New book - Sense and Sensuality

Title: Sense and Sensuality: Jesus Talks With Oscar Wilder on the Pursuit of Pleasure
Author: Ravi Zacharias
Call number: 138 ZAC









WHY versus WHY NOT?

Why did God place us in a world full of pleasures if we aren’t meant to pursue them all?

In an imaginative dialogue, Oscar Wilde asks Jesus Christ to respond to this question about critical lifestyle choices. Their talk vividly illustrates the arguments for both sensual pleasure-seeking and moral moderation.

Playwright, dramatist, poet, critic—Wilde openly defied the mores of Victorian society. His literary repartee fueled an “if it feels good, do it” humanistic philosophy that is still prevalent in the world today.

SO WHAT does JESUS SAY?

New book - New Birth or Rebirth?

Title: New Birth or Rebirth? Jesus Talks With Krishna
Author: Ravi Zacharias
Call number: 138 ZAC









Ultimate truth. The destiny of souls. The individual heart. Can Krishna and Jesus agree on anything?

This is what Subramaniam, a real-life Hindu of the twentieth century, wonders as he enters a fictitious conversation between two religious figures who have changed the lives of millions. As Jesus and Krishna respond to each other’s view of life and the afterlife, they speak words straight from the texts of Christianity and Hinduism and straight into the soul.

Subramaniam asks Jesus and Krishna hard questions about faith. Meanwhile, a fictional character, Richard, eavesdrops, asking himself the most important question of all:

Does it really matter what I believe?

New book - The Lamb and The Fuhrer

Title: The Lamb and The Fuhrer: Jesus Talks With Hitler
Author: Ravi Zacharias
Call number: 138 ZAC









ADOLF HITLER

Evil. Hatred. Pride. Destruction.

JESUS CHRIST
Peace. Love. Humility. Life.

WHAT COULD THEY POSSIBLY HAVE TO TALK ABOUT?

In this compelling dialogue, two men of contrasting values meet face-to-face. They address fundamental issues of life and death, the evil of violence in light of the value of human life, and the timeless search for unity in diversity. Dietrich Bonhoeffer, the German pastor Hitler ordered hanged, joins in and the heat intensifies when the three begin to weigh the value of relationships, love, and forgiveness.

You won't want to miss this imaginative discourse that will take you inside the mind of one of the most brutal tyrants of all time. . . and the very God who made him.
