Download or read book Blue Collar Pillars for Eternity written by Deacon-X and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Incorporated. This book was released on 2018-12-19 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is not important for an author of a Christian book to get recognition from the status quo when dealing with God's Word. For John the Baptist made it plain to future believers when he said, "He must increase, and I must decrease" (John 3:30). Thus, this author's identity will remain as his pen name, Deacon-X, on any books written by him. More important is the message from the sixty-six books contained in the Bible that leads a lost soul from condemnation to justification, to sanctification, and future glorification; all because of repentance and faith in Jesus who died for lost sinners like us that we might have life. This collection of short ministries is not written by a pastor, missionary, or by a Bible college professors, but by an ordinary stiff who worked for sixteen years as an electrician and over thirty-five years as a real estate broker, and who got saved on his last year as a tradesman. Don't expect it to always contain proper grammar, but prayerfully it will contain proper truths from this nameless conservative believer who was taught in the spirit of 2 Timothy 2:2 in a nondenominational gathering by faithful men with shepherds' hearts. This blue collar author was born in September 1946, and born again in September 1979 after hearing the gospel for the first time at the age of thirty-three. In his first ten years as a believer, he attended a denominational gathering and then moved to a nondenominational meeting where all the gifted men shared preaching and teaching. Deacon-X grew and hopefully did his share serving Christ, his church, and his coming kingdom. We hope you enjoy his down to earth blue collar daily conservative approach to the Word of God that will spur you on to delve deeper into the eternal pillars of scripture.

Book excerpt: It is not important for an author of a Christian book to get recognition from the status quo when dealing with God’s Word.

All because Jesus died for lost sinners like you and me, of whom I am chief. This is a book not by a pastor, missionary, or Bible college professor, but an ordinary working stiff who refused to follow God’s leading and settled for second best in the things of Christ for most of my pilgrimage. It took an illness to pry me away from my worldly pursuits and write down and record a few of my old and newer ministry messages on sections of my three favorite Bible books, Genesis, John’s gospel, and Romans. Don’t expect it to contain proper grammar but proper truth from this nameless conservative believer who was taught in the spirit of 2 Timothy 2:2 in a non-denominational gathering.
Download or read book Blue Collar Believer written by Chaplain William H. Schnakenberg IV and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2016-08-24 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is written from a personal coming of age perspective. It shares the many years and stages of a non-believer and the radical transformation to a believer. Though many of the stories can be quite embarrassing for the author at times, he feels it is imperative to share his memories, leaving nothing out, with a no holds barred approach revealing a lifestyle worth of much shame. The transformation is the key to the story, as he is led by the Holy Spirit. As his story develops, life then takes on new meaning and he admires how God works His providence, trusting in His will to be done. Lives can change, as you will see, but that does not mean there wont be opposition. As you will come to learn through Blue Collar Believer, sometimes the biggest obstacles come with the ones you love the most. It takes the reality of life, which is death, and this is the only tool to give the afterlife serious thought. Though we can appeal to the intellect, it is up to the Holy Spirt to convict the heart. As an ambassadors for Christ, we must always be ready for opportunities to defend the gospel, showing love and compassion. We live in a lost and dying world, and if only it were easy to share the Gospel and get a positive response 100% of the time, but as you will see, this just not is the case. Jesus said, He who has ears, let him hear. Unfortunately most ears who hear are deaf, but that does not mean we give up. Persistence and love for the lost can do wonders and all things are possible with God. Journey with Blue Collar Believer, from beginning to end and be guided on a tour with a testimony that will not soon be forgotten. It is an emotional roller coaster, filled with many ups and downs. You will laugh, you will cry, but more importantly, it will get you to think. If you have to see it to believe it, get ready to experience it for yourself through the words of a Blue Collar Believer.

Book excerpt: The riveting first novel in a brand-new paranormal romance series by debut author Brian Feehan, son of legendary #1 New York Times bestselling author Christine Feehan. The We—beings who existed long before humans ever did, filled with powerful magic—walk among us. Owen and Alice are both etherealists—rare humans born with magic who are targets for those We that wish to take it from them. At nine years old and against her will, Alice’s soul was tied to one such powerful and evil We. She escaped and was trained to be a weapon so she might one day break the bond and safely return home. Everything is going to plan…until she meets Owen. Owen is a musician who is trying to outrun his past while keeping those around him safe in an increasingly dangerous world. Owen keeps them on the move until a band of hunters crosses their path. Owen must go home—a place he swore he’d never return to—and seek protection from the We who could destroy them. And then he meets Alice. Only through finding each other do either Alice or Owen have a chance of survival.
Download or read book Alterwall Objectives stories 3 0 written by Garrison Clifford Gibson and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2012-06-05 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alterwall Objectives comprise the collected short stories of Gary Clifford Gibson written generally between 1989 and 2012 with most created during the 90s while living in S.E. Alaska in a non-electrified rural hut. Just Search for the Spirit, Down Mill Road and other works were inspired by several influences from Stonehenge to Newgrange, the Alaska Pulp Corporation and the lack of energy at N.A.S.A. and Congress to develop an electro-magnetic mass driver to launch thousands of tons of space modules from Earth to orbit. Gary also sought for answers to the perennial questions about the lack of political wisdom from generation to generation leading to war instead of low-entropy, progressive space-exploration and ecotopia on Earth. Well-they were good goals for a very part-time writer scribbling a few notes before the Internet era preponderantly when battery power recharged from several miles away via water and trail allowed.
Download or read book House of Eternity written by John K. McDonald and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 1996-11-28 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nefertari, the favorite queen of Rameses II, was buried about 3,200 years ago in the most exquisitely decorated tomb in Egypt's Valley of the Queens. Discovered in 1904 by Italian explorer Ernesto Schiaparelli, the tomb had deteriorated to a disastrous extent when emergency consolidation began in 1986. The six-year conservation project of the GCI and the Egyptian Antiquities Organization was completed in 1992. In this fascinating exploration of the tomb, John McDonald takes the reader through each chamber, describing the hieroglyphic messages depicted in the brilliant wall paintings and discussing the images within the context of Egyptian beliefs. He also offers insights into the life of Nefertari, the development and symbolism of royal tombs, and the construction and decoration of the tombs. House of Eternity is illustrated with historic black-and-white images and more recent color photographs that reveal the vibrant beauty of the wall paintings. In November 1995 the tomb was reopened to the public. Because of the potential for damage and deterioration to the fragile wall paintings caused by increased humidity, carbon dioxide, and microbiological activity introduced by visitors to the tomb, the number permitted to enter daily is strictly controlled by the Egyptian authorities. This book results from a desire of the GCI to enrich visitors' experience by providing a detailed descriptive walk-through of the tomb while conveying a strong message regarding the need for conservation and continuous monitoring to ensure the long-term survival of the tomb's paintings. Visitors to the tomb and the armchair traveler alike will find House of Eternity to be an excellent resource for understanding Nefertari's journey to the afterlife and for appreciating the extraordinary depictions of that journey on the walls of Nefertari's tomb.

