What do you take away after listening to sermons, when you hear preachers and read commentaries on, and perspectives of, Biblical principles? Do you get a deeper understanding or do you think about it at all? This book shares what one layman has "learned" from sitting in pews, heard from evangelists such as Billy Graham and Dr. Charles Stanley and read in commentaries and books by John MacArthur, C. S. Lewis, Spurgeon, Bunyan, J. I. Packer and others. With no formal theological training, the author is presenting what he has assimilated and come to understand on his journey as a Christian, attempting to separate human tradition from Biblical teaching. This is more or less an impromptu Bible study covering a variety of topics. As with any Bible study, the reader will no doubt agree and disagree with various chapters and want to add his or her own "two cents worth", but hopefully all will find some kernel of value or at the least, want to look closer at a topic previously unexplored. In reading this book and forming opinions, the best example to follow is that of the Bereans, who: "searched the scriptures daily to see if those things were so" (Ac17:11).
In this exciting conclusion to the Det. Case trilogy, Homicide Detective Sgt. Lawrence Case is facing the worst dilemma of his career. Time is running out to stop a mysterious killer. To do so he finds himself between the biggest rock and the hardest place in his life. His two choices are no choice at all: one is unthinkable while the other goes against everything he believes in as a person and the oath he took as a cop. Only the most important thing in his life hangs in the balance.
