Over the ages, Christianity has experienced and endured many hardships, trials, struggles, martyrdoms, persecutions, and all sorts of pain for generations from since the church was born. But the actual fact is that the spiritual war that started at the creation of this present world between good and evil has been raging on over the ages and has never stopped. In fact, as the days go by and the end of the present system of things is coming nearer and nearer, according to the Bible, things are going to get worse and worse. This is what has been written in the Bible about Lucifer, the devil. However, the church still has to go on and not despair or lose hope. And most importantly, the church should not lose focus. Why? Because she believes in the almighty, powerful, and able God, the faithful God, the God of the universe, who is the Creator of the heavens and the earth. The Christian faith and hope is not hope in the human spirit, human goodness, human abilities, human qualifications, human intellectuality, human endurance, human experience, human plans, or human achievements. Rather it is hope in the power and faithfulness of the living God—the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Abraham’s God was and is the God of the whole earth. He is the God of Jacob, the father of the twelve tribes of Israel. Christianity believes in the God, who does not fail. This God is known for his abilities, which are unique and cannot be compared with anyone else or with any other god.

A Dynamic Reading of the Holy Spirit in Revelation attempts to read the book of Revelation in a new way as a narrative, embracing literary elements such as plot, point of view, narrative voice, character, and story structure to help readers discover its meanings by tracing the story anew. Lee's unique narrative perspective offers readers a bird's-eye view to experience four levels of the story: heaven, earth, abyss, and the lake of fire. Lee develops a theological account of John's pneumatology and surely extends Christian pneumatology, a doctrine inseparable from the life of the church. Readers will come away with a greater understanding of the role of the Holy Spirit, which will enable them to enjoy a deeper fellowship with the Holy Spirit more intimately than ever before. Lee portrays the book of Revelation as a mission-oriented book that tells how the kingdom of God will be built in this world through spiritual warfare, rather than as a book of eschatology. Lee's book will serve as a spiritual wake-up call to the modern church and the people of God in its accurate portrayal of the Holy Spirit and vivid description of spiritual warfare.

The Brain and the Spirit invites readers to embark on a practice of listening to the Christ story through the earpiece of neuroscience. After many years steeped in brain science, the author had an unexpected encounter with a theologian, James Alison, whose trust in God and forgiveness toward others appeared to defy neurobiological explanation. How did his encounter with the Christ story produce in him the Christlike responses that it did? This question launched the author on a thrilling quest to listen to the scriptures and take up questions of creation, humanity, sin, Jesus, salvation, the Spirit, and the body of Christ, to hear what might get amplified by our ever-expanding understanding of the human brain. Readers are invited to eavesdrop on the twists and turns of the author's story and take up their own practice of listening to the Spirit, scripture and theology through the earpiece of neuroscience, and to become curious how the Christ story may spark trust which unlocks our brain's capacity to engage reality with relationality, kindness, creativity, and access to joy.

A band of misfits boards an airship to search for utopia, in this novel by the author of The Balloonist, a National Book Award finalist: “A delight” (Philip Pullman, author of The Amber Spyglass). An unemployed American metaphysician, a perpetually ill English nurse, a guilt-ridden German captain—they and a handful of others are about to board an airship called The League of Nations. Under the seductive spell of Moira, a mix of mystic, cult leader, and prophet, these haunted men and broken women will go in search of a mysterious polar promised land—but the journey may not take them where they expect it to . . . Set in the years after the First World War, this is a uniquely imaginative novel from an author praised by the Chicago Tribune as “a gifted craftsman, a meticulous writer whose powers as a storyteller are as compelling as the sexual tensions he imagines.” “His sympathy for such a range of characters in their crazinesses, their various kinds of loneliness, their sheer comedy is wonderful. I think it’s one of his very best.” —Philip Pullman, author of The Amber Spyglass “As stirring and beautiful as one of the airships that MacDonald Harris so obviously delighted in . . . Witty, sexy, surprising, and so generous to his cast of crackpots and con-artists and heartsore seekers.” —Owen King, author of Double Feature “[The author] weaves a magical web of words in his narrative of mysticism, séances and a dirigible named The League of Nations . . . The action is inspired and written in undeniably gorgeous prose.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
