Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a Bible-based account of what Jesus reclaimed for humanity at the cross as a result of the fall of Adam in the Garden of Eden, intending to understand God's purpose for creation, man's purpose, his responsibilities, freewill, and the noetic effects of sin. The book is interestingly put together to make the reader understand that God as eternal King, perfect in His creation, deliberately handed to Adam the garden of Eden (a kingdom) to dominate it and everything in it. But most unfortunate, a rival kingdom emerges in the serpent (Satan) and sadly humanity lost all its entitlements as God originally meant it to be. And from then on death became an inevitable reality, and all creation was subject to it, no one is immune to it. Worst still, any soul that dies without Christ, will experience eternal death. The Bible says, "the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 6:23). In the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve had a perfect relationship with God. but that relationship and union were broken when they rebelled against Him. They became aware of their sin and were ashamed before Him. They hid from Him (Genesis 3:8-10), and man has been hiding from God ever since. Hence the need for a redeemer who would restore mankind to its original state of communion with God became imminent. Because to God, love is the core of all morality and goodness. And the opposite is the choice of selfishness, which is the main reason for the Fall. Mankind lost sight of the highest purpose for which it were created. And the bible recorded that the "whole creation groans" (Romans 8:22), waiting for when Christ will return to liberate it from the cruel hand of death. However, God in His infinite mercy and love for mankind made a path for restoration through the atonement of the perfect blood of His only begotten son Jesus Christ. Because it is only through Jesus's righteousness that God can see us as righteous and sinless just as Adam and Eve were before they disobeyed and sinned. Romans 5:19 says, "For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous". The book also discusses what humanity lost at the fall as a result of Adam and Eve's selfish choice, which was by extension imputed to their descendants. God's purpose in allowing man's spiritual death was based on His love, justice and purpose and was a rational and loving response to Adam's sin which will ultimately lead to redemption. Because without the supernatural regeneration by the Holy Spirit, all men would remain in their fallen state. But in His grace, mercy and loving-kindness, God sent His Son to die on the cross and take the penalty of our sin, reconciling us to God and making eternal life with Him possible. That is the grace we enjoy today as regenerated and born-again children of God. The book further emphasizes God's original intention for mankind, giving a proper understanding of God, his purpose, his justice, his unmerited mercy, grace, and his love. The book also establishes the "work" that Jesus had to accomplish, that is: to restore mankind to its original status; to redeem humanity from the penalty of sin; to reconcile humanity back to fellowship with God; to restore humanity to a state of glory by giving them His righteousness as a gift of His amazing love and grace, and to restore man's communion, dominion, and rulership over earth, freedom from the kingdom of darkness under Satan's control, restoring righteousness, fellowship and relationship with God, particularly that which concerns the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross, that makes salvation and eternity for believers possible. All these and many more are what you will gain insight into as you read this book. As you read this book, may the Holy Spirit give you more insight.

Download or read book The True Revelation of Jesus Christ written by Desmond Teddy and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2016-07-08 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is written to assist Jews, Muslims, atheists and mostly Christians in gaining a more comprehensive and accurate knowledge and understanding about Jesus Christ. The overwhelming weight of evidence placed on Jesus in this work as Lord and Savior of the universe is far greater than what the Quran narrates or what the Jew can accommodate. The evidence is so strong and so clear, that it gives understanding to the atheist and boosts up the knowledge of the reader about Jesus Christ, who is 100 percent man and 100 percent God. The journey from the original plan of God for man to the end of time is explained with examples of incompatibility between the Bible and the Quran. Thus, the reader is brought to a deeper knowledge of the Biblical inerrancy concerning the Godhead of the Bible and the great rescue plan of the Creator of the universe through Jesus Christ. You will find thrilling information which will kick your socks off and keep your mind and spirit in balance as you continue to read. I would say it is food for thought to change your life for the better.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On a pier in Marseille in 1942, with desperate refugees pressing to board one of the last ships to escape France before the Nazis choked off its ports, an 18-year-old German Jewish girl was pried from the arms of the Catholic Frenchman she loved and promised to marry. As the Lipari carried Janine and her family to Casablanca on the first leg of a perilous journey to safety in Cuba, she would read through her tears the farewell letter that Roland had slipped in her pocket: “Whatever the length of our separation, our love will survive it, because it depends on us alone. I give you my vow that whatever the time we must wait, you will be my wife. Never forget, never doubt.” Five years later – her fierce desire to reunite with Roland first obstructed by war and then, in secret, by her father and brother – Janine would build a new life in New York with a dynamic American husband. That his obsession with Ayn Rand tormented their marriage was just one of the reasons she never ceased yearning to reclaim her lost love. Investigative reporter Leslie Maitland grew up enthralled by her mother’s accounts of forbidden romance and harrowing flight from the Nazis. Her book is both a journalist’s vivid depiction of a world at war and a daughter’s pursuit of a haunting question: what had become of the handsome Frenchman whose picture her mother continued to treasure almost fifty years after they parted? It is a tale of memory that reporting made real and a story of undying love that crosses the borders of time.

