Download or read book Coming to Grips With Genesis written by Dr. Terry Mortenson and published by New Leaf Publishing Group. This book was released on 2008-10-01 with total page 489 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fourteen theological scholars address key topics related to the age of the earth, which is the crucial issue of debate in the church today regarding origins. Bringing to bear rigorous biblical, theological, and historical arguments in favor of a six-day creation, the global Flood, and a young earth, they also provide much-needed critiques of a number of contemporary old-earth interpretations of the book of Genesis. This fresh defense of the literal history of Genesis 1-11 nicely complements other studies which focus more on the scientific evidence of young-earth creationism. As such, this book can serve as a versatile supplement to other works, but is also designed to be used as a standalone text for seminary and Bible college professors and students, pastors, missionaries, and others who want in-depth apologetic resources. Coming to Grips with Genesis: Biblical Authority and the Age of the Earthincludes: Forewords by Dr. John MacArthur, President of the Master's Seminary and Senior Pastor of Grace Community Church, Sun Valley, CA; and the late Dr. Henry Morris, Founder and President Emeritus, Institute for Creation Research Detailed analysis of the verbs of Genesis 1 A defense of the Genesis 5 & 11 genealogies as strict chronologies Reasons for rejecting millions of years of death and natural evil before Adam's sin Careful reflection on Jesus' teachings regarding a young earth

Download or read book Coming to Grips with Loss written by Kate Cummings and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-11-02 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coming to Grips with Loss is a theory that depicts how people heal from any type of significant loss. The strength of this theory is that it is grounded in data gathered from people who experienced a myriad of losses; of loved ones, physical and mental abilities, homes, careers, material goods, as well as safety, security, and other aspects that people hold dear. The theory is written in a very deliberate manner that is non-pathologizing, relevant to a wide array of audiences, and is transferable to various fields of study. It explains what people say they go through on their way from the initial discovery, assessing the possible impact, experiencing related feelings and choosing coping actions that can either move one closer or farther away from healing. It offers a road map to recovery for those in helping relationships, business managers, community leaders and people involved in self-care. Most importantly, it offers a perspective that normalizes the grief process and offers hope that healing is possible.

Download or read book Thicker Than Water written by Erica Cirino and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2021-10-07 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much of what you’ve heard about plastic pollution may be wrong. Instead of a great island of trash, the infamous Great Pacific Garbage Patch is made up of manmade debris spread over hundreds of miles of sea—more like a soup than a floating garbage dump. Recycling is more complicated than we were taught: less than nine percent of the plastic we create is reused, and the majority ends up in the ocean. And plastic pollution isn’t confined to the open ocean: it’s in much of the air we breathe and the food we eat. In Thicker Than Water: The Quest for Solutions to the Plastic Crisis, journalist Erica Cirino brings readers on a globe-hopping journey to meet the scientists and activists telling the real story of the plastic crisis. From the deck of a plastic-hunting sailboat with a disabled engine, to the labs doing cutting-edge research on microplastics and the chemicals we ingest, Cirino paints a full picture of how plastic pollution is threatening wildlife and human health. Thicker Than Water reveals that the plastic crisis is also a tale of environmental injustice, as poorer nations take in a larger share of the world’s trash, and manufacturing chemicals threaten predominantly Black and low-income communities. There is some hope on the horizon, with new laws banning single-use items and technological innovations to replace plastic in our lives. But Cirino shows that we can only fix the problem if we face its full scope and begin to repair our throwaway culture. Thicker Than Water is an eloquent call to reexamine the systems churning out waves of plastic waste.

Download or read book They Always Said I Would Marry a White Girl written by Robert M. Moore (III.) and published by University Press of America. This book was released on 2007 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growing up in a Philadelphia suburb in the 1960s, there were instances when I was quite reluctant to point out to my classmates, who were all White, that I was indeed African American. There was an impenetrable boundary between African Americans and Whites. To be something else other than White meant to attract unwanted and unneeded attention. Sometimes I felt I harbored a secret, a mark, or stain, one that my friends and I just didn't discuss. I do not remember intentionally trying to deny who I am, but I am sure there were instances when I just didn't speak up with a loud voice. The pressure to somehow join the majority was intense and painful. Robert Moore, whose African American identity today may be questioned by some because of his very light skin color, grew up in an all-white suburb of Philadelphia in the 1960s when the push to assimilate was blatant. An examination of the life experiences of people sometimes felt to be at the perimeter serves to point out that the racial categories of White and Black in America remain strong and impenetrable. The book spans nearly fifty years beginning in the author's youth to a contemporary period when he is a sociology teacher in a university classroom. Book jacket.

