The Ramifications of Our Salvation

When I first received author John Rataczak's book in the mail, I thought, "Oh boy, what have I gotten myself into?"  I geared myself up for some deep reading and deciphering of theology way beyond what my pea brain could comprehend.  However, what I discovered was a book written and backed by scripture, followed by questions and logical answers. John writes on the second page of his book, "Biblical knowledge is important, but it must be accompanied by the desire to become more Christ-like in our attitudes and actions."
  


1.  What is the one thing, you would like people to know about you?
Really, the most important thing is what God thinks. I dohope people come to the conclusion that my two daily prayersare of the utmost importance: a. that God would bring about arevival of evangelism worldwide, and b. that God would bringa revival of Biblical thinking among His people.

2.  How would you describe your book to readers? 
I have written 4 books thus far:
a. The Ramifications of Our Salvation explains what happensBiblically when a believer is saved by God's grace.  In 35 short,readable chapters; suitable for small group or personal study,it has 4 quizzes and a final exam at the end.
b. Bible Translations: A Closer Look defends the inspiration ofthe Bible, discusses the history and difficulties involved intranslation, explains the various theories of translation, and offers practical suggestions for effective Bible studies.
c. Spiritual Gifts Verse by Verse: A Commentary on I Corinthians12-14 is a phrase-by-phrase look at the three chapters of the NewTestament that most thoroughly deal with the subject of spiritualgifts.
d. A Portrait of Jesus is in five sections: Jesus before time existed,Jesus in Old Testament times, Jesus on this earth, Jesus in thepresent, Jesus in the last days and final state. It's 37 short chapterson our amazing Savior!

3.  What is your greatest desire in life?
It is my sincere desire that these books (and others that by God'sgrace will come in the future) will be used to glorify our Savior inmany lands throughout the world. I don't want any credit, but I dobelieve these books are needed and helpful to many who are lost orChristians who need encouragement and instruction.

4.  What are you currently reading?
Currently, I am reading biographies about Christian leaders fromthe 19th century in preparation for my fifth book: 19th CenturyInfluences on 21st. Century Christianity.