Download or read book Imaginary Homelands written by Salman Rushdie and published by Penguin. This book was released on 1992-05-01 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Read every page of this book; better still, re-read them. The invocation means no hardship, since every true reader must surely be captivated by Rushdie’s masterful invention and ease, the flow of wit and insight and passion. How literature of the highest order can serve the interests of our common humanity is freshly illustrated here: a defence of his past, a promise for the future, and a surrender to nobody or nothing whatever except his own all-powerful imagination.”-Michael Foot, Observer Salman Rushdie’s Imaginary Homelands is an important record of one writer’s intellectual and personal odyssey. The seventy essays collected here, written over the last ten years, cover an astonishing range of subjects –the literature of the received masters and of Rushdie’s contemporaries; the politics of colonialism and the ironies of culture; film, politicians, the Labour Party, religious fundamentalism in America, racial prejudice; and the preciousness of the imagination and of free expression. For this paperback edition, the author has written a new essay to mark the third anniversary of the fatwa.

Download or read book Saints and Their Miracles in Late Antique Gaul written by Raymond Van Dam and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2011-11-12 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Saints' cults, with their focus on miraculous healings and pilgrimages, were not only a distinctive feature of Christian religion in fifth-and sixth-century Gaul but also a vital force in political and social life. Here Raymond Van Dam uses accounts of miracles performed by SS. Martin, Julian, and Hilary to provide a vivid and comprehensive depiction of some of the most influential saints' cults. Viewed within the context of ongoing tensions between paganism and Christianity and between Frankish kings and bishops, these cults tell much about the struggle for authority, the forming of communities, and the concept of sin and redemption in late Roman Gaul. Van Dam begins by describing the origins of the three cults, and discusses the career of Bishop Gregory of Tours, who benefited from the support of various patron saints and in turn promoted their cults. He then treats the political and religious dimensions of healing miracles--including their relation to Catholic theology and their use by bishops to challenge royal authority--and of pilgrimages to saints' shrines. The miracle stories, collected mainly by Gregory of Tours, appear in their first complete English translations.

Download or read book Viewing Inscriptions in the Late Antique and Medieval World written by Antony Eastmond and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2015-04-20 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inscriptions convey meaning not just by their contents but also by other means, such as choice of script, location, scale, spatial organisation, letterform, legibility and clarity. The essays in this book consider these visual qualities of inscriptions, ranging across the Mediterranean and the Near East from Spain to Iran and beyond, including Norman Sicily, Islamic North Africa, Byzantium, medieval Italy, Georgia and Armenia. While most essays focus on Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages, they also look back at Achaemenid Iran and forward to Mughal India. Topics discussed include real and pseudo-writing, multilingual inscriptions, graffiti, writing disguised as images and images disguised as words. From public texts set up on mountainsides or on church and madrasa walls to intimate craftsmen's signatures, barely visible on the undersides of precious objects, the inscriptions discussed in this volume reveal their meanings as textual and visual devices.

Download or read book Theatre and the English Public from Reformation to Revolution written by Katrin Beushausen and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-04-05 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents new and overarching perspectives on the relationship between theatre and public from the Henrician Reformation through the interregnum to the Restoration, combining vivid case studies with discussion of theatre's continued importance in shaping the early modern public. Considered from the vantage point of theatre, the early modern public becomes visible as an unruly agent of political change, a force that authorities both feared and appealed to, and one that proved ultimately beyond control. It was through theatrical strategies that rulers and their opposition addressed the early modern public, and in turn it was theatre's public potential that shaped the development of the stage during the revolutionary years of the seventeenth century. In this volume, Katrin Beushausen examines sources including irreverent satirical pamphlets, regal spectacles, anti-theatrical polemic and visions of state theatres, casting new light on the development of the early modern public and theatre.

Download or read book Wreck Recovery In Britain written by Peter J Moran and published by After the Battle. This book was released on 2018-10-30 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whereas on the Continent, the Missing Research and Enquiry Unit left no stone unturned to try to trace the thousands of airmen who still remained missing, strangely enough no similar operation was carried out by the RAF on crash sites in the United Kingdom. Many of these still contained the mortal remains of pilots whose names had been added to the Memorial to the Missing unveiled at Runnymede in 1953. It is difficult to understand today how it took so long for the realization to sink in that aircraft wreckage still remained buried. When it did, there followed what can only be described as an unholy scramble to find crash sites and dig them up, heavy plant being employed to make it easier and quicker. At the height of this unfettered exploration period during the 1970s, there were over 30 ‘aviation archaeology’ groups at work, particularly in the counties of Essex, Kent and Sussex. Unrecovered human remains were now being found which understandably raised criticism from some quarters. Inevitably order had to be restored and the Ministry of Defence stepped in with a ‘code of conduct’ for digging up crashed aircraft, a measure that was reinforced by an Act of Parliament in 1986. Thereafter a process was introduced whereby the Ministry issued licenses before a wreck site could be excavated, and every license application, whether granted or refused, is listed for the first time in this book.
