Download or read book The Snare written by Lois Mowday Rabey and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2005-08-15 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most people don't plan to have an affair. And most of them think it could never happen to them. Because they don't recognize the subtle danger signs, they can suddenly find themselves in a dangerous relationship -- with devastating consequences. It can start off innocently enough. Someone cares enough to pay attention. To look into your eyes. To touch with understanding. Even with the best of motives, it's easy to slip gradually, almost imperceptibly, into the snare of an emotional or sexual entanglement. In The Snare -- a frank, sometimes startling book -- Lois Mowday Rabey gives us a clear look at the paths to sexual immorality using real-life accounts of Christians who have struggled and failed. She returns repeatedly to the single focus that conquers temptation: a strong personal relationship with Christ. And she outlines the clear guidelines in Scripture for establishing healthy relationships in today's value neutralÓ world. Rabey offers specific advice for conduct in the workplace (where many affairs begin), for gracefully getting out of compromising situations, and for single adults (whether never married, widowed, or divorced). We shouldn't push the issue of immorality aside because we seem to be okay, because we feel secure in the center of an evangelical church, have daily devotions, and memorize Scripture,Ó writes Rabey. We can have all these right practices and more, yet still fall.Ó Emotional and sexual entanglements are a snare. They are so enticing, so promising, and they offer something that seems so good. Lois Mowday Rabey helps us see them for the dangerous trap they really are. And she offers help to those wanting to avoid the snare or escape its grasp. Whether you work with people who struggle with this issue or you just want to protect yourself against the subtle snare of immorality, 'The Snare' is an invaluable resource.
Download or read book Side Roads Snares and Souls written by Bradley W. Antill and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2017-05-23 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God wants to show you something every day; dont miss it! Maybe it would help to get some glasses or maybe a friend who knows the way. Life has often been referred to as a journey, and as the author often finds his daily journey deep in the timbered swamps of the Atlantic coastal plain, that is where he looks for Gods fingerprints. He is a master storyteller. Like his Master before him, he is a parable caster. That Greek word, parable comes from two root words: one meaning to be similar and the other meaning alongside. Brads Master has gifted him with the ability to cast alongside us some stories that help us gain a better glimpse of who we are, who Jesus is, and who we can be as we follow him in this journey of life. In other words, Brad helps our souls avoid the snares of the enemy and helps us avoid all the side roads that our flesh wants to veer onto. Brad takes us into the swamp in order to lead us to the Savior. It doesnt make sense, but neither does a Jewish carpenter ruling the world. Read along and enjoy the ride! Reverend David Kizziah; International Mission Board; Lusaka, Zambia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This anthology of contemporary Estonian short fiction meets an important need. Although Estonian writers have been known as bold and exciting innovators testing the bounds of Soviet literary doctrine, much of that reputation is based on hearsay. This collection charts the return of modernism to Estonian prose fiction at the end of the sixties and the beginning of the seventies and its subsequent evolution during the following two decades. It also introduces English-language readers to a vigorous and original contemporary literature.

Download or read book The Lives and Extraordinary Adventures of Fifteen Tramp Writers from the Golden Age of Vagabondage written by Ian Cutler and published by Feral House. This book was released on 2020-02-25 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The combined events of the end of the American Civil War in 1865, the first transcontinental railroad opening in 1869, and the financial crash of 1873, found large numbers—including thousands of former soldiers well used to an outdoor life and tramping—thrown into a transient life and forced to roam the continent, surviving on whatever resources came to hand. For most, the life of the hobo was born out of necessity. For a few it became a lifestyle choice. Some of the latter group committed their adventures to print, both autobiographical and fictional, and together with their British and Irish counterparts, whose wanderlust was fueled by an altogether different genesis, they account for the fifteen tramp writers whose stories and ideas are the subject of this book. The lives of some, like Jack Everson, Jack Black and Tom Kromer, are told in a single volume, others, like Morley Roberts and Stephen Graham, have eighty and fifty published works to their credit respectively. Some remain completely unknown and their books are long since out of print, others, like Trader Horn and Jim Tully, were Hollywood celebrities. Others yet, such as Black, Tulley, Horn, Bart Kennedy, Leon Ray Livingstone, and Jack London, had their stories immortalized in film.

This book was released on 1957-01-01 with total page 6687 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For some time I have been preparing a general work on primitive superstition and religion. Among the problems which had attracted my attention was the hitherto unexplained rule of the Arician priesthood; and last spring it happened that in the course of my reading I came across some facts which, combined with others I had noted before, suggested an explanation of the rule in question. As the explanation, if correct, promised to throw light on some obscure features of primitive religion, I resolved to develop it fully, and, detaching it from my general work, to issue it as a separate study. This book is the result. Now that the theory, which necessarily presented itself to me at first in outline, has been worked out in detail, I cannot but feel that in some places I may have pushed it too far. If this should prove to have been the case, I will readily acknowledge and retract my error as soon as it is brought home to me. Meantime my essay may serve its purpose as a first attempt to solve a difficult problem, and to bring a variety of scattered facts into some sort of order and system. A justification is perhaps needed of the length at which I have dwelt upon the popular festivals observed by European peasants in spring, at midsummer, and at harvest. It can hardly be too often repeated, since it is not yet generally recognised, that in spite of their fragmentary character the popular superstitions and customs of the peasantry are by far the fullest and most trustworthy evidence we possess as to the primitive religion of the Aryans. Indeed the primitive Aryan, in all that regards his mental fibre and texture, is not extinct. He is amongst us to this day. The great intellectual and moral forces which have revolutionised the educated world have scarcely affected the peasant. In his inmost beliefs he is what his forefathers were in the days when forest trees still grew and squirrels played on the ground where Rome and London now stand.

Download or read book Traditional Cosmology vol 5 Solar and Lunar Anomalies written by Marinus Anthony van der Sluijs and published by All-Round Publications. This book was released on 2018-01-01 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work, in 6 volumes, is a compendium of traditional cosmologies worldwide. The material includes the global mythology of creation and destruction, but also comprises information drawn from other areas of traditional knowledge, ritual, iconography, shamanism, costume, and dance. Relying on original sources, universal points of agreement are identified, often on counter-intuitive ideas. These suggest a single template, a blueprint for a universal mythology of origins with local variations. Volume 5 documents a large number of traditions concerning unusual and often undesirable properties and activities of the sun and moon. To name just a few examples, prominent beliefs were that the moon was originally brighter than the sun and that the earth once succumbed to the heat caused by the sun's former proximity, its greater strength, its failure to move or the appearance of multiple luminaries.
