Awesome David. I'm so sick of threads being interrupted by insecure desperate authors with no TACT. They can sell their crap somewhere else.

If someone can't properly (and maturely) promote their book - then I seriously doubt they can write one. (i'm sure there are exceptions...)

Lee and Robert are a great example of how to promote and discuss an authors books and issues properly. People should ask them questions if they have any.

Greetings to everyone on Christian Apologetics...And Beyond. I was excited to find this group. My name is Michael, and I am author of The Conditioned Mind. It would be wonderful to have you stop by the book website (www.theconditionedmind.com). I also serve as Co-Founder and President of Kingdom Community Ministries (KCM) (www.kcmcounseling.com). I earned my Doctorate of Ministry in Christian Counseling, and hold both a Bachelors and Masters in Theology. Looking forward to the process whereby iron sharpens iron. Peace! The Conditioned Mind

Although I don't think of it as advertising, I think it's great that we have a place to list our publications. I definitely like to know what my friends on various forums have written.

My books are:

Revelation: The Way It Happened
John's Gospel: The Way It Happened

I've also written a couple of Poker books.

Thank you, David, for allowing us this space to share our work with the group. I've written a philosophy book entitled 'Morality Is The Problem,' which takes a close look at the logic of our ethical judgments and considers the theological/metaphysical implications of our ethical pretensions.

I spent nearly 8 years in spiritual and mental isolation working on it, and so I've probably driven myself utterly batty. But still, I think it can prove to be a valuable book for those who struggle with uncertainty about certain doctrines of Christianity, as it approaches them from a somewhat unusual perspective.

I thought being batty was a requirement for philosophy, look at Sartre and Nietzsche. Congratulations on your book, Jake.

Jake, if you'd like to send a paper copy for a review on The Dubious Disciple, let me know. www.dubiousdisciple.com

I guess I'll add 'Creation Strikes Back: How Chimpanzees Devolved From Man' to the list. The book is serious, but higly speculative and humorous to break up any appearance of a textbook. I try to resolve science and religion. Unfortunately, few want that in either camp as it makes them rethink their cozy little notions. I suppose I wrote this for conservative christian intellectuals - both of them!

My book is an apologetics dream come true lol!

Should Christians celebrate Christmas? Is Santa really Satan in disguise? Is Roman Catholicism in line with the bible? How to indentify false prophets? What does the bible say about gay marriage & abortion? Are animals created in God's image? Is suicide forgivable? My book: “Tough Lessons from the Bible” answers these questions and more.

Although this book is controversial, my goal is to properly teach what true Christianity is. It's not to attack Christianity but to let people know what Christians should or should not be doing. This book sparks debate because there are people who have opposing views to what is expressed in this book. "Tough Lessons from the Bible" is thought provoking, yet compelling.

My book is available @ Amazon and Kindle.

Some great topics Mack. Feel free to start a post about any of them. Suicide is one we really haven't tackled yet. It often comes up in my chat with atheists and young Christians.

Thank you Mr. Rod.

I'm new to this group, but I'm trusting that it will be more civil than an atheist group where I dared to mention my new book. It's aimed at those who think there is a conflict between science, God, history and reason, and who are interested in a balanced view of the evidence. It has so far received good reviews from those who have read it, the negative review is from an atheist chose to review it without reading :(

Find out more about me any my books at http://pdhemsley.com/

"More civil than an atheist group!" Hah! Not the slightest chance. If you're trying to reconcile science and faith, you might have to duke it out with Robert for the movie deal, right Robert?

Right, Brent. I could be snarky, but won't and will try to accurately represent why I, and maybe you PD, should frequent this group. Probably the main attraction is you don't spend much time discussing the boring stuff in the middle of the bell-shaped curve, but live in the tails, often many standard deviations from the mean! This is both to the extreme right and extreme left just to even out the flavoring. I've been exposed to some extraordinarily wacky viewpoints, but, to their credit, the proponents are all intelligent, well-read both Biblically and in supporting areas, and thoughtful enough to present their theology persuasively. Not persuasively enough to alter my own Christianic understanding, perhaps, but at least enough to make me question its underpinnings. Entertain me a little and make me think and I'll lend you my ear, and, perhaps not so welcome, my tongue.

