Book Description
In this “riveting” series from “a brilliant new voice,” gender in the twenty-fifth century is a matter of personal choice—until you reach the Commitment Hour (David Feintuch). After most of Earth’s population has left for other planets, life is simple in the isolated village of Tober Cove. Fullin, a twenty-year-old musician, lives well off of his craft. But soon he must make a life-changing decision that all residents of Tober Cove must make. Up until their twenty-first birthdays, the people of Tober Cove change gender every year. But at the age of twenty-one, they must commit to being male, female, or a Neut (essentially a hermaphrodite) for the rest of their lives. As Fullin nears the moment of decision, his faith becomes shaken when he uncovers secrets that distort his beliefs.

The Hour That Changes the World
Author: Dick Eastman
Publisher: Baker Books
ISBN: 1585588326
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 160
Book Description
The Hour That Changes the World, first published by Baker in 1978, is a classic book on prayer that offers practical suggestions on how readers can revitalize their prayer lives. Dick Eastman challenges Christians to spend one hour each day in prayer, and he outlines a twelve-step prayer program to help them accomplish the task. By dividing one hour into twelve five-minute "points of focus," such as praise, waiting, confession, and Scripture praying, believers will develop a more consistent habit of daily prayer. The Hour That Changes the World draws heavily on Scripture and classic devotional writers and includes an appendix titled "Scriptural Intercession." This 25th anniversary edition features a new introduction by Eastman and a new foreword by Joni Eareckson Tada, in which she writes: "The Hour That Changes the World may appear small and modest, but don't let its size fool you. Full of biblical insights about prayer, packed with testimonies of prayer warriors from years past, brimming with practical suggestions that will help you carve out a purposeful time of praise and intercession, Dick Eastman's book is arguably the most significant book on prayer written in modern times."

The Day and the Hour
Author: Robin H. Hitsman
Publisher: Tate Publishing
ISBN: 1617770469
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
Do you believe Jesus Christ is coming to get his church very soon like He said He would? There is a stirring in the heavenly realms like this generation has never known. The world can sense it, but can the sons and daughters of God? The world is looking for the pomp and circumstance of a star, and this will deceive many. The church needs to have different expectations. The Word of God tells us to look forward to the coming of our Savior—Jesus—who said He would come back for His saints when it was time. Do you trust the Word of God? Do you believe what He says? Like the parable of the ten virgins in Matthew, the church needs to be ready for the return of her bridegroom. Using mathematical calculations and Scripture, Robin Hitsman shows that Old Testament prophecy is how we can determine exactly when the Second Coming will occur. Woven throughout Scripture is the answer to life's most important question, and we need to be ready, waiting, and watching, because The Day and the Hour Is Sooner Than We Think!

Could You Not Watch with Me One Hour?
Author: Fr. Florian Racine
Publisher: Ignatius Press
ISBN: 158617777X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 269
Book Description
Fr. Florian Racine offers us a beautiful formation guide on Eucharistic adoration that will help us to practice it in all its depth, and with a missionary perspective. God has made himself particularly close to mankind in Jesus his Son. The redemptive Incarnation of his Son is how God reconciles mankind with himself. The memorial of the Passover of Christ is therefore at the heart of our relationship with God. In the Blessed Sacrament, the resurrected Jesus is really present and acting; he draws all mankind into his filial relationship with the Father, through the power of the Holy Spirit. Thus, following the plan of God, Catholics put the Eucharist at the heart of their lives, and take time to adore Jesus in the Holy Sacrament. The adorer wants to abide within the dynamic life of the Eucharist, just as he desires that the Eucharist transform his whole life. Adoration and Eucharistic life transform believers into the image of Christ. The author invites us on an itinerary, a journey of faith, in fifty-two stagesÑas many as the weeks in a year. He starts by showing how the Word of God is made present in the Eucharist, and then he invites us to mature in faith and to be transformed by a greater communion with Christ.
