Strangers on Earth


Book Description

Strangers On Earth broadens and diversifies how we look at youth straying away from God facing temptations of life while melting the readers hearts with the failures of men, immigration issues, and the salvation of sinners. This page-turner is accelerated over hip-hop stylized narratives of a young mans tragic story of a family torn apart by a life of crime who strangely finds solace in the arms of Christ. The Perfect Stranger To Meet.

Strangers From The Sky


Book Description

The planets Earth and Vulcan experience a mysterious first contact in this fascinating Star Trek novel featuring the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise. Years before the formal first contact between Earth and another planet’s inhabitants, a Vulcan space vessel crash landed in the South Pacific, forcing humanity to decide whether to offer the hand of friendship, or the fist of war. Complicating matters is a second visitation: a group of people from two hundred years in the future, who serve on a starship called Enterprise. Discover the astonishing truth about this heretofore unknown first contact and the nightmares that plague Admiral James T. Kirk. Dreams of his dead comrades, of his earliest days aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise, and of a forgotten past in which he somehow changed the course of history and destroyed the Federation before it began.




Pilgrims and Strangers on the Earth


Book Description

Pilgrims and Strangers On The Earth provides new evidence that indicates: * The original race of man was brought here from other planets by a race of extraterrestrial humans. * Two hundred "Watchers" or "sons of heaven" were left to observe the genesis of mankind. * The "Watchers" interfered with and corrupted the first creation and became the "fallen angels." * The second generation, started after the flood, was also overseen by "sons of heaven" or angels and was led by one who became known as "The Lord." * The Lord of the Bible was an advanced extraterrestrial human being and not the creator, God. * The Bible is a chronicle of the interactions between the people of earth and the "Sons of Heaven."




A Stranger in the House of God


Book Description

Growing up the son of agnostics, John Koessler saw a Catholic church on one end of the street and a Baptist on the other. In the no-man’s land between the two, this curious outside wondered about the God they worshipped—and began a lifelong search to comprehend the grace and mystery of God. A Stranger in the House of God addresses fundamental questions and struggles faced by spiritual seekers and mature believers. Like a contemporary Pilgrim’s Progress, it traces the author’s journey and explores his experiences with both charismatic and evangelical Christianity. It also describes his transformation from religious outsider to ordained pastor. John Koessler provides a poignant and often humorous window into the interior of the soul as he describes his journey from doubt and struggle with the church to personal faith




Stranger in a Strange Land


Book Description

The original uncut edition of STRANGER IN A STRANGE LAND by Hugo Award winner Robert A Heinlein - one of the most beloved, celebrated science-fiction novels of all time. Epic, ambitious and entertaining, STRANGER IN A STRANGE LAND caused controversy and uproar when it was first published and is still topical and challenging today. Twenty-five years ago, the first manned mission to Mars was lost, and all hands presumed dead. But someone survived... Born on the doomed spaceship and raised by the Martians who saved his life, Valentine Michael Smith has never seen a human being until the day a second expedition to Mars discovers him. Upon his return to Earth, a young nurse named Jill Boardman sneaks into Smith's hospital room and shares a glass of water with him, a simple act for her but a sacred ritual on Mars. Now, connected by an incredible bond, Smith, Jill and a writer named Jubal must fight to protect a right we all take for granted: the right to love.




Strangers on Earth


Book Description

"The Red and White," Troyat's previous novel about the Danovs during the revolution, was one of the outstanding books of 1957. "Strangers on Earth" has the same distinction in the writing and relates an even more enthralling story, with more penetration into character. While it is a sequel to the first, it can be read on its own. Once again the background is firsthand and authentic; Troyat fled with his own Russian family to Paris.




Strangers in This World


Book Description

Immigration is one of the most hotly debated topics today. But, the question involves more than politics and emotion; it includes such critical issues as law, justice, human rights, human dignity, and freedom. Strangers in This World is a collection that brings together an international consortium of scholars to reflect on the religious, political, anthropological, and social realities of immigration through the prism of the historical and theological resources, insights, and practices across an array of religious traditions. The volume, reflecting the diversity of religious cultures, is nevertheless unified in arguing that immigration is an important aspect of the major religions and is found at their core. The contributors unfold this important dimension of the religious traditions and explore the ways that the theme of immigration connects to vital points of theological reflection and practice in Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and Native American religious traditions. At root, the volume is about our collective journey together as immigrant peoples who have stories and settlements to share, as well as challenges and struggles to overcome, that may be faced through the resources our many faiths offer.