Thank you for the opportunity to share...there is no conflict between science and spirituality...they are one and the same.

It occurs to me that I never notified y'all of Jake's book. It's very good; my review is here:

http://www.dubiousdisciple.com/2014/0...

Phil, I am reading yours now. Thanks for sharing, guys.

Thank you Lee; I really appreciate your taking the time to read my book.

There are some interesting titles here, and I'm going to take a look at them since I have spent a great deal of time with faith, science, etc., and, in fact, it was rejection of certain scientific paradigms based on their logical fallacies, etc, that led me to studying to Bible years ago, so this will be interesting. Don't get me wrong, I'm not anti-science, but given the vast amount of philosophy and assumptions underlying scientific interpretation I find it fascinating. And there aren't just 2 camps with creation & evolution :), that's gross oversimplification, nor are there three simple camps of atheistic evolution, ID & young earth creationism, but we like to lump people into simple groups (not saying these books have done that because I haven't read them yet.)

Hi, everyone.

Thought it would be worth mentioning my book briefly. I wrote A Mere Christian which was recently self-published. I'm a long-time fan of C. S. Lewis, and a Christian since age 4 or 5.

In 2012, Stacy and I lost our youngest daughter Laura at the age of 24 from a congenital, lifelong illness. We care for her and stood fast in faith for her all those years.

Following her passing, we wrote about her story and our lives and faith in Forever And A Day For Laura Michelle (iTunes and a free download here on Goodreads).

As I began to take inventory of my life, my faith, and the future, I realized that I needed to give account to myself just why I believed what I believed. I think of it as personal apologetics.

We should not just be convincing others of why we believe, but we ourselves need to witness to ourselves.

I began teaching Mere Christianity to our adult Sunday School class. That lasted almost a year and the result was A Mere Christian. You can read more about it on my web site at http://www.amerechristian.com and a giveaway is currently on Goodreads for 20 copies. That will end on June 14.

So far the reviews that I've gotten are favorable. But the success of the book is less important than will it water those who are seeking a deeper relationship with God the Father.

We tend to follow our faith as a matter of habit, and do the things that we have been taught to do, and almost robotically walk through each day of our life.

Christians need to know what they believe and why. Why do we believe God is a loving God? Why do we believe that he only gives good things to us? How can we know that Jesus was the Christ? How can God be both just and merciful?

These are some of the most important questions Christians should be asking themselves.

A Mere Christian is not a terribly long book. It is 90 pages, but it is probably one of the thickest books you'll ever read. Friends who read it commonly tell me that they have read and then immediately reread each chapter because it was so 'thick.'

Ok, that's my one and only slug for the book. :-)

Warmest regards,

Ron Smith, MD

Just picked up your "Revelation..." book--looked fascinating--can't wait to dig in. I've been a biblical prophecy nut since I read Hal Lindsey as a teenager. Sometimes I get criticized by other Christians for focusing too much on eschatology (I run a website called neveracceptthemarkofthebeast.com where anyone can pledge not to allow marks or implants) But I shrug it off--I know it's my calling and only need to turn on the news to know we are getting closer every year... (maybe every week). As a side note: crazy how many Christians I find are into poker (must be the intellectual challenge)

haha...hope you enjoy it, Todd!

You got me Lee--I was thinking end of the world-- interesting concept; I have heard the theory you espouse about Revelation--don't know much about it. I will continue reading with an open mind and get back to you.

