| A special message from Doug Batchelor

I'm sure you have heard about The Da Vinci Code book that has sold about 40 million copies worldwide and created quite a stir. The central premise in this insidious book is an assault on the purity and divinity of Jesus as well as the dependability of Scripture. The author, Dan Brown, using twisted history, urges that Christ was married to Mary Magdalene and fathered a child. In short, he's convincing susceptible people that the New Testament is a fabrication that can't be trusted, and making millions while doing it.
Now some of the most powerful and talented names in Hollywood have converted the phenomenal bestselling book into an epic multimillion dollar film production. This Da Vinci Code movie, to be released May 19, has all the earmarks of a record-breaking blockbuster. So can you imagine the deceptive impact when Hollywood puts out their version, with breathtaking scenery, nonstop action, special effects, and seductive music? I shudder to think of the consequences! Millions will surely be persuaded to doubt Jesus and God's Word.
That's why Amazing Facts and friends like you can't afford to just sit complacently on the sidelines and watch this blatant smear on Jesus' integrity—so we're publishing a book that's the perfect response to The Da Vinci Code in a way that will not just give people the real story about Mary Magdalene and Jesus, but present to them the gospel and three angels' messages.
Now I know why I spent several years writing At Jesus' Feet, a book that sets the record straight regarding Mary's pure relationship with Jesus, with ironclad scriptural support. We've taken this heartwarming 2001 best seller and are re-issuing it in a beautiful new edition, with a new title and a dynamic, relevant cover. This is the perfect means to capitalize on Mary Magdalene's popularity as a result of The Da Vinci Code book and movie, and combat the errors they put forth.
It's called The Truth About Mary Magdalene: The Woman at Jesus' Feet, and it will be the perfect witnessing tool for you to use and give away to counteract the insidious influence of The Da Vinci Code deception.
Obviously, the timing for this opportunity is crucial. During and for sometime after the release of The Da Vinci Code movie, there will be a blizzard of media attention such as The Passion of the Christ received a two years ago. Every one will be talking about it, debating it, and every one will have questions.
The Truth About Mary Magdalene will give them the answers. But we can't do this alone. We can print the books, but we need faithful people like you to put The Truth into people's hands.
To go to theaters showing the film and hand out The Truth to people as they exit. Canvass communities with The Truth Visit your local Christian bookstores and tell them where to order these powerful books. Or simply share The Truth with your friends and neighbors. (If you have not read it yourself, you're missing a real blessing!)
The true story of Mary Magdalene is a beautiful microcosm of the entire conversion process, tracing the salvation experience from sorrow to liberation and praise. If you change and diminish Mary's role in the New Testament, then you undermine all that Christ accomplished through her. In addition, this engaging book gently introduces other misunderstood biblical doctrines such as the Sabbath truth and the state of the dead. We've also included an invitation to a free Bible study in the back of the book!
So please join with me and my Amazing Facts team in winning this battle. We're offering incredible discounts on the book so you can share them with as many people as possible. I hope and pray you'll take advantage of this phenomenal witnessing opportunity.
It's a crucial time in the world right now, and revealing the truth is so very important. We counteracted error and popular culture with the Passion of Love, and we can do the same with The Truth About Mary Magdalene. But we need to act now.

| New Twist on Judas in Ancient Text
Tuesday, April 11 @ 08:38:58 CDT
by youthfaith |
April 10, 2006 — History's great betrayer Judas Iscariot was actually a loyal disciple who simply followed Jesus's orders, according to a manuscript which has resurfaced after nearly 1,700 years.
Made in 300 A.D. in Coptic script on 13 sheets of papyrus, both front and back, the document is believed to be a translation of the original Gospel of Judas, written in Greek the century before.
Presented on Thursday by the National Geographic Society at a news conference in Washington, D.C., the Gospel of Judas was discovered in the Egyptian desert near Beni Masar in the 1970s.

No one can say exactly what it looks like when a planet takes ill, but it probably looks a lot like Earth.
Never mind what you've heard about global warming as a slow-motion emergency that would take decades to play out. Suddenly and unexpectedly, the crisis is upon us.
From heat waves to storms to floods to fires to massive glacial melts, the global climate seems to be crashing around us.
The problem -- as scientists suspected but few others appreciated -- is that global climate systems are booby-trapped with tipping points and feedback loops, thresholds past which the slow creep of environmental decay gives way to sudden and self-perpetuating collapse. That's just what's happening now.

| Four Sons
Friday, March 10 @ 22:34:28 CST
by youthfaith |
There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to judge things too quickly. So he sent them each on a quest, in turn, to go and look at a pear tree that was a great distance away.
The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in summer, and the youngest son in the fall.
When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to describe what they had seen. The first son said that the tree was ugly, bent, and twisted. The second son said no it was covered with green buds and full of promise. The third son disagreed; he said it was laden with blossoms that smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful, it was the most graceful thing he had ever seen. The last son disagreed with all of them; he said it was ripe and drooping with fruit, full of life and fulfillment.
The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, because they had each seen but only one season in the tree's life. He told them that you cannot judge a tree, or a person, by only one season, and that the essence of who they are and the pleasure, joy, and love that come from that life can only be measured at the end, when all the seasons are up.
If you give up when it's winter, you will miss the promise of your spring, the beauty of your summer, the fulfillment of your fall.
To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven ~ Ecclesiastes 3:1 (NKJV)
