Book Description
Having shared my first booklet, ‘Genesis 3 Christianity’, with a friend, the critique I received from him was that I did not adequately offer an alternative to that gospel of ‘sins-forgiven-going-to-heaven-when-I-die’. I made a good defense by pointing out the subtitle, ‘and a Look Beyond it’, as well as having spent pages discussing a more advanced gospel description for which I used the term ‘transcendent transformation’. I felt my defense well made; but over the days the thought continued to press upon me that the critique of one form of the gospel perhaps deserved a more complete presentation of a more complete gospel message. And so we have this sequel booklet, ‘God’s Construction Plan—The Transcendent Transformation of Man—Born of the Spirit’. The structure of this booklet, the sequential developments of God’s Plans over His dispensations, is meant both to expose some common misunderstandings of believers and also to point out the always higher ways of God. May you enjoy the quest in better discovering God’s great Construction Plans for yourself, for His plans for the glory of humanity, and all for the pleasure of God!

Book Description
“God’s Blueprint of the Ages” developed as lesson plans through several years of Bible study and sermon preparation. To show a visual presentation of Biblical Chronology a graphic chart was drawn, step-by-step, that showed how God worked with His created earth from eternity past to eternity future. Various time periods, called “ages” or “dispensations” is shown graphically as a timeline. How Satan tried unsuccessfully to thwart God’s plan throughout history is also presented. Old Testament prophecy and New Testament Grace is expanded within the chapters that reference and explain the symbols on the chart. Many references to the Word of God are noted within each chapter to verify each explanation.

Chad

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 189
Book Description
"This book is not just the story of an amazing young man's life journey....it's much more than that. This is a labour of love by a proud father. A touching tribute to his son's courage, his love of family, and his commitment to his God. It is a celebration of a life well lived." - Suzanne Faull, Chaplain, Expatriate Support Ministries "Around Newcastle are many homes built and renovated by my friend Chad. When he wasn't swinging a hammer for clients, he was hard at work building a life around him. This year Chad began building his family a new house. Chad was in hospital when they last raced at Bathurst. He was thin and in pain, but laughed as he talked about cars and fishing and his suffering and faith. He always clung to hope, to a miracle. Although he couldn't eat his meal, he was concerned I hadn't had dinner. His last words were "Jesus, wow." - Bruce Quirey, Senior Journalist, Newcastle Herald "The story of Chad is very moving and inspiring. Publishing it will not only give justice to the wonderful life he lived, but will also leave a legacy to those who know him and to those who will know him through his book. I just felt that this book can make a difference to the lives of other people when it's out in the market. What a birthday present would this be for Chad. I know he is very happy in the presence of the Lord knowing that he is cherished by his loving family for the wonderful life he lived. Truly enough he will be 33 years old forever which is a very significant number for the Saviour." - Michael Mendes, Senior Publishing Consultant, Xlibris.

Home, Heat, Money, God
Author: Kathryn E. O'Rourke
Publisher: University of Texas Press
ISBN: 1477328920
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 401
Book Description
"The idea for this book came about when architectural historian Kathryn O'Rourke and architect / photographer Ben Koush collaborated on a piece on postmodern architecture for Texas Architect. The two enjoyed working together--with O'Rourke writing and Koush providing visuals--and, together with UTP, developed the framework for a similarly rich, book-length treatment of modern architecture in Texas. Conceived to be accessible to a general readership, this project explores in photographs and words approximately fifty years of Texas modern architecture, from the 1930s to the 1980s. As O'Rourke writes, "In this period, modern architecture and Texas grew and changed at an astonishing pace. The state became a significant force in national and international affairs, chiefly as a consequence of the oil industry and the presence of politically powerful Texans in Washington, D.C. Major buildings, many designed by regionally and nationally-prominent architects, followed the money in the state as the influence and image of Texas grew. Relentless ambition, a forward-looking attitude, and a strong sense of place combined to make Texans particularly receptive to modern architecture's implication of newness, its future-oriented image, and its capacity to reinterpret historical forms in novel ways." While many books on Texas architecture focus on one building type (residential architecture, courthouses, and so on), this project adopts a broader lens. A dozen chapters presented under four thematic headings explore buildings through a variety of frameworks--there are the inescapable forces of heat and money, essential functions like caregiving and government, and groupings for leisure and multi-building sites such as museums and campuses. In each of these sections, the authors present a "constellation" of buildings, with one central example and several supporting ones. So, for instance, the "God" chapter presents O'Neil Ford's Little Chapel in the Woods in Denton as its main building, alongside the Antioch Baptist Church in San Antonio and the Congregation Rodef Shalom in Waco. This sort of geographical diversity, with big cities sitting alongside smaller and lesser studied places, runs through the volume as a whole"--
