Unparalleled Parallels


Book Description

People talk about freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of press etc. Do they really free us? Unfortunately, the truth is far beyond. Then, what is real freedom? Real freedom is not expecting anything in return from anybody. Can this be achieved? Yes..Lao Tzu and Shri Krishna show us the royal road to freedom. They show us how to win by losing...how to serve without taking credit..how to wage war without enmity...and that is the icing on the cake. Lao Tzu says 'be a guest' or live like a 'guest'. A guest stays for a short period of time. He will be accommodative and non-demanding and accept with gratitude whatever is offered by his host. We are here for a short period of time, just like the guest. In this period of our sojourn on this earth, if we develop the qualities of a guest just mentioned, we enjoy peace. The host also becomes more gracious with such a guest. They are comfortable with each other and such comfort in each others' presence is divine communion.




Unparalleled


Book Description

How Christianity's Unmatched Truth Answers the Deepest Longings of Every Human Heart To the popular objection Aren't all religions basically the same? pastor and author Jared Wilson answers with an enthusiastic No! Christianity is not merely one among many similar options. It is categorically different--and it's these differences that make it so compelling. In Unparalleled, Wilson holds up the teachings of the Bible to the clear light of day, revealing how Christianity rises above every other religion and philosophy of the world, and how its unmatched truth answers the deepest longings of every human heart. He provides an overview of Christianity's key claims showing how, from top to bottom, it is distinct from all other competing ideologies, religious and secular. Christians will come away with a fresh sense of the truth of their faith and nonbelievers will be compelled to consider the relevant claims of Christianity in a drastically new light.




The Incredible Parallel


Book Description

Can these real-life research, interviews, and scientific experiments conducted on ten animals reveal the incredible parallel to human personality for a successful marriage, relationships, accelerated leadership growth, and self-understanding that God purposed for your life? Why would one of the wisest men to ever live tell his son to go study the way of the ant to become successful and debt free? Why do male porcupines leave after impregnating the females and the snake senses my heartbeat to manipulate my emotions? Why did my parents tell me, “Don’t make a horse of yourself” (unbelievably interesting), and to identify a sly fox and cunning wolf before falling victim? Does finding an entrapped baboon hilarious be an internal mirror reflecting my thought pattern? Why do eagles and elephants prepare their offspring then push them out for independence, while the frog rather dies in its own ego, yet the zebra doesn’t?

Ephesians


Book Description

This book analyzes Paul's Letter to the Ephesians and demonstrates that the Letter's implied audience heard its individual units as a rich and complex pattern of chiastic structures. It shows that, not only is the entire Letter arranged in fifteen units that function as a comprehensive chiastic structure, but that each of these fifteen units in turn exhibits its own chiastic structure. By attending carefully to the structure and rhetoric of Ephesians, this work demonstrates how the implied audience is persuaded and empowered by the progression of the Letter to “walk in love” and so contribute to the cosmic unity of all things in Christ.

Parallel Worlds


Book Description

By 2227, space travel is commonplace. Milestone achievements in space are realized in the fields of surgery and manufacturing. The solar system is teaming with space stations, territories and even a new country. This new age comes with longstanding challenges. The greatest being the enormous amount of building materials and fuel required for this expansion. As distant spatial mines are exhausted, fierce competition for resources threatens civil war. Our only chance is to accomplish the impossible. We look to a new frontier; untapped, neighboring star systems with room for a displaced population. Unable to surpass the speed of light or find a suitable worm hole, we experiment with an unorthodox means of rapid deep space exploration. Accomplishing the impossible results in an outcome no one sees coming.
