Good News Magazine: July - August 2015

In this issue, we reflect on the conflict of the second World War and realize that even a greater global conflict is coming. We explore the changes that have occured in the United States and other Western nations since World War II. We ask "What is the time of the end and are we in it?". In the "Bible & You" section we look at caring for spiritual injuries and staying connected to the word of God in our busy lives.
