Fear and Trembling: Conversations Every Christian Must Have helps people place their beliefs under the light of scripture. In doing so, readers can determine if those beliefs are of this world or biblical in origin.Author Christopher Johnson shares, "In my efforts to spread the gospel, I have come across all sorts of belief systems that are not supported by a lick of scripture. But the believers will fight tooth and nail to justify their views by misinterpreting scripture to the nth degree. For example, some people claim to be followers of Christ, but they refused to be called Christians, or some read the book of Revelation literally and surmise that Israelites are the only ones going to heaven. In each case they build their theology around their views which are totally against scripture."This book offers an unbiased approach to help believers question assumptions and expand their knowledge of scripture.

Book Description:A daily devotion for men¿

World Oil Fact and Policy, a brilliant book published in 1944, delivers a deep exploration and disciplined examination of domestic and foreign petroleum resources, their import to United States energy and security policy during World War II, and their capacity to act as a civilizing catalyst for postwar prosperity and peace.The authors methodically make the case that world wars are both fought for and fueled by oil; that "oil shortage" scares are based upon projections of "proved reserves" and not real reserves or resources; and that Alaskan oil prospects could radically reduce future reliance on foreign resources.The authors also divulge dynamic details of the British-American Petroleum Agreement, a nascent bilateral agreement signed by both governments in 1944, albeit never ratified by the United States Senate.This remarkable book is a must-have addition to any archive and a must-read adjunct for any authority in academia, industry, or government. Read now and share with others. The rich research is as predictive and profound today as it was practically a century ago.
