Books (Christian)

David from Ohauiti

I am a local Ohauiti, Tauranga writer and have written several books which I am happy to provide in e-format (some in print) for free or make a donation if you prefer. The books are:

THE REMNANT - So many fulfilled prophecies are being recycled by Bible prophecy teachers and claimed to be about the end of the world. Knowing what’s already fulfilled will guide you in knowing who to trust regarding Bible prophecy. My e-book about fulfilled prophecy, challenges many theories, including Zionistic efforts to return Jews to Israel, third temple theology, a 7 year Great Tribulation period, British-Israelitism, a desolate Earth during the millennium, and earthquakes, famines, wars etc being concrete signs of the Second Coming. This is a challenging read and will appeal to those wanting to take a serious look at Bible prophecy.
E-version only (about 130 pages)

FAITH-LIFT - You Don't Have to See Miracles to Believe
Tragically, a whole generation is being led to believe this life is all there is.
If you favour knowledge over ignorance, or perhaps are confused or can’t understand why people from all sections of society, including world leaders and scientists, devote themselves wholeheartedly to Christ, this will be enlightening and perhaps faith-building.
If there's the slightest stirring within you for God, or admiration for Christ, or a desire for eternal happiness, but you need more faith, just read on. This is a journey through much of the reasoning that strengthens my faith and the faith of many. Just continue your search for truth, and this book will pleasantly surprise you.
Reader's comment
This is bold, clear, and authentic. You have not shied away from the tough truth that the modern secular world finds so difficult. ... [Y]ou have listened to your heart and speak to other hearts. ... There is great need for a 'Faith Lift'. You have been straight and honest. You are dealing with material that maybe only those with ears to hear can hear.

Print and E-versions available (about 80 pages)

COUNTDOWN TO FAITH - The Bible is too difficult. I don’t understand it. How is Jesus dying on a cross relevant anyway? Where’s the evidence for faith? What are the greatest possibilities for my future?
This book answers these questions and concerns in an easy to understand way while counting down some of the most remarkable fulfillments by Jesus Christ of the strangest prophecies ever.
10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 FAITH – Faith for you, and eternal life?

MADE FOR MAN - Enjoying Your Sabbath Blessings
"I keep the Ten Commandments. I don't kill, steal or hurt anyone. I'm a good person," you say.
Think again!
Saturday, the seventh day Sabbath, is the central holy day of the Bible. It was established at Creation and codified in the Ten Commandments. Sunday, however, has become the most important holy day of Christianity since the second century. The issue of Saturday versus Sunday Sabbath has been hotly debated for centuries. It's also the case that many Christians no longer regard either day to be uniquely holy, seeing all time as sacred. Here, a case for the traditional Sabbath of the Ten Commandments is presented with respect shown toward differing views in light of the complexity of the issue.
Regardless of the stance taken in this debate, what shines through is our physical and spiritual need to enjoy the blessings of God's Sabbath rest. Sabbath rest is a dear friend amidst our hectic lifestyles in a world nearing spiritual bankruptcy.
E and print versions (about 30 pages)

STRENGTHENED TO SERVE - Essays of Encouragement and Exhortation
The Bible provides good news of eternal life through Christ for all humankind and much to draw us toward the Lord Jesus Christ.
Jesus, however, also calls all who believe in Him to a holy life of love, obedience, sacrifice and service. Such a road is never easy. It presents many a challenge. Even the most holy men of the Bible struggled and sinned. Often times we also become weak, weary or discouraged.
The great news is the good news does not stop with the gospel of salvation through Christ. Christ did not save us and then leave us alone whilst He slept or went on a long journey. Through the Holy Spirit, He walks with us, talks with us and jealously guards His people as a bridegroom does his bride. He did not leave us comfortless, but sent us the Holy Spirit to guide us and to empower us for holiness and the inspiring work of the Great Commission.
My prayer is this book will comfort, encourage and strengthen you to serve. Be of good cheer. The Lion of the Tribe of Judah has overcome the world and is mightily with all those who continue to trust in Him.
