This book does not try to sound clever, or win an argument. It does aim to to introduce people to Jesus and the answers he gives to the hard questions we ask.Many Christian young adults and teenagers have hard questions about their faith. Many non-Christians do, too. Michael and Carl take nine of the hardest, such as “Doesn’t Jesus ruin your fun?” “Why is there so much suffering?” and “What does Jesus really think about being gay?” These aren’t questions with easy answers; but, as they show, they are questions that have good answers. Written for people of all backgrounds and beliefs, it’s a book that is short but not simplistic, and clear but not condescending.
If you are a Christian struggling with these issues… if you want to have confidence to talk to your friends about these things… or if you are a non-Christian who wants answers to the hardest questions you can ask… grab this book.

Promises Kept : The Whole Story Of The Bible (Student/Study Guide)
$8.99Read moreOne Saturday, less than a decade after the end of Jesus of Nazareth s life, a man named Paul stood up in a Jewish synagogue with a mind-blowing message.
We tell you the good news, he said. What God promised our fathers, he has fulfilled for us, their children, by raising up Jesus (Acts 13 v 33-34). In many ways, in these two sentences Paul was summing up the story of the whole of the Bible.
God is a promise-making God. Throughout history, He has made huge, extravagant, wonderful promises to humanity. Crucially, God is also a promise-keeping God. What He says, He does. And at a particular point in history, He fulfilled all of His promises in the life, death, resurrection and rule of one human Jesus, a carpenter from a small Jewish town. The good news is that God’s promises are promises kept.
This Good Book Guide will take you on a rapid tour of the whole story of the Bible. Over nine sessions, you ll travel from the beginning of the past, through our present, to the future. Each session you’ll discover one of God’s wonderful promises, and see how He kept it in Jesus.
It s a whirlwind tour. It s a breathtaking tour. And it s a tour we re part of…
