Is it God's will for a brother to marry his sister so that they can create a population of mankind? Is it God's will to wipe out the entire Amalekites (Canaanites) nation? Is it God's will to demand Abraham to sacrifice his only son Isaac? How could God bless Job and then take away all the blessings from Job? There are so many questions we develop whenever we read the Bible, just like how many parts and verses of the Bible makes no sense at all. Because of how we read the Bible; we think of God as a bigot, sadistic, bully, and hash judge. Yet we see God as a loving God in the New Testament, from that conclusion alone makes us contradict the Bible. Many Christians say the Bible is God's words, yet how could God's word be so hard to comprehend and misunderstand? God gave a user-friendly promise to Abraham in a form of a picture by pointing out to Abraham how abundantly large his descendants would be; by showing him the numerous stars in the skies in order to convince Abraham and make his imagination run wild. If God can explain His promise to Abraham so simply, why is it so hard to understand some verses and stories in the bible if the Bible is God's words? Come with me and I will explain to you how we misunderstand God whenever we read the bible. You will come to conclude the reason why God makes certain decisions, or why God allows certain things to happen. You do not need to be a scholar, Apologetic, or highly educated person to understand God. Many questions you have or questions many ask countless times are answered in this book.

From the Garden of Eden, where blaming games originated and through that, our God has been misunderstood. This is the main theme of this book, that we see how God is viewed as the originator of our problems. In reality, He is there to protect and save us from all unrighteousness. The problem we have is that we do not exercise the patience to wait on God’s timing on whatever circumstances that we are challenged with. Therefore, we then apply human reasoning to our circumstances instead of viewing things in God’s perspective. To borrow my spiritual father Charles Stanley’s saying, we should obey God and leave all consequences to Him. If we learn to trust God and obey Him, even if it doesn’t seem favorable to our human reasoning, we are positioned to be successful. I have a strong confidence in the Lord that this book will open the eyes of people to see that God is a loving Father to all.

How can a God of love also be a God of judgment? If God loves everyone, what is the point of judgment? Does God change from being wrathful in the Old Testament to loving in the New Testament? Can we discern God's judgments in current events, such as hurricanes and personal tragedies? Is it ever right for humans to judge? These are not just daunting issues for theologians to ponder. They are urgent questions for everyone. Our answers profoundly affect how we relate to God and how we live with one another. Coming to grips with these issues is vital for our spiritual journeys. Many people today emphasize God's love and downplay his judgment. The problem with this approach is that God's judgment is taught in Scripture from the beginning of Genesis to the end of Revelation, and it is a core part of the gospel preached by Jesus and his apostles. There are problems at the other end of the spectrum too, when we believe in a God of judgment who is not also a God of love. It is impossible for us to find spiritual peace when we live in constant dread of God pictured as a harsh judge whom we can never please. This book calls us to embrace a more full, biblical image of God---one that joins his love and judgment together. Additionally, the book shows that, as those who are made in God's image, we can fuse love and judgment together constructively in our own daily lives. "To a world of smiley-faced bumper stickers assuring us that God is love, Stephen Moroney bravely asks: What do we do with the judgment, justice, and wrath of God, all occurring in rather impressive numbers throughout scripture? His well crafted and engaging answer is that we do a disservice to God as well as to ourselves when we try to have one---either a God of love or a God of judgment---without the other."

"Grape Juice in the Bible" presents a strong case for the fact that Israel in Bible times had fresh grape juice as a healthy beverage. It also shows God's disapproval of alcoholic beverages for His people and details the great change in the approval of alcohol among Christians through the last 200 years in America. The reason for this book is clearly presented by a recent blog (aletheiabaptistministries.org): "It would be an uphill battle merely to advocate moderation in drinking as many conservatives do, but to come to a conclusion that total abstinence is a Biblical mandate, would place one immediately in the backwater of Christian social fellowships. But that is just the conclusion I've come to, not just because I find it the overwhelming norm of Christian history, or because the statistics on drinking grow increasingly alarming, but because I've become convinced that this is the only consistent biblical teaching."

Most of us pray to God. Right from the time we are children, we have faith, hope, trust and belief. But some of us love God and we seek God.

This book reveals the mother of all conspiracies. It sets forth biblical proof and irrefutable evidence that will cause the scales to fall from your eyes and reveal that the world you thought existed is a myth. The most universally accepted scientific belief today is that the earth is a globe, spinning on its axis at a speed of approximately 1,000 miles per hour at the equator, while at the same time it is orbiting the sun at approximately 66,600 miles per hour. All of this is happening as the sun, in turn, is supposed to be hurtling through the Milky Way galaxy at approximately 500,000 miles per hour. The Milky Way galaxy, itself, is alleged to be racing through space at a speed ranging from 300,000 to 1,340,000 miles per hour. What most people are not told is that the purported spinning, orbiting, and speeding through space has never been proven. In fact, every scientific experiment that has ever been performed to determine the motion of the earth has proven that the earth is stationary. Yet, textbooks ignore the scientific proof that contradicts the myth of a spinning and orbiting globe. Christian schools have been hoodwinked into teaching heliocentrism, despite the clear teaching in the bible that the earth is not a sphere and does not move. This book reveals the evil forces behind the heliocentric deception, and why scientists and the Christian churches have gone along with it.