Hi, I am new to Goodreads. Thank you for this opportunity to let others know of my recently released book Echoes of Jesus: Does the New Testament Reflect What He Said? Echoes of Jesus: Does the New Testament Reflect What He Said? The website www.echoesofjesus.com provides full access to the introduction, extensive table of contents, and endorsements. Written assuming the reader is neither a Christian or a historian, but is someone expecting well presented and referenced solid evidence. Major topics include: how could the early disciples capture Jesus' words when He spoke them (literacy and memory)?; the accuracy of copying manuscripts (textual criticism); and the credibility and content of non-Christian ancient literature that comments on Jesus and the first Christians. There is lots more, including an examination of statements from the Quran about the Gospels and the Torah. I look forward to future discussions. I expect to release copies of the book on the Goodreads free giveaway program within the next month.

Hi, My book Echoes of Jesus: Does the New Testament Reflect What He Said? http://www.echoesofjesus.com is now available through the Goodreads.com free giveaway program for various countries. 20 copies have been made available.

Hi all, I thought I would list my book on here, it's called Hope Reformation. It's available on Amazon and the paperback is best, it's self published and the kindle conversion.. well I should probably pay someone to fix it.

If you've ever been frustrated or upset at Christians who say "God loves you" and then threaten with eternal torment this book is for you. It explores the full breadth of scriptural perspective on what God's fire is really about, among other things.

It's a message about the goodness of God. It contains hundreds of plain language scripture references and explores some basic church history. The process of writing this book has, without exaggeration, changed my life.

So every scrap of help, criticism or advice is a welcome blessing! Let me have it! haha

Hi Joshua, Your books sounds interesting. How would you compare your book to The Fire That Consumes by Edward Fudge?

I haven't read that, from looking at the blurb I'm probably on a very different wavelength.

Isaiah asked who could dwell with (or perhaps in) everlasting fire. His answer is the righteous! To traditional theology this makes no sense.

To me it makes perfect sense. The title isn't a bait and switch. hope you enjoy it!

I was thinking about what Brent said. You know I'm not actually in this for the money and I have never aspired to be a famous author. Writing a book took me by surprise, I figured self publishing was the first step. I'm just a bit passionate about the goodness of God I guess.
In my experience so far the things I write about have provoked strong emotions in most people, so it's not for the faint hearted. If anyone on this forum is interested in reading my book, just send me your details and I will mail a copy to you, no charge.

Joshua, do you talk about the "face of God" in your book?

Yep, among many other deep and profound life changing concepts! haha

Transformed by Love (the Story of the Song of Solomon)

Many find Solomon’s Song a ‘hard read.’ But this book and modern translation follows the storyline to show how, through heart-searching highs and lows, King Solomon lifts this unknown woman from despair to queenly glory.

You will also learn why this vision of the ‘shepherd king’ led to Solomon’s own downfall: and yet how perfectly it reveals what the love of Jesus, the true ‘Good Shepherd’ and ‘King of Love,’ can do for you.

Greetings:
My debut book is a pre-apocalyptic thriller called "Write Place, Right Time." It is the first of what I hope to be a series of novels that follows the investigations of a Christian freelance journalist named Don Lamplighter.
In each book, Lamplighter stumbles onto mysteries that relate to Biblical prophecy.
The first book is being published by Christian Publishing House.Write Place, Right Time: The Pre-Apocalyptic Misadventure of a Freelance Journalist

Free advertising? Okay, I'll take that any day. I've written two Christian books:

No Errors in My Bible, Sorry about Yours

and

The Geography of Heaven

The first is apologetical and so relevant to this thread. The second, that just came out a couple of days ago as I write this, is about Heaven and Hell and has nothing to do with apologetics, but it is about the Bible.

Those are funny Nasty topics Mark. Glad you're here.

Joshua wrote: "You know I'm not actually in this for the money ..."

Don't tell the IRS that you're not in it for the money, or they'll say that writing is a hobby and not a business and you won't be able to deduct your expenses. :-)

Allow me to alert you to THE REVOLUTIONARY CONSERVATIVE'S SOLUTION, available through Amazon Kindle at $2.99. I decided to go the Indie route and "cheap" because the material is time-sensitive and traditional publishing takes too long and costs too much. As you can probably glean, it's at the nexus of politics and religion. Regardless of your theological leanings or voting preference, this book is guaranteed to set your hair on fire!

