Faulty Bible Interpretation lies at the root of every major mistake and 'ism' assailing churches today, and countless Christians are asking for the old, traditional and proven way of handling the Bible to be spelled out plainly. A new approach to interpretation has also gripped many evangelical seminaries and Bible colleges, an approach based on the ideas of unbelieving critics, stripping the Bible of God's message, and leaving pastors impoverished in their preaching. This book reveals what is happening, providing many brief examples of right and wrong interpretation. The author shows that the Bible includes its own rules of interpretation, and every believer should know what these are.

The Control Book is about the fine art of taking control of your partner. It's about the processes involved, about taking control, using control, about ensuring that you have control, and-importantly-about giving control back once you are done with it. The book discusses how this works-the psychology of it-and looks at what can go right, and at what can go wrong and how to fix it. It considers the role of authority in the equation, and looks at how to manage the control you have over someone so that it is both effective and rewarding for you both. I believe that a very large part of the activities which we include under the umbrella of BDSM rely explicitly or implicitly on control being asserted over one person by another. My goal in this book is to talk about control, explain what it is, demonstrate it, show how to take it, how to give it, how to manage it, and more. I want you, the reader, to be aware of the ebb and flow of control around you and through you.

This volume is a masterful analysis and criticism of the most recent manifestations of charismatic phenomena. Masters gives excellent answers to the arguments used by Wimber and others to defend their healing tactics, and he gives strong proofs for the temporary nature of the sign-gifts. - Bibliotheca Sacra, on back cover.

Composer Mendelssohn, food industrialist Henry Heinz, novelist Daniel Defoe, and some of the most celebrated scientists of all time including Michael Faraday and Lord Kelvin are among the examples of leading people whose lives were changed by a sight of real Christianity.

The subject of how to find God's guidance has become controversial. Some say it comes by dreams, visions, and words of knowledge. Others say that God does not have a specific plan for His people, but allows them to take their own decisions as long as they do so in a wise and moral way. By contrast with these ideas, this book presents from Scripture the time-honoured view that Christians must seek God's will in all the major decisions of life. The author outlines six biblical steps for finding God's will, giving special attention to key areas such as courtship and marriage, possessions and leisure activities. Under what circumstances may Christians seek advancement in career and wealth? Does the Lord determine which church fellowship a believer should join? When is it wrong to leave a church, and when is it right? Clear biblical answers are given.
