Is heaven a place, somewhere we go? Is it a future goal, attainable only after this life ends?

Pastor and educator Dr. Terrell Carter looks at this issue with a pastor’s heart and a scholars precision, looking at what the Bible teaches us and how this might relate to how we live, act, and worship today. In the process, he introduces readers to such theological terms as Kingdom of Heaven and Kingdom of God. Why a kingdom? Read this book to find out.

In each chapter of this book you’ll learn something new about how the Bible speaks about heaven and the afterlife. You’ll read the parables of Jesus on this topic with a new vision. You’ll find things in the book of Revelation that you might have been missing. And you’ll find all this in an easy to read style.

This book is a good, quick read for those who are in hurry for an introduction, and it provides a sound basis for a short study on heaven, the afterlife, and life on earth in the meantime for a small study group.

When Christians approach studying the book of Daniel, they most commonly think about beasts and complex prophecies. But what is the value of the stories from the first half of the book?

Dr. Terrell Carter takes a look at these stories and what they tell us about God and ourselves, about living in horrible situations, and responding to unimagined pressure and hardship. How does one maintain a strong relationship with God while living in a land and in a society where one''s values are not the norm?

Daniel and his friends are confronted with such circumstances in these stories from the early chapters. Certainly the stories are examples both of moral and ethical decision making and of God''s miraculous activities, but they are also stories that give us an understanding of God. When and why does God intervene? What does this mean about God''s activity-and ours - on this troubled planet?

You''ll find in this book that the stories so commonly told in Sunday School are not just a matter of wonder, but are dealing with the basic questions of human life and of God''s sovereignty, of our duty and God''s action.

This book is suitable for Bible study groups as well as for individual reading.

Black and Brown Christians in America often live in a world that is separated from that of White Christians, with White Christians seemingly unaware of their concerns. Can these groups function as effective parts of the Body of Christ?

In I Have to Live with Them? Dr. Terrell Carter works to bridge the gap in our understanding and thus help to find the way for us to work together. Is the church functioning as a positive force in society? Shouldn''t we be talking more about the gospel and less about race? What can we do when we find that, rather than a solution, we ourselves are part of the problem? Is there accountability for the damage done historically?

In this very short treatment, you''ll find some answers to these questions and some pointers toward ways of facing these issues squarely and finding positive ways forward.
