<p>&#8220;In Christ Alone&#8221;<br />
Words and Music by Keith Getty &amp; Stuart Townend<br />
Copyright © 2001 Kingsway Thankyou Music</p>
<p>In Christ alone my hope is found;<br />
He is my light, my strength, my song;<br />
This cornerstone, this solid ground,<br />
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm.<br />
What heights of love, what depths of peace,<br />
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease!<br />
My comforter, my all in all—<br />
Here in the love of Christ I stand.</p>
<p>In Christ alone, Who took on flesh,<br />
Fullness of God in helpless babe!<br />
This gift of love and righteousness,<br />
Scorned by the ones He came to save.<br />
Till on that cross as Jesus died,<br />
The wrath of God was satisfied;<br />
For ev&#8217;ry sin on Him was laid—<br />
Here in the death of Christ I live.</p>
<p>There in the ground His body lay,<br />
Light of the world by darkness slain;<br />
Then bursting forth in glorious day,<br />
Up from the grave He rose again!<br />
And as He stands in victory,<br />
Sin&#8217;s curse has lost its grip on me;<br />
For I am His and He is mine—<br />
Bought with the precious blood of Christ.</p>
<p>No guilt in life, no fear in death—<br />
This is the pow&#8217;r of Christ in me;<br />
From life&#8217;s first cry to final breath,<br />
Jesus commands my destiny.<br />
No pow&#8217;r of hell, no scheme of man,<br />
Can ever pluck me from His hand;<br />
Till He returns or calls me home—<br />
Here in the pow&#8217;r of Christ I&#8217;ll stand.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a class="thickbox" href="http://www.mikeruman.com/wp-content/gallery/books/blink.jpg"><img class="ngg-singlepic ngg-left alignleft" src="http://www.mikeruman.com/wp-content/gallery/books/blink.jpg" alt="blink.jpg" /></a><strong>From Publishers Weekly</strong><br />
Clumsy prose, a plot that flagrantly capitalizes on the current interest in Islam, and some predictable twists and turns mar this latest novel from a bestselling author in the evangelical Christian market. Dekker, who has enjoyed great commercial success with thrillers like Heaven&#8217;s Wager and Blessed Child, details the horrors suffered by women in some Islamic countries. The story chronicles a desperate flight to the United States by Saudi Arabian princess Miriam al-Asamm, who seeks to escape an unwanted arranged marriage to the evil Omar bin Khalid. Omar must marry Miriam in order to gain allies in his plan to overthrow the government and return Saudi Arabia to fundamentalist Islam. Meanwhile, in the United States, genius Seth Border is bored at Berkeley and pondering the existence of God. When he is thrown together with Miriam at a party, Seth uses a mysterious gift he&#8217;s been given to see &#8220;possible futures&#8221; and helps Miriam escape from Khalid&#8217;s henchmen. Although there are some promising plot threads, the story quickly disintegrates into one long predictable chase scene. The reader must stumble over strange sentences (&#8221;He was like a fragrant aroma that had swept into her life and resuscitated dying tissue&#8221;) and even stranger ones (&#8221;She was nothing more than a helpless maggot here in his presence&#8221;). There&#8217;s plenty of violence, mostly directed at women and often of an inferred sexual nature. In a time when evangelical Christian fiction is coming of age, this book is a disappointment.<br />
