Book Description
The Cosmic Crusaders find themselves on a truly strange world--a misfit planet that seems mysteriously cursed. Instead of evolving naturally from birth to death, it's a world out of step with the universe, leaping ahead into the future at unexpected moments. With each 50-year "step," much of the population dies, and the young replace them as middle-aged individuals. The Crusaders are suspicious that the adviser to the planet ruler is actually an alien from another world, and is causing the constant time dislocations for nefarious purposes. But when he traps the Golden Amazon and her three companions, sending their spaceship crashing onto a neighboring world dominated by huge, dinosaur-like creatures, the Crusaders appear to have met their match. Another stirring sci-fi adventure by a master storyteller!

In Sync with the Sacred, Out of Step with the World
Author: Tom Stella
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 134
Book Description
What does it mean to live "in sync with the sacred?" For Tom Stella it means living an authentic life. It means stepping to the cadence of the sacred, which requires a specific type of courage: the courage to be different, to stand out, to be odd and perhaps even considered a threat by those who find their identity, comfort, and security in the status quo, the conventional. The good news is that we can do this while conducting our everyday lives. Unlike Thoreau, who felt he had to retreat to Walden Pond "to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach," we don't have to retreat to the woods. According to Stella, authenticity is first and foremost a matter of being attuned and responsive to the sacred within--to an instinct, an intuition, a sixth sense, a deep voiceless voice that can be "heard" even in a crowd. This inner guide may at times call us to live apart from others, but it surely summons us to follow a road less traveled; that is to turn away from the conventional wisdom of society, those ways of thinking, believing, and behaving that go unquestioned--busy is good, more is better, success equals wealth. Welcome to a refreshing version of spirituality.

Out of Step
Author: Gisela Dewees
Publisher: DeForest Press
ISBN: 9781930374126
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 292
Book Description
Not all Germans acquiesced to the power and terror of Hitler and the Third Reich in WWII Germany, and not all Protestants were, as Hitler once remarked to his confidants, "insignificant little people, submissive as dogs, and they sweat with embarrassment when you talk to them." A few stood up because they believed their faith demanded it. The Resistance was, at times, a family action. Gisela Harnisch was the teenage daughter of Pastor Wilhelm Harnisch, an active member with those who opposed Hitler's state church. This is the story, told by Gisela, as she matured into womanhood and struggled with her family to do what was right rather than what was safe. This was a family who knew what it was in the 1930s and 1940s to be out of step in Germany. "This is a well-written and haunting memoir that conveys how Nazism affected the personal lives of those who opposed it. A fascinating figure, Pastor Wilhelm Harnisch was a stubborn opponent of the Nazi regime and its church allies and suffered the consequences of that throughout his ministry. Gisela Dewees's account of her father's actions and her own life gives the human, personal side of this important period of history." (Victoria Barnett, Coeditor, Dietrich Bonhoeffer Works, English edition.

Knowing God
Author: Frank Sheed
Publisher: Ignatius Press
ISBN: 1681492873
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 326
Book Description
Atheists deny we can know God because they deny there is a God to know. But even believers who affirm God's existence sometimes don't know him. They don't know much about God because they neglect to think much about God and what God has revealed about himself. They accept that there is a God but they don't give much thought to what God is like. And even if they know a great deal about God in the sense of being able to state truths about him, they don't necessarily know him personally and intimately. In Knowing God (previously titled God and the Human Mind) the great Catholic writer, teacher, and publisher Frank Sheed helps readers to know that God exists, to think about who and what God is, and to know God personally. He clears away popular misunderstandings of God, often held by otherwise knowledgeable people. A masterful, lucid writer, Sheed is not timid about tackling the most challenging questions the human mind can pose about God, yet he does not reduce divine mystery to dry propositions or neglect the necessity of faith. Sheed acknowledges the limits of human words and human minds when it comes to God. At the same time, he carefully explains the meaning of Spirit, the role of theology and revelation, including the place of the Bible in the Church, and the experience of God in mysticism. In the final section, Sheed goes into the heart of the mystery of God, exploring God as the Trinity and the difference the Trinity should make in understanding God and ourselves.
