Book excerpt: Can a Canaanite harlot who made her living enticing men be a fitting wife for a leader of Israel? Shockingly, the Bible’s answer is yes. This 10th anniversary edition of Pearl in the Sand includes new features that will invite you into the untold story of Rahab’s journey from lowly outcast to redeemed child of God. Rahab’s home is built into a wall, a wall that fortifies and protects the City of Jericho. However, other walls surround her too, walls of fear, rejection, and unworthiness… Years of pain and betrayal have wounded Rahab’s heart—she doubts whether her dreams of experiencing true love will ever come true… A woman with a wrecked past—a man of success, of faith... of pride. A marriage only God would conceive! Through the heartaches of a stormy relationship, Rahab and Salmone learn the true source of one another’s worth and find healing in God.

Book excerpt: Paul started this study in the early eighties. This is his first major work and critical study. Research for the past twenty years has ended. He is ready to share what he has found. The title of the book is Good Wednesday Palm Saturday, Fallacies of Easter and the Infallibility of the Holy Scriptures. Its two studies in one, but some how he connects them with a string of different but relative studies each standing on it's on. He calls these studies The Chronicles. Paul remembers as a small boy in Memphis, Tennessee attending the Early Grove Baptist Church, that he recall's asking himself the question on an Easter Sunday. The question was, how do you get three days from Friday to Sunday? That was over fifty-five years ago. After years of study and research the issue is quite clear. Jesus Christ is a Jew. Born under Jewish law and Jewish traditions. Paul also realizes there are two issues at stake. One is the trustworthiness of the Bible. The other is whether Jesus is truly God. Because If Jesus only spent thirty-six hours in the tomb, that is, from Friday at 6:00 p.m. until Sunday at 6:00 a.m. The Bible is deemed incorrect and Jesus is a false prophet. Jesus himself, said that he would spend three days and three nights in the heart of the earth, just as Jonah had spent three days and three nights in the belly of a great fish. Matthew 12:38-40. It seems normal that throughout the whole world the crucifixion of Christ is held on "Good Friday" and that the resurrection is acknowledged on Sunday morning at dawn. Why do Christians and none-Christians alike accept the Friday to Sunday burial of Christ? Probably just tradition. It's always been that way and anyway any part of the day constitute a whole day. What different does it make? He died and he rose that's the important thing, right? In the pages to comes you will read the chronology of the crucifixion week, after reading this book what decision will you make regarding this issue? The Second Chronicle The Bible is the only book that tells man where he came from and where he is going. It is the only book in the world that tells man where he needs to go and how to get there. Where he will spend eternity and why. What you read in the follow pages will take you to the edge of eternity. By writing this book I hope I can motivate someone to read the Bible, study and seek to see whether these things are true. In the second chronicle the book will point to the notion that earth is only six thousand or more years old. And that in year 3000 A. D. the earth will only be 7000 years old. Not even fifty thousand years old as carbon dating suggests. Carbon dating however accurate still has to make assumptions. You will also read about the harmony of the Holy Scriptures. How mathematics proves the inerrancy of the Bible. And that numbers are very important in Scripture otherwise they wouldn't be there. Also, the science of archaeology has continued to confirm the amazing accuracy of the Bible, even when the theories of man have contradicted it for many years. It is my hope that you read this book with an honest desire to know the truth. I believe I have presented the truth of the Scripture. However, truth can be found yet in other places. When you least expect it. Some of you have assumed all your life that the Irish potato is Irish; no it's not Irish. It's a tuber plant and it came from Peru. Mustard Gas is not a gas. It's a volatile liquid. Peanuts are not nuts. They are beans. June bug is not a bug. It's a May beetle. The horned toad is not a toad. It's a lizard. The English horn is not a horn, nor is it English. It's French and it is a woodwind. Finally, from my own study I find that Palm Sunday is really Palm Saturday and Good Friday is really Good Wednesday. The trouble is, that most people don't know

