Book excerpt: With refreshing determination and hopeful grit, humanity activates a bold endgame against an alien invasion in the finale of a series heralded as “a modern classic” (Stephen Baxter) from “one of the finest writers the genre has produced” (Gareth L. Powell). Humanity is struggling to hold out against a hostile takeover by an alien race that claims to be on a religious mission to bring all sentient life to its God at the End of Time. But while billions of cocooned humans fill the holds of the Olyix’s deadly arkships, humankind is playing an even longer game than the aliens may have anticipated. From an ultra-secret spy mission to one of the grandest battles ever seen, no strategy is off the table. Will a plan millennia in the making finally be enough to defeat this seemingly unstoppable enemy? And what secrets are the Olyix truly hiding in their most zealously protected stronghold? With his trademark optimism about humanity’s tenacity and capacity for greatness, Peter F. Hamilton wraps up this brilliant saga with a bang—and reminds us why freedom of choice is the most important freedom there is.

Book excerpt: A lethal virus is awoken on an abandoned spaceship in this incredibly fast-paced, claustrophobic thriller. They thought the ship would be their salvation. Zahra knew every detail of the plan. House of Wisdom, a massive exploration vessel, had been abandoned by the government of Earth a decade earlier, when a deadly virus broke out and killed everyone on board in a matter of hours. But now it could belong to her people if they were bold enough to take it. All they needed to do was kidnap Jaswinder Bhattacharya—the sole survivor of the tragedy, and the last person whose genetic signature would allow entry to the spaceship. But what Zahra and her crew could not know was what waited for them on the ship—a terrifying secret buried by the government. A threat to all of humanity that lay sleeping alongside the orbiting dead. And then they woke it up.

Book excerpt: What this book reveals: God Almighty needed a trusted vessel – the right body – to channel His salvation plan. After centuries of search, He did settle on Mary, a virgin girl that lived in Galilee, who had the perfect body, the right attitude, and sufficient faith. Undeniably, an imperfect body would have defiled the divine nature of Christ; the wrong attitude would have delayed the salvation plan, and an insufficient faith would have jeopardized the entire plan. When God found the right body, He did not only purify it, but He also filled it with infinite grace. Indeed, the salvific project required maximum precision; precision that aught to be multimillion times more accurate than sending shuttles into space. Fault tolerance for the salvific mission was zero. Mary was not only part of the plan, but her body, attitude, and faith were critical to the success of the entire mission. While it is true that God prepared Mary she for the role, God respected her freewill and sought her cooperation. Unlike Eve, she cooperated with God and submitted to His will. While many Christians do not give Mary her pride of place, their disdain does not diminish the unique role she played in the salvific plan. Also, their disdain does not diminish the favors she gained from God and made manifest by her divine maternity. Indeed, Mary is blessed above all women, not because we think, believe, or say so, but because it is so. Indeed, the Mighty One has done great things for her, and holy is His Name. Pidomson navigates on a very high frequency of spiritual plane. I commend him for this excellent treaties on the Blessed Virgin Mary. It is an area of Christian doctrine that few venture to explore. The author has shown that it is not an impossible task. – Rev. Fr. Prof. John U. Gangwari, Catholic Institute of West Africa Pidomson’s revelatory book gives us the enlightened, timeless wisdom of Mariology in a way that helps us to rediscover the original meaning and efficacy of time tested devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary. He presents his arguments with clarity and simplicity that transcends theological nitpicking. This timeless spiritual message is urgently needed. – Rev. Mesgr. Livy Boniko, Parish Pastor, Immaculate Heart Parish, Port Harcourt, Nigeria. This book is about the Mother of Jesus who has bequeathed to us the lively example of knowing how to continue prodding God for divine compassion and generosity. Her intervention in John 2 reveals her to be a catalyst to Jesus’ extravagant generosity, both in quantity and quality that kept the wedding party at Cana in Galilee going. These lines beautifully crafted by Dr. Gabriel Pidomson encourages us through the example of Mary to know how to nudge God, asking what God has in mind for our particular challenges even as She intercedes for us saying “They have no wine.” – Rev. Msgr. Dr. Pius Kii. Faculty of Canon Law, Catholic Institute of West Africa “Pidomson’s work is a masterpiece. The book will go far to touch so many souls – believing, doubting, and seemingly lost. I thank God for granting me the opportunity to be thinly associated with this divine message/revelation. May God bless him for this divine revelation.” – Mr. Chris Okonkwo, Editor in Chief, National Network

