Book Description
No matter what the season, trees display their splendor. But one of the most striking winter sights for me are tree boughs laden with snow. It doesn't matter how large or small the limbs of a tree may be, snow will rest on its branches just the same. Snow blankets a tree's nakedness with a covering so pure and white that it may be easy to forget how lush and colorful they are any other time of year. Despite the natural trials trees face each season, they continue to be a portrait of beauty. Creation in its most unadulterated form speaks of God's character. Fields, clouds, trees, wildlife-they each reflect something of Him, not just once but across various contexts. Journey into the realms of nature and discover the character of God for yourself. Love, hope, peace, truth, wisdom, and many other fruits are waiting to be discovered within Echoes of Creation. Why wait any longer? Open, read, ponder, and discover the heart of God Himself revealed through nature as you navigate Echoes of Creation.

Book Description
Years after the Historian wanders away from Surac, the people use the power of their Stones to craft a golden age for themselves. As they expand and explore, however, they find that some secrets are better left alone, and not all powers are benevolent. Sadavir, the hero who brought the peoples together, travels into new territory on a rescue mission. Everyone, including Sadavir himself, believes that his talents, training, and powers make him invulnerable to harm. But there are mysteries more ancient than the Stones, and weaknesses that aren't discovered until strength has failed.

Echoes of Coinherence
Author: W. Ross Hastings
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1498240798
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 254
Book Description
This book re-imagines the universe (and the scientific study of it) through the lens of a triune Creator, three persons of irreducible identity in a perichoretic or coinherent communion. It modestly proposes that Trinitarian theology, and especially the coinherent natures of the Son in the incarnation, provides the metaphysic or "theory of everything" that manifests itself in the subject matter of science. The presence of the image of the triune God in humanity and of traces of this God in the non-human creation are discussed, highlighting ontological resonances between God and creation (resonances between the being of God and his creation), such as goodness, immensity-yet-particularity, intelligibility, agency, relationality, and beauty. This Trinitarian reality suggests there should be a similarity also with respect to how we know in theology and science (critical realism), something reflected in the history of ideas in each. These resonances lead to the conclusion that the disciplines of theology and science are, in fact, coinherent, not conflicted. This involves recognition of both the mutuality of these vocations and also, importantly, their particularity. Science, its own distinct guild, yet finds its place ensconced within an encyclopedic theology, and subject to first-order, credal theology.

Echoes of Eden
Author: Jerram Barrs
Publisher: Crossway
ISBN: 1433536005
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 210
Book Description
From comic books to summer blockbusters, all people enjoy art in some form or another. However, few of us can effectively explain why certain books, movies, and songs resonate so profoundly within us. In Echoes of Eden, Jerram Barrs helps us identify the significance of artistic expression as it reflects the extraordinary creativity and unmatched beauty of the Creator God. Additionally, Barrs provides the key elements for evaluating and defining great art: (1) The glory of the original creation; (2) The tragedy of the curse of sin; (3) The hope of final redemption and renewal. These three qualifiers are then put to the test as Barrs investigates five of the world's most influential authors who serve as ideal case studies in the exploration of the foundations and significance of great art.

The Historian chances upon Surac, a land where people's destinies are defined by powerful pendants they have from birth, called Stones.

When Aric, a Creator blacksmith, has a son born with a Stone that marks him for violence and destruction, they find themselves in danger from those they called their friends. When the boy, Sadavir, is ultimately banished, he discovers secrets far darker than the villagers' petty prejudices. On the far side of the wall, he learns the origin of the Stones' magic and a war that dates back centuries. As he uncovers the true power locked in the Stones, he must find a way to unite ancient enemies in order to save his family. To stop a genocide, Sadavir must face his own destiny of violence.

Iron Age Echoes
Author: David R. Fontijn
Publisher: Sidestone Press
ISBN: 9088900736
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 178
Book Description
Groups of burial mounds may be among the most tangible and visible remains of Europe's prehistoric past. Yet, not much is known on how "barrow landscapes" came into being . This book deals with that topic, by presenting the results of archaeological research carried out on a group of just two barrows that crown a small hilltop near the Echoput ("echo-well") in Apeldoorn, the Netherlands. In 2007, archaeologists of the Ancestral Mounds project of Leiden University carried out an excavation of parts of these mounds and their immediate environment. They discovered that these mounds are rare examples of monumental barrows from the later part of the Iron Age. They were probably built at the same time, and their similarities are so conspicuous that one might speak of "twin barrows". The research team was able to reconstruct the long-term history of this hilltop. We can follow how the hilltop that is now deep in the forests of the natural reserve of the Kroondomein Het Loo, once was an open place in the landscape. With pragmatism not unlike our own, we see how our prehistoric predecessors carefully managed and maintained the open area for a long time, before it was transformed into a funerary site. The excavation yielded many details on how people built the barrows by cutting and arranging heather sods, and how the mounds were used for burial rituals in the Iron Age.
