Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Beginning around the middle of the last century when, after centuries of colonization, Jamaica began moving to cut its ties to England, many Jamaicans, especially those of the old establishment, became nervous about the island's future and their place in a newly constituted sovereign state. During two decades following Independence, their fears-real or imagined-were either realized or seemed about to be. In either case, the alternative for them was to leave or prepare to leave the island, with the hope of finding a continuation of their former lives abroad. A generation of them did, some with more difficulty than others, but until they departed Jamaica, they were exiles at home. The five pieces in this book are fictional stories. The first four are set in Jamaica; the fifth, in anticipation of the main theme, is set in England.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - The greatest fear of the Christian parent is that his or her children are not walking in the truth and, consequently, will unwillingly self-inflict much pain and sorrow on themselves becoming trapped by the pitfalls of life. Your journey in life will be determined by the choices in your youth. Basing those choices on truth, rather than on perception, determines the quality of that journey, as well as choosing the final destination. There is no reset button in life. Avoiding the pitfalls of life takes wisdom-wisdom not of this world. The key to avoiding, and worse yet, causing a disaster in your life is to develop a keen eye for any signs of trouble. Watch Your Step! Barefoot in a Broken-Glass World helps the reader identify and avoid the pitfalls as identified by Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived. He had profound insights into the fallen nature of man. Solomon's intent for the book of Proverbs was teaching young people the tactical skill of biblical wisdom. The purpose for Proverbs is to equip us with divine wisdom. Possessing this wisdom will bring the most success in this life, and minimize the negative effects of living in a fallen world. Watch your step-you never know from one moment to the next what challenges in your life await you. After all, we are all born barefoot in a broken-glass world.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - In Walking with the Master , John reveals Jesus through His teachings and His conversations with the people around Him. Jesus consistently points towards a reality that extends far beyond what we can see, touch, feel, or even imagine; a reality that reaches unto eternity. He poses the questions: What is our world view How are we investing our lives Are we part of the world that says we only live once, so enjoy it Or do we believe that there is more, much more Jesus, the author of life itself, came to prove to us by word and deed that there is more to life than is apparent to the senses.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - The author has been a Christian since his youth. Upon discovering a love for science in grade school, he pursued that interest throughout his entire life. Sadly, he found disagreement and conflict between the 'Christian only' and 'Science only' viewpoints. Since he was both a Christian and a scientist, he had to resolve in his mind these differences for his own spiritual and scientific well being. For more than sixty years, he has carefully formulated the words and concepts in this book that he hopes and prays will help others reach an understanding that both the Bible and the discoveries in science are true and reconcilable. God does not lie to us or mislead us. God is responsible for both His Bible and His Creation. Thus, any conflicts we find in the study of these two revelations from God result from our inability to interpret and understand properly either one or the other, or some of each. To more fully understand God, one must study both God's words (the Bible) and the scientific discoveries of the 'footprints and fingerprints' He left during the creation process that we are now able to find and interpret. We must correlate His words and His works to more fully understand Him. We must always be aware that our first impressions may not be entirely correct and that we must always continue to compare all our findings and interpretations with each other in an effort to seek and achieve the greater truth.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Perhaps due to my ageor maybe due to my everyday effort to raise my childrenI began to realize the beauty and expectations of the verse John 3:16.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - In this book, you will find an insightful look into several subjects and ideas, things you find in the everyday as well as the deeply philosophical, presented in a way you may never have heard before. In our time, we often find ourselves on one extreme or the other, politically, ideologically, religiously, making relationships difficult. This book attempts to tackle some of the things hiding behind these differences in an attempt to find cohesion rather than dispute. Another issue in our time is the way authority often behaves and our reaction to it. Teachers often tell us what to think, rather than how to think. We are told to believe something, not because we ve been told why it s believable but simply because they say so. Our reaction has been blunt, brutal honesty, as well as skepticism. A decent response to make, though it additionally separates us from one another. This book is an attempt to do some right where much has gone wrong, discussing ideas rather than forcing ideologies. Come away from this book with lots of new ideas and much to ponder. …

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Jesus told His disciples not to leave Jerusalem without the Spirit's power. That same power to heal the sick and cast out demons is still relevant and available to every Christian who believes. From his thirty years of experience, W.K. Alsop answers such questions as: Is the baptism in the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues for every believer today Is there a difference between the Spirit's baptism and the gifts of different kinds of tongues, the interpretation of tongues, and prophecy Why is there so much controversy in the body of Christ over this experience What are the benefits that come from this experience of the Spirit's baptism What is the power that I should expect to receive from this experience The Holy Spirit desires to release this spiritual power through you as he did with the believers in the 1st century. Now is the time for you to pick up His mantle and demonstrate the power of the Holy Spirit in the 21st century. …

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Satan's hold on men through pornography has been well-documented and addressed in Christian circles in recent years. But what about women How does the enemy of our souls snare the feminine sex What men do physically, women do emotionally. In many of our homes, women spend countless hours on movies, books, social media, texting, fantasizing, and inappropriate relationships. If Satan cannot get us to take part in evil, he delights in saturating our minds with it. Even when we are wise enough to avoid directly participating in immorality, the mental and emotional impact of that saturation can unfold in hurt, disappointment, and broken marriages. Emotional purity is just as important as physical purity, because ultimately, it is a reflection of our hearts. Nothing Gray About It: Emotional Purity Before a Holy God presents our battle plan for applying the power of Proverbs 4:23: 'Guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.'.…
