"The chance that higher life forms might have emerged in this way (big bang) is comparable with the chance that 'a tornado sweeping through a junk yard might assemble a Boeing 747 from the materials therein'." Sir Fred Hoyle (English astronomer, Professor of Astronomy at Cambridge University), as quoted in "Hoyle on Evolution".

A Time For Focus
God’s word is the most powerful force on earth. It encourages, strengthens, corrects, and offers the way of salvation for God’s crowning creation - Mankind. But, it all begins by renewing our minds. At Focus Press, we desire all people everywhere to come a full understanding, of true Christianity. Unfortunately, there is much confusion when it comes to the world of religion. Focus Press was formed to publish materials based on the inspired Word of God. Resources that are designed to provide understanding and clarity when it comes to issues that are, quite frankly, sometimes very difficult to comprehend. That’s why we began publishing Think magazine in January of 2006. Why such an unusual title for a Christian magazine? Our ultimate goal is to provide reasonable answers for those who are seeking the truth. Think deals with difficult topics such as, stem cell research, intelligent design, cloning, abortion, homosexuality and other social issues that affect us as we live in an increasingly perplexed society. There are regular departments that will deal with practical ways to pass our faith to the next generation, how to incorporate our faith into daily living, issues that are unique to women, how to be good stewards of our blessings, and a host of other regular columns designed to strengthen those who are already committed to living for Christ. Please pray for the efforts of Focus Press. With God’s blessing and your support, the body of Christ will be strengthened, and those who are sincerely seeking real answers to complex questions will find peace – and truth. Our entire purpose is as simple as the apostle Paul’s admonition in the book of Romans. Renew Your Mind. It’s Time. Brad Harrub, Ph.D. | Jim Palmer | Joe Wells | Clay Young |

Darwin's "Origin of Species" -- 150 years of Monkey Business
From our friends at Focus Press:
November represents the 150th anniversary of Charles Darwin’s book Origin of Species. The November issue of Think is dedicated to whether man was created in the image of God or evolved from some ape-like creature. Once again we are making Powerpoint presentations available for preachers and teachers in an effort to combat the godless worldview of Darwinian evolution. In addition to the lesson we posted in February we have added a new one titled “Was Darwin Wrong?”
We encourage our readers to use these to help promote the truth! They are completely free of charge—no strings attached.
In addition, the new book Convicted: A Scientist Examines the Evidence for Christianity is “in house” and ready to ship out. This new comprehensive Christian evidence book is filled with great material to combat the errors of evolution. This is a comprehensive book on Christian evidences that provides the evidence for “why we believe what we believe”. The book was professionally laid-out, and was printed in full-color throughout. It contains multiple pictures, graphs, and tables to make it easy to understand. We have already sold more than 1,200 copies, and have only had it in-house for one week!
To order your copy go to www.focuspress.org, call 615.324.5870, or simply email our office manager at Saundra@focuspress.org.
As always, we thank you for allowing us to serve on the front line!
