Immortality
1869
""Immortality"" by Loraine Boettner is a comprehensive exploration of the Christian belief in the afterlife. Boettner examines the concept of immortality from a biblical perspective, exploring what the Bible says about the nature of the soul, the resurrection of the dead, and the eternal life that awaits believers. He also discusses the various views on the afterlife that have been put forward by different theologians and philosophers throughout history, including the concept of purgatory, the idea of reincarnation, and the belief in annihilationism. Boettner's book is a thoughtful and engaging exploration of one of the most fundamental questions of human existence, and is sure to be of interest to anyone who is curious about what happens after we die.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Prayer
" From New York Times-bestselling author Philip Kerr comes an amazing departure: an intense psychological thriller, sure to garner even more acclaim for this powerhouse author on the rise. Gil Martins, an agent with the FBI's Domestic Terrorism Unit in Houston, confronts the violence generated by extremism within our nation's borders every day. He sees hatred and destruction wrought by every kind of "ism" there is, and the zealots who kill in their names. Until now, he has always been a part of the solution-however imperfect-a part of justice. But when Gil discovers he played a key role in wrongly condemning an innocent man to death row, it shakes his faith-in the system, in himself, and in God-deeply. It even estranges him from his wife and son. Desperate, Gil offers up a prayer. To know God is there, not through a sign or physical demonstration but through the strength to cope with his ever-growing, ever-creeping doubts. His problems become more than personal as things heat up in Houston. A serial killer terrorizing the morally righteous turns out to have religious motivations, upping the case from homicide to domestic terrorism. A number of prominent secular icons die or are grievously injured abruptly and under suspicious circumstances, the latest of which is a New Atheist writer who's fallen into an inexplicable coma. Left and right, it seems Gil can't escape the power of God and murder. As Gil investigates both cases, he realizes that there may be a connection-answering his prayers in a most terrifying way. "--
