For 70 years, we have been taught that Jesus died on the cross from asphyxiation (strangulation) because in the hanging position he was unable to exhale. This theory is not based on sound science. This audiobook explains the medical cause of Jesus's death and why even Pilate was surprised how soon Jesus had died. The dramatic changes that took place in Jesus's body from the Last Supper until death are described in layman's terms.

The Book of Revelation is one of the most misunderstood and yet profoundly powerful books in the entire Bible. For centuries, believers have wrestled with its mysteries, drawn to its vivid imagery, prophetic declarations, and majestic portrayal of the risen Christ. But beyond its symbolism and prophecy lies a timeless message that speaks to believers of every age, offering guidance, hope, correction, and the promise of ultimate victory. Revelation Chapter 1 is the foundation upon which the entire book is built. It is here that the Apostle John receives a glorious, awe-inspiring vision of ...

For Apostolic believers, the gift of the Holy Spirit defines who we are. From the first chapter of Genesis to the last chapter of Revelation, the Holy Spirit is evident in shaping our lives. A typical Bible commentary offers verse-by-verse analysis, usually of a single book of the Bible. This book resembles Bible commentaries in its thorough and comprehensive scope and its canonical survey of the Holy Spirit in Scripture. But unlike commentaries, this book gives us knowledge to undergird our Pentecostal experience.

Satan wants there to be cliques, factions, and denominations, but God wants us to have unity (1 Corinthians 1:10; Ephesians 4:1-6). Satan knows the strategy of divide and conquer. This problem occurs when members of the body of Christ do not follow Paul to follow the risen Lord Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 11:1). God had some hidden wisdom and power in the cross that He kept secret from Satan and mankind until He saved Paul. Our ministry is not about us, but about what Christ accomplished by His death on the cross for our sins and resurrection. Our goal is to save the lost and share the ...

Despite protests and warnings from friends and family, author Madeleine L’Engle, at the age of seventy-four, embarked on a rafting trip to Antarctica. Her journey through the startling beauty of the continent led her to write Penguins and Golden Calves, a captivating discussion of how opening oneself up to icons, or everyday “windows to God,” leads to the development of a rich and deeply spiritual faith.

Ever wonder why much of American Christianity is pro-spanking, pro-tough-on-crime, anti-gun control, pro-war, and hell-affirming, even though Jesus taught mercy, non-violence and enemy love? When Michael Camp started deconstructing his evangelical faith, he noticed a pattern. The doctrines he questioned—original depravity, substitutionary atonement, God-ordained genocide in the Old Testament, the doctrine of hell, etc.—were all tied to retribution and violence.

Join author Wayne Stiles as he walks in the steps of Jesus: through Bethlehem, Samaria, Jerusalem, Nazareth, Galilee and beyond. Experience the places where Jesus met a lonely woman in Samaria, a den of hypocrites in the Temple, a Jerusalem Pharisee still searching for truth, fishermen with a sea of false expectations and a hometown ashamed of Him.

The Old Testament account of the prophet Jonah’s remarkable experience in the belly of the whale is highly debated by Bible commentators. Though many believe it is pure allegory and doubt God’s ability to create a whale large enough to hold a man in its belly, Dr. Henry Morris provides a well-researched biblical history as a compelling defense for the literal interpretation of the book of Jonah. Jesus the Messiah confirms the record of Jonah as absolutely real and profoundly important in the New Testament (Matthew 16:17 and Luke 11:29-32). In the Remarkable Journey of Jonah, Morris ...
