Book Description
This new book sheds light on the existence of Extraterrestrial Beings. Author H. Torrevillas, M.D., invites readers to embark on a fascinating journey to unlock some of lifes greatest mysteries. The author shares his many encounters that made him lean towards the study of intuitive feelings as well as psychic phenomena that relate to the mystifying world of the unknown. From the cradle to the grave, our parents, peers, institutions and society form our values and behavior, but this process has been hijacked. This book opens our minds to the fact that, unknown to us, for generations, we have allowed dictators, power brokers and corporate puppeteers to profit from our ignorance and enslavement. From the anvil of compulsory schooling to media and entertainment, we are being kept in bondage to ideas that shape our actions. But the author is optimistic that we can overcome negative forces that control our minds and those of our leaders. He had been in a quandary in his early years regarding paranormal happenings in his life. Rather than ignore them as skeptics are inclined to do, Dr/ Torrevillas regarded them as significant in his life.

The Message of Isaiah 40-55
Author: John Goldingay
Publisher: A&C Black
ISBN: 0567030385
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 591
Book Description
The Message of Isaiah 40-55 traces the argument of Isaiah 40-55 to show how the chapters bring a message of encouragement and challenge about God's intention to restore the Judean community, some of whose members are in exile in Babylon, others living in the city of Jerusalem that has lain devastated since it fell to the Babylonians in 587. The chapters hold before this community's eyes a vision of the nature of its God as the powerful creator and the loving restorer. In the course of following the argument, the reader becomes aware that the chapters have to deal with their audience's mysterious resistance to their message. It cannot give God the kind of response the message needs and deserves, nor can it fulfil the role as God's servant that is designed for it. God nevertheless remains committed to it. The prophet eventually becomes aware of a distinctive personal calling to embody that response, until the people are ready to do so. It is the prophet's willingness to do this (notwithstanding the suffering it brings) that embodies the kind of ministry that needs to be exercised to them so that they may be brought back to God and find a restoration of spirit, as well as a physical restoration.

Still Lives
Author: Jonathan Cole
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 9780262262170
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 350
Book Description
An examination, through personal narratives and reflective commentary, of life without sensation or movement in the body. In writing Still Lives, Jonathan Cole wanted to find out about living in a wheelchair, without having what he calls "the doctor/patient thing" intervene. He has done this by asking people with spinal cord injuries the simple question of what it is like to live without sensation and movement in the body. If the body has absented itself, where does the person reside? He describes his method in the first chapter: "I have gone to people, not with a white coat or a stethoscope...[but] to listen to their lives as they express them," and it is the candid and powerful narratives of twelve people with spinal cord injuries that form the heart of the book.Asking his simple question, Cole discovers that there is no single or simple answer. The twelve people with tetraplegia (known as quadriplegia in the US) or paraplegia whose stories he tells testify to similar impairments but widely differing experiences. Cole employs their individual responses to shape the book into six main sections: "Enduring," "Exploring," "Experimenting," "Observing," "Empowering," and, finally, "Continuing." Each concludes with a commentary on the broader issues raised. Still Lives moves from a view of impairment as tragedy to reveal the possibilities and richness of experience available to those living with spinal injuries. More universally, it offers new perspectives on our relation to our bodies. In exploring the creative and imaginative adjustments required to construct a "still life," it makes a plea for the able-bodied to adjust their view of this most profound of impairments.

Simplify the Message
Author: Talbot Davis
Publisher: Abingdon Press
ISBN: 1501884611
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 137
Book Description
Simplify the Message: Multiply the Impact is designed to help preachers break through the noise of culture and the cauldron of church to deliver sermons with clarity, passion, and boldness. This book meets the needs of two cohorts in particular: 1) young preachers developing their skills who need structure, a process, and hope, and 2) more seasoned preachers who may have “settled” needing tools to invigorate their preparation and inspire their delivery. Paul told the Corinthians: “When I came to you, brothers and sisters, I didn’t come preaching God’s secrets to you like I was an expert in speech or wisdom. I had made up my mind not to think about anything while I was with you except Jesus Christ, and to preach him as crucified.” (I Corinthians 2:1-2, CEB) Author Talbot Davis shares the insights and habits that will empower the reader’s preaching and teaching to be: Both creative and disciplined; Both carefully prepared and thoroughly spontaneous; and Both rooted in history and connected to modernity. Simple is the opposite of simplistic. Sermons with clear & unmistakable focus are best able to pulumb the depths not only of Gospel beauty but of the hearers’ lives.
