Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - John 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this; that a man lay down his life for his friends. The Great X-Cape II (God's Amazing Love) takes spiritual concepts from my first book, The Great X-Cape, expounds on those spiritual concepts in more detail, and is a continuation of my first book. Through the storms, through the valleys, and through the fire, God has been a constant source of motivation, inspiration, and comfort, and He has been my bridge over troubled water as I continue to make my great escape each day by faith. He is God on the mountain and He is still God even if we are facing the darkest valley that we could have ever imagined. There is a hiding place in God that we can enter into where our troubles can no longer find us as we find our faith in God and place our complete confidence in Him. God has turned my greatest tragedies into my greatest victories, my impossibilities into possibilities, and has become, to me, the greatest Superhero that I have ever known. When we surrender our self-made invisible cape to God, we will find that nothing is impossible with Him.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The past few decades have seen remarkable technological growth in the delivery of modern medicine. Pharmaceutical, diagnostic, and surgical interventions have transformed the way in which health is perceived and medicine is practiced. The modern patient has become so dependent upon these therapies and interventions that they take a passive interest in their health. For author Dr. Mark W. Hatcher, this is a symptom of a culture in crisis-doctors treat disease instead of fostering health. Using real-life examples from a busy emergency room, he investigates this health-care crisis and reevaluates what it means to be healthy. In Beyond Desire: Rediscovering Health and Wellness, Hatcher examines the assumptions upon which the modern medical world is founded, explores the healing methods that have been practiced for centuries by healers around the world, and proposes a strategy for health that focuses on the importance of the mind and spirit in achieving and maintaining health. Beyond Desire shows how the practices of meditation, yoga, tai chi, acupuncture, proper eating, and selfless service are the true pathways to healing and rediscovering health and wellness.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Our universe is a slow motion matter 'Factory'. The matter that our universe continuously produces, is made from the matter that is continuously 'emitted' into our universe, at the very center of our universe. This matter contains all of the internal information necessary to produce a larger version of it's smaller self. As this matter travels from the center of our universe 'outward', it goes through a specific, continuously balancing amount of accumulation transformations. All of these accumulation transformations happen in a very specific, continuously balancing sequence. Our universe 'is' the continuously balancing activity of this entire specific, continuously balancing sequence. All of the continuously balancing behaviors of our universe are 'Constant'. All of the continuously balancing behaviors of our universe are happening 'Now'. The matter that is passing through our universe is on a journey. All matter is on a journey. 'One' specific journey. All of matter's behaviors are simply transformations of this 'one' specific journey.This is not a book of answers. This is a book of observations, based solely on the process of elimination.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This is the manuscript as it was submitted to a New York publisher. It arrived in a brown paper wrapper tied with string and wrapped in Scotch tape. It was soggy and battered, and the return address and half the cover letter were missing. For this reason, we did not know who the author actually was . An extensive search has convinced us that the name Michelangelo Schwartz is a nom de plume meant to shield him from the wrath of his friends and colleagues. And make no mistake about it, wrath there will be. Join us for a roller coaster ride across American higher education that takes us from the top graduate schools to an online university whose motto is 'Welcome to a college that has no class.' Meet Dr. Michelangelo Schwartz, a drunken and philandering Dante scholar who descends into the same circles of hell he bored his students with. Meet Sister Bill, the dean of discipline at a Catholic women's college. The good sister carries a metal ruler-and is not afraid to use it. Meet Jim Bob Rules, president of Lee Harvey Oswald Community College in Sheets, Texas, who only has the job because his father-in-law is chairman of the board. Meet Senator Brandon Stubblefield, who wants to clean up higher education-that is, until he finds himself in a sticky situation.If you ever wondered why so many people are mad at higher education, wonder no more. Enjoy your stay at The University of Last Resort.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Life is frustratingly unfair. Jobs are lost, the body grows ill, good people turn out to be evil, friends fail, enemies win, ideals disappoint, and faith grows weak. It is so discouraging to see people who never have a difficulty and never suffer. Always on the mountaintop, they leave many feeling inadequate wondering, 'What's wrong with me ' The storms of life threaten to overwhelm us with a hurricane's relentless fury. If you have ever lost your zeal to serve, ever felt so tired you wanted to quit, ever doubted why you should keep trying, then you know the paralyzing aftermath of life's storms that conceal the joy for which God created you. You know the humdrum existence to which this world has succumbed. It seems like you are just drifting along in an unfamiliar wilderness. Wandering is tolerable; it requires minimal effort and it's relatively comfortable. You offend no one and you keep your distance. You are lost but you are moving, so why add anything more to your plate Busy and preoccupied, you go through the motions day after day after exhausting day. Jesus changes all that. He is faithful, walking where you have walked. He cries your tears. He understands your regret. He smiles at every effort and heals your wounds, rebuking the raging storms of life.

He rescues you from those in the world who would devour you. He can restore your zeal and your desire to serve. In these accounts, you will experience the joy, the fear, the delight, and especially the wonder of walking with Jesus on your journey back to Paradise.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The book is a Supplement to a book of the same title heading - a fictional colloquy about the comings-of-age of Penelope, her sister Ipthime and her first cousins born into their royal House of Oebalos.
