40 Days

Encountering Jesus Between the Resurrection and Ascension.

While many have written about the Resurrection itself, few have delved deeply into the forty days Jesus spent on the Earth after his death-defying exit from the grave. The incomparable magnitude of that miracle tends to overshadow the great days that followed. But, ho, how fascinating are the lessons to be learned beyond that stone!

With a passionate believer’s heart and an investigator’s flair for finding rich truths in the often-overlooked details, noted author Alton Gansky examines here every recorded event that happened from the moment Christ left the tomb until his glorious ascension to heaven.

What the reader gains is a fresh excitement for the Resurrection story, a greater knowledge and contextual grasp of Scripture, and, best of all, a closer personal relationship with Jesus.

THE SECRETS GOD KEPT

Encountering the Unexpected God

Alton Gansky and John Van Diest

God does keep secrets. But He’s revealed more than you probably realize.

God’s ways are a mystery, even to Old Testament heroes like Abraham, David, and Isaiah. But some of the secrets they didn’t understand are truths God has now revealed to us. Sadly, we are often unaware of all that the Gospels and epistles tell us. By tapping into these insights, we can answer questions such as:

    * Can we really know God’s will?

    * Why does God allow hypocrites in the church?

    * Why don’t our neighbors or coworkers respond to our overtures about the gospel?

    * Will evil people ever receive justice?

    * Isn’t the Kingdom of God just another name for heaven?

John Van Diest and Alton Gansky explain why God keeps secrets and what the New Testament writers meant when they wrote about God’s “mysteries.” They also provide a fascinating tour through Jesus’ teachings about the Kingdom of Heaven and Paul’s letters, which reveal much about God’s unfolding plan for our life and this world. By uncovering these secrets, we discover the deeper meaning and purpose that God intends for our lives.

Don’t stay in the dark. Discover the treasures found in the secrets God has revealed.
