Book Description
The principle of sacrifice is as old as human life itself. This book provides an overview of sacrificial practices around the world since prehistoric times. It also examines the reasons behind these rituals, and in the case of human sacrifice an attempt is made to understand the mentality of the 'victims' who often willingly went to their deaths.

Book Description
The work of Jaques Lacan, eminent French psychoanalyst and influential thinker (1901-1981), is recognized as being of vital importance to psychoanalysts, philosophers, and all those concerned with the the study of man and language. Its value is not limited to the field of psychoanalysis alone, but provides the basis for a new philosophy of man and a new theory of discourse. It is, however, notoriously difficult for the non-specialist reader to come to terms with Lacan's reading of Freud and his investigations of the unconscious. Until now, there has been no satisfactory general introduction to Lacan, and this first general exposition of his work, translated and revised from the French edition, is designed to provide the conceptual tools which will enable the reader to study Lacan using the original texts.

Book Description
This book of fiction is not for everyone. It is a wordy book, it contains concepts of philosophy and psychology, it is a very introspective and reasoning book, and the reasoning circles around despair, anxiety, loneliness, impossible love, and sin. It is not a book just to read through. Furthermore, it will not depict their every day life, only moments; because of the clear theme of the book: Only the moments were perfect In itself it is a description of sinful people, that fails in everything they do, or try to accomplish, so driven by their dreams, longings, and selfishness, like many of us are. And I have tried to down tone their sins not their sinfulness. This is a book about dreams, when dreams become more important than love. This is the cause of the lamentation, the cause of the missing, the cause of the sadness. It is also a book of a love that never was meant to be. We seldom know that beforehand, even if he should have known. Where one person's dreams clashes against the other's, making love impossible. It is also a book that tries through the format of the novel to convey how a flawed theology and lack of true biblical understanding can lead people on the wrong way, unto destruction, unto despair, unto sin. These four people, the protagonists, they symbolize the nominal Christian, the world, the contemporary Christianity and a loving mother figure. It is a book that tries to convey the true biblical Gospel in the end in a form of a short commentary: How God delivers his people, and that he is the only one that is truly able to do that through the sacrifice of his only-begotten Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, who died on the cross for the world as a substitute. God is able to save, to justify, to impute Christ's righteousness unto us, and to transform us after his eternal purpose giving us his Holy Spirit whom will lead us unto our Lord and God, and make us walk in those good works, which God from eternity have ordained that we should walk in. God is able, and he is worthy of our worship.

Book Description
The present book discusses the concept of salvation, its need, and the Plan of God in detail. The common misnomer that Jesus Christ died for the Christians has been dispelled and it has been clarified that Christ died for the entire humanity. His death covers each and every soul including those that died before the death of Jesus and also those who die in the future. For each and every soul the door of salvation has been opened by the lord. As sinners, it is impossible to become righteous in the sight of God as even our righteousness is like filth rags. Through the blood of Jesus, we are reconciled with the Father, and by His grace we are saved. For the subaltern in the scriptures, the steps to salvation have been inked out, which are illustrative and not exhaustive.

This book was written to record God's creation of the world and to demonstrate His love for all that He created. Genesis is the first book of the Law and also the first book of the entire Bible. The name Genesis literally means "In the Beginning." It explains the actual events of one of the most debated subjects of our current day...the origin of life. Genesis describes the Lord God, who is infinite and all-powerful, creating everything that exists, by the power of His spoken Word, out of nothing. He essentially creates material matter out of nonmaterial nothing.
