The Dark Side: How Evangelical Teachings Corrupt Love and Truth

Sat, 18 Nov 2006 04:59:55 +0000

Most Evangelical Christians earnestly strive to worship the God of Love and Truth. But a belief that the Bible is literally perfect puts them in the odd position of defending falsehood, bigotry and even violence.

What do Evangelicals teach? How are these teachings distorted? How do they contradict humanity's shared moral core, including the highest values of Christianity itself?

Psychologist Valerie Tarico is an ex-fundamentalist and a graduate of Wheaton College, bastion of Evangelical education. As a young adult, secure in the confidence that "all truth is God's truth," Dr. Tarico committed to follow her questions wherever they might lead. Ultimately they led her out of Evangelicalism.

Tarico's book, The Dark Side, examines the moral and rational contradictions that caused her to abandon those beliefs that once structured her life. In their place it offers perspectives that are compatible with love, logic, and the quest for truth.

Laughter

Mon, 10 Nov 2008 03:01:25 +0000

Laughter! is not a joke book nor is it a book that encourages you to "whistle a happy tune" and "don't worry - be happy." Instead it is a resource that encourages you to focus first of all on the fact that God loves us in Christ Jesus and frees us to be His celebrating people in our daily lives. It is a book that exclaims loudly and boldly and hopefully humorously the fact that we need the Lord Jesus in our daily lives to celebrate life as holy and as a gift from God. May these pages bring many joy-filled thoughts and feelings to you and encourage you to tell and live your stories of Good Friday and Easter. May the power of the spirit tickle you each day! Let there be laughter - in Christ Jesus! Richard Bimler, Robert Bimler.

The Church of the East

Sat, 05 Jan 2008 07:22:09 +0000

"This is a book which is of considerable ecumenical significance and importance since here, for the first time, is a voice from within the tradition of the Church of the East setting out, in an admirably clear and well-informed way, the Church of the East's own self-understanding of its apostolicity and theology."

Dr. Sebastian Brock,
Retired Professor of the Oriental Institute,
University of Oxford

"The Book of Bishop Mar Bawai Soro, one of the leading figures and architects in the ecumenical dialogues of the Assyrian Church of the East with other Churches for more than 20 years, is dealing with two fundamental aspects of ecclesiology: the apostolicity and the orthodoxy of the Church of the East. Some of his views have already been presented at conferences of the dialogues and discussed by eminent scholars."

Dr. Theresia Hainthaler,
Philosophisch-Theologische Hochschule Sankt Georgen
