Download or read book Beyond Da Vinci written by John Ingram and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2006-07-27 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The History of mankind is very cyclical. How often has it been said, "history repeats itself." Since time immemorial a repetitive theme in the human drama is Gnosticism, a teaching that special hidden knowledge leads to spiritual enlightenment. Gnostic myths have also focused on the sexual union of gods or goddesses with humans. The recent furor over the fictional novel and movie, The Da Vinci Code, has once again challenged the authenticity of the Christian Gospel, and brought new focus on Gnostic myths. Readers and movie-goers are encouraged to accept the dubious writings of "lost gospels" and reject the canonical teachings of the Bible. In those 2nd and 3rd century sources, the real Jesus who interacted with leaders, cared for the weak and sick, even loving the dregs of society, is exchanged for a strange creature that only appears to be human and bears no likeness to the Jewish man who died on a cruel Roman Cross. Beyond Da Vinci presents the real Jesus through the rich nuptial imagery of the Old and New Testaments. The reader meets the true Bride of Christ and learns of the incredible consummation of Bride and Bridegroom that is yet to come. Are there false Brides? Was Jesus of Nazareth married? Was he just a man or was he divine? Come partake of this incredible journey through the greatest romance of history; a journey to the truth.
Download or read book Light While There Is Light written by Keith Waldrop and published by Deep Vellum Publishing. This book was released on 2013-03-05 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the unheralded masterpieces of twentieth-century American fiction, Light While There Is Light is acclaimed poet Keith Waldrop's autobiographical novel about the myriad ghosts left behind by his family. Born to a deeply religious mother, the narrator and his siblings are led across the US as she searches for the "right" religious sect—a trip that ends with her speaking in tongues, and finally her total isolation. But no synopsis can do justice to the beauty of Keith Waldrop's measured, wise, and unembroidered prose, illuminating the fear, madness, and destruction within hearth and home—though never repudiating his love for same. In a tradition that stretches back through Flannery O'Connor and William Faulkner to Hawthorne, Melville, and Poe, Keith Waldrop and Light While There Is Light are American treasures.

Today, the Jewish people make up less than 1% of the world's population. However, their contribution in global affairs is enormous. This book presents a unique perspective about Jewish culture and history. It sets out to investigate the causes of the success of the Jewish people. The History & Mystery of the Jewish People unleashes some core elements and aspects of the Jewish society that have enabled Jews to remain at the helm of affairs in professions and institutions for centuries. It uses a rationalist approach to go over the history of the Jewish people. It examines the individual and collective philosophies that have shaped the thought and mindset of the Jewish people for the past centuries. The book undertakes some comparative analysis between the Jewish society and culture and the African society. It identifies the equivalents of the Jewish culture in the Sub-Saharan African community. This piece ventures into elements of Jewish history from Ancient Israel to the Destruction of the Second Temple. It gives a vivid account about events that led to the creation of the modern state of Israel. This daring quest brings to light some elements of today's society like the root of the War on Terror amongst others. The book is a unique narration by an African writer in an African context.
Download or read book GodaEUR tm s Turtle on a Fence Post written by Joan (Henry) Farr and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2024-10-31 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The helicopter lifted off from a small village in the rainforest of Papua New Guinea. Joan sat, tears pouring down her cheeks, staring blankly out the window, unable to take it in. Ten years of her life, her whole heart, and all her creativity had been invested there. Was it now to be abruptly torn away forever, with no completion or closure?" This was just one of a succession of dramas and challenges that seemed to characterize Joan's career as a missionary involved in Bible translation. The desperation she often felt drove her deeply and intensely to God. That is why the imagery of the title was chosen, based on the following quotation: May your life so resemble a turtle on a fence post that all who see you will know that you could not possibly have gotten there by yourself. The book is full of God moments and insights as Joan, through a lifelong process, becomes God's own "turtle on a fence post." You'll read about spiritual darkness, confusion, and discouragement, but also joyful mountaintop discoveries, the challenges and fascination of translating God's Word into a previously unwritten language, and how a good sense of humor definitely helps maintain sanity under pressure. Joan says, "I'm very much hoping that you, my reader, will find multiple connection points even if your life circumstances are vastly different than mine, because our God is working toward similar goals in all of us: to make us more like Him. That is why I have chosen to be quite transparent with you, hoping it will help you identify with me, warts and all. It is God's hand that I want you to look for, with an open heart, as you read my stories. May my hard-won lessons also help you in your journey."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “I read what you sent and really enjoyed it. It is very poignant. Please let me know when you published it. It reminds me of John Eldredge’s Wild at Heart: Discovering the Secret of a Man’s Soul.” —Clarence Harmon, Engineer Being an Alpha Male has nothing to do with: Muscle size, fitness level or combat skills Education, income or vocation Looks, personality or ability to attract women Height, weight, body piercings or tattoos Car, truck, motorcycle, boat or ATV Skill level for various sports Clothes or electronic gadgets Many men believe what they do changes who they are. They hope the things they own and the exaggerations they speak fill the void in their souls eradicating their haunting deficiencies. For many “Let the games begin!” is a non-fulfilling, empty lifestyle of game-playing, hopelessness, loneliness, and self-doubt. The journey to Alpha Manhood is challenging so few men begin. Instead, they build a façade concealing their true identity. They take the external trail. The trail to true Alpha Manhood is the internal trail revealed in Scriptures. It’s YOUR time! YOUR time to begin is NOW! YOUR place to begin is HERE! Semper Fi