By listening carefully to Christ's words, you will learn to recognize the marks and effects of hypocrisy and, by God's grace, successfully apply gospel remedies to this deadly spiritual disease.

Download or read book Great Turning Point written by Dr. Terry Mortenson and published by New Leaf Publishing Group. This book was released on 2004-08-01 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many people in the Church today have the idea that “young-earth” creationism is a fairly recent invention, popularized by fundamentalist Christians in the mid-20th century. Is this view correct? In fact, scholar Terry Mortenson has done fascinating original research on this subject in England, and documents that several leading, pre-Darwin scholars and scientists, known as “scriptural geologists” did not believe in long ages for the earth. Mortenson sheds light on the following: Before Darwin, what did the Church believe about the age of the earth? Why did it believe this way? What was the controversy that rocked the Church in 19th-century England? Who were the “scriptural geologists”? What influences did the Church contend with even before Darwin’s book? What is the stance of the Church today? This book is a thoroughly researched work of reference for every library - certainly every creationist library. Terry Mortenson spent much time and work on this project in both the United States and Great Britain. The history of the Church and evolution is fascinating, and it is interesting to see not only the tremendous influence that evolution has had on the Church, but on society as well.

Download or read book True Spirituality written by Chip Ingram and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2013-08-13 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A launching pad for your spiritual journey, this inspiring book provides clear, specific, and practical guidelines for becoming a Christian who lives like Christ. Christians today live in a world that is activity heavy and relationship light. The result is spiritual emptiness. We struggle to know what God wants from us and for us . . . and we’re unsure what a real relationship with God really looks like. But that was never God’s idea. HIS idea of faith is not about rules or religion— it’s about relationship. That’s where God tells us to start. In Romans 12, God gives us a clear picture of what Christians should look like at the root level. If you’re ready to move from “in” to “all in,” then you’re ready to become a Romans 12 Christian. The next steps of your journey toward true spirituality start here.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every era is equipped by Satan with a potential Antichrist. Because he doesn't know when Christ will return to earth, the deceiver keeps prepared in every era individuals who will promote his cause when the last battle is fought. Dr. Lutzer details how Hitler, fascinated with and heavily influenced by the occult, could have been the Antichrist had Christ returned during the Second World War. He goes on to say that Satan's agent of today would surely emerge from the New Age movement, a movement that wears a mask of peace and all-encompassing unity, yet rejects the basic premises of Christianity. This eBooklet is "must" reading for anyone who desires an accurate, concise overview of the New Age movement and its potential influence in the end times.

Download or read book Difficult Scriptures written by David Albert and published by . This book was released on 1996-09-01 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DIFFICULT SCRIPTURES is an authoritative guide to recent doctrinal controversy & change in the Worldwide Church of God. Drawing on over 35 years of personal experience as a WCG minister, teacher, & former presenter on The World Tomorrow telecast, Dr. David Albert chronicles events in the lives of now-deceased Pastor Generals Herbert W. Armstrong & Joseph W. Tkach leading to sweeping change. The author examines original writings & teachings of Herbert Armstrong on Old Testament dietary laws & sacred days concluding that, despite Armstrong's protestations to the contrary, these were derived from the laws of Moses & are therefore not required of Christians today. Albert treats early New Testament church history, particularly the Jerusalem Conference of Acts 15, in considerable detail & contends that the apostolic decision to loose Christian converts from the law of Moses was not fully understood in the Worldwide Church of God until recently. Fully supportive of recent changes, Albert concludes that literal interpretations of the "national/ceremonial" ideal of the Old Covenant work against the New Covenant character ideal found in Christ. Partly autobiographical, DIFFICULT SCRIPTURES is well illustrated with anecdotes revealing the human side of crisis & change in a church striving to free itself from legalism.