Download or read book Becoming a Vessel for God s Glory written by Jonathan T Jones, PhD and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2024-07-21 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are many confusions in our world about who are true followers or disciples of Jesus Christ. The world is looking and searching for biblical Christians. The world is looking on how Christians live. People are looking at what are the true characters of Christian and Christian ministers. The New Testament (NT) has a vivid description of who a Christian is, how a Christian should live, and the picture of genuine Christian minister. The NT also has the right prescription to how a person can become a Christian and live the new life. If we fail to have a sound understanding of both the description and prescription on Christianity we may not experience what God has made available for us in His Son Jesus Christ. The term Christian and Christianity has been made so generic that they have lost their meaning and purpose. There are many folks who profess or believe intellectually they are Christian or are adherents of Christ but in reality they are far from the edge of the experience and life of a true Christian. This book is designed to help many of folks who are in that spiritual condition and are seriously seeking a meaningful but simple answer to their question and confusion.

Download or read book The Wise Master Builder Platonic Geometry in Plans of Medieval Abbeys and Cathederals written by Nigel Hiscock and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-05-08 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title was first published in 2000: Did the plan of medieval churches have any underlying symbolic meaning? This work re-opens the debate about the importance of geometry and symbolism in medieval architectural design and argues the case for attributing an intellectual meaning to the planning of abbeys and cathedrals. In challenging prevailing claims for the use of arithmetical rations in architectural design, notably those based on the square root of two, Dr Hiscock advances a perspective consisting of proportions derived from the figures of Platonic geometry - the square, the equilateral triangle and the pentagon - and provides evidence for the symbolic interpretation of these figures. The investigation further reveals whole series of geometric relationships between some of England's most celebrated Norman cathedrals, such as Norwich or Durham, together with a wide sample from the Continent, from Old St Peter's in Rome to Chartres Cathedral, and sets out a comprehensive design method in each case. Hiscock first demonstrates the proposition that the ideas of Christian Platonism, including number and geometry, remained current and were employed in the thought of the early Middle Ages. In particular, he argues that they can be associated with the leading persons in the 10th-century revival of monasticism and that they found expression in the "white mantle of churches" that spread across Western Europe at the end of the first millennium AD. The book then provides a detailed analysis of the geometric proportions of church plans between the 9th and 12th centuries in Germany, France and in England. This research seeks to demonstrate that a coherent sequence of geometric forms can be seen in thse plans, forms which correspond to the key figures of Platonic geometry as understood in the context of Christian Platonist thought. In conclusion, the author shows how the system of design proposed could be set out on site using the known working methods of medieval masons.

Download or read book Practical Essential Christianity written by Michael Phillips and published by Rosetta Books. This book was released on 2013-12-14 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This concise yet thorough analysis of core Christian principles cuts through doctrinal debates to illuminate the essentials of faith. Much of Christendom functions on the basis of formulas, catechisms, recipes of spirituality, and widely varying lists of what is considered “acceptable doctrine.” This brief discussion simplifies the vast scope of Christian truth by identifying eight essential “principles” that can be embraced and practiced by all Christians and churches across the spectrum of belief. Devotional author Michael Phillips uses these universal truths as a springboard for investigating the fundamentals of the Christian faith for both beginner and theologian, simple yet life-changing and profound. He also includes a parallel exploration of several common pitfalls that have infiltrated the church through history as counterfeit indicators of spirituality.

Download or read book Salvation written by Peter F. Hamilton and published by Del Rey. This book was released on 2018-09-04 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Humanity’s complex relationship with technology spirals out of control in this first book of an all-new series from “the owner of the most powerful imagination in science fiction” (Ken Follett). “How far ‘space opera’ has come! The Old Masters of sci-fi would admire the scope and sweep of Salvation.”—The Wall Street Journal In the year 2204, humanity is expanding into the wider galaxy in leaps and bounds. Cutting-edge technology of linked jump gates has rendered most forms of transportation—including starships—virtually obsolete. Every place on Earth, every distant planet humankind has settled, is now merely a step away from any other. All seems wonderful—until a crashed alien spaceship of unknown origin is found on a newly located world eighty-nine light-years from Earth, carrying a cargo as strange as it is horrifying. To assess the potential of the threat, a high-powered team is dispatched to investigate. But one of them may not be all they seem. . . . Bursting with tension and big ideas, Peter F. Hamilton’s Salvation is the first book of an all-new series that highlights the inventiveness of an author at the top of his game. Praise for Salvation “[A] vast, intricate sci-fi showstopper . . . The journey grips just as hard as the reveal.”—Daily Mail (U.K.) “Exciting, wildly imaginative and quite possibly Hamilton’s best book to date.”—SFX “Dynamic, multifaceted characters, strong mind-expanding concepts, and impressive flair for language [make Salvation a] rare celestial event. . . . One of Britain’s bestselling sci-fi authors has launched an addictive new book as the initial stage of what is sure to be an intriguing new series called the Salvation Sequence.”—SyFyWire “Peter Hamilton just keeps getting better and better with each book, more assured and more craftsmanly adroit, and more inventive. [Salvation is] a bravura performance from start to finish. . . . Hamilton is juggling chainsaws while simultaneously doing needlepoint over a shark tank. It’s a virtuoso treat, and I for one can hardly wait for Salvation Lost.”—Paul Di Filippo, Locus “Peter F. Hamilton is known as one of the world’s greatest sci-fi writers for a reason. . . . Salvation is well worth the effort and a great introduction to some good old-fashioned space opera.”—Fantasy Book Review

