Today, when the Crusades are used as a justification for recent wars and acts of violence, The Crusades Controversy provides a sane understanding of how these holy wars fit within the context of history and the modern challenges our world faces today.

Our God has designed each of us to live joyful, victorious, and overcoming lives. But as we look around at the world today, it seems very few people's lives could be described this way.

Christians believe that the Bible is the "word of God." But to what text does this refer? Is it the Bible translation I hold in my hands? Is it a textual family behind the King James Version? Is it a modern critical text, with its attempt to recover a single "original"? Or is it something else? In this lively debate about the world's most influential book, two Christian intellectuals confront this subject head-on. Both participants come from a conservative evangelical tradition, and yet passionately disagree about what version of the New Testament is truly God-breathed.

In the first three books of The Kingdom Systems Series we concentrated on the very real and crucial objective of knowing our God. For the successful living of our lives, we must know our God intimately. We must know who He is and how we can be in an active living relationship with Him. We examined the Scriptures to learn the facts that we are told about our God. We determined that there is a huge difference between knowing about our God through Religion and our knowing our God experientially, personally and intimately through Relationship.

We begin the Series with an in-depth look into some of the must directional, basic and foundational questions that humanity has always asked; Who Am I? Where Did I come from? Why am I here? How am I to live? What happens to me when I die? These and other questions are reviewed from the Kingdom perspective of our eternity and from the reality of our eternalness. The significance and difference between the eternal and the temporary are presented in a simple and understandable format.

In Maddison's last visit to the ancient city, she encountered a man. More surprising was what he lacked on his face.... He wore no mask. A hundred years since the Great Disaster and he not only lived beyond infancy, but he breathed the air. No one breathed free air anymore at the risk of dying cancerous and crazed. Nothing of value is free — not the water, not the land, not the food...and certainly not the air.
