Book Description
Twenty years ago, not one nation on earth had legal same-sex marriage. Now, access to same-sex marriage is increasingly seen as a basic human right. In a matter of less than a generation, western cultures have experienced a moral revolution. Dr. R. Albert Mohler examines how this transformation occurred, revealing the underlying cultural shifts behind this revolution: the acceptance of divorce culture, liberation of sex from reproduction, the prevalence of heterosexual cohabitation, the normalization of homosexuality, and the rise of the transgender movement. He then offers a deep look at how the Bible and Christian moral tradition provide a comprehensive understanding upon which Christians can build their personal lives, their marriages, church ministry, and cultural engagement. Dr. Mohler helps Christians in their understanding of the underlying issues of this significant cultural shift and how to face the challenge of believing faithfully, living faithfully, and engaging the culture faithfully in light of this massive change.

Not Yet Married
Author: Marshall Segal
Publisher: Crossway
ISBN: 1433555484
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 221
Book Description
Life Is Never Mainly About Love and Marriage. So Learn to Live and Date for More. Many of you grew up assuming that marriage would meet all of your needs and unlock God's purposes for you. But God has far more planned for you than your future marriage. Not Yet Married is not about waiting quietly in the corner of the world for God to bring you "the one," but about inspiring you to live and date for more now. If you follow Jesus, the search for a spouse is no longer a pursuit of the perfect person, but a pursuit of more of God. He will likely write a love story for you different than the one you would write for yourself, but that's because he loves you and knows how to write a better story. This book was written to help you find real hope, happiness, and purpose in your not-yet-married life.

He Speaks in the Silence
Author: Diane Comer
Publisher: Zondervan
ISBN: 0310341787
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 209
Book Description
He Speaks in the Silence is about Diane Comer’s search for the kind of intimacy with God every woman longs for. It is a story of trying to be a good girl, of following the rules, of longing for a satisfaction that eludes us. Disappointed with all Diane had been told was supposed to fulfill her, she begged God in desperation to give her more. And He did. But first He took her through a trial so debilitating it almost destroyed what little faith she had. He let her go deaf. Using vivid parallels between her deafness and every woman’s struggle to hear God, this book shows women not only how Diane, as a deaf woman, hears in everyday life, but also how she can learn to listen to God in the midst of her own loud life, finding intimacy with God and the deep soul satisfaction she longs for.

Book Description
Will your chosen world be one chosen without your consent? The current & alternate futures described in this book include those of a world of "secure freedoms" which the UN SC's Consultancy Committee has chosen for us, with our passive consent, complicity, or fear of rendition and torture via Dershowitz Certificates [Torture Warrants] From the smoking landscape of Israel-Palestine, a New Israel has relocated, WMD & all, to a territory in Canada comprising most of Alberta, Saskatchewan, & Manitoba. Recalcitrant Reservations Natives who refuse resettlement offers and a new Occupation are classified as Palestine-like Terrorists - with dire consequences. Diana and Dodi Fayad's murders are shown as the context for the UK Establishment's staunchly anti-Islamic policies and eventual destruction of Iraq with the Crusader alliance led by the US, UK & Australia, guided by the Neo-Cons. The locales are Canada & the Middle East, today & explores a time when Toronto has become a province, while its 200-storey towers at Jane-Finch, & other towering edifi ces of institutional inequality comprised of a city block are now mini-cities. The Jane-Finch mini-city inhabitants are classifi ed as low economic value denizens'. Better off Citizens' occupy numerous, semiautonomous, 200 to 300 story edifi ces - also mini-cities - at Bay-King, Rosedale, Thornhill. PharmaCorps occupying a few city blocks are special corporate Mini-Cities, whose employees are integrated into the giant, sky-scraper condos on site,. These corporate mini-cities have the legal power to make laws and regulations outside of the now debased "Charter Of Rights and Secure Freedoms' for Persons including Corporations and Organizations." Each chapter of CHOSEN WORLD deals with possible alternative futures or comments on dramatic recent events such Challenger ́s role in the weaponization of space by the US and its major ally. Several chapters deal with the dilemma of a future Pope who has to vote for or against a Christian and Jewish war against Islam and the forced rewriting and re-interpretation of the Q ́uran by Christians and Zionists. He dreads the consequences. During this time he is being blackmailed by a group that wants to direct his decision. CHOSEN WORLD will challenge your world view. Book Reviews "The premis of "Chosen World" is that we all live in a world that is chosen, either by ourselves or by someone else. Which world do I choose to live in and how can I live in it when others are choosing a world other than what I'm choosing? The importance of recognising the other "choosers" and their right to make their choices AND my right to make my choices and to live by them is paramount. RESPECT of each other and Non interferance with others even when they choose to live differently from us are key factors in getting along in this world. I found the book challenging and insightful. It's not bed time reading for me but I highly recommend it to those who want to be enlightened about what's going on in our world and who's making the choices that impact your life." ---Jake Schmidt, Therapist / Counsellor, Keystone Counselling Associates "This is not an easy book to read. Like the incredibly popular Da Vinci Code, this book weaves fact, fiction and speculation. And at first this, along with the mixing of different fonts, it is a little jarring. But what really makes the book not so easy to read is the demand it places on you to not take for granted that power is being exercised by our culture, by our country and by other entities and forces who would want to make choices for us. Once you get over the inclination to stop and search out each movement of the story in order to validate and explore it, you let the story unfold and simply let it inspire you to take your place in this world with a little more seriousness, sobriety and resolve.