I notice that most people have written very brief passages in this thread. Maybe I should take a hint, but as a constant reader and writer, I wish you all had said more - certainly, quoting a sample passage wouldn't hurt.

This Moonless Sky, my book, is a series of three interconnected 'science-fiction' tales featuring a 17-year-old narrator who is new on the planet and new to Christianity. He was secular on Earth, but tried to commit suicide, was rescued and patched up by aliens, and after 400,000 years of cryogenic space travel, was deposited on a planet with other transported humans in a largely Christian country. As his harrowing and sometimes comedic adventures on his new planet unfold, he learns to understand the unique local views on Christianity and related philosophy.

There are two stumbling blocks that readers need to get over to read this book. One is that they have to tolerate discussion of religion and philosophy integrated with the action and adventure. The other is that they need to tolerate discussion of factors that cause people to feel alien, inclusive of sexual and cultural differences. This is not a book for people who are limited to 'eeew' when they encounter a gay or paraphilic character. (I hasten to add that there is no porn, not even at the level of James Clavell.)

I'm going to end this announcement with a quote from the book, one I've picked because it seems to fit this forum. It's from a philosophical discussion that happens over a round of peanut butter cookies as the wife of a local chieftain (she happens to be a university professor) explains why her people remained Christian when they found out that their fellow-nationals who remained on Earth had all become Muslim. Quotations from characters don't necessarily reflect my own viewpoints. A small amount of unusual terminology is used that is explained earlier in the book - I think you can get the gist here anyway.

"Saraa sipped her tea slowly. “There is an interesting story in Marrik’s question that relates to why our Korabaas people are the way we are today. Our culture has diverged from that of our people on Earth. They, long after we left, converted to another worship of the same God, Islam. In fact, someone with the same title as my husband, apart from a slight difference in dialect – Modibo Adama – became one of the famous jihadists of north central Africa, as did his neighbour Usuman dan Fodio. Already, with that name Usuman, you can hear the Arabic that has entered their language. These two men and the son of Usuman, Mohammed Bello, who the people called Maigari, took sword in hand in their adjacent regions and created a vast conjoined Islamic emirate, the largest chunk of Fuolbhei-dominated territory that ever existed – Sokoto and Adamawa. Now, conattainable (= at the point in time where a spaceship leaving Earth would reach here 'now,' c. 400,000 years in the future -- i.e., circa 2008), our people are a minority in every country they live in, but they had their moment of red-hot imperial rule. Naturally, when we found this out from Communicator information brought in over the centuries, we examined our siblings’ religious practice to see if we should consider changing our worship, or if, on the other hand, we should consider it an error. There were some very knowledgeable and wise exponents of Islam from westernmost Diyyana and the adjacent part of Qodra, and we interviewed several of them. We reached an understanding that Islam, like Judaism, is a valid and genuine worship of our God – just like the general view now in the Church of Vweialer. We have adopted their terminology that Christianity, Islam, and Judaism, and one more religion not known to us, Sabaeanism, are ‘religions of the book’ that are differing ways of addressing the same creator. But we didn’t change our own path.

“At an elementary level, you might say that this decision followed the advice of their holy book, the Quran, because it says that for each religion of the book,

“‘we have indicated a divine law and a well-marked way. Had God willed it, he could have made you one community. But so that you may be tried in what he has given you, you should compete one with another in good works. You will all return to God, and then he will clarify all the matters in which you differ.’

“We were impressed by the request for faiths to strive with each other in good works. We have noticed, especially on Earth, that all of our religions may excite some people who want to co-opt faith to excuse their will to dominate others. There are also of abusers of faith, or slaves of faith gone wrong, who want to flee from the variety of normal life by making everyone dry and ascetic. Even our inspired Fuolbhei jihadists of the Earth were prone to banning music, something we cannot imagine. Many kinds of extremist views can arise. At worst, people can become flattened and turn their adherent faith into an adherent-in-reduction – a vainglorious sentimentalism, a bloodthirsty romanticism, a den of pious superstition, a thing that’s small-minded but imagines it’s the best that ever was.” Saraa paused and contemplated us, perhaps to see if we were following her.

