Executive Summary Christianbook.com is the online home of Christian Book Distributors (CBD), a company formed long before the Internet even began to take shape. The company was started in 1978 by two brothers who were 19 and 14 years old at the time, out of their parents’ home in Lynn, Massachusetts. In 1981, one brother graduated college and the other graduated high school, while the business graduated out of “Mom and Dad’s home” into its first commercial facility in Peabody, Massachusetts. In 1984 the company built a 24,000-square-foot facility in the Centennial Industrial Park in Peabody. By 1996 CBD had completely outgrown the site and built a new facility across the street, where it remains today.
Philip Levine’s poem Gospel is about a man’s viewpoint on life while receiving bad information. Throughout the poem the speaker uses similes, metaphors, synechdoches, rhetorical questions, and personification to explain more to the readers.

However we have seen the extreme side to the claimed “Christian” community of gullible people.
Chapter 9 religion ad society book chapter 9, page 65, caught my attention for the reason it discusses the topic evangelism. This chapter deliberates how members at Grace Taiwanese have a mission by evangelizing individuals to come and hear the word of God. There is a quote on page 65 its says “Christians have a duty to proselytize as salvation is offered by God only those who accept Jesus Christ as their personal savior. Through evangelicals bring salvation to the world.” What Taiwanese church is trying to succeed is by evangelizing and converting individuals about the word of God.
Tortured for Christ by Richard Wurmbrand is a revolutionary book that tells of the horrors of man, but also the miraculous transforming love of Christ.

Introduction The preparations for Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount began thousands of years earlier, in the Garden of Eden; when God breathed life into Adam and Eve. God’s creation of perfection was defiled by their sinfulness; consequently, they were expelled from the Garden as punishment. Afterward, sin became so prevalent and decadent that God destroyed mankind with a flood; saving only Noah and his family. The Great Flood eliminated nearly the entire earth’s population; however, the sinful nature of man still existed and, as the population grew, so did the need for an ultimate sacrifice for sin.
This is a reflection on Larry Osbornes book, Sticky Church, I did read the entire book. I have enjoyed it and would recommend it. Summary Many churches think they are doing well with all their new visitors and slight rise in attendance.

First, they are to equip other Christians for service, and, second, they are to build up the body of Christ, to add to its numbers, to integrate its members into a harmonious community, and to promote cooperation among them.
