Download or read book The Wake up Call written by Madu De Silva and published by Austin Macauley Publishers. This book was released on 2024-05-24 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if the world had never been tainted by sin and evil? What if Adam and Eve had resisted the temptation of the forbidden fruit? How would our history and faith have been different? Would we still have needed God, or would God still have wanted us, in such a perfect world? Now, imagine attaining immortality, defying the graceful ageing and inevitable death. You find yourself in an Eden-like setting where your sole duty is to sing praises for the creator, living forever with no sin, no emotions, no physical form, and no attachments except for the service of God. The allure of eternal life, as depicted in various religious texts, often presents an image of endless existence in a paradise-like setting. However, the reality of such an existence may not be as idyllic as it first appears. Imagine, for instance, your favourite meal. The first taste is a revelation, the hundredth still delightful. But the thousandth? The millionth? Even the most divine delicacies could become mundane. Similarly, consider a favourite song or a beloved film. Repeated endlessly, even these could lose their charm. In an eternal life, where each day mirrors the last, the pleasures we savour in our mortal lives could become tedious. Compare this with our finite existence, shaped by time. Each day brings a new opportunity, every encounter could change our lives, and every challenge helps us grow. Growing old, often seen negatively, is a mark of our wisdom and experience. The beauty of ageing is a tribute to life itself. At some point, whether you are a devout cleric or a God-fearing layman, you have wondered about questions that challenge your beliefs, your interpretation of the Bible, and what you have learned. The Wake-Up Call invites you to explore the Bible from a completely new angle. It’s not a demand to change what you believe, but to learn things from a different perspective. The readers who accept this invitation will find it rewarding, and I promise you a delightful journey. This book is not just a critique of God, the Bible, and Abrahamic religions. It’s a reflection of our convictions, a challenge to look beyond the obvious, and a call to question the unquestionable. Are you courageous enough to answer the call? Are you prepared for the shock of the new insight? If so, open the book and start your journey. The road may be tough, but the rewards are priceless. This is your wake-up call. Will you heed it? The choice is yours.

You are on a journey just as I have been. Answering God's Wake-up Call (2013) chronicles 100 days of my journey with the Holy Spirit - a journey that landed me in Antigua. Shared with readers are events, days, prayers, poems, thoughts that represent a very real walk with God. An emphasis is placed on obedience and listening for God and to God. This book picks up in some ways where Yes, God, I'm Listening (2002) left off. As we all know, it is one thing to listen - it is many times more important to be obedient. And we are called to tell others of our experiences. When you get the wake-up call, what will you do? Hit the snooze and roll over? It's a journey! Don't miss the call!! This book is for you. From the rising of the sun to the going down of the same, His name is to be praised. Regina Vincent Clark,Ed.D., says she felt called or sent to Antigua, West Indies in 2010 – the same time that she began formally documenting journal entries which, within a year, would become the basis for this book. Dr. Clark’s experience of employment and community outreach were as much a part of her journey as the personal relationships formed with individuals in Antigua and her eye-opening experience of coming to know the Holy Spirit as a person, a friend, a guide, and a dependable confidante. ....The life story is clearly a testimony that where God guides, He provides many opportunities to us to be used as a Blessing to others.

Download or read book The Beginning of Politics written by Moshe Halbertal and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2019-06-18 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Book of Samuel is universally acknowledged as one of the supreme achievements of biblical literature. Yet the book's anonymous author was more than an inspired storyteller. The author was also an uncannily astute observer of political life and the moral compromises and contradictions that the struggle for power inevitably entails. The Beginning of Politics mines the story of Israel's first two kings to unearth a natural history of power, providing a forceful new reading of what is arguably the first and greatest work of Western political thought. Moshe Halbertal and Stephen Holmes show how the beautifully crafted narratives of Saul and David cut to the core of politics, exploring themes that resonate wherever political power is at stake. Through stories such as Saul's madness, David's murder of Uriah, the rape of Tamar, and the rebellion of Absalom, the book's author deepens our understanding not only of the necessity of sovereign rule but also of its costs--to the people it is intended to protect and to those who wield it. What emerges from the meticulous analysis of these narratives includes such themes as the corrosive grip of power on those who hold and compete for power; the ways in which political violence unleashed by the sovereign on his own subjects is rooted in the paranoia of the isolated ruler and the deniability fostered by hierarchical action through proxies; and the intensity with which the tragic conflict between political loyalty and family loyalty explodes when the ruler's bloodline is made into the guarantor of the all-important continuity of sovereign power.--