“I can relate to that,” I said, “my hometown had a lot of that sort of thing. If Yith and I had got together there, we would have been outcasts or worse. For some of the Christians of our town, there was nothing worse than love. The wrong kind of love, that is. As if it came in kinds.”

“There you are, you’ve been there and seen it first hand. Christianity has had its low points – the Inquisition, the Spanish expulsion of the Jews, the witch burnings, the destruction of Constantinople by the Fourth Crusade. Islam had them too – conversion by the sword, the hypertaxation of Christians and Jews, persecution of the Baha’i and Ahmadiyya, the random killings of the innocent by the Al Qaeda movement in conattainable time. Even the new rebel child of Christianity and Judaism, scientific atheism, took its turn at the same dichotomy of mild and fanatical – the latter expressed in Iosif Dzhugashvili, who called himself Stalin, the man of steel; Adolf Hitler, who played with Catholicism like a cat with a mouse and finally let it drag its injuries into its hole; the African Marxist-genocidalist Mengistu Haile Mariam; and most pointedly for us, the deadliest nomadic herder’s son of conattainably recent time, Choibalsan, the Mongolian Stalin, who slaughtered 30,000 Buddhist monks. So if every movement whose aim is peace and love is susceptible to being overtaken by allineate self-interest [self-interest that tries to represent itself as the good of the group], we all may need each other for correction. Someone must save the books that the others would burn – how much classical Greek philosophy was saved by Muslim philosophers and librarians?

“Beyond that, though, the differences among our religions relate to the omnipresent topic of power. When we had to choose among beliefs, we had to think very carefully about these things. Marrik, I am sure you heard, on Earth, of the early days of established Christianity, after the Roman emperor Constantine, when people were persecuted for being heretics. Maybe you heard that the followers of Patriarch Nestorius from Antioch felt compelled to emigrate en masse from Asia Minor and Syria to Persia just so they could say that the divine nature of Jesus was separate from his human nature. [In fact, I had never heard of this but I nodded anyways.] In later years such disputes were often thought to be nearly insane; they were compared to the mock-medieval question “how many angels can dance on the head of a pin?” – which was never a serious issue in anyone’s philosophy. So why have churches and nations hung on questions like “is Jesus the same substance as God, or is he only like the substance of God, or partly like it, or unlike it?” The reasons is that these ideas all have implications for the power policies of God and the example it sets to individuals.

“Islam is involved in these questions, because it says that attributing God’s nature to Jesus is the number one sin of ‘shirk,’ making God more than one. So our ancestors had to decide about this idea. Were we heretics?

“Having our Book of Power already with us was a help, because we could cut to the chase and see the main issue that was involved. The question really was about how friendly God could be, how humble. In terms of power, would God only conserve power over us, in the power-conservative way of a benevolent ruler? This would maximize seir dignity and lordliness. Or would sey conserve power with us, exercising seir egalitarian prerogatives – or as your people would put it, Marrik, would sey ‘get down and dirty with us’ [yes, she said it in English]. Would God allow semself to be humiliated like the people in seir creation are? Would sey feel our pain as one of us? As the ultimate creator of everything that makes us suffer, would sey go so far in empathy as to share that suffering? Or is the suffering in some way our unique destiny or even our fault – with blame pinned on the mythic Adam and Eve or on each one of us – so that we, as lesser beings, should be left to it alone?

“We understand, of course, that it’s not up to us to choose the God we want based on the power relations we like. We can’t vote for the democratic God as opposed to the monarchical God. The question is really about our faith in the nature of God’s love – would that love go so far as to be lashed by a whip while it was clad in a human nervous system, and to be mocked by fools while it could make no answer? The council of bishops at Nicaea in 325 AD adopted the radical answer that yes, God in seir wholeness would absolutely go that far with us.

