Author: Dekker, Ted

Category: Fiction

Description:
FBI behavioral psychologist Daniel Clark has a near death experience. His anti-religious skepticism provides him perfect rationalization for what happened during the 20 minutes he was “dead”. But the personification of evil gives him increasing reason to doubt his atheistic conclusions. This may be Dekker’s best book since Three. And that’s saying a lot - he’s written some good ones in that time. The characters, the pacing, the plot twists, the insights, the scares - everything you’ve come to expect from Dekker, but taken to a new level.

Author: Calvin, John

Golden Booklet of the True Christian Life has inspired readers around the world for more than four centuries. This classic devotional will guide you on how to apply the Christian faith in a balanced way to mind, heart, and hand. Originally part of John Calvinís Institutes, it covers themes such as obedience, self-denial, the significance of the cross, and how believers should live their lives today. Rather than focusing on contemplative other-worldliness, the Golden Booklet of the True Christian Life stresses the importance of a devotedly active Christian life. In style and spirit, it is much like Augustineís Confessions, Bunyanís Pilgrimís Progress, or Thomas ý Kempisís Imitation of Christ. Its intense practicality, however, sets it apart, making it easily accessible for anyone seeking to carry out Christian values in everyday life. The translator, Henry J. Van Andel, competently preserved the colorful language and direct style of which John Calvin was a recognized master.
