"Christianity"—as the word today is broadly understood—is the largest and most successful religion on planet Earth. But with so many contradictory teachings going by its name, any honest observer must conclude that today's "Christianity" is a confusing mess. How did the teachings of one Man nearly 2,000 years ago come to resemble a confusing Tower of Babel? And can you find the truth in the midst of the confusion? You need to know!

People used to consider the United States the world's top super-power nation. Its power and wealth and influence were unsurpassed, and billions looked to the U.S. as the "leader of the free world." In recent years, however, U.S. influence has waned, and this once-rich nation is facing some of the darkest days in its history. Can anything be done to restore America to its former heights?

When we read the Bible, we see a major theme: "Watch the Middle East!" That war-torn area of the world has experienced more than its share of strife and suffering. Scripture tells us that the Middle East will provide the stage for the climactic events leading up to the return of Jesus Christ! Do today's newspaper reports and news magazines back up Bible prophecy? The answer may surprise you!

Have you ever been outside on a clear starry night, looked up at the sky, and wondered about the incredible God who created the universe? What a mind He must have—and what power! How great He must be—and how small we are in comparison! Yet this amazing God cares about us! When we face times of crisis and trauma—times of loss and trial—we cry out to God, and we want the "eyes of heaven" directed toward us. As great and lofty as God is, how can we get His attention?

We live in an incredibly stressful time. From business stress to relationship and family stress to financial stress, life can seem to be pulling and tugging us in fourteen different directions at once. And when you add to that the broader world we live in with news of violence, disease, terrorism, upheaval both in the ecology and the economy, the future can seem a very frightening place. But it does not have to be that way. There is an amazing purpose being worked out in your life and you need to know about it.