Book Description
“If I could, I would put this book into the hands of every Christian in America.” —Dr. David Jeremiah “Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go” (Joshua 1:9). Each day, you watch America turn further from Christian values and the core principles of liberty. It’s frustrating to feel you can’t assert biblical truth without facing condemnation, and fearful to witness outrage and victimhood replace respect and reason. Amidst this dissent, how can you not only stay rooted in your own faith, but continue publicly testifying for Jesus? In We Will Not Be Silenced, Dr. Erwin W. Lutzer prepares you to live out your convictions against a growing tide of hostility. Gain a better understanding of nonbelievers’ legitimate hurts and concerns regarding issues like racism, sexism, and poverty—and identify the toxic responses secular culture disguises as solutions. In the process, you’ll see how you can show compassion and gentleness to those outside of the faith without affirming their beliefs. We Will Not Be Silenced will ready you to move beyond fear and boldly accept the challenge of representing Christ to a watching world that needs Him now more than ever before.

RetroChristianity
Author: Michael J. Svigel
Publisher: Crossway
ISBN: 1433528517
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
Evangelicalism is in trouble. Surveying the modern evangelical landscape, professor Michael Svigel asks, "Why does evangelicalism appear to be spinning out of control, losing appeal to younger generations, dwindling in numbers, or selling out to pop culture to muster a crowd?" He seeks to answer this question by looking to the past—to a Retro Christianity. Calling for a return to evangelicalism's historical and theological roots, Svigel begins by addressing some of present-day evangelicalism's problems and explores what can be done to help churches regain a healthy perspective on doctrine. He then gives practical examples of what establishing a biblical, historical, and theologically sound foundation will mean for Christians as they think through aspects of church life and worship. As the numbers of those confused or disenchanted with evangelicalism continue to grow, Svigel's book meets a timely need and will benefit many readers with his balanced argument for preserving the evangelical faith.

Languages : en
Pages : 164
Book Description
Three voices. Three acts of defiance. One mass injustice. The story of camp as you’ve never seen it before. Japanese Americans complied when evicted from their homes in World War II -- but many refused to submit to imprisonment in American concentration camps without a fight. In this groundbreaking graphic novel, meet JIM AKUTSU, the inspiration for John Okada’s No-No Boy, who refuses to be drafted from the camp at Minidoka when classified as a non-citizen, an enemy alien; HIROSHI KASHIWAGI, who resists government pressure to sign a loyalty oath at Tule Lake, but yields to family pressure to renounce his U.S. citizenship; and MITSUYE ENDO, a reluctant recruit to a lawsuit contesting her imprisonment, who refuses a chance to leave the camp at Topaz so that her case could reach the U.S. Supreme Court. Based upon painstaking research, We Hereby Refuse presents an original vision of America’s past with disturbing links to the American present.

“Hey ‘Adam,’ ‘Where You At’?”

ISBN: 1524685828
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 277
Book Description
A GODLY MANS GUIDE TO COVERING THE WOMAN OF GOD FROM A W.O.W.W.W.W WOMANS PERSPECTIVE In view of what has been established in my Trilogy for both males and females, leaders and laymen, this journey continues as a spin-off from: God, Why Didnt He Cover Me? As I have been criticized about the wording of the current book title, I need you to roll with me on this one. As this book has become a personal conversation with my race of people, reader discretion is advised. If it had been intended for Esaus descendents, I would have asked: Hey Adam, Where Art Thou? But since God has expanded my ability to communicate an exclusive message, this book has been deliberately downloaded for the Tribe of Judah. In translating the artistic nature of Heaven onto the earth, I need you to comprehend the words that are coming out of the Fathers mouth. Disclaimer: Just as this intriguing component continues to offer a unique smorgasbord of legitimate inquiries that may not fit the typical readers practical perspective, the project is intentionally informal with jargon-laden language that may not be acceptable by church folks and academic audiences. So if you are the traditional, super-spiritual Christian thats speaking in super-sonic tongues, this book will likely press your religious buttons. Even as the progressive theology may go beyond the capacity of your traditional beliefs, your personal opinions are no indication that God has stopped speaking (see Mt. 4:4). So in viewing the world with an inquisitive eye that may not fit the general patterns, I trust that you will notice that this book treads on prophetic territory. Now that I have pre-warned you of the inevitable, I invite you to explore a very rare assessment of the first and last Adam. Especially rewarding for the reader who values the fact that Adam was the figure of HIM who was to come, my question is: Could it possibly be that Adam was engaged in covering his bride and not preoccupied with hiding his sin? In my opinion, because Eve was the weaker vessel, Adam took the fall and willfully gave up his immortality, in order to become her covering. Why? So that there would be no record on Earth suggesting that the world was in sin because of her transgression. For as by one mans disobedience many were made sinners (Rom. 5:19a). Why Adam would demonstrate perfect love and give up immortality for the love of a woman is really the focus of my investigation. Why Jesus would give up immortality and leave the Father to die on an old rugged cross is a large part of the conclusion. Evidently, when God looks at us, He sees Jesus, but when He looked at Eve, He saw Adam. All over the world, Jesus was the Lamb, but Adam, you da man because you took a stand. Brace yourself, as this provocative revelation may likely augment your investment. In my southern colloquial and best Ebonics, allow me to say it like Im feeling it, Hey Adam, where you at? Im gonna need you to take a stand, and be da man! Come on yall, lets get back to Eden!
