Persian Problem
$17.98
The methods of modern scholarship have undermined biblical historicity and the original intent of biblical writers. The Persian Problem highlights one of these key controversial areas.
A dilemma confronts all who would identify the Persian kings in Scripture and then synchronize them chronologically. This aspect of the “Persian Problem” has three parts.
First, the identity of the “Artaxerxes” mentioned in Ezra 6-7 and in Nehemiah. Persian history gives us little help because the Greeks and Muslims destroyed nearly all their records. In attempting to identify this king, scholars have forced the ages of Ezra, Nehemiah, and Mordecai to be much older. They “solved” this issue by subsequently “inventing” a second Ezra, Nehemiah, and Mordecai. However, this created a greater difficulty!
Most historians agree that Xerxes ascended the throne in 486 BC and that his son Artaxerxes I, or Longimanus, succeeded him, dying in 424 BC. However, with regard to biblical usage, the first year Longimanus was associated on the throne has not been correctly fixed! This shocking fact is the second part. Indeed, this date is a major key to Bible chronology!
Finally, there has been a failure to carefully compare the list of 31 priests and Levites returning with Zerubbabel (536 BC: Cyrus’ 1st year) in Nehemiah 12:1-9 with the 10:1-10 list. This oversight leads to a 91-year gap between the two rolls, creating a far greater age problem involving many more people than the Ezra, Nehemiah, and Mordecai issue! Moreover, the entire “Persian Problem” is convoluted. As the kings from Darius the Mede to Artaxerxes I are examined, an overview of neo-Babylonian history becomes necessary-and new problems surface.
While honoring all relevant Scripture, the work contained herein resolves all the above issues.

Oh Moon, moon, moon that shines so bright.
Please send this message far . . .
So all will know that they are loved,
No matter where they are.A Message in the Moon was inspired by Downey’s own story of losing her mother when she was just ten years old and the comfort her father brought her. Years later, when Downey left home for college, her father pointed to the full moon and told her, “Whenever you feel alone, always look into the night sky, and you’ll be reminded of how much I love you. I’ll leave a message for you in the moon.” That simple comfort remains with Downey today, and now she is passing it on to parents and children alike.
Beautifully illustrated by New York Times bestselling artist Holly Hatam, A Message in the Moon features charming vignettes that show characters finding reassurance in the moon’s message. “Whether your child is going to their first sleepover, their first day of school, or their favorite stuffed animal is inexplicably gone, whether they are experiencing the loss of a goldfish, or a sibling has left for college, A Message in the Moon helps parents to explain the feeling of longing to their little ones,” Downey writes.
With whimsical artwork and uplifting rhymes, A Message in the Moon is a perfect reminder for parents and children alike that they are never alone. They just need to look to the moon and remember that they are loved.

Forgive : Why Should I And How Can I
$29.00Pastor and New York Times bestselling author Timothy Keller outlines the reasons why forgiveness has to be a central part of everyone’s lives.
Forgiving anyone in a meaningful way is one of the hardest things a person has to do. If you do not, resentment and vengeance begin to consume you. It is nearly impossible to move past transgression without forgiveness, but few people have the resources and the tools to forgive others fully and move on with their lives. Forgiveness is an essential skill, a moral imperative, and a religious belief that cuts right to the core of what it means to be human. In Forgive, Timothy Keller shows readers why it is so important and how to do it, explaining in detail the steps you need to take in order to move on without sacrificing justice or your humanity.
