The Fourth Dilemma by Pieter Erens Barkhuizen — Christians throughout the United States are enthusiastically supporting various movements that insist that God’s law must once again be the center of our lives, both personally and publicly.

Brushed Back by Ethan & Mardene Fowler — Cocky and good-looking, Trevor Bullock was the man. He was a star pitcher, the life of the party, and the girls loved him.

In the Shadow of the Shekinah, by Roy Gane, professor of Hebrew Bible and ancient Near Eastern languages and director of the Ph.D./Th.D. and M.Th. religion programs at the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary at Andrews University – How could the Israelites possibly question whether God was among them? They knew without a shadow of a doubt—they had seen His presence, heard His voice, and eaten the food He provided. Yet they were still inclined to act as if they had never gotten the memo! Roy Gane fills in background details that help us understand their wilderness experience and God’s sometimes-puzzling decisions. Not surprisingly, our journey parallels that of the Israelites—and we too must learn those same lessons before we enter the Promised Land.

Strangers In The Land by Louise Vernon — The Edict of Nantes had been revoked, and the Huguenots were no longer free to practice their religion.

Knowing Jesus Is Everything, by Alejandro Bullón — If you’ve ever thought that the Christian life is just too difficult—or even impossible—take a deep breath, find a comfortable chair, and face reality.

Prophecy Speaks by Earle Albert Rowell — A man named David Dare was inviting all skeptics, scoffers, unbelievers, and infidels to his lectures—and they were free to interrupt at any time with questions or with denials of his statements!

Or was it?
