Book Description
It’s the spring of 1983 and Arthur is thirteen years of age, an only son, and a musician who wants to make his parents proud, hoping to win first place in the Give It Your All Talent Competition. But when a family camping trip takes a turn for the worst, Arthur falls into an abyss of grief, loss, and desperation—a tragedy unlike anything he's ever experienced. And just when it feels like things are getting back to normal, Arthur’s adoption parents, who are keeping a secret and working undercover, take him back to the forest that still haunts him—an opportunity to face his fears once and for all. Meanwhile, an extraordinary phenomenon takes the world by storm—the Flames of the Divine that appear from mountain tops all around the world. But world leaders reject the prophecy of Angel Rumaia and selfishly propagate their lies about the mountain fires. Worst of all, most people never even realize why these heavenly flames appear on Earth in the first place, and the false explanations of the colluding authorities are convincing enough to keep the fearful multitudes chained to their ignorance…except the Warriors of the Truth. And as a warrior, will Arthur rise to the challenge to realize his ultimate destiny with the help of the messiah or meet his final defeat and lose his one true love?

The Pillar and Ground of the Truth
Author: Pavel Florensky
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 0691187991
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 620
Book Description
Pavel Florensky--certainly the greatest Russian theologian of the last century--is now recognized as one of Russia's greatest polymaths. Known as the Russian Leonardo da Vinci, he became a Russian Orthodox priest in 1911, while remaining deeply involved with the cultural, artistic, and scientific developments of his time. Arrested briefly by the Soviets in 1928, he returned to his scholarly activities until 1933, when he was sentenced to ten years of corrective labor in Siberia. There he continued his scientific work and ministered to his fellow prisoners until his death four years later. This volume is the first English translation of his rich and fascinating defense of Russian Orthodox theology. Originally published in 1914, the book is a series of twelve letters to a "brother" or "friend," who may be understood symbolically as Christ. Central to Florensky's work is an exploration of the various meanings of Christian love, which is viewed as a combination of philia (friendship) and agape (universal love). Florensky is perhaps the first modern writer to explore the so-called "same-sex unions," which, for him, are not sexual in nature. He describes the ancient Christian rites of the adelphopoiesis (brother-making), joining male friends in chaste bonds of love. In addition, Florensky is one of the first thinkers in the twentieth century to develop the idea of the Divine Sophia, who has become one of the central concerns of feminist theologians.

Knowing Our Savior
Author: J.V. Lewis
Publisher: Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.
ISBN: 164028589X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 170
Book Description
The original Christians were called "Christians" in a derogatory way by those who were not Christ's followers. But because Christ's followers didn't object to being called Christians, the name stuck. In many places and times, being identified as a Christian has cost the ultimate price. The question we must ask is, Do we really know our Savior well enough to know that we can trust him with our lives? Do we know him well enough to know that if we are in a situation where serious punishment, maybe even death, is certain that we can trust him and say, "So be it?" Do we really believe that Jesus is the resurrection that he claims to be? Do we believe that, in him, even when we die, it is only the physical body? How well do we know the Savior we are following? The better we know him, the more we come to love, trust, and enjoy his friendship! Jesus knows everything there is to know about you, and he yearns for you to know as much as you can about him! Knowing him means having a real friendship like never before!

The Ile de France and the Golden Age of Transatlantic Travel
Author: Thomas Kepler
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1493053507
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
When the luxury liner Ile de France sailed into New York harbor for the first time in 1927, she brought to America the first great, coordinated example of what the French then called L'Art Moderne. The revolutionary Art Deco interiors found on the Ile de France were unlike anything previously seen on the North Atlantic and set a standard in ocean liner décor for decades to come. Her glittering passenger lists of the 1920s and 1930s were the envy of other shipping lines: Marlene Dietrich, Gloria Swanson, John D. Rockefeller, Buster Keaton, Barbara Hutton, Maurice Chevalier, Will Rogers, Cary Grant, Marie Curie and Arturo Toscanini were but a few of the luminaries that graced its salons. The Ile de France served heroically in World War II as a troopship, and in peacetime came to the rescue of other ships nine times during her career, most notably when she rescued more than 700 survivors from the stricken Andrea Doria following its collision with the Stockholm in 1956. In a last gasp of immortality, the Ile de France appeared in the epic disaster film The Last Voyage standing in for a fictional, stricken liner. Forgetting her ignoble end, the Ile deFrance is still held in awe and reverence both in her native France and by the maritime community worldwide. Although neither the fastest nor the largest liner of her time, one writer said of the Ile de France, “She was handsome without being grand, comfortable without being overstuffed, class-conscious without living by exclusions.” The penchant the Ile de France had for attracting the famous, the talented, the youthful, along with her special chic and verve ensured her place in the pantheon of immortal Atlantic liners.

The Golden Legend
Author: Jacobus de Voragine
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 0691154074
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 811
Book Description
Depicting the lives of the saints in an array of factual and fictional stories, The Golden Legend was perhaps the most widely read book, after the Bible, during the late Middle Ages. It was compiled around 1260 by Jacobus de Voragine, a scholarly friar and later archbishop of Genoa, whose purpose was to captivate, encourage, and edify the faithful, while preserving a vast store of information pertaining to the legends and traditions of the church. In this translation, the first in English of the complete text, William Granger Ryan captures the immediacy of this rich work, which offers an important guide for readers interested in medieval art and literature and, more generally, in popular religious culture. Arranged according to the order of saints' feast days, these fascinating stories are now combined into one volume. This edition also features an introduction by Eamon Duffy contextualizing the work.

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 120
Book Description
Jesus is Victor is a compilation of the only 14 tapes that can be found of A. W. Tozer's 1961 Revelation sermons. Though not a complete study of the entire book, it offers a timely and vivid spiritual lesson to each and every one of us, Instead of trying to interpret the various events of Revelation, Tozer looks at the underlying spiritual lessons of the book, such as: The basic truth that Jesus is Victor The strong message of repentance The holiness of Jesus The wrath of God This book is not a presentation of any certain eschatological view, but a plea for readers to repent. It is A. W. Tozer's desire that all who would pursue the truth of Revelation to be overcomers and rest their faith on the goodness and grace of a loving and just Creator God.
