I Never Thought I’d See the Day! David Jeremiah Hardcover, 352 pp., $24.99 FaithWords (October 4, 2011)
Is Western civilization in an accelerating decline? Will it eventually bring us to the end of cultured civilization as we now know it? “Yes,” says David Jeremiah, and in this book he details numerous signs of this cultural decay including: America held hostage by Iran, marriage becoming obsolete, America turning its back on Israel, and atheist attack on religion. Can this downward spiral be reversed? Yes, but only if people return to God in our dedication to genuine worship, in helping others, in our giving, and in prayer.
Reading the Gospels without knowing the personality of Jesus is like watching television with the sound turned off. The result is a dry, two dimensional person doing strange, undecipherable things. John Eldredge removes the religious varnish to help readers discover stunning new insights into the humanity of Jesus. He was definitely not the Jesus of the stained glass. In the author’s winsome, narrative approach, he breaks Jesus out of the typical stereotypes, just as he set masculinity free in his book, Wild at Heart.

From Virginia Tech’s devastated campus, to shell-shocked Mumbai, India, he uncovers faith and hope alive in the hearts of those you may least expect. Yancey also shares messages he delivered at speaking engagements, such as a conference on ministry to women in prostitution, or at Oxford University for the C.S. Lewis Foundation. Each of the stories Yancey shares offers firsthand evidence that faith does matter in real life, even when that belief is sorely tested.
