Does Everyone Get a Turn to Be God?


Book Description

Throughout his life, Nemo Tee Noon, MD has faced trouble and confusion with regard to sexuality and gender identity. Even more stressful have been his battles with mental illness and learning disabilities. Despite these challenges, he received his M.D. degree from St. George's University School of Medicine, Grenada, West Indies in 1983, when he was 31 years old. He worked for two years as a psychiatric intern and resident, but suffered a nervous breakdown in 1985 and has been on disability since then. However, he did manage to earn a two-year brain wave (electroencephalography, EEG) technician's degree between 1986 and 1989. Moreover, he arrived at the conclusion that the mind and brain must be two different things, with the mind being a single particle that usually has its consciousizer switch turned on. The recent discovery (by physicists) of the "God Particle", a particle that imparts mass to all other particles, tends to support Noon's mind particle theory. According to his hypothesis, if God might be a single particle and you and I are made in God's image, then it stands to reason that we, too (each of us Earthlings) might be a single particle, albeit temporarily trapped inside a burdensome, vulnerable body or brain-body pair. He delineates how all past, present and future Earthlings will be rich, famous, brilliant, good-looking, etc. forever, starting at some time within the next 50 to 100 years. Also, how everyone could get a turn, sooner or later, to be God is touched on, in a preliminary way.

Let the Nations be Glad


Book Description

'Mission is not the ultimate goal of the church. Worship is. Missions exist because worship doesn't. Worship is ultimate.' John Piper's contemporary classic draws on key biblical texts to demonstrate that worship is the ultimate goal of the church and that proper worship fuels missionary outreach. Piper offers a biblical defence of God's supremacy in all things, providing a sound theological foundation for missions. He examines whether Jesus is the only way to salvation and issues a passionate plea for God-centredness in the missionary enterprise, seeking to define the scope of the task and the means for reaching 'all nations'. Let the Nations Be Glad! is a trusted resource for missionaries, pastors, church leaders, youth workers, seminary students, and all who want to connect their labours to God's global purposes. This third edition has been revised and expanded throughout and includes new material on the 'prosperity gospel'.




The Holiness of God


Book Description

Central to God’s character is the quality of holiness. Yet, even so, most people are hard-pressed to define what God’s holiness precisely is. Many preachers today avoid the topic altogether because people today don’t quite know what to do with words like “awe” or “fear.” R. C. Sproul, in this classic work, puts the holiness of God in its proper and central place in the Christian life. He paints an awe-inspiring vision of God that encourages Christian to become holy just as God is holy. Once you encounter the holiness of God, your life will never be the same.







What We Talk About When We Talk About God


Book Description

How God is described today strikes many as mean, primitive, backward, illogical, tribal, and at odds with the frontiers of science. At the same time, many intuitively feel a sense of reverence and awe in the world. Can we find a new way to talk about God? Pastor and New York Times bestselling author Rob Bell does here for God what he did for heaven and hell in Love Wins: he shows how traditional ideas have grown stale and dysfunctional and reveals a new path for how to return vitality and vibrancy to how we understand God. Bell reveals how we got stuck, why culture resists certain ways of talking about God, and how we can reconnect with the God who is with us, for us, and ahead of us, pulling us forward into a better future—and ready to help us live life to the fullest.
