Everything You Always Wanted to Know About God (but were afraid to ask)
By Eric Metaxas. 2005
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Bonhoeffer, Miracles, and If You Can Keep ItWe all have questions…
about God. But very few of us get the answers we’re looking for–if those answers even exist! Do they? Where (in heaven’s name) do you go to find out? Eric Metaxas understands. That’s why he’s written this refreshingly down-to-earth take on the big questions everyone asks (but not always out loud). Finally a book that takes questions about God seriously enough to get silly (where appropriate). Wonderfully conversational and often very funny, this book joins you in wondering: ·How can a good God create a world that has evil and suffering? ·Is God anti-sex? ·Doesn’t science make God obsolete? ·What’s the real story on miracles? ·If God is everywhere, why go to church? ·Don’t we already have God within us? ·Isn’t God too busy running the universe to care about the details of my day? ·What does the Bible say about things like UFOs, ESP, and the afterlife–and what about Bigfoot? These questions (and many more like them) get straight answers that don’t hide behind dull and confusing theological language. So get the lowdown on the big questions everyone asks–but please try not to laugh (because it’s a very serious topic).Of Other Worlds: Essays and Stories

which they debate the role of an author’s biography in the critical appraisal of literature.C. S. Lewis—the great British writer, scholar, lay theologian, broadcaster, Christian apologist, and bestselling author of Mere Christianity, The Screwtape Letters, The Great Divorce, The Chronicles of Narnia, and many other beloved classics—challenges fellow scholar E. M. W. Tillyard on one of the most intriguing questions involving writers and writing. Is a work of imaginative literature primarily influenced by the author or by the subject matter? Lewis argues that the author’s own personality and biography has little to no impact on the writing, while Tillyard contends the opposite: that the author’s own imagination and story have an indelible influence on a piece of work. Clever, erudite, and enlightening, their debate may not definitively settle the issue, but it does offer invaluable insight and intellectual delight for all dedicated readers.The Dark Tower: And Other Stories

Most evil priest that operates in household witchcraft and build demonic alters are hired and paid to destroy innocent people. We see in the bible that the children of Israel had been prospering and walking in dominion. They were possessing their possessions and doing well. So a king hired an evil prophet to prophesy against them and curse them! This prophet understanding spiritual things therefore prepared the perfect altar. When he tried to curse God's people his altar did not work because sin was not found in the people of God. This evil prophet did not give up. He prepared a perfect altar two more times to carry his wicked schemes. In this book you will discover: * If your name is on a demonic alter * If whatever is happening in your house is from household witchcraft * If you are under a demonic curse * And the answer to destroy demonic alters and shattered household witchcraft Be bless and I declare and pray that every demonic altar that has risen against you to cause sickness and death in your life will be shattered in the name of Jesus and I command it to break in pieces. Every Demonic altar that has risen against your success, against your children, every demonic altar of poverty that has risen against your finances and your household I now decree destroyed by the power of the name of Jesus Christ our risen savior.Practical Spirituality: Reflections on the Spiritual Basis of Nonviolent Communication

By Denis Walsh. 2007

emphasis on promoting evidence-based or effective care without the unnecessary use of technologies and drugs, intervention rates in childbirth are rising rapidly. Evidence-based Care for Normal Labour and Birthbrings to light much of the evidence around what works best for normal birth which has, until now, remained largely hidden and ignored by maternity care professionals. Beginning with the decision about where to have a baby, through all the phases of labour to the immediate post-birth period, it systematically details research and other evidence sources that endorse a low intervention approach. The book: highlights where the evidence is compelling discusses its application where women question its relevance to them and where the practitioner's expertise leads them to challenge it gives background and context before discussing the research to date includes questions for reflection and practice recommendations generated from the evidence. Using research data, Evidence-based Care for Normal Labour and Birthcritiques institutionalised, scientifically managed birth and endorses a more humane midwifery-led model. Packed with up-to-date and relevant information, this controversial book will help all students, practising midwives and doulas keep abreast of the evidence surrounding normal birth and ensure their practice takes full advantage of it.Our Pristine Mind
