Lynbrook Baptist Resource Center
Those of you who have attended a service at Lynbrook Baptist know that we have a Resource Table at the rear of the sanctuary. On this table are various books, CDs, videocassettes and DVDs that have been recommended by our Pastor or Deacon Chairman.
This page has been created to allow you to familiarize yourself with these recommendations. Next to each recommendation is the price we're charging for the item at the Resource Table. If you can't make it to the Resource Table (either you can't wait until next Sunday, or maybe you live too far away to visit), you can click on the link next to the title and order it from Christian Book Distributors. CBD has a great selection of items at very reasonable prices. In fact, we buy all our Resource Table material from CBD.
| Light in the Shadow of Jihad: The Struggle for Truth - Ravi Zacharias |
|
| The terrorists who brought death to thousands said they did it in God's name. Thousands of Christians around the world gathered in churches to pray for peace, while others blamed the very idea of God for the tragedy. Ravi Zacharias deals with five of the major questions on people's minds after September 11: Is this true Islam or a fanatical counterfeit? In what ways does the relationship between church and state change a nation's view of religion and affect its culture? Is religion dangerous to a culture? Was there a prophecy that this would happen? Where does this leave the future? If we find those answers, they will spell life, steadying the soul even though the heart still aches. |
