How Islam Plans to Change the World
, By: William Wagner Publisher: Kregel,
ISBN
0-8254-3965-5
The
unfolding conflict between Islam
and the West is not just a clash
of cultures-it is a head-to-head
confrontation between a religion
intent on world dominance and a
culture confused and unsettled
by rising hatred and violence.
In this revealing book, a
veteran Christian missionary to
the Muslim world examines the
rapid worldwide growth of Islam
and credits it to a
well-financed missions strategy.

Radicals, Rabbis And Peacemakers:
Conversations with Jewish Critics of Israel, By: Seth Farber , Common Courage Press,
ISBN: 1-56751-326-3
Radicals, Rabbis And Peacemakers:
Conversations With Jewish
Critics Of Israel edited with
commentary by Dr Seth Farber, a
psychologist and member of Jews
Against the Occupation. Farber's
perspective imparts coherence to
this diversity of views and
informs both his questions and
his commentary: The supporters
of Israel are "self-hating
Jews," Farber reveals, turning
the table on his critics with
this phrase, idolaters who have
sacrificed the prophetic Jewish
passion for justice and
substituted in its stead the
worship of the powerful
nation-state of Israel. Thus the
Zionists, Farber warns, are
jeopardizing Jews' relationship
with God--the covenant itself.
Farber quotes Marc Ellis who
wrote in 1999: "The covenant
remains today in a struggle for
life in the heart of every Jew,
religious and non-religious
alike. It is murdered or given
life as the other, the
Palestinian, is banished or
embraced by the Jewish
community."

Exploring 1 & 2 Thessalonians
, By: John Phillips,

The two Thessalonian epistles share a common them-the second coming of Christ. The first Thessalonian letter emphasizes the rapture of the church; the second letter emphasizes the rupture of the world. John Phillips explores 1 & 2 Thessalonians and shows its relevance for believers today.
