Download or read book Bible Stories Your Parents Never Taught You written by Michael Scott Earl and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2012-09-01 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There exists in the world today a nearly universal presumption that the Holy Bible is a “good” book. This presumption is reinforced all around us. Bible versus are etched into the walls of our national monuments. Churches operate tax exempt. Even the President of the United States takes his oath of office with one hand planted firmly on a copy of the Bible. But this presumption is false, argues Michael Scott Earl. In his book, Bible Stories Your Parents Never Taught You, Mr. Earl makes his case by exposing us to story after story of looting, murder, genocide, torture, slavery -- moral atrocities that have largely failed to register in the public mind. Earl argues that an awareness of these atrocities is important because it enables us to see the Bible as a motivating force behind many of history's most violent and brutal episodes. Bible Stories Your Parents Never Taught You is a 'shock and awe' campaign against the presumed moral irreproachability of the Holy Bible. It is a much needed dose of moral clarity in an age of religious confusion and godly violence.

Download or read book Who Me Yes You written by Roy Good and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2019-10-18 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You have heard these stories over and over again. But - since we know the stories so well, it may be hard for us to really put ourselves in the shoes of the story teller. For instance, what thoughts raced through Joseph’s mind when he was hustled out of prison early one morning? Certainly not that he was about to become Pharoah’s right-hand man.While these characters tell their stories as they may have happened in their time (with some hopefully sanctified imagination added) they are able to jump across the centuries to tell them to us in our time and setting. So they may quote a song that is found in one of our hymn books. Or we will hear Jonah tell his listeners to “Fasten your seatbelts, we’re going for a ride.” These are real stories of real people (and a few animals) who faced real dilemmas and real temptations. Sometimes they make wrong choices. But God is able to show His strength in our weakness. To turn our sorrow into joy. He can accomplish His purposes in spite of our failures. May God use these stories for our encouragement. Hebrews 12:1.2.

Jon Tyson lays out a clear path for fathers and sons that includes specific activities, rites of passage, and significant "marking moments" that can be customized to fit any family.

Download or read book Language Hacking Spanish written by Benny Lewis and published by Teach Yourself. This book was released on 2017-03-28 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's true that some people spend years studying Spanish before they finally get around to speaking the language. But here's a better idea. Skip the years of study and jump right to the speaking part. Sound crazy? No, it's language hacking. Unlike most traditional language courses that try to teach you the rules of Spanish, #LanguageHacking shows you how to learn and speak Italian through proven memory techniques, unconventional shortcuts and conversation strategies perfected by one of the world's greatest language learners, Benny Lewis, aka the Irish Polyglot. Using the language hacks -shortcuts that make learning simple - that Benny mastered while learning his 11 languages and his 'speak from the start' method, you will crack the language code and exponentially increase your language abilities so that you can get fluent faster. It's not magic. It's not a language gene. It's not something only "other people" can do. It's about being smart with how you learn, learning what's indispensable, skipping what's not, and using what you've learned to have real conversations in Spanish from day one. The Method #LanguageHacking takes a modern approach to language learning, blending the power of online social collaboration with traditional methods. It focuses on the conversations that learners need to master right away, rather than presenting language in order of difficulty like most courses. This means that you can have conversations immediately, not after years of study. Each of the 10 units culminates with a speaking 'mission' that prepares you to use the language you've learned to talk about yourself. Through the language hacker online learner community, you can share your personalized speaking 'missions' with other learners - getting and giving feedback and extending your learning beyond the pages of the book . You don't need to go abroad to learn a language any more.
