Whether you're preparing a sermon, need an illustration for a children's story, or just enjoy interesting trivia, this volume is sure to be a wonderful resource in your home or office. Captivate and entertain your family and friends with these amazing facts-then lead them to a kernel of God's truth that the Holy Spirit can cultivate! Pastor Doug says, "We are all curious creatures attracted to the extraordinary. I should know; I'm one of them! As a kid, I loved leafing through encyclopedias to learn new and interesting things about our world. Even now, anything out of the ordinary has the potential to capture my attention and stimulate my thinking. Amazing facts are the spice of life! So it's no surprise that Jesus often used people's natural inquisitiveness as a tool for teaching them, whether through parables about nature or by recalling amazing historical events. This same idea was the basis for Amazing Facts' first radio program, and it's been a staple of my sermons, articles, and Bible Answers Live radio program for nearly forty years. In this second volume, I've collected some of my favorite illustrations-old and new-not only to pique your curiosity and entertain you, but also as a resource for exploring Bible truth. I hope this book can be used as a reliable and enjoyable tool for teachers, pastors, and lay evangelists to illustrate the principles of God's Word with fascinating, not-so-typical facts. Consider these facts a savory appetizer to stimulate a deeper hunger for the God who makes infinite wonders.".…

Paperback. Condition: Good. The world's foremost mentalist demonstrates how to condition mind and body in order to accomplish many of the extraordinary mental feats that Kreskin accomplishes. The Amazing Kreskin is a scientist of the mind, relying on natural and scientific means to perform effects that have baffled millions around the world. Natural laws govern the working of the mind, he says. Those who do not understand the laws usually label mental phenomena as supernatural or extrasensory. In fact, few of us have tapped more than a fraction of our mental potential. In this book, he reveals how readers can use their latent mental abilities to enhance the ordinary senses to accomplish effects that resemble telepathy and clairvoyance. Kreskin insists that there is nothing supernatural about any of these effects, and he redefines ESP as extremely sensitive perception to remove all connotation of the other world from this completely natural ability. Kreskin explains how to heighten awareness, increase powers of concentration, discover unknown strengths, tap the power of the unconscious, employ the power of illusion, utilize the power of suggestion, control attitudes and behavior, use silent communication, and predict with educated guesses. He also offers tips on how to hear whispers in a crowded room; predict news stories weeks in advance; read thoughts in the minds of complete strangers; influence others' attitudes and actions; produce hypnotic effects without hypnosis; become a human lie detector; and locate lost objects. Readers will be amazed and amused by what Kreskin can teach them about their own potential.…

Paperback. Condition: Fair. America needed the oil. In the aftermath of the Arab oil embargo of 1973-74, during which Americans waited hours in line to buy rationed gasoline, the world's largest construction companies rushed north to build the 900-mile, $8 billion Trans-Alaska Pipeline. National security was at stake. Many of the 70,000 men and women who worked on the pipeline saw it as a way to find a new life, or to escape an old one. The three-year boom was unlike any other, surpassing even the Gold Rush for social and economic upheaval that touched nearly every Alaskan in some way. With an avalance of oil money came trouble -- drugs, prostitution, gambling, divorce, extortion, and violent crime. The cost of living soared. The real-estate and rental market went wild as tens of thousands came seeking fat pipeline paychecks for seven 12s - working seven days a week, twelve hours a day. Thirty-five years later, award-winning journalist Dermot Cole of the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner, recalls the best of the pipeline stories with humor, authenticity, and drama.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. "Beginning at Moses and all the Prophets, He expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself" (Luke 24:27). It is a common misconception that Jesus only appears in the New Testament. Yet Pastor Doug Batchelor, president of Amazing Facts, reveals that Jesus actually appears many times in the Old Testament-sometimes in person, yes, but most often in types and shadows as seen in the amazing stories and lives of Old Testament characters. Some of these types of Christ, these shadows of light, are obvious, such as when Abraham placed the wood on the back of his beloved son Isaac, who then carried it up the hill to the place of his own willing sacrifice. Or when the prophet Elisha, like Jesus, performed a miracle multiplying bread to feed his disciples, even providing leftovers. But sometimes, finding the shadows of Jesus in the Word of God requires a more careful examination. Jesus said that the Scriptures "testify of Me" (John 5:39). With a little help, you can also discover the golden thread of a Savior woven through the entire Bible tapestry. Shadows of Light is one of the most enriching spiritual journeys you'll ever experience, a Bible study that will increase your confidence in the Book of books and grow your faith with every chapter.…
