NEW eBook: Jesus Calls Us To A Life Of Good Works [Abbott ePublishing]

Abbott ePublishing is proud to announce the first-time publication of Jesus Calls Us To A Life Of Good Works, by Stephen Abbott, written for The Jesus Followers.

Joining our growing line-up of original religion-related eBook publications, this sure-to-be influential eBook goes back to the source of the Christian Faith, Jesus, and seeks to explore what he actually said about Good Works - as opposed to what men since then have preached and taught about it.

"Jesus Calls Us To A Life Of Good Works" dares to focus on Jesus' own revolutionary and challenging words, which actually call us to a rich, joyful life of Good Works, which serve others, show God's love to the world, and are the basis for God's judgment of us in relation to our eternal lives.

This eBook will challenge the traditional understanding of how "Good Works" is taught from the world's Christian pulpits, urging us to take Jesus' words as seriously as he calls us to take them: as words that will not pass away.

Excerpts from the book:

"These teachings of his must never be diminished, belittled, or explained away, because they hold the power of our salvation from sin within them. But Jesus didn't just teach, or give commands. He gave us an example that he said we could follow. Jesus lived, taught and died as a pure moral example, so that we would follow him."

"Jesus challenges us to be better than we are, not remain exactly as we were before we met him. The act of following Jesus is meant to transform us into human beings who more closely resemble this God-chosen pattern for our lives. We are to be BORN AGAIN in service and obedience to God, with the example of God's chosen exemplar always before our eyes. (John 3:3)"

Did #Christ Return To Earth In the 1990s as a Chinese Woman?

An Obscure Chinese Religion Believes IT'S TRUE! 
The Chinese-based religion "Eastern Lightning" teaches that in the 1990s, Jesus Christ  returned to Earth - as a Chinese woman in her 30s named Yang Xiangbin (photo on the left - the only image known to exist.)

This controversial "cult" has been vigorously persecuted by the Communist Chinese government, which labeled it "subversive," and Christian missionaries in China and throughout Asia have also labeled it as "dangerous," not just for its aggressive tactics and alleged criminal behavior, but because its teachings vary from Christian "orthodox" teachings.

For example, Lightning from the East (or "Eastern Lightning," also known as "The Church of the Almighty God") believes that in the Old Testament, God was "Jehovah," while in the New Testament, this same God was known as Jesus. But in this age, Yang Xiangbin has become the third incarnation of God, the "Almighty God."

We all know about Christianity, Judaism, Islam and even Buddhism. But those aren't the only religions in the world, by far. There are many others that have captured the imagination and devotion of many across the globe. some that are small, secretive and even mysterious.

"Secret Religions and Obscure Faiths" is a fascinating look at just a few of those strange, obscure and even secretive religions that our editor has come across in the past few decades. You might be amazed at the diversity and colorful nature of some of these incredibly obscure religions, and you might also be inspired to seek out some "secret religions" in your own neighborhood.

You will ALSO read about:

• A Japanese "New Religion" that teaches its followers that "Life is Art" and celebrates life with an annual fireworks show that draws thousands of onlookers.
• Three modern "Mystery Religions" that take their cues from the Ancients.
• The Taiwanese man who was so upset with US Pres. Jimmy Carter making "belligerent" and "warlike" comments that he asked Heaven if he could start a new, peace-promoting religion (hint: they said Yes!) 
• The religion that wants to bring back the Old Gods and Goddesses of the Ancient World - but with new names.
• The humble German religious leader who spent a lifetime in jail but didn't want his followers to glorify him.
• The faith that reveres a cup they believe to be the Holy Grail

And MORE!

Did Jimmy Carter REALLY Inspire a Religion??

It's TRUE!!

The Founder of a Taiwan-based religion was inspired, in part, by U.S. President Jimmy Carter to found his new faith, The T'ienti Teachings.

After a rare warlike statement by Carter during the outbreak of the Soviet's invasion of Afghanistan - threatening to defend Persian Gulf oil fields with nuclear weapons, if necessary - Lee Yü -chieh, then 80 years old, prayed night and day, pleading for God to avert this supposed immanent calamity. On Dec 21, 1980, he received a revelation and permission for the “reappearance” of the T'ienti Teachings. His faith focused on the prevention of nuclear war and the reunification of Taiwan and the Chinese Mainland.