Download or read book Everything You Always Wanted to Know About God but were afraid to ask written by Eric Metaxas and published by WaterBrook. This book was released on 2009-01-21 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who doesn’t have questions about God? But where in the world can you go to get answers? Eric Metaxas has been there, so he gets it. Which is why he’s written this shockingly down-to-earth book on the big questions everyone asks (but not always out loud). Totally conversational and sometimes flat-out hilarious, this book asks: * 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? These questions (and many more) get no-nonsense answers that don’t hide behind dull theological language. So get the lowdown (and more than a few laughs) on what are probably the most important questions anyone has.
Download or read book Bullshit Jobs written by David Graeber and published by Simon & Schuster. This book was released on 2019-05-07 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From bestselling writer David Graeber—“a master of opening up thought and stimulating debate” (Slate)—a powerful argument against the rise of meaningless, unfulfilling jobs…and their consequences. Does your job make a meaningful contribution to the world? In the spring of 2013, David Graeber asked this question in a playful, provocative essay titled “On the Phenomenon of Bullshit Jobs.” It went viral. After one million online views in seventeen different languages, people all over the world are still debating the answer. There are hordes of people—HR consultants, communication coordinators, telemarketing researchers, corporate lawyers—whose jobs are useless, and, tragically, they know it. These people are caught in bullshit jobs. Graeber explores one of society’s most vexing and deeply felt concerns, indicting among other villains a particular strain of finance capitalism that betrays ideals shared by thinkers ranging from Keynes to Lincoln. “Clever and charismatic” (The New Yorker), Bullshit Jobs gives individuals, corporations, and societies permission to undergo a shift in values, placing creative and caring work at the center of our culture. This book is for everyone who wants to turn their vocation back into an avocation and “a thought-provoking examination of our working lives” (Financial Times).
Download or read book Vanity Fair 100 Years written by Graydon Carter and published by ABRAMS. This book was released on 2013-10-15 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vanity Fair 100 Years showcases a century of personality and power, art and commerce, crisis and culture—both highbrow and low—in this collection of images that graced the pages of magazine, and some published for the very first time. From its inception in 1913, through the Jazz Age and the Depression, to its reincarnation in the boom-boom Reagan years, to the image-saturated Information Age, Vanity Fair has presented the modern era as it has unfolded, using wit, imagination, peerless literary narrative, and bold, groundbreaking imagery from the greatest photographers, artists, and illustrators of the day. Edited by Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter, this sumptuous book takes a decade-by-decade look at the world as seen by the magazine, stopping to describe the incomparable editor Frank Crowninshield and the birth of the Jazz Age Vanity Fair, the magazine’s controversial rebirth in 1983, and the history of the glamorous Vanity Fair Oscar Party. “The book is a stunning artifact that begets staring, less for the words and publishing industry than as an exercise in visual storytelling reflected through the prism of society and celebrity. The best photographers, the best designers, the best illustrators all came together over Vanity Fair’s contents, and the book unfolds in page after page of stunningly rendered images, some iconic and some that never even ran.” —New York Times Book Review

Book excerpt: Ken Follett's extraordinary historical epic, the Century Trilogy, reaches its sweeping, passionate conclusion. In Fall of Giants and Winter of the World, Ken Follett followed the fortunes of five international families—American, German, Russian, English, and Welsh—as they made their way through the twentieth century. Now they come to one of the most tumultuous eras of all: the 1960s through the 1980s, from civil rights, assassinations, mass political movements, and Vietnam to the Berlin Wall, the Cuban Missile Crisis, presidential impeachment, revolution—and rock and roll. East German teacher Rebecca Hoffmann discovers she’s been spied on by the Stasi for years and commits an impulsive act that will affect her family for the rest of their lives. . . . George Jakes, the child of a mixed-race couple, bypasses a corporate law career to join Robert F. Kennedy's Justice Department and finds himself in the middle of not only the seminal events of the civil rights battle but a much more personal battle of his own. . . . Cameron Dewar, the grandson of a senator, jumps at the chance to do some official and unofficial espionage for a cause he believes in, only to discover that the world is a much more dangerous place than he'd imagined. . . . Dimka Dvorkin, a young aide to Nikita Khrushchev, becomes an agent both for good and for ill as the United States and the Soviet Union race to the brink of nuclear war, while his twin sister, Tanya, carves out a role that will take her from Moscow to Cuba to Prague to Warsaw—and into history.
