While teaching a group of elementary students, I was asked a suprising question; "How do you know that Christianity is true?" It's funny, I had never really thought about how to prove it to someone. And I realized that I needed to have a ready answer from then on. So I began studying. And now, two years later, I've decided to write a book about it, because there are too many people who don't know what they need to know. So get ready to cram your brain full of information that many brilliant scientists seem to have missed, or chose to ignore. If you have any questions, things you'd like me to add, or arguements of your own, feel free to comment. (Warning; I wrote this when I was 14 and have yet to revisit it and correct stuff, don't judge)

Why is the peace of the Middle East so crucial in world peace? How is it that the Promised Land is the land flowing with milk and honey? What are the implications of the Bible lands in relation to world peace in the future? Why did the crusades try to take the Holy land? What are the proofs of Biblical accounts? Why do modern day Christians travel to the Bible lands? What does the politics of Israel and her neighbours have to do with Biblical prophecy? Do the Biblical lands have any impact or on theology today? Through a tour from Jordan to south Israel and up to the Golan heights, this book shows pictures of the key areas linked to major events in the Bible, and how the geography of the landscape and the history are tightly linked not only to Bible accounts, but also to the Bible prophecies to come. With links to online resources, the author explains the significance not only of the physical areas, but also addresses mysteries that remain unresolved such as the location of the Ark of Covenant. Intended as a simple guide for readers interested in the Bible lands in the context of both Bible history and current day situations, this book explains every picture and location visited in this tour with Chin Lien Bible Seminary, Singapore.

Why do so many people on this planet believe in a divine being? Is it even sensible to believe in one? With increasing progression in human knowledge of the natural world around, there seems little reason to believe in a divine being. With this, the pressure increases on both the agnostic and Christian to abandon their search for the answer. Yet on the other front, the Christian also begins to face the rise of old enemies that once plagued Christian orthodoxy. Similar to its predecessor, this book and its compilation of themed articles addresses the issues in the logic, philosophy and thoughts of Christianity from a layperson point of view. Some of these articles serve to expand and clarify the points raised in its predecessor, and some on completely new topics. Yet unlike the predecessor, this book focuses more on the doctrine and basis of Orthodox Christian beliefs and how Christians can apply them to everyday life through articles that are once again, academic, reflective, and argumentative. Just like 'A Practical Guide to the Logic, Philosophy, and Thoughts of Christianity', this book is the result of a single individual's search for God. It promises to be challenging and thought provoking for the genuinely open-minded and interested. Even so, the articles are at best 'arm-chair theology' and are therefore meant to be easily understood by any interested agnostic and Christian with a slow yet provocative push into the basis of Christianity and her doctrines.

What has the field of psychology got to do with the Bible? Can it shed light on certain events in the Bible? Does it undermine the Bible and the teachings therein? Are there any secular psychology publications that can affirm Biblical events or teachings? Can psychology be used as an evangelistic tool? And has psychology been abused to justify unbiblical practices and concepts like demonology? As knowledge in the sciences grow, unbiblical interpretations flooded and will continue to flood the various disciplines. Psychology is a field that can study and affirm biblical teachings in areas where the other sciences cannot. To show this, the articles in the book leverage on modern day psychology understanding to illustrate the effects of the Fall and its effects on our understanding of God's Word. Topics include the "Psychology of Evil", introspection, and psychological understanding of languages, all to show how the Word of God, as recorded in the preserved texts of the Holy Scriptures, can be applied to our lives. Most importantly, the articles also aim to highlight that it is only with the Scriptures, can psychological findings make sense. The articles in the book expand on certain concepts and arguments previously mentioned in the previous books by the author: "A Practical Guide to the Logic, Philosophy, and Thoughts of Christianity", "Another Practical Guide to the Logic, Philosophy, and Thoughts of Christianity", as well as "A Guide to the Biblical Lands: Jordan and Israel".

Usually people object to the Catholic Faith based on Scriptural grounds. They claim the teachings of the Catholic Church are contrary to the clear teachings of the Bible, and these misrepresentations have led countless souls out of the Church. However, Scripture read in context fully supports Catholic teachings. "The Christianity of history is not Protestantism.... To be deep in history is to cease to be a Protestant." (John Henry Cardinal Newman, Catholic Convert) "I would not believe in the Gospel, had not the authority of the Catholic Church already moved me." (St. Augustine of Hippo) "If you undermine the Catholic Church, you undermine the Bible!" (Anonymous)

A random journal/blog/diary with poems and lyrics, many about NAMES - my name, your name, and other names. Also, a diary of journeys we go on in our thoughts, actions, deeds, and beliefs. The genre 'Random' fits this work perfectly. The idea for sharing comfort from one's name began on May 17th, 2018, with the confirmation that I have cancer and needed more surgery and perhaps on-going treatment. How advanced it was had to be determined by an MRI and X-ray... this was the start of this journey and how everything changed when I focussed on God instead of myself. Dedicated to Elsa whose encouragement has been a great source to inspire me in my writing and in particularly this journal-book for the journeys we each travel in our mission to please our Saviour, Jesus Christ. After 40 chapter/parts, I've pressed the 'complete' button and likely will begin another in 2019 - in the meantime I have another work here titled, 'Bible Verses, Images and Poems' which has 17 parts and I'm updating it with a Christmas Poem today. Bless you, all, and thanks for reading here.

UPDATE! Mind of a Christian Chapter 2 is out, which will revisit some topics here, as well as cover new thoughts: https://www.wattpad.com/story/267417608-mind-of-a-christian-chapter-2 -------------------------------- I'll say it now, I haven't been a Christian for a long time. Even though time isn't necessarily a deciding factor in spiritual growth, I still can't claim that I've grown to be spiritually mature. BUT, I keep learning new things about God and how great He is, and that's super exciting! I want to share the great things about our God to you, so that we may all know His glory. If you're a Christian reading this, I would like to share you things that may hopefully strengthen your walk in the Messiah. If you're not a Christian but you're still reading this, I hope that I may provide sound and reasonable arguments for the God of Israel. Like any human, I'm not going to be perfect in delivering what I share, so if I mess up somewhere, you can even rebuke me and tell me how I presented something wrong! Do you have a bad stigma against Christianity? Do you think that it's right or wrong of us to hate gays or certain people? Do you want to know more about God and how to become closer to Him? Do you want evidence on His existence itself? Share your thoughts! Let's come together and engage with your opinions - both good and bad, peaceful and controversial - here!
