'End-of-the-world' ranting and ravings are, once again, parading across our paths. All humankind has and is paying a horrendous price for their ages-old trail of failed predictions. Nonetheless, many are wondering if this time could really be it. And the answer is, NO! In this book you will discover why and how the God of divine perfection in the creation of the physical earth and cosmos is also the same God of divine perfection in the creation and fulfillment of his plan of redemption. That means the world He created is without end and "the end" the Bible consistently proclaims for the world came right on time; it's behind us not ahead of us; its "last days" are past not present or future. This book presents and documents the scriptural and historical evidence. No gaps, no delays, no interruption of time frames, and no strained explanations are needed. All was fulfilled, precisely and chronologically, within human history and as prophesied centuries in advance. Truly, this is "the perfect ending" and great good news for the entire world. It's also the ultimate apologetic (defense) for the existence of God, the climax of the rest of the greatest story ever foretold, and is being proclaimed by this author and other Bible scholars as the basis for the next reformation of Christianity.

The Perfect Ending for the World

This compelling and controversial book strikes at the heart of Christian theology and Christianity itself. It presents a balanced and scholarly re-exploration of "one of Christianity's most offensive doctrines"-Hell and the greater issue of the extent of God's grace (mercy, love, compassion, justice) and wrath in the eternal, afterlife destiny for all people. Inside, conflicting views are re-evaluated, their strengths and weaknesses re-assessed, and all the demands of Scripture are reconciled into one coherent and consistent synthesized view. The author further suggests that our limited earthly view has been the problem, re-discovers the ultimate mystery of God's expressed desire, will, and purpose, and transcends troubling traditions as never before. Bottom line is, God's plan of salvation and condemnation may be far different and greater than we've been led to believe. In a clear and straightforward manner, this book lays out the historical and scriptural evidence as never before.

Hell Yes / Hell No

This book asks readers to ponder this tough and challenging question: Have we Christians been led astray by our own leaders; dumbed down in our theology by ideas, interpretations, teachings, doctrines of men, and traditions that will not stand up to an honest and sincere test of Scripture; and consequently drawn off target in the practice of our faith? The author, however, is not down on Christianity-just the opposite. He's down on what we have done to it. Inside its 266 pages John Noē, Ph.D., re-explores what really is authentic Christianity versus today's institutionalized and compromised versions that we've come to comfortably know and accept. In so doing, readers will discover that beliefs do have consequences. He maintains that this is why our modern-day versions pale in comparison with vibrancy and effectiveness of the Christianity that was preached, practiced, and perceived in the 1st century and turned that hostile world "upside down" (Acts 17:6 KJV). They also pale in contrast to the faith that brought our forefathers to America to found this country and establish its great institutions-most of which we moderns have given away to the ungodly crowd and without a fight. Bottom line is, we Christians are paying an awful price for our self-inflicted deficiencies. 18 key exposé areas comprise this book's smorgasbord of relevant and significant topics, which have resulted in today's dumbed-down dilemma and substandard versions of the Christians faith. These exposé areas are listed on the back cover

Off Target: 18 bull's-eye exposés

This compelling new book addresses this most relevant question--What is Jesus like and doing today? The author first suggests that to get to know someone, anyone, it is important we learn about their past-what they were like and what they did. But what is more important is what they are like and doing today. Why so? It's because people change. Well, so has Jesus. Yet every week in churches around the world people gather to hear a story. For almost two thousand years that story has been told and retold. It's about a man named Jesus of Nazareth--his birth, life, death, and resurrection. It's been dubbed "the greatest story ever told." Make no mistake, that story is important--very important. It's about a real historical human being--the historical Jesus--Who walked, breathed, and left huge footprints in the sand of history and in the lives of countless billions ever since. But that story is also 2,000-year-old history! He's not like that anymore! This book unveils and lays out what Jesus, the contemporary Christ, is like and doing today. It also challenges its reader, throughout, and concludes by asking--Which Jesus will be the Jesus you now follow?

The Greater Jesus

Subtitled: "A balanced scholarly synthesis of four competing and conflicting end-time views." For nineteen centuries and counting, the Church has been made to look like a joke in the eyes of the world as predictions of Christ's Second Coming or Return and other related end-time events have supposedly come and gone without fulfillment. This book offers a unique solution. Herein, the author analyzes the strengths and weaknesses of the four major views, discards their weaknesses, and synthesizes their strengths into one meaningful, coherent, and cogent view that is more Christ-honoring, Scripture-authenticating, and faith-validating than any one view in and of itself. The four views in order of their prominence today are: dispensational premillennialism, amillennialism, postmillennialism, and preterism.

Unraveling the End

The reality of good and evil has become a conundrum of unscriptural notions that have evolved over many years and appeal to most Christians. Therefore, this book re-explores the question of who is responsible for the creation of evil in the first place and its purposes. Of course, some say Satan is responsible. Others say sin. Many cite human free will. A few say pre-creation chaos. Others admit they don't know; it's a mystery. But some say God. Most agree that God allows, permits, and even uses evil in our world. But is He responsible for more than that? Today, all over the world, people are suffering from evil, even horrendous evil. The two traditional and persistent questions are: Why is this so? and Where is God in all this? In this book, you will discover better answers and more scriptural and historical explanations than you've been given before.

The Creation of Evil

The kingdom of God is the most important and all-encompassing concept of Scripture. Yet the kingdom remains one of the most misunderstood, misconstrued, confused, abstracted, abused, contested, and ignored realities in the Church. The kingdom of God was also the central teaching of our Lord Jesus Christ, at the heart of his ministry, and the very essence of New Testament Christianity. Today, however, the kingdom is no longer the central teaching of his Church, at the heart of its ministry, or its very essence. Consequently, when the Church in America lost its kingdom orientation and worldview, we started losing the culture and our children in droves. Inside this inquiring book you will discover answers to: Has Christianity been tamed? Are we Christians losing America? What is the Second American Revolution? Is there any viable hope? The kingdom conundrum. Return of the Miraculous. Grounding the kingdom time- and nature-wise. Turning the world upside down again.

A Once Mighty Faith

Nailing on the 500th Anniversary! About every 500 years, a pivotal event and revolutionary upheaval has transpired in Christian history. It's termed "the 500-year cycle." On October 31, 1517 (allegedly), Martin Luther nailed his "95 Theses" to the door of his home church in Wittenberg, Germany. This event launched the Protestant or Great Reformation. Unfortunately, that Reformation stopped far short, addressing only one of the two great works of the Messiah--that of salvation. It ignored Jesus' everlasting kingdom. Therefore, on this 500th anniversary in 2017, wouldn't it be just like God to launch The Next Great Reformation? In this booklet, you will discover:   Why the central teaching of Jesus is no longer central of most of his Church. Why Jesus' kingdom is caught up in conflict and confusion. A historical comparative between 1517 and 2017. The nailing of these "96 New Theses" for discussion and debate.  How we Christians could turn the world upside down again. "For such a time as this."  "It's time to rise up. It's timefor reformation. The next great awakening. . ."-Mark Batterson, Draw the Circle
