Cover Story
God's Plan to End Evil and Suffering
Is God blind to evil and human suffering? Why doesn't He intervene
to put a stop to it? Is He powerless to do so, or does He even care?
Or could it be that it's we who are blind to what God is doing according to His own plan and timetable, and that humankind must learn
some crucial lessons before our Creator finally puts an end to evil?

Evolution or Creation: What's the Truth?
Never has the creation-evolution debate been more heated than it is now. And never has there been such misinformation and confusion on this crucial subject. Have you been confused about the facts? Take this short true-or-false quiz to assess your knowledge.
1. Fossil discoveries over the last century have proven Darwin’s theory of evolution to be true.
2. Most astronomers believe the universe has always existed, so there is no need for a Creator.
3. The fossil record conclusively shows simple life-forms evolving over time into more-complex creatures.
4. All animals and plants and relationships among them can easily be explained by the theory of evolution.
5. The Bible plainly teaches that the earth was created about 6,000 years ago, so it is impossible to reconcile the Bible and science.
6. The fossil record shows exactly what we should expect if evolution were true: many transitional links between species and the beginnings of features such as new limbs, bones and organs.
7. Our beliefs on evolution and God have no bearing on how we live and treat each other.
 The correct answer to all of the above questions is false.  If you missed some, don’t be surprised. After all, we are routinely led to believe that most or all of these are "facts" proven by science. The truth, however, is far different! You need to understand the truth about our origins, creation and the theory of evolution. We've prepared these two clear, easy-to-understand booklets—Life's Ultimate Question: Does God Exist? and Creation or Evolution: Does It Really Matter What You Believe?—to help you learn the truth. You'll discover many fascinating facts difficult to uncover anywhere else!
