SUMMER 2016 RELEASES
BOOK HOOK: What most of us have heard about heaven comes from ill-informed
funeral sermons and books about widely reported near-death experiences. Hanegraaff
reveals the simple yet thrilling truth about what really happens to us and those we love
when we die. You’ll be left to wonder, “Why hasn’t someone told me this before?”

oubt, even mockery toward the Bible, occurs on every front, even from within the
family of faith. But many of us have never actually heard answers to the questions
that lie beneath the surface. Stenner’s foundational book summarizes accurately and
simply the core facts of the Christian faith. Presented in a pastoral tone, If In Doubt
covers the grand story of all time, from creation to the forthcoming close of human
history and into eternity. Readers will find answer to these questions:
+ Is the Bible reliable? + Is Jesus God? + Is Jesus coming back? + Is there life after death?
+ Did Jesus rise from the dead? + Is there right and wrong? + Did God make the world?

he devastating earthquake that hit Haiti in 2010 was the proverbial straw that broke the
camel’s back for Dr. David Vanderpool. God’s call on his heart was so intense that he

medical care to the people of Haiti. Readers will be inspired after reading stories of people
who have new hope and a future because a team of people came and stayed in their hour
of need.
