We live in an age of skepticism. Our society places such faith in empirical reason, historical progress, and heartfelt emotion that it’s easy to wonder: Why should anyone believe in Christianity? What role can faith and religion play in our modern lives? In this thoughtful and inspiring new book, pastor and New York Times bestselling author Timothy Keller invites skeptics to consider that Christianity is more relevant now than ever. As human beings, we cannot live without meaning, satisfaction, freedom, identity, justice, and hope. Christianity provides us with unsurpassed resources to meet these needs. Written for both the ardent believer and the skeptic, Making Sense of God shines a light on the profound value and importance of Christianity in our lives.

People in our society are constantly searching for the answers to two questions. They want to know who God is and what He is doing in the world today. The book of Romans contains a wealth of information about who God is and what He is like. From this we can learn about what He is doing and how His people play an important role in His wonderful plan. In WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOD DOING? Dr. Dino Pedrone goes through each chapter and verse of the Apostle Paul's letter to the church at Rome and brings to light many practical applications for our own lives and the world we live in now. WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOD DOING? is a book that can assist any believer in finding out what the Lord's plan is for this world and how he or she fits into it. The truths explored in these pages can give you guidance that leads to a more fulfilled Christian life. Dr. Dino Pedrone has served as senior pastor of New Testament Baptist Church in the Miami-Ft. Lauderdale area since 1995. A veteran of more than 40 years of ministry and a sought-after speaker around the world, he oversees a church with three locations and is president of two Christian schools. He also is president of Davis College in Binghamton, New York, the Florida Association of Christian Colleges and Schools, and the International Association of Christian Colleges and Schools. He has written numerous books and contributed to dozens of magazines and other publications. His insightful Bible teaching is heard every weekday on the radio in south Florida. He and his wife Bobbi have four grown children and three grandchildren.

When He came to earth, Jesus Christ was rejected in every quarter in which He stepped. The Creator was rejected by His own creation. “He came to His own and His own received Him not,” said John. For this reason, Jesus Christ had “no where to lay His head.” There was one exception, however. A little village just outside of Jerusalem named Bethany. Bethany was the only place on earth where Jesus was completely received. God’s Favorite Place on Earth is a retelling of Jesus’ many visits to Bethany and a relaying of the message it holds for us today. Frank Viola presents a beautifully crafted narrative from the viewpoint of Lazarus, one of the people who lived in Bethany with his two sisters. This incomparable story not only brings the Gospel narratives to life, but it addresses the struggle against doubt, discouragement, fear, guilt, rejection, and spiritual apathy that challenges countless Christians today. In profoundly moving prose, God’s Favorite Place on Earth will captivate your heart with its beauty, charm, and depth. In this book you will discover how to live as a “Bethany” in our world today, being set free to love and follow Jesus like never before.
