Washington, DC) -May 2012 – In these complicated spiritual times every Christian needs a powerful and competent source of information to assist them in defending their biblical faith. Published by WND Books, Carl Gallups provides that source of information and inspiration for all Christians in defending and strengthening their faith in The Magic Man In The Sky: Effectively Defending the Christian Faith, releasing to retail May 15.

Is it possible to prove the existence of God? Pastor Gallups answers this question in The Magic Man In The Sky, challenging both believer and non-believer in the process to consider the consequences of either accepting or rejecting the truth he presents. Based on biblical theory,Gallups provides insights into the many unanswered questions of evolutionary theory, addressing these questions: > Why are we here? > Where are we going? > What is the meaning of life? > How is it possible that God exists-yet remains unseen? > Does scientific evidence exist that supports the supernatural claims of the Bible? > How can we be certain the Christian faith is the correct one? Finally there is an authoritative, well-researched and definitive defense of the Christian faith in one powerful and easy to read book.

Carl Gallups work affirmatively explores and answers the question that, yes, the existence of God can be proven, and that behind all creation there is an Intelligent Designer who created all that exists.

First of all God is not a magic man in the sky. We as believers do not embrace magic spell casting, occultism,or any of the like.Magic is a practice often influenced by ideas of religion, mysticism, occultism, science, and psychology.” The Bible has a few things to say about the practice of “magic” in any form:This book will harden peoples’ heart.

In this hour of all but universal darkness, a bright light of hope and confidence shines forth from the truths presented in this book. In a time when lives are marked by a growing hunger for spiritual realities, Carl Gallups reveals the truth that real science and Holy Scripture are inseparably linked.

Magic Man in the sky? Magic is the practice is of manipulation the supernatural often influenced by ideas of spell casting,  mysticism, enchanting, occultism, science, and psychology.” If you give the enemy an inch, he would take a mile.  Magic Man in the sky? God would not define himself as with magic which is something totally against what he is in scripture. The Bible has a few things to say about the practice of “magic” in any form:
Deutoronomy 18:10

 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch.Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord: and because of these abominations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee.

A mother and daughter accused of killing an elderly neighbor and stealing her coin collection were arrested Sunday, according to Metro Police arrest reports.

Lourie Rodriguez, 46, and her daughter, Amber Hall, 26, were arrested on suspicion of murder with a deadly weapon on a victim older than 65, robbery with a deadly weapon of an older person and burglary with use of a deadly weapon.

They also face counts of conspiracy to commit murder, conspiracy to commit robbery, burglary, obtaining or possession of a credit card without the cardholder’s permission, and conspiracy to commit burglary with use of a deadly weapon, according to Clark County Detention Center records.

The victim, 73-year-old Jean Greenburg, was found dead in her reclining chair Friday night when two friends stopped by to check on her, the police report said. Greenburg lived alone at the Pinewood Apartments, 3601 Cambridge St., the report said.

The friends discovered Greenburg covered in blood and unresponsive, according to the arrest report.

They said somebody had stolen part of Greenburg’s coin collection a month ago, a burglary that had been reported to police, the report said.

Detectives also interviewed Rodriguez, who said she and her daughter normally checked on Greenburg, the report states. Rodriguez reportedly told police she had last seen Greenburg Thursday evening.

On Saturday evening, police were alerted to activity on Greenburg’s bank account when someone tried to withdraw funds from an ATM at a Twain Avenue grocery store, the report said.

Police obtained surveillance video showing two women resembling Hall and Rodriguez using the ATM, the report said.

Authorities secured a search warrant for their residence on Swenson Street and found $2,530, which detectives believe came from pawning the victim’s property, in addition to bloody clothing, the report said.

In an outside trash bin, detectives found property belonging to Greenburg, items related to coin collecting, a knife and a broken piece of wood, the report said.

Rodriguez and Hall allegedly confessed to plotting the slaying of Greenburg so they could steal her coin collection, the arrest report said.

Hall told detectives she, her 3-month-old son and her mother visited Greenburg on Thursday evening with the intent to kill her, the report states. The pair wore two sets of clothing and brought a knife and large piece of wood hidden in a baby stroller, the report said.

The women attacked Greenburg as she sat in her recliner, repeatedly stabbing her with the knife and beating her in the head with the wood chunk, according to the arrest report.

“On Saturday morning, they went to a pawn shop together and sold the coins for approximately $2,000,” the report said.

Hall and Rodriguez were booked into the Clark County Detention Center, where they were being held without bail, according to jail records. Their first court appearance is scheduled for Tuesday morning
