How Evil Works: Understanding And Overcoming The Destructive Forces That Are Transforming America
by David Kupelian
The author probes the ancient question of evil through a modern journalist's eye, demystifying complex, elusive, and intimidating subjects with fresh insights into the hidden mechanisms of seduction, corruption, and power politics. Diving into today's most electrifying news stories -- from terrorism and school shootings to high-profile sex scandals and political dysfunction -- Kupelian explores such profoundly troubling questions as:
- How does terrorism really work?
- Why are New Age religions becoming so popular?
- Why do so many celebrities who "have it all" -- talent, fame, good
looks, wealth, adoration -- end up self-destructing?
- Why are big lies more believable than little ones?
- Why are boys doing worse in school today than girls?
- Why do we treat mental, emotional, and spiritual problems, like anger
and depression, with drugs?
Here's the good news: Once we really understand "how evil works" -- not just in the disasters and mega-crimes that dominate the headlines, but in our own lives as well -- evil actually loses much of its power over us, and the way out becomes more clear. Thus, How Evil Works bears a powerful message of genuine hope.
Whatever Happened to Worship?
by A. W. Tozer
Decrying much of contemporary worship as entertainment, Tozer says, "When we are worshipping...if the love of God is in us and the Spirit of God is breathing praise within us, all the musical instruments in heaven are suddenly playing in full support." Originally preached as sermons at Avenue Road Alliance Church in Toronto, the chapters of Whatever Happened to Worship convey Tozer's attitude and thoughts on Christian worship.
If you'd like to suggest a book as "Recommended Reading", please speak with Joy Vander Vliet during our Coffee Cafe or shortly after church services.

Zakayo Alais - Our "Hope" Child
True Hope (our Worship Team) and a few other church members have adopted this young boy through World Vision for $35 a month.

You are updated annually on your sponsored child's progress and the benefits he or she is receiving through your sponsorship and you can exchange letters or even email the child via their local World Vision office.
