All these I can wait to share with you another day but not this Cool book I came across today at Century Square Mount Zion Christian booksotre!!
What I'm looking at is "Answers of questions to Christian Faith and Reasons why we should consider Christianity" by Josh Mcdowell & Don Stewart.
Left one copy ONLY!!Can’t wait to buy up and read this book. What a great strategy, to renew memebership for next year, I would need to purchase above $20 between the month of Oct to Dec and would receive a free gift. Ok, this book costs $17.20. Would need to buy another stuff to amount to $20.
Recently not been reading my current book, "Courageous Leadership" by Bill Hybels as my buffer time were sleeping or reading up my school notes on buses. Gosh.. only at page 90. Left with 140 more pages to go..
Anyway, back to the "Answers and Reasons" book.. Eyes scanning through the different titles on the content page and was locked onto the topic about how Jews are the objective evidence that the Bible is real!
It first started 4000 years ago when God made a covenant with Abram, called him to leave his family and go to an unknown land. God promised to make a great nation from Abram and to bless him. God also promised to bless those who bless him, curse those who curse him. 100 years later, God appeared before him and made known the covenant. Made a great nation, made him a great name (Abraham), multipying his descendants generations after generations.
Indeed, the Israelites were living in a nation, but they were disobedient. Thus, God scattered them into different nations... King Cyprus of Persia released willing Jews to return from Babylon to Jerusalem to rebuild the temple and city. Yet, after temple was built ready for worship, the people strayed from God again..and the 2nd time, they were separated and were strangers in foreign lands for 1,900 years!!!! They were persecuted by others, thats why there was World War II. and the Jews were sent to concentration camps..whats that? a place where they were totured and totured menacingly and heartlessly.
Usually, for those who left their homelands, when they returned to their own nations, after 5 generations, the cultures will be very different, that nation is already destroyed!
Ammon, Moab, Edom are examples of the destroyed ones.. Conversely speaking, Israel is not. Wow! This indeed shows the Faithfulness and Promises of God!!!
haha.. I have shared what I know roughly.. got to buy the book soon! Just so cool to grow our wisdom by reading!