Download or read book Physical and Spiritual Salvation written by Wayne ODonnell and published by Wayne ODonnell. This book was released on 2020-05-02 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All my books can be read online free at wayneodonnell.com. “Freely you have received, freely give” (Mt. 10:8). The salvation God provided to us in Jesus (Yeshua in Hebrew, which means ‘salvation’), is comprised of both spiritual and physical parts. Justification and sanctification are spiritual; but glorification, like also resurrection, is physical. God’s workings with Israel are also in the physical realm, the realm where genealogies matter. “The book of the genealogy of Jesus Messiah, the son of David, the son of Abraham,” Mt. 1:1. So much misinterpretation of scripture, like that of Reformed Theology, is due to their felt need to leave the principle of literal interpretation of scripture because of their failure to differentiate between things like personal spiritual salvation and national physical salvation. The Bible often focuses on spiritual and physical salvation in separate books and passages. For example, Romans 1-8a, Romans 12-16, and 1 John, focus on spiritual salvation. Ezekiel 40-48, the Gospel of Matthew, and Romans 8b-11, focus on physical salvation. Expository surveys of these two sets of passages comprise the content of this book. Physical Salvation: “The glory of Jehovah came into the temple, ... and He said, ... ‘This is the place of My throne and the place of the soles of My feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel forever,’” Ezekiel 43:4-7. Spiritual Salvation: “Except a man be born again, he can’t see the kingdom of God,” John 3:3. Spiritual Salvation: “Having been justified by faith, we have had our access ... into this grace wherein we stand;” Physical Salvation: “and rejoice in hope of the glory of God,” Romans 5:1-2.

Download or read book Salvation written by Dr. Peter Pryce and published by Dr. Peter Pryce. This book was released on 2018-08-07 with total page 757 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is a narrower, chronological format in which you can conceptualize this book as a work of translation: 1. Academia/Universities and Research Centers 2. Translation Studies discipline 3. Source text/material – the Bible and the dreams in the spirit realm 4. Target text/translation – this book 5. The spiritual effect/aftermath A possible spiritual consequence may arise from reading the Bible or from reading texts derived from the Bible, and that consequence is “conversion” – just the same way as one may become converted into the philosophy of capitalism as a result of reading works and ideas on capitalism. In other words, there are two-pronged dimensions that accrue from this book, or from several of my works on Bible Commentary: 1. The Bible is, for you, just as any rich academic literature book that you read, examine, explore, question, analyze, translate and interpret in as many myriad forms as possible, reading between the lines and seeing plausible messages, themes, communications, ideas, concepts, and hidden meanings that you discover, reveal, argue, and expatiate with copious underpinnings of versified exposition, demonstrating textual analysis skill to decipher parables, allegories, metaphors, similes, all forms and manner of poetic figures of speech, and dark sayings, and so on and so forth. Or 2. The Bible is, for you, not like any other book, but is rather spiritual and those words in it, as we say that words have power, do indeed have power to connect into your spirit, into your inner hidden self to reveal yourself to yourself in ways that no other book is able to accomplish! i. John 6:63 (KJV) It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. ii. Romans 7:14 (KJV) For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. iii. 2 Corinthians 3:18 (KJV) But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. iv. Hebrews 4:12 (KJV) For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. v. James 1:23 (KJV) For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: vi. James 1:24 (KJV) For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. vii. James 1:25 (KJV) But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. To those of you who adhere to the number 1 characterization of this book, or any of my several works on Bible Commentary, you will find plenty academic literature evidence just as those of you who adhere to the number 2 characterization of this book, or any of my several works on Bible Commentary, you will also find plenty spiritual effect and evidence.
