From Back Cover The Western Church stands at a crossroads, it is dying for lack of zeal and love for Jesus. Materialism and lust for "things" are choking the life out of Western Christianity. Pastors and congregants alike are drowning in Credit Card debt because they covet things they cannot afford. Other religions are spreading at a far greater rate than Christianity. The blame for this lies at the feet of the all-too-comfortable Christians, who profess to believe in Jesus, but deny Him by their silence and passivity. People become what their leaders are. Church leaders must be weaned from their obsession with offerings to keep their personal fiefdoms afloat. Churchgoers must get involved in spreading the gospel in word and deed and go out into the world, because the world is not going to come into the Church. The Church needs to reformat its hard disk and return to 1st-Century basics like faith and belief in a miracle working God. Faith in the name of Jesus still brings miracles, it is the Church that prevents them because it long ago began teaching that the age of miracles was over. Effective faith only results from absolute conviction, but true belief in Jesus, the supernatural, and the miraculous, has taken flight from the Church. Jesus said repeatedly, "According to your faith let it be to you" (Matthew 9:29). The Church must repent for its lack of belief in the power of God Almighty.

All My Tears is the astounding story of an unwanted, abused child whom God adopted and anointed, and is using for His glory. Often verging on the unbelievable; the author in his youth suffered physical and sexual abuse. In adult life he survived economic national meltdown; ultra high-speed car crashes; boat capsizes; several "incurable" diseases; and a head-first dive into a concrete post in a horse riding accident that broke his cheekbones and left him with headaches from a broken neck that was only found during a spinal operation 37 years later. It is the story of a man's love for God, and of God's obvious love for the man; the two continue to walk and work together five decades after their first encounter. And miracles keep happening.

Here is an accurate account of the events that led up to, and took place during, Israel's 50-day-war against Hamas and its rocket and mortar fire into Israeli population centers from the Gaza Strip. Israel's official name for the war was Operation Protective Edge, and it was launched against Hamas in order to protect Israeli communities on the southern edge of Israel, near, or on, the border with Gaza. It is an actual, factual account of what took place, when it took place, and why it took place. It shows another perspective-a proper perspective-differing to what was presented on television screens around the world; it gives a different narrative to that told by the Hamas-intimidated journalists who covered the the third round of this ongoing conflict. The author was on the Israel side of the border fence, unconstrained by Hamas threats not to present the true picture. The author has covered the Israeli-Arab conflict for more than three decades and has produced several international best selling books detailing the subject.

Israel is being isolated by the international community, most especially at the United Nations. A myriad of non-governmental organizations organize anti-Israel demonstrations and worldwide boycotts of Israeli products and academia. Hundreds of cities and universities across the Western world delegitimize Israel by involving themselves in the false and malicious "Israel Apartheid Week." Many nations are suffering a variety of 'natural' catastrophes and calamitous financial meltdowns. There is a direct correlation between the storms and distresses and the wild confusion on our planet and the treatment Israel is receiving from the nations. Israel is God's "special treasure" (e.g. Exodus 19:5) and those touching Israel touch the "apple of His eye" (Zechariah 2:8). A confrontation between the nations and the God of the Bible is looming - the Lord's patience is wearing thin. An accepted premise in Evangelical Christian circles is that the nation of Israel is a biblical clock. Today the hands of that clock are approaching midnight, the hour when God's fury will be unleashed. Israel will suffer chastisement from the Lord in the ultimate wilderness where He is now taking her. Israel will be judged for her rebellious, adulterous, and perverted behavior - past and present. Only those who hold fast to the Lord by faith will survive. The worst wars in the Bible are yet to come and they all center around Israel. The depictions of the future wars point toward weapons of mass destruction being used and there being incalculable numbers of casualties among the nations. Israel will not escape unscathed; however, Israel is as eternal as day and night (Jeremiah 31:35-36), not so the nations. It is time to flee for refuge - under the "shadow" of the "wings" of "the Holy One of Israel" (Psalm 57:1).

Denne boka er annerledes enn de bøkene som Ramon Bennett pleier å skrive. Den handler om å korrigere forskjellige feil som er blitt gjort i vanlig kristen undervisning, som skjedde enten på grunn av tradisjoner eller feil som er gjort av oversetterne, eller begge deler.Bennett er ikke redd for å utfordre noen av de tradisjonelle kristne oppfatningene. Han sier selv at dette kan gi problemer med fordøyelsen for dem som er vant til å drikke melk istedenfor å spise fast føde. «For skjønt dere etter denne tiden burde være lærere, trenger dere igjen at noen lærer dere de første grunnleggende ting i Guds ord. Dere er blitt slike som trenger til melk, ikke fast føde.» (Hebreerne 5,12.) Bennett serverer generøse porsjoner med fast føde for dem som kan fordøye det.En amerikaner som har lest Bennetts bøker, skrev til ham nylig og sa:«Jeg har lest alle bøkene dine. Hvis du skrev en telefonkatalog, ville jeg lese den. Du er den beste kristne forfatteren som finnes i verden akkurat nå.»Dermed bør du forberede deg på en fest i ordet og finne ut hvorfor Bennett ble kalt for «den beste kristne forfatteren som finnes i verden akkurat nå».
