Book Description
Laughter, satire, wit; the devils been using those for years to put down, brow beat, and control Christians. If you go in anyway against his agenda, you are then ridiculed by mainstream society, by the News Media, by Talk Shows, and by some very talented folk who use their God given talent to mock any and all things holy. Well, two can play at that game! Laughter? Satire? Wit? Check! Check! Check! They're all in here! And who says Christians can't have a sense of humor? Sure, they'll sing in church, pray, recite, testify; even cry, sob, and wail; but laugh? Maybe, but only if everyone else does! Hey, it's okay for Christians to learn and laugh, to laugh and learn. The Holy Spirit, here on this earth, is with us, living in us, and has a great sense of humor. He'll even get us to laugh at ourselves, which is a good thing 'cause some of us take ourselves way too seriously. On that note; got a question for you: Is it better to get mad at yourself, or to laugh at yourself? To get mad and increase stress, or to laugh and relieve it? Hey, we're human, we're gonna do the occasional stupid thing anyway, might as well laugh at it and learn from it! Oh right, THE BOOK! This is supposed to be about the book, OOPS! Yes, I confess, I do tend to wander a little off topic. I could get mad at myself for this repetitive tendency, or I could just laugh at it, learn from it, and get back on track. In this book, I've attempted to use Holy Spirit revelation (yes, the Holy Ghost is my "Ghost Writer;" and I freely admit that!), scripture, and humor to further spread the Gospel (The Good News!) of Jesus Christ. So, just in case the back cover of this book is the only part you ever read, just let me say this, JESUS LOVES YOU. HE'S PAID FOR EVERY SIN YOU'VE EVER COMMITTED, ARE COMMITTING, OR WILL COMMIT IN THE FUTURE. YOUR SIN DEBT HAS BEEN PAID IN FULL. Simple acceptance of that truth, and a belief in him, gets you salvation, redemption, righteousness, and eternal life; all that and more. The Bible in particular, and this book in part, can and will provide further revelation. Hey, if you're a Christian you should already know all that; if you're not or you don't, now you do!

Pages : 769
Book Description
On the Origin of Species (or, more completely, On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life),[3] published on 24 November 1859, is a work of scientific literature by Charles Darwin which is considered to be the foundation of evolutionary biology.[4] Darwin's book introduced the scientific theory that populations evolve over the course of generations through a process of natural selection. It presented a body of evidence that the diversity of life arose by common descent through a branching pattern of evolution. Darwin included evidence that he had gathered on the Beagle expedition in the 1830s and his subsequent findings from research, correspondence, and experimentation.

The Play of Animals
Author: Karl Groos
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Animal behavior
Languages : en
Pages : 384
Book Description
"In this volume Professor Groos makes a contribution to three distinct but cognate departments of inquiry: philosophical biology, animal psychology, and the genetic study of art. The world of play, to which art belongs, stands in most important and interesting contrast with the stern realities of life; yet there are few scientific works in the field of human play, and none at all in that of animal play--a fact to be accounted for, probably, by the inherent difficulties of the subject, both objective and subjective. The animal psychologist must harbour in his breast not only two souls, but more; he must unite with a thorough training in physiology, psychology, and biology the experience of a traveller, the practical knowledge of the director of a zoological garden, and the outdoor lore of a forester. And even then he could not round up his labours satisfactorily unless he were familiar with the trend of modern aesthetics. Groos holds play to be an instinct developed by natural selection, and to be on a level with the other instincts which are developed for their utility. Its utility is, in the main, twofold: First, it enables the young animal to exercise himself beforehand in the strenuous and necessary functions of its life and so to be ready for their onset; and, second, it enables the animal by a general instinct to do many things in a playful way, and so to learn for itself much that would otherwise have to be inherited in the form of special instincts; this puts a premium on intelligence, which thus comes to replace instinct"--Preface.
