Christianity 101 is a book that provides foundational knowledge about the Christian faith. When learning any new subject, there is a learning curve that can sometimes feel like you are in a maze. Questions arise like, What does that term mean? How does that subject relate to the others, and where do I start in this learning process? Christianity 101 provides a starting place that provides knowledge about terminology and how to understand the foundational teachings of faith in Jesus Christ. If you are new or someone seeking to know more about the Christian faith in general, then this book will be a good start. It will provide you an organized approach to the key elements of the faith and how it all works together, moving you out of the maze and onto a path that is much less confusing to travel on.

Introduction to Bible Doctrine was written as a resource to meet the prerequisite requirements of the author’s Textbook on Dispensational Theology: A Textbook on Eschatology in the Twenty-First Century. Supporting Christian foundational truths, the author presents ten traditional doctrines, explaining their context and meaning to the body of Christ—worldwide. This work is equivalent to a 100 or 200 level college course in Introduction to Biblical Doctrine or Theology, making it useful for local New Testament Churches to use in their adult educational endeavors. Individual Christians will also find this book helpful in summarizing scriptural truths to support Christian faith and practice. The book is organized around the doctrine of God, Christ, The Holy Spirit, The Scriptures, Humanity, Angels, Salvation, The Church, Heaven and Hell (Good and Evil), and Eschatology.

The subject of Eschatology has been studied and written about for centuries. Various viewpoints based on differing hermeneutical perspectives have driven this subject in many directions, causing confusion as to how we should view end-times from a Biblical perspective. Dispensational Theology: A Textbook on Eschatology in the Twenty-first Century, is informative, instructional, and systematic in its approach to eschatology, teaching from a dispensational perspective. This textbook, the first of its kind, has been developed from a college syllabus on premillennialism and provides a structured approach to a dispensational theology. Dispensational Theology is designed for those majoring in Bible or Theology, who have already taken course work in New and Old Testament survey and completed one year of Bible Doctrine. This book is suitable for implementation into any College or Seminary program at a 300 or 400 level in an undergraduate program, or a 600 level in a Seminary program. If the minimum recommended course requirements for students have been met, this book could also be useful in Church or Mission Bible Institute programs, while providing another resource for any pastor or educator’s library. INTERNAL STRUCTURE This textbook provides a background and foundational structure for establishing a two-semester course while providing a path for discussions covering over two sections. The following topics will be the focus of discussions over fifteen chapters. Section One: Premillennialism: Defining the Terms; The History and Characteristics of Amillennialism; The History and Characteristics of Postmillennialism; The History and Characteristics of Premillennialism; Understanding the Kingdom of God; The Hermeneutics of Prophecy; Dispensations; Biblical Evidence for Premillennialism, and Evidence for Premillennialism in the New Testament Gospels. Section Two: The Distinction

“How to Understand and Live your Faith” is written with the “body of Christ” (God’s people) in mind, with an understanding of the diversity within the “body” and the spiritual conflicts that face it everyday. From a busy world comes a great deal of disinformation toward the people of God, which continually generates distractions, producing a lot of noise. Thus, the need to focus on the basic essentials, which aids the “body” along their spiritual journey. Within this book, the author will discuss five foundational concepts as reflected in each of the first five chapter titles, then through their summarization provide a biblical philosophy one can live by, as expressed in chapter six. While navigating this information age, there is a need to filter all the noise, providing discernment between truth and a lie, allowing for stability to the “body” as it pursues God’s goals for His glory and Kingdom.

The Christian Faith: A Quick Guide to Understanding Its Inter-Workings is just that: a quick and concise explanation to what the Christian faith is all about and how it all works. The Christian faith is a life lived, not a religion practiced. Therefore, there are many aspects to the Christian faith requiring some knowledge to learn along the spiritual journey. This book is designed to help those that are looking to know more about the Christian faith, or those that would like to teach a class or hold a small group discussion on Christianity 101. This book may also be helpful to those that may simply like to know more about their faith in general, but may have never been discipled or trained for a better understanding of their faith. If these categories fit you, then this is a good resource to meet your goals.
