This book explores the pursuit of happiness, God’s way. People want to be happy, but what is happiness, and how is it attained? Some seek happiness through the euphoria caused by opioids like heroin. Others pursue it through material possessions or personal accomplishments, like career promotions or fame. Sadly, most find themselves disappointed because their view of what would make them happy is misguided. In fact, for many, the pursuit of happiness leads to utter misery. In the Beatitudes, Jesus sets forth the pathway of blessing. His insight is counterintuitive. It challenges popular understandings of how to be happy and blessed. However, a life lived in this way not only brings satisfaction and fulfillment in this mortal life, but it also leads to everlasting bliss. The happiness found in the Beatitudes f lows out of becoming like God in character. That can only happen in a relationship with him. In fact, human happiness is utterly impossible outside of a relationship with God. “God cannot give us happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing” (C. S. Lewis, Mere Christianity, 50). PURCHASE AT WESTBOWPRESS.COM/BOOKSTORE OR AMAZON.COM
Rapture or Tribulation seeks a biblical answer to the question: Will Christians go through the Tribulation period? That question has occupied the minds of believers for many years. However, rapid changes in today’s world events have alerted many to the urgency of the question. The signs pointing to Christ’s return are more evident than ever. This study does not advocate one of the three positions. Instead, it evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of each in the light of Scripture. PURCHASE AT WESTBOWPRESS.COM/BOOKSTORE OR AMAZON.COM
Ironically, as we improve methods and techniques, we are reaching fewer people with the gospel. There are deeper issues that are not being adequately addressed. Sadly, some are suggesting that we redesign Christianity to suit the tastes of our culture. This is producing an alarming departure from scriptural truth. In Authentic Christianity, Dr. Tow challenges the deceptions inherent in that movement and calls the church back to New Testament Christianity in doctrine and lifestyle. He does this by providing a theologically sound exposition of 1 John with relevant, practical application. The Christianity Jesus died for works if we will fully commit to it!
