Paperback. Condition: Very Good. What we believe is our filter for everything. Our beliefs dictate how we walk before God, how we see people, sin, disease, and life. What we believe matters. What we believe about the Bible matters even more. What the Bible actually says matters most. Everyone has theology, whether Christians or atheist. And just because we believe something does not make it true, accurate, or correct. God said that His people were destroyed because of their lack of knowledge (Hosea 4:6). How devastating when we have such an abundance to study the Bible. Engineers study for a degree, so that they can build buildings, yet so many Christians don't study in order to build their lives. Book 1: Curses and Book 2: Demons and Christians have both been a subject of study for me since the late 1990s. Since George and I have moved a great deal, we have been a part of many different churches. When I first started to study these two subjects we were in a church where Christians were constantly breaking curses off each other and casting demons out of each other as their solutions to their problems. Whether it was sexual problems, financial, interpersonal, mental, or prayer problems, the answer was to break it off or cast it out. It was in the midst of this barrage of problems that the Lord opened my eyes to His truth concerning curses and demonic habitation within Christians. Jesus said, And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free (John 8:32). Let us be students of the truth. Confronting the Wind is a systematic biblical treatise discussing the subjects of curses, demonology, and New Testament living. What are generational curses? Have you ever wondered if you were under a generational curse? Do the words of mortals have spiritual power to bind you? Have the words spoken by others, or even yourself, bound you by forces unseen in the natural world? If so, then how can you be free? And what about creation, is it cursed? And regarding demons: Can demons curse you? Can they live inside you? Just exactly what power do they have over mankind or Christians? How can we walk in victory? What is biblical New Testament Christian living? Confronting the Wind answers there questions through careful exegesis.…

Hardback. Condition: Very Good. In Be Different, New York Times bestselling author of Look Me in the Eye shares a new batch of endearing stories about his childhood, adolescence, and young adult years, giving the reader a rare window into the Autistic mind. In his bestselling memoir, Look Me in the Eye, John Elder Robison described growing up with Autism Spectrum Disorder at a time when the diagnosis didn't exist. He was intelligent but socially isolated; his talents won him jobs with toy makers and rock bands but did little to endear him to authority figures and classmates, who were put off by his inclination to blurt out non sequiturs and avoid eye contact. By the time he was diagnosed at age forty, John had already developed a myriad of coping strategies that helped him achieve a seemingly normal, even highly successful, life. In each story, he offers practical advice for anyone who feels different on how to improve the weak communication and social skills that keep so many people from taking full advantage of their often remarkable gifts. With his trademark honesty and unapologetic eccentricity, Robison addresses questions like: - How to read others and follow their behaviors when in uncertain social situations- Why manners matter- How to harness your powers of concentration to master difficult skills- How to deal with bullies- When to make an effort to fit in, and when to embrace eccentricity- How to identify special gifts and use them to your advantage Every person has something unique to offer the world, and every person has the capacity to create strong, loving bonds with their friends and family. Be Different will help readers and those they love find their path to success.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * A "deeply felt and often darkly funny" (People) memoir about growing up feeling different--and finally being diagnosed with autism at 40 "Lean, powerful in its descriptive accuracy, and engaging in its understated humor . . . Emotionally gripping."--Chicago Tribune Ever since he was young, John Robison longed to connect with other people, but by the time he was a teenager, his odd habits--an inclination to blurt out non sequiturs, avoid eye contact, dismantle radios, and dig five-foot holes (and stick his younger brother, Augusten Burroughs, in them)--had earned him the label "social deviant." It was not until he was forty that he was diagnosed with a form of autism called Asperger's syndrome. That understanding transformed the way he saw himself--and the world. A born storyteller, Robison has written a moving, darkly funny memoir about a life that has taken him from developing exploding guitars for KISS to building a family of his own. It's a strange, sly, indelible account--sometimes alien yet always deeply human.…