“Imagine the perplexity of poor Arius of Alexandria, excommunicated and exiled in the 320s because he insisted that Jesus, as a ‘begotten son’ of God, had a later starting point than God the Creator. But by putting Jesus out of God’s eternity and into the time stream as later-begotten, he reduced the participation of God in Jesus’ life, and through that, in ours. You could say that his downfall lay in implying that God had conserved power against humanity by not sending us seir co-equal eternity in Jesus. Arius, in his nit-picking of words, diminished God’s compassion and thus, by extension, compassion in general.

“Islam rejects the notion of God or even God’s chosen representatives suffering all the pains and humiliations of humans. Muslims typically believe that such abjection is impossible and inappropriate for one so powerful as God. Christianity with its orthodox portrayal of Jesus as fully God and fully human says that God’s love will make this gesture for us, so that we are not alone here in the sufferings we may endure. You remember what that Polaues (St. Paul) said: “don’t just look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others. Take this attitude yourselves that was also in Christ Jesus, who, although he existed in the intrinsic form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, and being made in the likeness of humans.” There is only one ‘religion of the book’ in which God can become a slave. This led to the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche labelling Christianity a ‘slave morality,’ but the point is not to be a slave per se, or to rationalize an abject condition, but rather to be there in solidarity with all the humans who have been put in this position. For after all, what has put them in this position except the various freedoms of creation, whether chance in physics and biology or the consequences of all the free decisions they made themselves and that others around them made? Some who suffer made most of their own problems, but many did not.”

That's just great, Mark; thanks, now I won't have to bother to read the book. A teaser is just that - too much information just exposes all the author's biases. Best to let the reader buy the book and discover them for himself.

I don't mind deterring sales by exposing the ideas that potential readers might encounter.

This isn't something I'm expecting to make money on.

The New Yorker hasn't invited me to do an excerpt, so I needn't worry about further obstruction of my sales there :)

I'm the author of DIVINE TRUTHS REVEALEDNice to Meet everyone!

It is an account of a profound mystical near death experience. At a young age, finding myself very dissatisfied with the Western view of God and religion...I began to seek Him in the Eastern Religions. To my surprise, I found that He had been where I least expected to find Him...all along!
God is sublimely rational and loving. He is the creator and sustainer of an extremely rational, organized and harmonious universe! In my NDE, I was shown that God is a rational yet intimately loving God.

Ariela I have about a 100 questions for your book: and you might not like them. But please stick around and chat. It would be fascinating to find out what your Biblical theology is.

Ok I'm here!
So, you have 100 questions that I won't like?? Sounds pretty interesting...to say the least! For starters...there is just no way humanly possible for the human mind to ever 'comprehend' God. He just does not fit into our puny minds...no matter how hard we try to cram him in there! Most of the dogma and doctrine that men articulate and articulate over...over and over is useless in God's sight since He is way above and far beyond our little man-made dogmas and doctrines.
This might take care of 50'of your questions:). Lol
Ciao

That'll do nicely, thanks.

As part of my NDE, I was shown America under nuclear attack. After the deal with Iran, this could very well become a reality! God help us all!

Iran is, geographically, nearly a point-source compared to the US, so you needn't worry about them militarily until they have a widely dispersed fleet of nuclear submarines. (Israel, which could be devastated by two warheads, has legitimate reason to worry). In any case, 95% of the people in Iran are friendly - I've been there.

Right now, the Lord has sown in the militant Wahhabi cult movements like ISIS and Al-Qaeda a hatred of all things Shiite, and this is why Iran is now in an alliance of convenience with the US government, as well as in the process of trying to have its Houthi allies take over Yemen, which is infested with Al-Qaeda. The US may be in the process of effectively giving Iran the mostly-Shiite southern part of Iraq as their reward for tackling ISIS. In a combat situation, someone has to have boots on the ground, and when they do that, they traditionally lay a claim to the spoils of war.

Perhaps we should move this line of discussion to another thread, though.
