Ice,
Thomas. What the Bible says about heaven
& eternity [236.24 ICE]
“Looks at references in Scripture to the future for both
Christians and unbelievers in a question-and-answer format. The answers they uncover are comforting and
exciting for the person who is trusting in Christ, and
an encouragement for those without a personal relationship with Jesus to trust
him as Saviour”.
Hitchcock,
Mark. 2012 : the Bible and the end of the world [236.9
HIT]
“The ancient Mayans were expert
astronomers, and their advanced calendar cycles end on Dec 21, 2012. This has
spurred worldwide speculation that 21/12/12 will be a catastrophic day of
apocalyptic for the entire globe. The doomsday scenarios include destructive
solar storms, massive earthquakes, a polar shift of the earth’s magnetic
fields, and total annihilation. Missing from all the furore is a biblical
perspective. Bestselling author and
prophecy expert Mark Hitchcock examines the following questions:
- why Dec 21, 2012?
-
can we trust the Mayan alarm clock?
-
Does
the Bible say anything about 2012?
-
What
signs will tell us that Armageddon is near?
This book provides a fascinating
survey of both the historical past and the prophetic future.”
Note: Reader is advised to read till the end. The answer to all
the myths and theories only comes later in the book.
Buckingham, Jamie. Daughter of destiny [243 BUC]
“Wherever Kathryn Kuhlman went,
people who once thought miracles impossible learned to believe in miracles.
Before she died, she asked that only Jamie Buckingham be allowed to write her
official biography – withholding nothing. Here, then, is the story, not of a
plaster saint, but of a very human woman – of marriage and divorce, of betrayal
within her own staff, of the shadowy events that surrounded her death. It is
the story of Kathryn Kuhlman that few knew, as she wanted it told. It is the
story of the redhead from

Chew,
Jim.
When you cross cultures : vital issues facing
Christian missions [266 CHE]
“Jim Chew has served for thirty years as a
missionary. This book is born from his concern that many of these “two-thirds
world” missionaries and lay workers (as well as many from “developed” lands)
are entering upon cross cultural work with inadequate preparation for that
increasingly complex task. This means
that they are being subjected to unnecessary and avoidable stresses and
strains. Jim shares keen insights that
will provide invaluable counsel to both candidates and missionaries who are
struggling with the complex problems of inter-cultural adaptation. The term “tent-makers” (after Paul) has been
used of suitably qualified professional or business people, who at the call of
God enter these lands, to make a bona fide contribution to their
development. By their diligence and
effective lifestyle, and low-key witness as opportunity offers, they commend
the Gospel to the many hungry hearts around them. The counsel here could help
the tentmaker from many unavoidable mistakes, and also shows how to exploit the
situation to the maximum for Christ and the national church.”
Choo, Jiamin. Out of the harbour :
a young person’s voyage of faith on the ship Doulos
[266 CHO]

world’s oldest ocean-going passenger ship built in 1914. From 2005 to 2009, she
sailed to over 30 countries to bring a message of hope, and learnt to love the
world beyond her shore, one port at a time. Jiamin is
now back in
Roberts,
Dana. Secrets of Watchman Nee [266
ROB]
“Provocative,
thoughtful, insightful analysis of the real Watchman Nee: how he lived, what he
taught, how he influenced contemporary Christianity, and which parts of
contemporary Christianity and Chinese culture influenced him more than anyone
realised. Dana Roberts unravels the myths and reveals the man.”
