"One minute after you die you will either be elated or terrified. And it will be too late to reroute your travel plans."

Get ready for life after death.

Imagine walking through a maximum security prison and seeing the cell keys hanging inside the cells. By choosing not to forgive, we voluntarily sentence ourselves to diminished, pain-filled lives. Why would anyone do such a thing? Because forgiveness seems an inappropriate response to offense. To experience a broken promise, betrayed confidence, personal rejection, false accusation, injury, or abuse, is to be wounded. Such wounds cry out for justice. But what if justice is not possible? Or if it doesn't undo the damage done? What then? In this concise, quickly-read volume, noted pastor and author Erwin Lutzer carefully illustrates how it is possible to right the wrongs of your life. Whether you've been wronged--or have wronged others--he makes it possible to experience the freedom of forgiveness, and the restoration of a clear conscience.

Christ prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane for His cup of suffering to be taken away. It wasn't. Paul prayed three times for his thorn to be removed. It remained. And countless Christians have prayed countless prayers that have been unanswered by God. Perhaps you, too, have wondered why a loving God would let prayers go unanswered. Dr. Lutzer helps us find answers to these difficult questions, while shedding light on the character of God. Coming to Grips with Unanswered Prayer is a faith builder, asserting it is because the Lord has our best interests at heart that He often delays responding to our prayers or answers them in ways we don't expect.

Where is God When We Suffer?

No one plans to have an unhappy marriage, yet marital conflict is common even among Christians. Some couples despair of finding hope even after years of personal struggle.

Satan is interested in your personal downfall. Just as the Lord is a personal God, Satan is also a personal spirit. His goal is to lure even the strongest Christian into his domain. Dr. Lutzer talks of ten difficult biblical concepts of Satan and his power and presents them in an understandable manner together with advice applicable to today's society. He details the history of Satan's total rejection of goodness and the ramifications of that rejection for each one of us. Dr. Lutzer points out the cunning traps the accuser uses to draw us into sin. He follows with sound, biblical methods for combatting the enemy. Satan has a course he would like each of us to take, but as Dr. Lutzer notes, we can choose Christ's glorious plan for our lives and "shatter Satan's evil plan."

The Riveting Story of the Reformation and Its Significance Today The Reformation unfolded in the cathedrals and town squares of Europe--in Wittenberg, Worms, Rome, Geneva, and Zurich--and it is a stirring story of courage and cowardice, of betrayal and faith. The story begins with the Catholic Church and its desperate need for reform. The dramatic events that followed are traced from John Wycliffe in England, to the burning of John Hus at the stake in Prague, to the rampant sale of indulgences in the cities and towns of Germany, to Martin Luther nailing the Ninety-Five Theses to the door of the Castle Church in 1517, to John Calvin's reform of Geneva. Erwin Lutzer captures the people, places, and big ideas that fueled the Reformation and explains its lasting influence on the church and Western Civilization.

When Your Decision to Change Is Not Enough...

Every era is equipped by Satan with a potential Antichrist. Because he doesn't know when Christ will return to earth, the deceiver keeps prepared in every era individuals who will promote his cause when the last battle is fought.

This eBooklet is "must" reading for anyone who desires an accurate, concise overview of the New Age movement and its potential influence in the end times.
