Could this be where heaven is? Using God’s word, this book will present evidence for the reality of the spiritual realm and also lay out the scientific evidence, from Einstein’s theory of relativity to string theory, that points to the possibility of a higher dimension or dimensions.

This banned and largely forgotten biblical book, dating to the first century, is a series of secret messages and instructions, which Moses revealed to Joshua, prior to the act of passing leadership of the Israelites on to him, and it includes apocalyptic descriptions in addition to prophecies.

Does the rebirth of Israel indicate the last days are upon us?

In this audio compilation of the Book of Jeremiah, the narrator tells the story of the prophet Jeremiah. These chapters of the Bible are broken into biographical, prose, and poetic strands - and have a heavy focus on the events leading up to the fall of Jerusalem during a forty-year period.

Big Bang Theory vs. the Bible has a truly unique comparison between two seemingly opposite perspectives. It brings religion and science together by using the truths of the Big Bang Theory, evolution, astronomy, mathematics, statistical probabilities, and the solar system. It reconciles the calendar of the creation recorded in the Book of Genesis with the calendar of the Big Bang Theory—as the two calendars perfectly and mathematically correlate.

"Le livre de Job" est l'un des Livres du Tanakh (religion juive) et de l'Ancien Testament (religion chrétienne). Poème didactique écrit en prose, on considère généralement qu'il porte sur le problème du Mal. Dans ce récit dramatique, Satan accuse Job devant Dieu et prétend que Job ne servirait plus l'Éternel s'il se trouvait dans l'affliction. Dieu va donc prouver à Satan que son serviteur Job lui demeure fidèle, même dans la souffrance. Dieu permettra au diable de le frapper.

The final world dictator seeking global domination will also be an “Assyrian” who is here characterized by a bow, riding a white horse. It is interesting how many confuse this counterfeit with the rider of the white horse in Revelation 19. In chapter six, however, this rider is among some very bad company! Behold a White Horse explores the career of the first of these “Four Horsemen” who seems to have at least 33 titles in the Old Testament and 13 in the New Testament and the common term “AntiChrist” really isn’t one of them.

In The Chamberlain Key, antiquities expert Timothy P. Smith reveals his decades-long quest to understand the complex messages he discovered in an ancient Hebrew manuscript of the Bible.

His quest shows how Scripture is more amazing than we ever dreamed — and that it may even reveal the future of generations living today.

If I could make it to the bridge, the pain would stop. I just had to make it to the bridge, and the hopelessness would end.

The central message of this advice pertains to seek virtue, integrity, and generosity, as only then can one achieve success and peace.
