Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Wiley Hall is a collection of twenty-five short nonfiction stories. The stories are of people, places, and events that the author related to and experienced during his formative years in an orphanage. The characters are representative of humankind-stern, ignorant, wise, industrious, humorous, and playful. The beauty of the Adirondack Mountains come to life at the Camp. Gothic buildings standing tall and foreboding contrasted with the serenity of the chapels.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Two nights before Christmas, the city of New Stockford is so paralyzed by a blizzard that folks can't leave the downtown area to get home. Freezing from the icy wetness, eight strangers take shelter in the only building that is open-an old chapel on DeLancey Street. Although the chapel has been closed for two years, now Old Ben, the caretaker, opens it so that stranded people might find warmth and peace in what was once an inspirational setting on a historic, now rundown street. Once settled in, the tired and discouraged people are forced to face their lost lives. While each character is unique, their problems are universal-frustration, heartbreak, bitterness, reluctance, indifference, unemployment, vengefulness and corruption. Amid the chapel's stained glass windows depicting Christ's life, a nativity set, and the tall cross at the altar-plus programmed Christmas hymns from the old organ, glowing oak-paneled walls, and comfortable if well-worn pews, God shocks them by silently speaking to their hearts, minds, and souls. When they leave, all but one will have found and become committed to a life changing Christmas miracle. And for that one unchanged soul, there promises constant battles between good and evil. …

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Gods of Our Religion is a very deliberate conversation offering a 'for real' look at the gods within America's Christian churches. Culture in America is evolving into a self-centered consumer mentality. It should be no surprise that the Christian churches in America, in an attempt to survive, are moving in the same direction. Whether you consider yourself a Christian, atheist, agnostic, Jew, Muslim, or other religious designations, Gods of Our Religion seeks to whet your appetite to know more about the inside of Christianity in America. Humanistic culture and internal competition are redefining America's 'Christian' church world. Everyone believes something. If you believe in nothing, this nothing is the something in which you believe. Either way, something or nothing, one has to press into their belief system in order to overcome the contrasting winds blowing in both directions. America's Christian churches clearly illustrate the confusion that can occur when the cultural winds create a mixture of belief systems that supposedly have the same origin. But do they Gods of Our Religion is a hard-hitting and very opinionated conversation. Though there may be proclamations of progressiveness by church leaders, attention to detail internally reveals the humanistic influence that has in many ways altered what was once a true and genuine spiritual experience. Many of the gimmicks, sermons, and methods used to promote life within the 'ABC Church' lend themselves to creating religious waves dressed in attractive and colorful clothes, but with a growing spiritual deficit. There is no doubt external forces are at work against Christianity in America. But, there is a bigger internal conflict that is even more threatening. …

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - How would you change if you knew the Bible were the real, authoritative Word of God ¿ Where did the Bible come from ¿ Why do some claim the Bible is the Word of God ¿ What difference does it make what we think of the Bible The Bible has played a major role in the development of human culture and mankind from the beginning. Fitly Framed Together: The Bible can be a valuable resource that can possibly help your understanding and acceptance as to the validity and authority of the Bible. We may live in a bad news world, but there is actually good news in the Bible. The American people are subject to a tax code that is so enormous that it is ten times thicker than the Bible, and in the past ten years there have been more than five thousand editions and changes. But what has been written in the Bible and applied to the human race stands alone, firm, and unchanging. For Christians looking for a good Bible study, Fitly Framed Together: The Bible can strengthen your faith in the Scriptures, drawing you closer to God. For non-Christians, Fitly Framed Together: The Bible can at least give food for thought that there might be some legitimacy to the Bible, at least worthy of discussion. Nevertheless, a greater and deeper understanding of the Bible can be inspiring, and Fitly Framed Together: The Bible can help you better recognize and appreciate things you read in the Bible, unlocking God's Word to you. By the nature of its content, history, and presence, the Bible must be fitly framed together.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This is a trilogy about three separate epic climbs. Climbs that are difficult enough by themselves, but were made more grueling by the common thread of life-threatening heat. The insidious sun sucking energy, water, and even your willpower from a well-conditioned man made the hard climbs a more arduous task. Included in these stories are many other true-to-life adventures and narrow escapes for the author. Three Days of the Condor talks about camaraderie and the accomplishment of doing something difficult that few could accomplish. According to Jeff Lowe, 'There is a certain purity in engaging in what some would call a useless activity. When the climber confronts the overhang, he does so with the knowledge that no material gain will result from the competition of the task. He is confident that when he is done, the satisfaction will outweigh the effort.' I have always returned to the mountains for introspection. It must be at least partially genetic for man to seek the 'high ground,' for protection, exploration, or an attempt at communion with a higher power. Occasionally, the only reason is 'because it's there,' but even Mallory expanded on this when he explained, 'It is the struggle of life itself, forever upward. What we get from this adventure is sheer joy.' But if we can look down on ourselves from above, from the proverbial mountaintop, often we may be more objective-if not more rational.The ensuing vignettes recount the pursuit of my pilgrimage, my coming-of-age. It seemed like my endeavor for the exceptional view, and my own independence-truly a phenomenal golden period in my life. I learned how I felt about my own survival when on many of those summits. In these stories I strive to return to those times and mountains, in search of truth on the rocky temples. This is the visionary perspective I seek. These accounts of rock climbing are more than about climbing rocks-it is about that one thing in life that truly sets you free.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Throughout its 126-year history, Kentucky Military Institute educated more than eleven thousand young men and boys.

It is also for those who may one day walk arm in arm with another down this horrible road, facing grief's raw and searing pain. 'Great grief is a ferocious fire.

That final word is love, something that even suffering does not erase.' -Daniel Taylor, author of The Skeptical Believer ''We cannot walk out of the cemetery and into life as we knew it.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This is the second book of a trilogy. The first book was Fordess. It was the finale and basically told the story of what and why. This is the second book, simply Fordess't. The first book fleshed out the matter-of-fact reality that the different characters portrayed. It asked the question, would everything be different if everything was different It sounds simple enough, but the answer falls deeply into that deep, dark well. Is it all just relative like Plato and Uncle Albert suggests, or is it just rationale Whatever the truth, the second book wonders whether or not the concept of relative or rational has any real relevance. The characters stumble through a myriad of supposed slings and arrows, searching for Godot. Unfortunately, the point seems to be that neither POV holds the absolute truth because there is no such thing. It's all about the 'danger in being.' All of the best-laid plans turn asunder. Throw the dice; it's all about chance and probability. The whole point of Fordess't is to play. …
