality for women, freedom of speech, and other ideals that Americans see as secular, nonreligious, and good for all people. He explains at psychological and religious levels what causes suspicion, animosity, and aggression toward America and answers the question: What can America do right in the Muslim world today? |
