Today on Point of View, Kerby chats with president of Crossroads Bible College, Dr. Charles Ware. Crossroads Bible College is a biblically conservative evangelical institution dedicated to training Christian leaders to a reach multiethnic urban world for Christ. Dr. Ware tells us about his book One Race, One Blood.
In the second hour Dr. Pete Deison, pastor, teacher, and president of Park Cities Presbyterian Church Foundation joins us in-studio to tell us more about his book, Visits from Heaven: One Man’s Eye-Opening Encounter with Death, Grief, and Comfort from the Other Side.
Dr. Ware has authored, co-authored, and edited several books. Among these is One Race One Blood (previously published under the title Darwin’s Plantation: Evolution’s Racist Roots (Master Books, 2007). Dr. Ware co-authored this book with Answers in Genesis founder and President Ken Ham,
Dr. Ware serves on several boards including; The Association of Baptist for World Evangelism (ABWE), The Association for Biblical higher Education (ABHE), AnchorsAway and the board of counsel for The Biblical Counseling Coalition.
Dr. Ware and Sharon celebrated 42 years of marriage in 2015. They have six children, two daughter-in-laws, one son-in-law and three grandchildren.
The tragic legacy of Darwin’s controversial speculations on evolution has led to terrible consequences taken to the deadliest extremes. One Race One Blood reveals the origins of these horrors, as well as the proof revealed in Scripture that God created only one race.
You will discover:
Nazi Germany used evolutionary concepts to justify the extermination of "unfit" people groups such as Jews, Gypsies, and Slavs
The origins of people groups, the genetics of skin color, and what the Bible says about "interracial" marriage
Eye-opening discussion on racism and its roots in the hearts and minds of millions still today.
Within these compelling pages, Dr. A. Charles Ware, president of Crossroads Bible College, and Ken Ham, president of Answers in Genesis examine the historical roots of racism that have permeated evolutionary thought, and the Bible's response to this disturbing issue. This is a crucial and timely study that profoundly addresses the Christian worldview regarding "race" from a compassionate and uniquely compelling perspective.
Pete and Harriet Deison were enjoying a full life of being parents, grandparents, and partners in ministry when deep depression spiraled Harriet into a darkness that caused her to take her own life. Suddenly thrust into unimaginable grief, Pete, a Presbyterian minister, turned to his roots as a student and educator in an attempt to make sense of it all.
Visits from Heaven is the love story of a man and his wife of forty-three years, which quietly becomes the story of God’s love for his children. The narrative of strange coincidences, amazing answers to prayer, and dozens of dreams and visions by Pete and others affirms that there is a continued existence of loved ones that can be experienced here on earth.
Is heaven a place where real life continues, or is it all clouds, pearly gates, and long church services? Visits from Heaven answers those questions, giving readers a clearer picture of what life is like for a believer after he or she leaves earth. It’s also a wake-up call for those who secretly think heaven is a dry and boring place.
Deeply grounded in the Scriptures and in the classic works of writers such as C.S. Lewis, Sheldon Vanauken, John Claypool, Randy Alcorn, and N.T. Wright, Deison shares biblical truths about the reality of our continued existence and the nature of our heavenly home. Visits from Heaven gently leads grieving people on an effective and insightful journey through the grief and recovery process.
