Video Games as Art
Author: Frank G. Bosman
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 3110731010
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 124
Book Description
Video games are a relative late arrival on the cultural stage. While the academic discipline of game studies has evolved quickly since the nineties of the last century, the academia is only beginning to grasp the intellectual, philosophical, aesthetical, and existential potency of the new medium. The same applies to the question whether video games are (or are not) art in and on themselves. Based on the Communication-Oriented Analysis, the authors assess the plausibility of games-as-art and define the domains associted with this question.

From Fear to Faith My Life with God
Author: Rosalind Stewart
Publisher: WestBow Press
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 98
Book Description
God helped me to recognise that I had been, and was being abused. He taught me how to understand and recognise the tactics abusers use, and then how to counter them with faith. God started restoring my life by undoing the lies I was told about myself, my life, my future and my faith. I would like to share some of this journey with you, in the hope of helping you through your own. Removing your boundaries, rejection, criticism, approval and isolation. These are just some of the tactics abusers use to keep you in fear, for the purpose of gaining dominance, power and control over you. Freedom from fear is about learning the signs that someone is trying to gain dominance, power and control over you, and then how to put a stop to it, by safely restoring what is rightfully yours. My prayer is that you will go from fear to faith, and experience the love and freedom that Jesus Christ died to give you.

Book Description
The absolute, comprehensive, from Tiffany Aching to Jack Zweiblumen guide to all things Discworld, fully illustrated by Paul Kidby. The Discworld, as everyone knows, is a flat world balanced on the back of four elephants which, in turn, stand on the shell of the giant star turtle, the Great A'Tuin, as it slowly swims through space. It is also the global publishing phenomenon with sales of over 70 million books worldwide (but who's counting?). There's an awful lot of Discworld to keep track of. But fear not! Help is at hand. For the very first time, everything (and we mean everything) you could possibly want to know has been crammed into one place. If you need a handy guide to locales from Ankh-Morpork to Zemphis . . . If you can't tell your Achmed the Mads from your Jack Zweiblumens . . . If your life depends on distinguishing between the Agatean Empire and the Zoons . . . Look no further. Updated and perfected by Stephen Briggs, the man behind The Ultimate Discworld Companion's predecessor Turtle Recall, this is your ultimate guide to Sir Terry Pratchett's beloved fantasy world.

Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 356
Book Description
Beginning with the problem of evil in the west professor A.L. Herman traces the history of one of the most fascinating of all perennial philosophical puzzles. The author identifies some twenty one historical solutions to the problem which are then reduced to eight quite distinct solutions. Prof. Herman then turns in the second part of the book to the history of the problem of evil in Indian thought.The author then joins the analysis of the problem of evil (taken from the first part of the book) to the Indian doctrine of rebirth in order to attempt a solution to the problem. By careful analysis the author shows that the doctrine of rebirth can satisfy the conditions already set forth as adequate for a solution to the problem of evil.1

GOD End-time Updates The Bride of My Son
Author: Anthony A Eddy
Publisher: Strategic Book Publishing & Rights Agency
ISBN: 1682353508
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 180
Book Description
"I, The Lord Jesus, beget The Will of The Father in the end-time leading into mercy and relief. I, The Lord Jesus, celebrate with The Father the coming wedding of The Lamb. I, The Lord Jesus, bring memories to the fore, bring images of recollection, bring the past into the present, which still awaits the future. "I, The Lord Jesus, will dress My church in glory as befits those enjoined with God, will dress My church in glory with the robes of The Lamb, with the salvation gowns of Life, with the gowns befitting the enrobing of The Kings and Queens of God. "I, The Lord Jesus, know the Father's interest in all that is said and done, in all that is carried and developed, in all which is polished anew within the sunlight of the morning and the moonlight of the dusk..." The wisdom of the centuries has been nurtured in the heavens, has been kept undefiled, is shared with man upon a prayer request, which can prove to be a landmark in the life of man. The wisdom of the centuries is often obvious when spoken, raises eyebrows at the thoughts revealed, silences while matters are considered as to the best way forward. The wisdom of the centuries is a gift from God, is an enlightening of speech, is the summation of the best, is the containment of the worst, is the victory of expression. The wisdom of the centuries is an expansion of vocabulary...

Dynamic Chess Strategy
Author: Mihai Suba
Publisher: New In Chess
ISBN: 9056914596
Category : Games & Activities
Languages : en
Pages : 209
Book Description
In this enlarged edition of a modern classic (first published in 1991) on the battle of chess ideas, grandmaster Mihai Suba developed the concept of ?dynamic potential? in modern chess strategy. In improving your position on the board the old strategy principles often lead to conflicting conclusions. Suba takes another view on the meaning of, for example, ?bad positions? and ?quiet moves?, and uses a light touch to explain his ideas. With many entertaining and instructive examples the author explores ?the accumulation of potential? as the modern way to get the advantage. A thought-provoking and yet very practical guide.

Playing Games in Nineteenth-Century Britain and America
Author: Ann R. Hawkins
Publisher: State University of New York Press
ISBN: 1438485565
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
A vital part of daily life in the nineteenth century, games and play were so familiar and so ubiquitous that their presence over time became almost invisible. Technological advances during the century allowed for easier manufacturing and distribution of board games and books about games, and the changing economic conditions created a larger market for them as well as more time in which to play them. These changing conditions not only made games more profitable, but they also increased the influence of games on many facets of culture. Playing Games in Nineteenth-Century Britain and America focuses on the material and visual culture of both American and British games, examining how cultures of play intersect with evolving gender norms, economic structures, scientific discourses, social movements, and nationalist sentiments.

By the Grace of God Go We
Author: Judy Richichi
Publisher: Word Alive Press
ISBN: 1486621058
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
This is the true story of eight children who started off in a normal family but had an abusive father. Eventually, constant marital fights and the father’s aggressiveness led to divorce, leaving the children to figure out how to survive on their own, with only a mother suffering from mental health issues left to look out for them. Over a five-year period each child experienced profound neglect, lack of supervision, and the breakdown of the family unit, forcing them to make choices they never would have made otherwise. But by the grace of God, and through the help of ordinary people along the way, they not only survived but developed a relationship with Christ. He transformed their lives and helped them achieve above and beyond anything they could have imagined. God has a plan for each of us, but it’s up to us to choose the right path and seek Him in the midst of our trials.