Download or read book Pearl s Twilight Nature in The Scarlet Letter Emblem of Sin Or Self fulfilling Prophecy written by Anja Schmidt and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2007-10 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2004 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 1+ (A), University of Hamburg, course: Nathaniel Hawthorne and the Puritans, 13 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: In The Scarlet Letter Nathaniel Hawthorne has not only created an intriguing plot, but also some very "picturesque" characters, among whom the character of Pearl can probably be viewed as the most unique one. Pearl, a composition of demon offspring and elf-child, cannot but raise the question of her identity, and nature, from the day she is born. Not only the Puritan community, even her own mother persistently questions her human nature and allegorizes her as a token of guilt. Not even Hawthorne can restrain himself in reminding us constantly about the symbolic and functional nature of Pearl, so that even the most ignorant reader must notice her resemblance of the Scarlet Letter in the story. But is Pearl really just a purpose-fulfilling construction? Or is there more to this character than its function? Is a child's fascination with a shiny and colorful object really that unusual? And is it unusual for a child to behave wild if the mother raises the child in a non-authoritative form? Could it be that any real child, born into a situation described in The Scarlet Letter, would develop as Hawthorne develops the character of Pearl? This work will raise the question of Pearl's true nature and examine whether her character in Hawthorne's romance is purely shaped by her function. Yet, an analysis of Pearl's character would be a futile attempt if viewed independently of all other characters. The reader never gets to know the "independent character" Pearl. She is always reflected via her interaction with other characters or objects. Her thoughts remain obscure to the reader - unlike the other characters'. Thus, an analysis on Pearl will consist of an analysis of her interactions with the other characters in the story.

Download or read book The Book of Why written by Judea Pearl and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2018-05-15 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Turing Award-winning computer scientist and statistician shows how understanding causality has revolutionized science and will revolutionize artificial intelligence "Correlation is not causation." This mantra, chanted by scientists for more than a century, has led to a virtual prohibition on causal talk. Today, that taboo is dead. The causal revolution, instigated by Judea Pearl and his colleagues, has cut through a century of confusion and established causality -- the study of cause and effect -- on a firm scientific basis. His work explains how we can know easy things, like whether it was rain or a sprinkler that made a sidewalk wet; and how to answer hard questions, like whether a drug cured an illness. Pearl's work enables us to know not just whether one thing causes another: it lets us explore the world that is and the worlds that could have been. It shows us the essence of human thought and key to artificial intelligence. Anyone who wants to understand either needs The Book of Why.

Download or read book Pearl written by Mary Gordon and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2006-04-11 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On Christmas night of 1998, Maria Meyers learns that her twenty-year-old daughter, Pearl, has chained herself outside the American embassy in Dublin, where she intends to starve herself to death. Although Maria was once a student radical and still proudly lives by her beliefs, gentle, book-loving Pearl has never been interested in politics–nor in the Catholicism her mother rejected years before. What, then, is driving her to martyr herself? Shaken by this mystery, Maria and her childhood friend (and Pearl’s surrogate father), Joseph Kasperman, both rush to Pearl’s side. As Mary Gordon tells the story of the bonds among them, she takes us deep into the labyrinths of maternal love, religious faith, and Ireland’s tragic history. Pearl is a grand and emotionally daring novel of ideas, told with the tension of a thriller.

Download or read book Seven Social Sins written by J.S. Rajput and published by Allied Publishers. This book was released on 2012-11-10 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book has been prepared with great expectations. The relevance of dynamism in Gandhian thought, percept and vision could guide the concerned citizens and policy makers in the search for solutions. Each of the seven sins identified gets organically linked to the remaining six. Hopefully, it would provide sparks for further study and analysis of how the ideology of progress that India deserves could evolve, taking the best from outside but retaining the flavour of the indigenous thought and wisdom. Indian democracy, with all its lacunae and inadequacies, has certainly made aware a large chunk of its citizens of their responsibilities and duties. The young are now alert to their own role that the country expects them to perform. The idealism of the youth, strengthened with inputs from Gandhian thought and approach, could be sustained on a strong base of value development strategies. An emerging knowledge society must derive strength from its existing cognitive capital and its analysis and contemporary relevance could always bring in substantial additions and advancements. Those, to whom this volume could reach, may be better prepared to contribute effectively to the cause of the nation building.

