Book Description

Your relationship with God is just a psychological crutch. Belief in God is dangerous. I used to believe, but I've given it all up. Is God real? Is it possible to know anything, let alone know him? Why do bad things happen to people who worship this God? What about the spiritual experiences of other faiths? All of these accusations, objections and questions have come directly from real-life situations. Amy Orr-Ewing writes, 'I hope that the thoughts offered here will help you see what the Christian faith has to say amid all the pain, confusion and complexity of life.'

Book Description

Michael Martz asks why so many people don’t understand God, think the Bible is too complicated, and are convinced that being “good” is enough. He challenges readers to take several steps back and reexamine what they believe to be true. Consider questions such as: • What’s the difference between Christianity and all other beliefs? • Do we have to choose between Christianity or science? • It is impossible to not have a religion—do you approach it forward, or backward? • Why is there no such a thing as an atheist? • What is salvation? Who decides? Why did the veil tear? • Can we fall from salvation? Are all three OSAS views wrong? • Why are so many who call themselves Christian, unsaved? Could that be you? • What does the Bible say about homosexuality, pornography, and sin—who does God hate? • What does scripture teach about universalism? Water baptism? • Will Christians go through the tribulation? What is the danger? • At the rapture, are wicked taken fi rst and righteous left behind? • Why do Jehovah’s Witnesses and Mormons carry verses they do not read (or think are corrupted)? This text strives to prove the reality and simplicity of the Bible, that it is scientific (but naturalism is not), and that a real person lived and died for us long ago, and returned from the dead. A person who claimed to be God, who now offers Himself for intimate communion with us. So many people perceive God and Jesus and the Spirit as detached and distant. Can we experience God personally?

Book Description

This is a real-life story. You will read and get an in-depth look of my childhood, family, my teen years, the years I spent in the service, running a business and all the good and bad in my life, that I had, clear up till I had lost it, where I was put in the hospital and then diagnosed with bipolar affective disorder/schizo affective disorder. It all started forty days before Easter of 2006, having visions or insights into the Bible while making a new law for the people, also having vibes and connections with spirits that allowed me to believe that the end of the world was upon us. This true life story takes you on a journey, which is believed to have come from God. During the second part of the story, I fight against evil or Satan himself, which makes me believe that I may possibly be the Antichrist if I dont do the right thing in order to save the world. I would tell people that Im the Chosen OneJesus Christ, the Second Coming, the Messiah, the Son of God or even the Lamb of God.

Book Description

Is it Real? is a collection of twenty-eight papers on the most challenging, provocative – and profound – topics related to the quest for real and virtual realities of vision and other senses, and realities that are either constructed or imagined. There was no school, no theory, no methodology, nor any empirical approach in semiotics which was not forced to take a position, whether implicitly or explicitly, in attempting to discuss this issue. Semiotics is a discipline dealing with signs, and, thus, it is commonly thought that if we say of something that it is a “sign”, then it is something “less” real than the thing itself to which it refers. As such, the field of problems which opens from the theme “Is it Real?” is almost endless – but also relevant. This volume presents interactive dialogue related to this question structured under six different headings: five papers on the topic of “Visual Realities”; six on “What is Real?”; five on “Textual Realities”, concentrating on realities revealed from literature or the written language through texts; five on “Constructed Realities”; three on “Virtual Realities”; and, finally, four papers on “Imagery Realities”.

Book Description

From a #1 New York Times bestseller, “page-turning romance about an unlikely couple who overcomes the glare of the public eye . . . addictive summer reading” (Publishers Weekly). Under ordinary circumstances, Oakley Ford and Vaughn Bennett would never even cross paths. There’s nothing ordinary about Oakley. This bad-boy pop star’s got Grammy awards, millions of fangirls and a reputation as a restless, too-charming troublemaker. But with his home life disintegrating, his music well suddenly running dry and the tabloids having a field day over his outrageous exploits, Oakley needs to show the world he’s settling down—and who better to help him than Vaughn, a part-time waitress trying to help her family get by? The very definition of ordinary. Posing as his girlfriend, Vaughn will overhaul Oakley’s image from troublemaker to serious artist. In return for enough money to put her brothers through college, she can endure outlandish Hollywood parties and carefully orchestrated Twitter exchanges. She’ll fool the paparazzi and the groupies. She might even start fooling herself a little. Because when ordinary rules no longer apply, there’s no telling what your heart will do . . . “Fun and addictive!” —Katie McGarry, award-winning author of Say You’ll Remember Me “A fast-paced, ‘he-said, she-said’ page-turner.” —School Library Journal “Undeniable fun. . . . A quintessential beach read.” —Kirkus Reviews