Download or read book Three Times I Pleaded written by Michael Cranford and published by . This book was released on 2018-07-11 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in a culture and a time when we're less willing than ever to accept that losses can lead to blessings and that God uses adversity to change us in ways that are essential for his work. As a consequence, we see very little of God's power in our lives or in the church. But each of us has the potential to let the Spirit work in and through the difficulties we face to change us and reflect his power in ways we can scarcely dream of, and produce an outworking of joy and peace that will carry us through the greatest of difficulties without fear. This book is intended to unravel God's plan and your potential to have that kind of life. Three Times I Pleaded includes study questions for each chapter that can be used for personal study or group discussion.
Download or read book Call for the Dead written by John le Carré and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2012-10-02 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first of his peerless novels of Cold War espionage and international intrigue, Call for the Dead is also the debut of John le Carré's masterful creation George Smiley. "Go back to Whitehall and look for more spies on your drawing boards." George Smiley is no one's idea of a spy—which is perhaps why he's such a natural. But Smiley apparently made a mistake. After a routine security interview, he concluded that the affable Samuel Fennan had nothing to hide. Why, then, did the man from the Foreign Office shoot himself in the head only hours later? Or did he? The heart-stopping tale of intrigue that launched both novelist and spy, Call for the Dead is an essential introduction to le Carré's chillingly amoral universe.
Download or read book The Reality Game written by Samuel Woolley and published by PublicAffairs. This book was released on 2020-01-07 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fake news posts and Twitter trolls were just the beginning. What will happen when misinformation moves from our social media feeds into our everyday lives? Online disinformation stormed our political process in 2016 and has only worsened since. Yet as Samuel Woolley shows in this urgent book, it may pale in comparison to what's to come: humanlike automated voice systems, machine learning, "deepfake" AI-edited videos and images, interactive memes, virtual reality, and more. These technologies have the power not just to manipulate our politics, but to make us doubt our eyes and ears and even feelings. Deeply researched and compellingly written, The Reality Game describes the profound impact these technologies will have on our lives. Each new invention built without regard for its consequences edges us further into this digital dystopia. Yet Woolley does not despair. Instead, he argues pointedly for a new culture of innovation, one built around accountability and especially transparency. With social media dragging us into a never-ending culture war, we must learn to stop fighting and instead prevent future manipulation. This book shows how we can use our new tools not to control people but to empower them.

Download or read book The Book of Samuel written by Erik Raschke and published by St. Martin's Griffin. This book was released on 2009-10-13 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Samuel Gerard is just your average teen: he hangs out at the bike jumps or at the mall with his friends, finds creative ways to avoid schoolwork, and repeatedly asks his parents questions that he knows have no answer. But when his dad leaves on a quest to ‘save the world,' Samuel's life takes a turn – a big turn. Starting the day after his father leaves, Samuel finds himself on a dizzying, often humorous series of adventures, from being covered in leeches to accidentally blowing up his friend's garage, from cheering up his mom to supervising his feisty grandma, from making out with the most popular girl in school to a life-changing fight with school bullies. As Samuel tries to sort out the world around him, he gradually finds himself at crossroads of religion and community, family and friends, newfound love and deep-seated hatred, all of which threatens to pull apart his neighborhood – and his family. And in the end, when violence in the community comes to a frightening peak, Samuel is faced with a tough choice: let things continue on a dangerous path, or make a personal sacrifice for peace?

These profound reflections on the cross from David Mathis, author of The Christmas We Didn’t Expect, will help you to meditate on and marvel at Jesus’ life, sacrificial death, and spectacular resurrection-enabling you to treasure anew who Jesus is and what he has done. Many of us are so familiar with the Easter story that it becomes easy to miss subtle details and difficult to really enjoy its meaning. This book will help you to pause and marvel at Jesus, whose now-glorified wounds are a sign of his unfailing love and the decisive victory that he has won: “He was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.” (Isaiah 53:5) This book can be used as a devotional. The chapters on Holy Week make it especially helpful during the Lent season and at Easter.
