For him, the Bible was the only sufficient, firm foundation for his life. He wanted to obey God in all things and had given up a career to become an ordained minister. He loved to preach the Word and knew that one day he would stand before God, accountable for everything he preached. But there was one problem: how could he be certain that what he was preaching was true? Sara LaPointe never wanted this role, but she loved Stephen. So, through his encouragement and tutelage, she had become both an enthusiastic Evangelical and an effective pastor’s wife – at least in the eyes of the congregation. But would the gnawing guilt of a past mistake – a mistake she would never reveal to her husband – ever let her go? And then there was Walter. He, too, believed in Jesus. He, too, loved the Bible and vowed to do whatever God called him to do.

Mega churches everywhere proclaim this Jesus and Me theology, built around a simple application of John 3:16, belittling the need for membership in any religious community, the practice of any rituals, the reception of any sacraments, the submission to any leaders, or the adherence to any set of doctrines. Salvation is merely by faith alone in Jesus alone by grace alone. But is this biblically, theologically, and historically sound? This book argues, from the perspective of a biblical hermeneutic or interpretation of continuity, that salvation has always involved more than this simplistic expression of modern individualism.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eMarcus Grodi and his wife Marilyn were both cradle Protestants.

Most discovered and placed their faith in Jesus Christ in non-Catholic traditions of Christianity. They remain eternally grateful to the many faithful teachers, friends, and family who helped them know Christ and grow in the Christian faith. Yet in each case and in unique ways, the Holy Spirit opened their hearts to realize that much of what they had been taught about the Catholic Church was never true. They learned to listen to the voice of truth speaking through history, theology, philosophy, Sacred Tradition, Holy Scripture, and personal testimony. In time, their desire to follow Christ faithfully to remain faithful to the truth He taught and to the Church He established through His Apostles led them to consider the claims of the Catholic Church. In the end, they were all convinced that, whatever the cost, they must become Catholic. And so they did.

Who’s going to hell? Might hell be empty? Could I (or someone I love) really end up there? We all have a lot riding on those questions, but in order to get answers, we must get behind the questions. We need to address the mystery of sin—its causes, consequences, and cure. That’s precisely what best-selling Catholic author Dr. Scott Hahn does in this digitally re-mastered series.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eProduced on 6 CDs, you’ll listen and learn what the Scriptures say about how hell began; why it continues even after Christ‘s triumph; how even the high angel, Lucifer, could fall into sin and drag us down with him; how Adam and Eve “dis-graced” us through Original Sin; and how Jesus and Mary—the New Adam and the New Eve—can lead us infallibly to heaven.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA Battle You Can’t Miss\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn disc number one—Sex, Lies, and Sacraments— you’ll discover how hell has worked its way into many families and answer the question, “Is your family prepared to resist it?” Disc two—Why the Hell?—reveals the shocking things Scripture has to say about hell.

The third disc—Original Sin—explores the biblical book of Genesis to discover how things in this world got so messed up.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAlso in this series, Scott reveals what we know about the wicked angels, and explores how a good angel could go bad. Explaining why sin must be dealt with at its source, Dr. Hahn looks to Romans, Chapter 5 to answer who can do it. The final CD unpacks Revelation twelve to reveal that just as Satan took on the first Eve, so God created a second Eve to wipe out “that ancient serpent.” This is a battle you can’t afford to miss, because the fighting is mighty close to home!\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eScott Hahn’s masterful explication of the mystery of sin (and what you can do about it) is a must for all Catholics who desire to be able to grasp this essential concept and also to relate it to others before its too late!
