Summary:

The Amazing Story of the British Evangelist Whose Heroic Efforts Touched Society’s Greatest Evils

The expressions on the faces of the men, women, and children on the filthy, smelling streets of London’s East End in 1865 told the sad story: for them, life would never change. They would always be poor, always hungry. No one would champion their cause.

As William Booth walked their streets, the British evangelist was deeply moved and revolted by the squalor. He knew he must dedicate his life to bringing new hope to these people. At that moment, the Salvation Army was born, and under its passionate and energetic founder began its growth into one of the most famous evangelistic agencies in the world.

The normally confident, cynical Nick soon finds himself thrown off-balance, drawn into an intriguing conversation with a baffling man who appears to be more than comfortable discussing everything from world religions to the existence of heaven and hell. And this man who calls himself Jesus also seems to know a disturbing amount about Nick’s personal life.

Notes     Previously published as: The coming revolution in world missions.
Bibliog.     Includes bibliographical references.
Summary This is a call for the church to be the church – burdened for the lost, and using all of its resources in the most effective way possible to reach them. KP Yohanan presents a beautiful way that God is working in these last days.  He proves how ineffective mission trips are, how ineffecient, and how the same resources could be used to help the church around the world send out its own missionaries, who are far stronger than the average American. It is also a radical call to true Christian living – - sacrifice.

Title:

The case for faith : a journalist investigates the toughest objections to Christianity / Lee Strobel.

Publication info:

Grand Rapids, Mich. : ZondervanPublishingHouse, c2000.

Physical description:

300 p. ; Appendix, Citations, Notes, Index (pp.263-300); 21 cm.

Summary:

In his #1 best-seller The Case for Christ, legally trained investigative reporter Lee Strobel examined the claims of Christ, reaching the hard-won verdict that Jesus is God’s unique son. But despite the compelling historical evidence that Strobel presented, many people grapple with serious concerns about faith in God. As in a court of law, they want to shout, ‘Objection!’ They say, ‘If God is love, then what about all the suffering in our world?’ Or, ‘If Jesus is the door to heaven, then what about the millions who have never heard of him?’ Or, ‘If God cares for everyone, then why does he eternally torture some in hell?’ In The Case for Faith, Strobel turns his tenacious investigative skills to the most persistent emotional objections to belief—the eight ‘heart’ barriers to faith. The Case for Faith is for those who may be feeling attracted to Jesus but who are faced with formidable intellectual barriers standing squarely in their path. For Christians, it will deepen their convictions and give them fresh confidence in discussing Christianity with even their most skeptical friends.
