Download or read book The Hermies Incident written by Isaac King and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2014-10-08 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After years as a poster boy for space station children, Bill Smiths orderly life is turned inside out by events that defy rational reason. His natural pension for physical interaction with fellow crew members and his innate technical abilities are strained to the breaking point in his need to protect his sanity, if not his actual life. To overcome what appear to be impossible odds and a clear organized conspiracy at the highest levels of government, Bill and his nemesis, Juanita Alvarez, become entangled in a roller-coaster ride of stress and emotional involvement, bordering on a criminal conspiracy of their own. What appears to be wrong becomes right, what appears to be bad becomes good, and what appears to be legal becomes truly illegal. In this epic battle of right and wrong, our characters moral and physical strengths are tested to the breaking point. In the end, the never-ending struggle of all living things to exist and prosper is confirmed without regard for mankinds concept of right or wrong. Open the front cover, immerse yourself in the unfolding story, and pray for a revelation. I think you will find it very hard to put down.
Download or read book The New Testament Concept of Atonement written by H.D. McDonald and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2022-01-01 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the Christian faith, questions relating to God can essentially be viewed as centred on the person of Jesus Christ. In The New Testament Concept of Atonement, H.D. McDonald uses this key insight to examine mankind’s redemption, focussing on Christ’s atoning act as crucial in shaping God’s relation to humanity and the world. McDonald analyses elements which hold vital meanings and messages for the Christian doctrine of salvation. In the first six chapters he investigates single terms within the New Testament, such as ‘tree’ or ‘blood’ whose metonymical association with Christ’s redeeming act has often become obscured over time. Then, various biblical interpretations of the Calvary event are studied. In the final section, he analyses the importance of the findings in previous chapters and their implications for Christology. Detailed research underpins the text, in the tradition of Reformed biblical scholarship, with care taken to suggest further reading and trace sources.

Download or read book That You Might Believe Study on the Gospel of John written by Robert L. Deffinbaugh and published by Biblical Studies Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 661 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are certain books of the Bible that just seem to stand out and the Gospel of John is surely one such book. It is frequently the first book of the Bible we encourage non-Christians to read in the hope that its message will lead them to faith in Christ. After all, that is the purpose of the book. See John 20:31.For Christians, the Gospel of John is a source of much truth about our Lord and the Gospel. But it is much more than that. It is an opportunity for us to follow Him as we read, and to identify with the disciples as their knowledge of Him continues to expand. It is our opportunity to get to know the heart of the Savior, and to fellowship with Him through His Word. If men of old found their hearts set on fire as they listened to Him teach in person (Luke 24:32), so we will find our hearts warmed as we seek to listen to Him through this Gospel.I challenge you to join me in making the Gospel of John the subject of your study. May God use it to help you see and serve Jesus Christ as the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world (John 1:29).

Download or read book T F Torrance in Recollection and Reappraisal written by Bruce Ritchie and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2021-01-19 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is perhaps the most engaging and readable introduction to T. F. Torrance's theology around. The author writes from the perspective of having been a student in Torrance's theology class in Edinburgh when Torrance was at the height of his powers, painting a fascinating picture of Torrance in action as a teacher. The book sets Torrance's theology in context by placing it in relation to liberal Protestantism on the one hand and traditional Calvinism on the other. It explores Torrance's methodology; it offers insights on how he linked incarnation and atonement; and it also suggests how some of Torrance's ideas may be extended in order to result in an even more integrated and cohesive theology. This book is a must, not only for Torrance readers, but for all lovers of theology.

Download or read book A Colossal Wreck written by Alexander Cockburn and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2013-09-10 with total page 603 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alexander Cockburn was without question one of the most influential journalists of his generation, whose writing stems from the best tradition of Mark Twain, H. L. Mencken and Tom Paine. Colossal Wreck, his final work, finished shortly before his death in July 2012, exemplifies the prodigious literary brio that made Cockburn's name. Whether ruthlessly exposing Beltway hypocrisy, pricking the pomposity of those in power, or tirelessly defending the rights of the oppressed, Cockburn never pulled his punches and always landed a blow where it mattered. In this panoramic work, covering nearly two decades of American culture and politics, he explores subjects as varied as the sex life of Bill Clinton and the best way to cook wild turkey. He stands up for the rights of prisoners on death row and exposes the chicanery of the media and the duplicity of the political elite. As he pursues a serpentine path through the nation, he charts the fortunes of friends, famous relatives, and sworn enemies alike to hilarious effect. This is a thrilling trip through the reefs and shoals of politics and everyday life. Combining a passion for the places, the food and the people he encountered on dozens of cross-country journeys, Cockburn reports back over seventeen years of tumultuous change among what he affectionately called the "thousand landscapes" of the United States.

Download or read book German Atrocities 1914 written by John Horne and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2001-01-01 with total page 632 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is it true that the German army, invading Belgium and France in August 1914, perpetrated brutal atrocities? Or are accounts of the deaths of thousands of unarmed civilians mere fabrications constructed by fanatically anti-German Allied propagandists? Based on research in the archives of Belgium, Britain, France, Germany, and Italy, this pathbreaking book uncovers the truth of the events of autumn 1914 and explains how the politics of propaganda and memory have shaped radically different versions of that truth. John Horne and Alan Kramer mine military reports, official and private records, witness evidence, and war diaries to document the crimes that scholars have long denied: a campaign of brutality that led to the deaths of some 6500 Belgian and French civilians. Contemporary German accounts insisted that the civilians were guerrillas, executed for illegal resistance. In reality this claim originated in a vast collective delusion on the part of German soldiers. The authors establish how this myth originated and operated, and how opposed Allied and German views of events were used in the propaganda war. They trace the memory and forgetting of the atrocities on both sides up to and beyond World War II. Meticulously researched and convincingly argued, this book reopens a painful chapter in European history while contributing to broader debates about myth, propaganda, memory, war crimes, and the nature of the First World War.
