"Get ready to discover how planet Earth works - from mountains to islands - with amazing illustrations, cutaway views, magnified insets and detailed photographs"--Back cover.
This book covers Pastor Yutzy's thoughts regarding some theological issues from eternity past to eternity future; from the creation of the first heaven and earth (Genesis 1:1) to the new heaven and new earth (Revelation 21-22). He rejects evolution but does not agree with the young earth creationists. In eschatology, he is premillennial but does not accept the doctrine of imminence. Today, we do not know the day of his coming but, he believes, if we know what we are to look for, we will know the time when it arrives. Christ's coming will not be as a thief in the night to those who know what to look for regarding the rapture of the church. The last part of the book covers his perspective on God's special purpose for the church, Israel, and the Gentiles. He gives his views on abortion, tattoos, cremation, the lake of fire, Gehenna, outer darkness, heaven, the New Jerusalem, and other topics relevant for the church today.

For thousands of years, humans have probed and pondered over our planetary home. How was the Earth formed? How old is it? How did it become a living world? Today, because of our expanded knowledge and the wonders of technology, we know a lot more about Earth than our ancestors. We know that it is an evolving planet, undergoing never-ending changes, perhaps at a pace unequalled in its recent, or even remote, past. The Story of Planet Earth gives a detailed, yet interesting, account of a lot more aspects related to the creation of Earth Earths origin in light of the Big Bang explosion, arrival of water on its surface, formation of its atmosphere, evolution of life forms from unicellular organisms to giants like dinosaurs, changes from its core to crust and its current state in terms of unsettling global changes, a majority of which find their roots in our greed and thoughtlessness. The book goes beyond time, into the future, to see what may be in store for our forthcoming generations, if we dont care about this home of ours.
Living in the World By: Theodore Ihejieto Living in the World is a book of love and life, called circle of positive energy and energy of sunlight. The book is a book of Planet Earth, because the living planet gave sunlight energy to the author of living in the world. The author is a human being who did not like the way human beings were suffering in the world and thought that he needed to do something in order to improve the standard of living in the world. Author Theodore Ihejieto was born into a Christian family who believed in God and trusted God to protect them from evil and death. Death killed the author’s father, which made him stop trusting God. Death killed the immediate junior brother of the author and made him declare war against God. The author read many religious books and discovered that human beings did not know God, because human beings did not have the intention to know God. Ihejieto wants to know God and succeeds in knowing God because God showed Himself to him when he started questioning the integrity of God. Living in the World is a healing book for human beings to absorb and chase death away, because living in the world destroys the fear of God and the devil of God in human beings.
