Press Release: New ChristianMartial Art Book Martial Arts and the Christian By Douglas M. Laurent Released on Amazon Kindle, Oct 12,2012 Mitchell, Nebraska, October 12,2012―LaurentBooks is proud to announce the following publication, MartialArts and the Christian, on Amazon Kindle eBooks.

Martial Arts and the Christianexplores the underlying themes of Creationism and Evolutionismfound inherent in the arts. From studies in Genesis, MAC establishes a strong Christian apologetic “defense of the faith”position. The book, a sharp study that de-bunks temporal myths in the martialarts as well as provide a Christian map, is an alternative way of seeing thearts in their most basic, pro-Christ state. MAC, citing a definitecreationist perspective, allows the arts to have a Christ-centered eternaltheme rather than a temporary earth-bound one, which the philosophies of theOrient promote.

The work provides a clear frameworkfor Christians so they may “see through” the prevalent worldly philosophiesthat the arts are currently tied to. Citing that original God-honoring artsbegan with the family of Noah and were later inundated with Easternphilosophies at the Tower of Babel, MAC traces this line of reasoning tothe present day popular martial arts. MAC also provides Christianstrategists with the necessary tools of analysis to help them define their artsand their individual roles in the martial “mission” field for a greaterpersonal effect.

Establishing lost historical lines MACties the modern arts to the God of Creation, filling in a much-needed Christiananalysis of the arts, and is intended to be a solid reference work, one thatwill equip the Christian practitioner with sound information for many years tocome. Written in a casual easy to understand style, MAC covers topicssuch as anthropology, art, history, linguistics, myth, prayer, science,strategy and theology, and will be an invaluable edition to any library wheresound Biblical teaching of the arts is concerned.

About the Author: Douglas M. Laurent,M.A., English, is a graduate of Northeastern Illinois University in Chicago. Asa Bible researcher and as a martial practitioner with over thirty years ofexperience in various arts, Mr. Laurent found that many Christians who practicemartial arts either compromise their faith or do not have an adequate apologetic,“defense of the faith” when it comes to their dealing with theevolutionary-oriented philosophies that the world martial arts are dominatedby. As a result of this, Mr. Laurent in Martial Arts and the Christianclearly delineates the Creation-based Christian perspective on the arts and theuncompromising role Christian martial strategists must play in the respectivemission field called “martial arts.” Forfurther information, contact: LaurentBooks@aol.com Carol Laurent, Publisher
