New Releases by Chris Conrad

Este no es un libro ordinario sobre la religión. La furia de Dios: castigo o consecuencias naturales nos ofrece una perspectiva novedosa sobre preguntas antiguas y difíciles: ¿por qué los judíos del primer siglo rechazaron a Cristo a pesar de que estaban esperando al Mesías? ¿Por qué Jesús no ha regresado si prometió que lo haría en breve? ¿Por qué Dios impuso tantas reglas, cuando podríamos resumir todo el carácter de la ley en una única palabra: amor? ¿Cuál es la ley principal que nos acercará a Cristo? Y - la pregunta más importante - ¿por qué tuvo que morir Jesús? A través de su emocionante e imperiosa narrativa, en esta nueva mirada al plan de la salvación se hace una revisión de la historia bíblica desde la perspectiva de la Gran Controversia, una guerra que se desató en el cielo por el carácter y autoridad de Dios, después de que Satán lo acusara de ser arbitrario, rígido, implacable y severo, y de haber mentido al decir que la muerte era la consecuencia natural del pecado. En este estudio detallado, complementado con los extensos conocimientos de las escrituras que profesa Conrad, se hace un seguimiento profundo a la historia bíblica y se comparan diversas teologías para responder a las preguntas formuladas por los cristianos de la actualidad, presentándonos una teología alterna con toda la capacidad de sacudir la Tierra.

City boy Andy is 16 and looking for the freedom of a summer job and an old car he can fix up, like he did with his real dad before his mother remarried. Now he''s plunged into two new worlds. One of rodeo cowboys and cowgirls and a ghostly mystery over a century in the making. The other, a trip back in time to see how it all began, conducted by a cryptic host known simply as Fisheye.

Back of the book blurb: Mystery Lovecraft is at an awkward age when nothing seems to go right. Like starting her sophomore year in a haunted school. Or finding out the little girl next door doesn''t really exist. Throw in a geeky new friend and a demon cat and God knows she could use a little help. So why should she be surprised when He calls?Story: Fifteen-year-old Francine resents living in the shadow of her famous namesake aunt. Trying to convince everyone to call her by her middle name, Mystery, is almost as bad. But now that she and her parents are moving in with Aunt Fran, there are other problems. The biggest is the boarded up old house across the alley. It looks abandoned but seems to be the hub of a lot of weird activity. Ghost stories old and new are surfacing in the little town of Oildale and even God Himself might be taking an interest. But why is He drawing her, a teenager who can''t seem do anything right, into this supernatural puzzle? Maybe it''s time she lived up to her name and found out.

Back of the book blurb:Bryan Alter has a few more problems than most fifteen year olds. His wheelchair? No, he''s use to that. But a strange dream leads him to a crime which his dad, the FBI agent in charge, doesn''t seem to think is important. Then there''s his quirky live-in cousin...and the steampunk girl next door...and the scary school janitor...and the vindictive quarterback...and the hateful cheerleader. Oh, and his mom''s the principal. Other than that it''s all good. Well, except for one other little thing. Those emails from God are kind of starting to get on his nerves.Story:Bryan''s first day at a new school should be simple enough, a field trip to a local tourist site. That is, till he finds himself in the same park he visited the night before in a dream. When a crime''s discovered there his dad, an overworked FBI agent, shows little interest. But cryptic messages on his laptop tell the sophomore there''s more to this than meets the eye. A body found, a broken cane, stolen computer files, and a crime no one''s sure even happened. How can he ignore something God himself seems to be taking an interest in? And how can he convince his dad and everyone else unless he unravels the clues and solves the crime?

What is God really like? In religion, like science, we need to know the truth! What started the war in heaven? Does God care for me? Is faith really all we need to be saved? Why did Jesus have to die? This bold study addresses these vital spiritual questions with a biblically solid, inspiring, and fresh perspective. Conrad reveals a magnificent God who prefers that we consider ourselves his trusted friends and not just obeying servants-a caring God who wants us to be willing to ask him even the hardest and most personal questions. He describes a great controversy in which God has been accused by Satan of lying and shows how God has demonstrated his truthfulness. He focuses on the question of why Jesus needed to die and gives a surprising, clear, and reasonable explanation. He tells of a gracious God that loves us more than life itself and prepares us for a time of trouble soon to come. Most of all, it introduces an alternate theology-the Great Controversy-Demonstration Model-that may shake the Earth.

This is a discussion on why Jesus had to die, and compares the traditional Christian view of the atonement to the Great Controversy-Demonstration view.
