Heaven is a Place on Earth emphasizes the importance of creation for the Christian worldview. Many Christians will recover the true meaning of their lives when they stop thinking like Plato and read their lives through the biblical story of creation, fall, and redemption. This liberating journey through Scripture shows you how.
Don’t Stop Believing addresses the questions that this current generation is asking: is it possible to know anything?, must you believe something to be saved?, are people good or bad?, can non-Christians be saved?, does hell last forever? Each chapter begins with a fundamentalist extreme, cites a postmodern over-reaction, and closes with a third way which retains the best insights of each.
Both books have sufficient theological content to interest experts but are intended for anyone to read with profit. They are theological books for the church.
Christ Alone is the first book-length response to Rob Bell’s Love Wins. Although it is a critique of one book, the issues it addresses–hell, universalism, sin, and most important–what is the gospel?–will be roiling the evangelical world for some time. I hope that readers will use Christ Alone to delve into the Scriptures and discover for themselves what God says about “heaven, hell, and the fate of everyone who has ever lived.”
The Last Enemy is an honest and hope-filled look at death. This book’s devotional style will help anyone who trembles when they consider their mortality. I don’t sugar coat death. It’s as bad as you think, and worse. But Jesus has triumphed over the grave, and if you follow the instructions in this book, so will you.
I gave Don’t Stop Believing to my dad for Christmas – but I couldn’t handle it sitting on my shelf before I wrapped it and I read it first!
Thank you for this well-written, easy to read, and thought provoking book. I had been looking for a good overall look at the emerging church and postmodernism’s impact (good and bad) on the Church, and this was excellent. Thank you, thank you.
Kristi:
Thank you so much for your encouraging word. Your kind response is exactly the reason I started writing. May God give you many opportunities to serve his church.
I think you need to update this portion of your blog, Dr. Wittmer…it feels as though a book is missing…
“Christ Alone” is an excellent response. It clarifies the gospel and supports Biblical authority. Thank you for taking the time to write this necessary apologetic.
I just finished reading “Christ Alone” after reading Mr. Bell’s “Love Wins”. Thanks for putting things back in their proper perspective. You confirmed everything I know to be true about God and the Lord Jesus Christ. Thanks for taking the time to write it and share your years of studying scripture.
