Download or read book Sins of the Younger Sons written by Jan Reid and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2017-06-22 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Luke Burgoa is an ex-Marine on a solitary covert mission to infiltrate the Basque separatist organization ETA in Spain and help bring down its military commander, Peru Madariaga. Luke hails from a Basque ancestry that came with the Spanish empire to Cuba, Argentina, Mexico, and, seventy-five years ago, to a Texas ranch. Neighbors consider the Burgoas Mexican immigrants and exiles of that nation’s revolution, but the matriarch of the family speaks the ancient language Euskera and honors traditions of the old country. Luke’s orders are to sell guns to the ETA and lure Peru into a trap. Instead he falls in love with Peru’s estranged wife, Ysolina, who lives in Paris and pursues a doctorate about an Inquisition-driven witchcraft frenzy in her native land. From the day they cross the border into the Basque Pyrenees, their love affair on the run conveys the beauty, sensuality, exoticism, and violence of an ancient homeland cut in two by Spain and France. Their trajectory puts Luke, Ysolina, and Peru on a collision course with each other and the famed American architect Frank Gehry, whose construction of a Guggenheim art museum seeks to transform the Basque city of Bilbao, a decrepit industrial backwater haunted by the Spanish Civil War—and a hotbed of ETA extremism. Ranging from the Amazon rain forest to a deadly prison in Madrid, Sins of the Younger Sons is a love story exposed to dire risk at every turn.

Download or read book Rebound Keep Moving written by R. B. Thieme, Jr. and published by R. B. Thieme, Jr., Bible Ministries . This book was released on 1993-01-01 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rebound & Keep Moving! is the key that unlocks the Christian way of life. After salvation the sin nature remains a relentless adversary, tempting the believer to sin and live in carnality. When the believer sins, fellowship with God is destroyed, the filling of the Holy Spirit is temporarily lost, and spiritual progress ceases. Rebound is the simplest yet most incredible concept in the spiritual life. Rebound defeats sin. Guilt, anguish, remorse over past failures vanish knowing that God forgives and forgets all past sins. Rebound is our access to intimacy with the Lord, the gateway to divine power in our lives, our license to serve the Lord. Rebound opens the door to the wonderful freedom the grace of God offers to every believer in Jesus Christ.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Looking through the eyes of a child is not a twee, cosy or easy experience. It can be unsettling, uncomfortable, edgy...' - from the Introduction Who has the right to 'do' theology? Only academics? Only adults? Or do we all have a voice in the kingdom of God? Through the Eyes of a Child considers 14 key theological themes from one of the most neglected of perspectives - that of children. Honouring Jesus' command to place the child at the centre, theologians, psychologists and educationalists take us from our comfort zone to look afresh at some of the most grave, difficult and beautiful topics in Christian theology. Challenging conventional readings of theology, this landmark work will fascinate and challenge anyone who cares about children and their place in the world and the church.
Download or read book Come Back Home my Son I Still Love You written by Fomum Zacharias Tanee (author) and published by ZTF Books Online. This book was released on 2016-07-04 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the story of the prodigal son who, having left his father, went to a far country with his share of the inheritance which he wasted in wild living and debauchery. Finally exposed to hunger and poverty, he came back to his senses and decided to return to his father, who welcomed him and restored him. In this book, Z. T. Fomum clearly elucidates the thought of God. Although He has offered man everything he needs to live, He offers him the freedom to choose to stay with Him. Often a person chooses his way, rebels, practices a life of independence manifested by sin. While he is coping, things can only go from bad to worse. However, God in His mercy is ready to forgive, restore, and uplift anyone who confronts his error and decides to come back to Him. This book illustrates the unlimited love of God, who rejects no one, who is ready to bring back anyone who has rebelled against Him, to his best and in union with God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. It's a highly recommended book.

Book excerpt: I think we can all agree that life is hard! There seems to be no end to the troubles, heartaches, misfortune, problems, and craziness that come hand in hand with life here on earth. The good news is there is help! We are not meant to walk through life alone. God did not abandon us in this crazy world to figure it all out on our own or did he leave us to fend for ourselves. The God of the universe is always present and available to be known by all who seek him. Sadly, many of us waste our whole lives searching this world to fill us with what only God can and that which he has already freely provided to each of us. We look for love, answers, help, and even our own identities in all the wrong places. We must stop wasting whatever precious time we have been given searching this world for answers it can't provide. Through Jesus, we already gained direct access to the source of all life, the Creator of all things. God is where our help comes from, and his Word is where we get answers. God provides, with his unlimited resources and abundance, to anyone who calls on him. God's power is unmatched, and it is infinite. Nothing is impossible for God. God has already empowered each of us with all the tools necessary for navigating this world; he not only sent Jesus to show us the way, but he also gave us his Holy Spirit as our personal helper. God also armed us with the written manual for tackling all of life's many questions and providing guidance for overcoming all of life's challenges; he gave us the Bible. Through years of walking with the Lord and studying his Word, the truths of the Bible and the way to everlasting life have never been clearer to me. While I am learning and growing more in my faith every day, I have discovered absolute truth in the Word of God, truth that must be shared. These truths, God desires all people to know. The glorious treasures found in the Bible are invaluable and life-giving and are meant for all people everywhere. The truth and hope found in scripture is exactly what this world so desperately needs. Join me as I attempt to unpack all the glorious truths and promises that God has for each of us found in scripture. Wherever you are on your faith journey, God has so much more to show you. His great love for you has no end, and his goodness and blessings are new each day. He has a perfect plan and purpose for your life. God is patiently waiting for you to choose to walk through life with him and discover all he has destined for you. Truth is power, and God's power is available to all who seek it. Allow God to lead you in the way to everlasting. Journey with him, and you will discover a life well lived, a life filled with true love, joy, hope, peace, and happiness.
Download or read book In Tune with Him Daily written by Inyang Ukot and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2020-07-16 with total page 800 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This devotional is the product of a deep-seated desire to place in the hands of readers a unique material that meets the needs of youths, middle-aged and the elderly. This book meets your needs today, is entirely practical just as it is entirely scriptural. In terms of arrangement, it starts by reminding the reader of the Lord’s Prayer. Unlike most devotionals, it has table of contents that tells the reader the topics, dates and pages where the subjects are treated for the entire year; the reader can go to a topic of interest and read it before or after the date. Moreover, there is no assigned year, making it valid any year. You can purchase it on any day of the year, start using it and get back to that date the following year. Topics are taken from Genesis to Revelation. Bible passages averagely stay within fifteen verses, with depth of contents even when just one verse is studied. The icing on the cake consists of four feature articles and ten word-search puzzles. The titles of the feature articles include: The Youth: The Errors of Rachel; Trust; and Challenges and Fulfilment of The Elderly. They cover interesting areas on youths, women, children and the elderly, respectively. The ten puzzles are for your exercise. Even readers completely unfamiliar with the Bible are welcome as the this ‘study-devotional’ meets everyone’s heartfelt needs.
