In these chilling true stories, Gorman Woodfin celebrates God's powerful intervention in terrifying circumstances and the heroic reactions of those who suffered the traumas. Beth faced a parent's worst nightmare when her son was murdered; John and Glenys were caught in the crossfire when a neighbor's husband shot her; Reesee was a vibrant preacher's daughter until she was raped at gunpoint -- yet each of these individuals not only survived but moved into amazing ministry as a result of God's healing power. A dramatic and inspiring read for everyone who knows that truth is stranger -- and more exciting -- than fiction!

This volume places in synoptic form parallel texts from Nag Hammadi and from the Bible. This will enable scholars of Coptic Gnosticism, as well as scholars concerned with early Christian biblical interpretation, to make the comparisons necessary to determine relationships and what dependence, if any, there may be between these two bodies of material. This volume should facilitate the discussion concerning the origin, antiquity, and relationship of Gnosticism to Christianity. The volume also contains an extensive bibliography of materials relevant to this topic. Finally, a Scripture index will make it possible for the reader to find quickly any desired passage.
