"Expose an irrational belief, keep a person rational for a day. Expose irrational thinking, keep a person rational for a lifetime." - Bo Bennett
This 2021 Edition includes dozens of more logical fallacies with many updated examples.
Maybe you were born to Christian parents and raised as a Christian. Or maybe you are just a part of a Christian nation. You might have attended church regularly, or maybe just on special occasions. If asked, you say that you believe in God, but you really never thought about what that means exactly. You are a well-educated person who accepts the idea of Biblical miracles, but only the more "reasonable" ones. You have read some of the Bible, mostly just parts of the New Testament, but never committed to reading the Bible cover to cover. You are a good person who admires the many "Christian values" as demonstrated by Jesus Christ. But something does not feel right.
* Science tells us that the universe is 13.7 billion years old, but the Bible tells us it's 6,000 years old.
* Science tells us life is the result of emergent properties in combined molecules, and we have evolved from a very primitive life form, but the Bible says that God made us, as is, from dust, and blew life in our noses.
* You see a world where little bunnies burn to death in forest fires, and wonder why an all-good and loving God would allow such a thing to happen.
* You pray to God and you realize that sometimes your prayers are answered, and sometimes they aren't -- just as if you didn't pray at all.
* You hear about other religions and wonder why your religion is right and every other religion on the planet is wrong.
* You have a real problem with the idea of all your non-Jesus-believing friends and family spending eternity in Hell.
In fact, the more you look around, the more you see a world absent of this perfect image of a perfect God. As much as you want to avoid critical thinking and "just let go and have faith," you find that you cannot believe in something contrary to your logic and reason -- no matter how much you want to. This might lead to feelings of guilt, insincerity, and/or hypocrisy. Yet you just can't imagine living life without God, and you don't have to.
When you start asking serious questions about God and religion, you begin to see through the stories of people living inside the stomachs of big fish, 900-year-old men, and bodies coming back to life after three days, and understand how man created God, and not the other way around. By daring to question "sacred" religion, challenging your childhood beliefs, and risking eternal damnation (okay, so there might be a minor side effect to reading this book), you will discover an appreciation for religion on a new level, as well as a renewed appreciation for the human race.
Through a unique blend of science, philosophy, theology, and a touch of humor, you will see how you can trust your logic and reason, be true to yourself, and embrace God -- not as a being, but as a concept -- The Concept.

Описание:
From the moment Hugh Dermott O'Connor--later to become Francis Joel Smith--was conceived, God's perfect plans for his life were already in motion.
Born with Treacher Collins syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that affects the formation of the face during the first trimester of pregnancy, Infant Hugh's face was so severely deformed emergency surgery was performed moments after his birth just so he could breathe. Soon thereafter, he was deemed deaf and retarded. If Infant Hugh survived, it was believed he was destined to live out his life inside the walls of an institution. Yet his medical team fought valiantly to save this helpless infant's life.
The LORD had other plans.
Decades earlier, his God-fearing, God-loving adopted parents--Bob and Betty Smith--were divinely brought together and prepared and placed exactly where they needed to be in order to take this struggling, suffering child who battled for survival into their home, just as they already had with ten other challenged and rejected children they adopted before him. His foster mother, Mrs. Lillian Collins--a loving Christian woman--fought to sustain him and meet his immediate needs that included his first hearing aid and hefty doses of prayer.
At two and a half years old, he was seamlessly integrated into the Smith household where daily scripture readings and prayer nourished him spiritually, and relentless ongoing tube feedings nourished him physically. Above all, Bob and Betty taught their children to love the LORD no matter what and to never give into their challenges. The LORD steadily provided for their needs, and through prayer and loving guidance, every challenge was met head-on.
Today, Dr. Francis Joel Smith is a PhD medical researcher in craniofacial development and is a world-renowned speaker, musician, and advocate for those who suffer from craniofacial anomalies as he has.

Описание: Growing up can be a struggle. Today, an entire generation is colliding with adulthood without ever knowing life before social media, and this has left us striving to attain the life we project there. But what we need isn't there. In our search for fulfillment, we wander in all the wrong places: relationships, sex, pornography, and even marriage. But life still fails to live up to our expectations.
In More Precious Than Silver, author Joel Bennett reveals that fulfillment isn't found in a person-nor are our devices a substitute for real, live relationships. With practical guidance and a bit of humor, Joel helps you discover how the discipline of singleness can better prepare you for a lasting relationship. You'll learn how to dispel the myth about finding "the one" and recognize the truth that love alone is not enough to keep a relationship together.
As Christians, we must move beyond the cultural lies about sex and relationships, and instead submit to the intimacy of God's design. It's harder than ever to live the #ChristianLife in the digital age, but with wisdom and truth, you can discover life as God intended it to be lived: with abundance.
