New Book Release: Kingdom Journey

Kingdom Journey: A Call to Recover the Central Theme of Scripture by Sean P. Finnegan

News flash: "The Bible doesn't teach that people go to heaven or hell when they die." Rather, it teaches that God's kingdom will come to this earth in judgment and restoration, making everything wrong with the world right. The doorway into the age to come is not death but the return of Christ when his followers experience resurrection rather than disembodiment. This simple idea is not only the key to understanding the biblical vision of the future, but it also formed the core of Jesus's gospel message, and it provides the motivation to live out your faith today. The goal of this book is nothing short of igniting a revolution in the church's understanding of the kingdom of God. Kingdom Journey marries a biblical exploration to a historical investigation to explain not only what the kingdom of God is, but also how Christianity lost this precious pearl of great price. Thankfully, several movements over the past five centuries have initiated recoveries of the kingdom idea, but many Christians remain in the dark, beset with medieval folk theology. This book will open your eyes to seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness with clarity and vigor.

A century in existence is no small feat for this organization; it has been a journey of education, advocacy, and commitment to its goals.

The future of the New York State Land Title Association is informed by its history. Our leaders recognize that it took the concerted efforts of many devoted members to serve our industry in the past and they will continue to focus on supporting the success of all our members going forward. Together, our group of capable and skilled agents and underwriters have pursued a vision of achievement and executed a new, proactive approach that will help us face the inevitable trials and tribulations we’ll encounter as we embrace what is to come.

Just as the foundation of our work begins in the soil of the communities in which we reside, the foundation of the New York State Land Title Association is our people—those who will safeguard our industry and continue to educate, advocate, and support our best interests.
