Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world (John 16:33).Evil and suffering are real, widespread, and severe in this world-sickness, loss, poverty, rejection, injustice, and many more. No person, ethnic group, or nation is exempt from them. Most likely, you may have gone through hardships one time or another. These ills leave many hurting, discouraged, hopeless, and wondering if there is meaning and purpose to this life. Also, many ask if there is a God who cares or is in control of the universe. The author discusses evil and suffering from a biblical position, examining several viewpoints as well as biblical reasons and solutions for suffering. In his view, we suffer mainly because we live in a fallen world of moral evil and physical danger-a world marred by sin and evil forces. Afflictions may come from natural disasters, epidemics, social injustices, evil and reckless choices, evil forces, and many more. However, we are reassured that God is always in control, our constant help, able to turn adversity around for our good, and will end pain and suffering someday for all who trust and follow Him. In Him alone do we find lasting strength and healing for the troubles of this life and hope for eternity of bliss.The book is worth reading because it: - informs biblically and helps us make a sense of life's troubles - brings meaning, purpose, and direction to life - offers hope, comfort, and encouragement to the afflicted - outlines biblical ways for dealing with adversity; - reassures us that God is in charge, our help, and can bring some good out of our troubles- invites us to prepare for an eternity of perfect happiness through faith in Jesus. The book is clear and to the point, engaging, eye-opening, and uplifting. As you read it, may you hear and see the living God who rules over all, finding in Him peace and strength for this life and hope for eternity of perfect happiness through faith in Jesus-an eternity free of evil, pain, and suffering. …

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - What if the ghosts said to walk among us aren't just the stuff of old tales, but part of our shared human story For over fifteen years, social philosopher G.V. Loewen has traveled through rural landscapes, sat with elders, and collected hundreds of firsthand accounts of encounters with the otherworldly. Drawing on a decade of fieldwork and narrative research into human anxieties, mortality, and the afterlife-as well as chance encounters with both the earthly and the potentially unearthly-Loewen blends personal experience, empirical observation, and philosophical insight to take readers on a journey through the unseen corners of our world and the curious beings said to inhabit them.In this unique compendium, you'll explore the most common categories of supposed spirits, their reported intentions toward the living, and what these tales reveal about our deepest fears and desires. Yet beyond curiosity, Loewen uses these accounts as a serious lens on human consciousness itself: why do stories of the spirit world persist across cultures What can they teach us about life, death, and the meanings we make of both At once accessible and intellectually rigorous, engaging and unsettling, A Field Guide to Common Ghosts is more than a simple catalogue of spectral phenomena. It invites readers to step boldly into the shared space of imagination and ask not only what might lie beyond the veil, but what it truly means to be alive.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Eastern and Western philosophy and experience clash as Munirah Maclean seeks to sustain her faith and values and find a place within the movement around the Sheikh.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - There's victory in Jesus-just lay it all on the altar. Surrender-simply follow God's will for your life. On the surface, these directions seem straightforward, but have you ever wondered what, exactly, they mean Have you chased after God, trying to establish a closer walk with Him, but never felt like you've moved toward that goal Are you discouraged in your Christian walk because, try as you might, your life is not vibrant, peaceful, or particularly fulfilling Do you wonder what God's will really is and how you might find it How does being a Christian influence your identity If you are seeking to understand how to live the deeply satisfying, Christ-centred life that you hear exhorted from your local pulpit-read on.Know Yourself and Live Free sheds light on these questions, explaining why Christians often live defeated, unsatisfying lives. It explores the concepts of spirit and soul, discussing the soul's component parts and their roles in the Christian's frustration and challenge. Pastor Tysdal invites you to discover your loving Heavenly Father and your true identity and addresses the obstacles that stand in the way of experiencing who you really are in Christ. Throughout, Scripture provides a strong foundation of truth that highlights what identity in Jesus really is, and how the Holy Spirit leads to practical applications of those important truths.Tysdal's personal quest for his identity in Christ helped strip away many of the superficial things that he had associated with his nature, allowing him to find the foundation of who he was in Jesus. He discovered what true freedom could look and feel like. Written from a humble spirit, this thoughtful and deliberate narrative offers insight and attitudes that can lead to freedom and clarity in a journey with Christ. Know Yourself and Live Free wipes away the cobwebs of confusion and provides a clear pathway to a life of blessing that might have seemed impossible, but isn't.…
