Book excerpt: What if I were to tell you that every day of your life you have lived a lie? If your every memory, experience, and interaction with the world around you was tainted by the fallacy, would you strive to learn the truth? Do you possess the inner fortitude to break the shackles that have imprisoned your mind? We can give you that power. We can show you the truth. Each day, we bask in the glory that was intended for all humanity. From Hyperion, the last free city, we endeavor to preserve the way of life of our common ancestors so that one day, those of you who have been lost might reawaken. Defying Gravity is the first installment in the journey of a young man from among you who chose to learn of the truth. The account details the triumphs and defeats necessary to cast off the bonds that had held him for sixteen years of life on Earth. Though some were resistant and all were uncertain, none could have predicted how his coming would forever change the course of humanity's collective destiny. We invite you to share in his journey. If you lack the courage to challenge the assumptions of your reality, perhaps walking the footsteps of one who has come before you will inspire. As you will invariably come to learn in The Hyperion Chronicles, even the slightest shift in your perspective is a monumental victory for our cause.
Download or read book Defying Gravity written by Daniel Henderson and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Satan is a strategic foe. His darts and doubts are designed to undermine the power of truth. He knows the importance of destroying the integrity and well-being of spiritual leaders in order to decimate the church of Jesus Christ. Pastors and church leaders need to learn about how to prepare for and protect themselves so they can lead effectively and without "losing altitude". Defying Gravity makes leaders aware of the pitfalls of ministry and equips them with the tools to avoid these temptations and traps. This book is the fruit of Daniel Henderson's 25 years of pastoral ministry, mostly spent as the senior pastor of three churches. It also reflects his very active ministry in the past 11 years as a speaker in pastors' conferences and renewal events, which have given him many occasions for interaction with hurting pastors. From those lessons learned he instructs on the nine gauges on the leadership instrument panel that you need to monitor to keep soaring no matter what storms come your way. The nine gauges he refers to are applied truth, spiritual intimacy, personal integrity, Biblical identity, genuine accountability, eternal significance, healthy family life, indispensible pain, and a captivating call.

Download or read book The Universe Revealed written by Javad Fardaei and published by Fulton Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2023-10-04 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many decades, science has followed a few well-accepted theories about the universe. There are many inconsistencies in these theories, and this book will introduce some new alternate concepts, which cannot be peer-reviewed, regarding the atom, gravity, time, the speed of light, and more. One major concept that we have been following for five centuries is one where our three-dimensional nature (which is changing continuously) is quantified through a mechanical, one-dimensional, static mathematic equation that does not recognize temperature or pressure. Traditionally, science has tried to predict how the universe functions by creating this modeling system for nature, but how can you possibly create an equation for nature, which is unique and ever-changing? Newton's theory of gravity has postulated that gravity is based on the mechanical weight of an object and is generated from the center of a planet, yet they cannot explain exactly what gravity is. We will show that the gravity of Earth, planets, and moons--in fact, the whole universe--is working with the temperature, pressure, and mass of an object on a molecular basis. Additionally, science has been following a standard modeling theory for an atom on a quantum mechanics level. Empirical evidence will show that an atom cannot be mechanical in nature or follow this man-made model. You will also be introduced to universal time, how time/space is relative, how science is wrong about the speed of light, the definition of three elements that are responsible for everything in the universe, and how the smallest unit of the universe was born and its journey to create heavier atoms. We will solve the mystery of the double-slit experiment as well as explain the character of space and the language of the universe. All this and more is described in easy-to-understand layman's terms.