Book excerpt: From an acclaimed writer whose work invites comparisons to Elizabeth Strout, Rick Bass, and Richard Ford comes a brilliantly layered novel about self-sacrifice, family relationships, and the weight of our responsibility to those we love. The New York Times bestselling author of the critically acclaimed Crow Lake and The Other Side of the Bridge returns with a brilliantly layered novel about self-sacrifice, family relationships, and the weight of our responsibility to those we love. Twenty-one-year-old Megan Cartwright has never been outside Struan, Ontario, a small town of deep woods and forbidding winters. The second oldest in a house with seven brothers, Megan is the caregiver, housekeeper, and linchpin of the family, but the day comes when she decides it’s time she had a life of her own. Leaving everything behind, Megan sets out for London. In the wake of her absence, her family begins to unravel. Megan’s parents and brothers withdraw from one another, leading emotionally isolated lives while still under the same roof. Her oldest brother, Tom, reeling from the death of his best friend, rejects a promising future to move back home. Emily, her mother, rarely leaves the room where she dreamily dotes on her newborn son, while Megan’s four-year-old brother, Adam, is desperate for warmth and attention. And as time passes, Megan’s father, Edward, stubbornly refuses to acknowledge that his household is coming undone. Torn between her independence and family ties, Megan must make an impossible choice. Nuanced, compelling, and searingly honest, Road Ends illuminates how we each make peace with the demands of love. Mary Lawson delivers compassion and heartbreak in equal measure in her most stunning novel to date. Praise for Road Ends “Mary Lawson’s story of a dysfunctional family in a northern Ontario logging town is told in scenes that are as palpably tender and surprising as they are quietly disturbing. . . . [Lawson] has an uncanny talent for evoking the textures of her characters’ moods while moving them unsentimentally through London and Struan.”—The New York Times Book Review “Like all great writers—and Lawson is among the finest—she tells her story in a deceptively simple and straightforward way, but one that resonates with anyone who has ever struggled with doing the right thing by a family member despite a desperate longing to escape that burden.”—The Star “[Lawson] can justifiably lay claim to an oeuvre as well as a personal geography. If the part of Ontario west of Toronto is Munro country, then the area northwest of New Liskeard and Cobalt—where her fictional towns of Struan and Crow Lake are roughly located—may well end up being dubbed Lawson Country.”—National Post “A beautiful novel, with the psychological twists and turns of each character gently and poignantly unfurled.”—The Globe and Mail

Download or read book David s Sexual Sin Exposed written by Gery Malanda and published by Gery Malanda. This book was released on with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Often when we have surrendered our lives to Jesus Christ and are looking to live a biblical Christian life, the lustful desires of the flesh can present as a stumbling block. Most often these thoughts and sexual desires can prompt feelings of guilt and condemnation especially when the body of Christ is not addressing sexual immorality and appears to tolerate it. Whilst they were still in the world, women will have undergone abortions and others would have engaged in sexual immorality. Once committed in living a Christian life, the guilt and shame of the past life can leave thoughts of being the worst sinners compared to their brethren. Brother Gery Malanda (Apostle and Leader of House Of Prayer For All Nations-Europe and Teacher on TBN Voice of Healing UK) takes a refreshingly honest and scriptural look on dealing with lustful/ sexual thoughts, abortion, masturbation and the husband/wife of the night phenomenon. Brother Gery reflects on his own personal experiences and draws from the testimonies of others to address the issues that often the body of Christ is shy to discuss. Brother Gery provides a biblical guideline on seeking a godly husband and wife. What does the bible give as the criteria? and the steps according to the word of God one should consider. He also points out God’s view on fake marriages and issues a warning to those contemplating it. Lastly Brother Gery has demonstrated through the Word of God that it’s possible to walk in the highway of holiness, how to be transformed and transfigured and how to be a disciple of Jesus Christ not just a mere convert. In a society where sexual immorality is ripe, how can a Christian ensure that they are not conformed to the world but have renewed their mind? This book is a wonderful guide as a look in the mirror to discern if you are still walking in the highway of holiness!
