"For many people, it is difficult to imagine Christmas without a whirlwind of giving and receiving presents. Yet millions who are delighted to accept gifts, large or small, refuse to accept the greatest gift ever offered - and one that can be theirs at any time of the year. Here it is: 'The free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord' (Romans 6:23). In December 2005, BBC Radio 4's programme Sunday ran a 'Reduced Nativity C ..."
How to Enjoy Your Bible(1stEdition) (Paperback) by JohnBlanchard Paperback, 192 Pages, Published 2007 by Evangelical Press & Services Ltd ISBN-13: 978-0-85234-670-9, ISBN: 0-85234-670-0
"This book is written out of two firmly held convictions."
"'Where do we go from here?' is the final question all humanity faces, and this booklet tackles it head-on. Exactly what does happen to us when we die? The immediate future of the body is fairly obvious, but what about the spirit or soul? Is it annihilated or reincarnated? Is it conscious or unconscious? Do we face endless pain or endless pleasure? Is there a 'second chance' to put things right? Do we have to wait until after we die to f ..."

"The theory of evolution has been called 'the most powerful and the most comprehensive idea that has ever arisen on earth'. It has been so passionately argued and so heavily promoted in the mass media that millions of people with no scientific expertise assume it must be true. Evolutionism says that life on earth began by chance in some kind of chemical 'soup', and claims that Homo sapiens is the latest product of a vast sequence of spec ..."
"One of the things that distinguishes humankind from every other species on earth is that we have a moral dimension. A moral law seems to be programmed into our psychological 'software' and our awareness of it is triggered by the conscience, a mysterious monitor that pokes its nose into every nook and cranny of our lives. Why should this be the case? does our moral sense come from nature, is it nothing more than a cultural phenomenon, or ..."

"With so many false views of heaven all around us, John Blanchard gets rid of any speculation and focuses, from the Bible, both on what heaven is and how people are to make their way there. The author reminds us of what is so often forgotten in relation to heaven: that the most wonderful thing about it is being with Christ. In a world that is fixated with the here-and-now, here is a reminder of what Richard Baxter used to work hard at co ..."

"Ever since humankind has lived on earth we have been teased or tormented by questions that seem programmed into our humanity. The most important go far beyond those that focus on the kind of issues millions face every day -- marriage problems, financial worries, failing health, pain, loneliness, insecurity and depression. They ask such things as 'Why am I here?'; 'Would it matter if I had never been born?'; 'Does life need to have any m ..."

"The Bible is the most revered book in the world; it is also the most reviled. Millions of people turn to it every day to find inspiration and direction for their lives, yet for 2,000 years no other book has been so hated, vilified and attacked. Many of its translators have been persecuted, tortured and murdered, and countless copies of their work have been banned or destroyed. Yet for many people the Bible is neither loved nor loathed ..."

"For centuries symbols have been used as a means of identification, often in an immediate, compact and powerful way. For some 2,000 years Christianity has had a symbol that is universally recognized - a simple cross. Yet the cross represents not the character, life or teaching of the founder of Christianity, but the gruesome way in which he was put to death while still in his early thirties. For millions today a cross has become little m ..."
