"Why did God do thing X in such an unusual way? Didn't he realize that if he had done it in a more conventional way, he would have gotten better results?" When we look at how God handled our salvation, it is easy for us to look at the things surrounding the life of Jesus and to say, "I could have done it better." The author shows us how we are invariably wrong in such thinking. Author: Daniel M. Deutschlander. Available at NPH, Amazon, & Barnes & Noble.

A Christian's path to heaven is bounded on both sides by numerous ditches into which any of us can easily slide. Satan often prepares another trap on the opposite side of the road, so that in avoiding the obvious trap, we will overreact and fall into the second instead. The author counsels us on how to stay on the narrow middle road and out of the ditches on both the right and left. Author: Daniel M. Deutschlander. Available at NPH, Amazon, & Barnes & Noble. 

Many people expect the road to heaven will be an easy walk after they have accepted Jesus as their Savior. The author teaches us that our path will be anything but smooth. While in this world, the life of the faithful Christian is not governed by the theology of glory, but the theology of the cross. Jesus suffered, and we also will suffer as we follow him on our heavenward road. Author: Daniel M. Deutschlander. Available at NPH, Amazon, & Barnes & Noble.

Someone has a question. Perhaps it is a challenge to our faith, or perhaps someone genuinely wants to understand what we believe.

The Bible says that the foolishness of God is wiser than men. The author shows how Martin Luther believed this and made it a foundation stone of his theology.

To some, the occult is the source of amusement and of party games. They daily read their horoscopes for laughs and would gladly take part in a séance merely for a new experience.

He can use illusions and the black arts to trap the unwary. Author: Siegbert W. Becker. Available at NPH, Amazon, & Barnes & Noble.
