This is a part of a collection of poems, stories, and short plays, written over many years to mark a particular occasion. Some were produced for use in church or church magazines, school events, and especially for birthdays, anniversaries, personal moments, and family happenings. As many a poet has discovered, once you embark on writing poems for the wife s birthday, wedding anniversaries, and so forth, it becomes an expected contribution, and there is no way out of it but it is still good fun, and I would suggest readers should try it for themselves. I hope the reader will find some items for encouragement in their Christian walk with God, together with others to bring a smile on their face.

Without a Doubt is a story that has to be told. It was bottled up inside me for 40 years, but "when the time had fully come" verily, it did come forth. God gave us two wonderful children, but then took one back, so that he wouldn't have to suffer for a lifetime; and to give us an investment in heaven, that we dared not cash in on. A good story makes you laugh and makes you cry. So grab a box of tissues and get ready to do both.

In this refreshingly candid look at what it takes to live a life of faith, John Ortberg takes an honest look at the misgivings and uncertainties that often shake our beliefs as we navigate through the highs and lows of life. Reflecting on his own bouts with doubt and uncertainty, Ortberg shares with readers his discovery that, rather than being a contradiction in terms, doubt and faith may be very much a part of each other. He challenges readers to consider how doubt can motivate us to study and learn, how questioning expands our understanding, and how uncertainty can lead to trust. These challenges point us toward the relief of being totally honest. The right kind of doubt can be a gift—an action-generating truth that actually allows us to deepen our faith and intimacy with God. Written to challenge, comfort, and inspire readers, Know Doubt reveals uncertainty as a cause for celebration.

"Why do the Gospels depict the risen Jesus as touchable and able to eat? J. D. Atkins challenges the common view that Luke 24 and John 20 are apologetic responses to docetism by re-examining the redaction of the appearance stories in light of their reception among early docetists and church fathers."--Page 4 of cover.

Demonstrates definitively that the secularization thesis is correct, and religion is losing its grip on societies worldwide In the decades since its introduction, secularization theory has been subjected to doubt and criticism from a number of leading scholars, who have variously claimed that it is wrong, flawed, or incomplete. In Beyond Doubt, Isabella Kasselstrand, Phil Zuckerman, and Ryan T. Cragun mount a strong defense for the theory, providing compelling evidence that religion is indeed declining globally as a result of modernization. Though defenses of secularization theory have been mounted in the past, we now have many years’ worth of empirical data to illuminate trends, and can trace changes not just at a given point in time but over a trajectory. Drawing on extensive survey data from nations around the world, the book demonstrates that, in spite of its many detractors, there is robust empirical support for secularization theory. It also engages with the most prominent criticisms levied against the theory, showing that data that are said to refute the narrative of religious decline are easily explainable and in keeping with the broader tendency toward secularization. Beyond simply defending secularization theory, the authors endeavor to formalize it, offering clear definitions of relevant terms and creating propositions that can be repeatedly and accurately tested. Beyond Doubt offers the strongest argument to date for the existence of a global secularization trend, and will be a vital resource for students and scholars alike who study religion and secularism.

Rees provides a theological analysis of doubts as a constructive element within the Christian experience of faith. He considers three theological frameworks, each of which offers an interpretation of doubt, and two life-story theologies that deal with faith and doubt.

2003. War-torn Baghdad: Saddam Hussein may be hiding in a hole, but foreign correspondent Faith Zanetti is once again at the heart of the action. And once again, she's loving it: the heat, the rush, the danger - dare she say it - the excitement. But there is one bombshell that even Faith isn't prepared for. Green-eyed weapons inspector Joshua F.Klein is powerful, wise and seductive, and he's also got the stories Faith needs. Standing under fire with this man, she feels safer than she's ever felt before. But in fact, she's in more danger than ever - buffeted by passion for a man whose allegiances are as mysterious as he is elusive. Is she covering the sodding war or is she losing her mind? With fat photographer Don McCaughrean, hard as nails Carly Posner and her on-off lover Eden Jones, Faith plunges headlong into the war on Saddam and the battle for her own sanity.
