Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - What are the things that bring joy to a Christian Certainly one of them is the knowledge that he is saved and will spend eternity in heaven with God. Another is reading God's Word regularly. Psalm 119:11 says, 'Your statutes are my heritage forever; they are the joy of my heart.' Reading the Bible should bring joy to a Christian every day of his life. Why Because God is revealed in the Bible. Reading the Bible gives Christians a greater appreciation of the love God has for us, the promises He has made to us, and the glorious eternity He has prepared for us. And nowhere are these Truths more evident than in the New Testament, the portion of the Bible which tells us about the New Covenant God has made with mankind through the blood of Jesus Christ.Yet for many Christians the Bible is a difficult book to read. Quoting from The Joy of the New Covenant, 'Many people approach the Bible just like they approach any other book: they skim a few pages to see if they get 'hooked,' and maybe jump around to several different sections. But they soon discover that the Bible doesn't read like their favorite novel, and it contains a message that is at odds with the world. So they lose interest and don't read it very often.' Christians should never be put off by the Bible. One thing they can do to help them understand it is read supplemental books that talk about the Bible. The Joy of the New Covenant is just such a book. It is a book of over 200 devotionals aimed at explaining the major points of the New Testament. Each devotional contains a message built on one or more New Testament passages. The message explains the meaning of the passage and, where appropriate, challenges the readers to apply the passage in their lives. Other messages point out how blessed Christians are that the statements God made in the passage are true.The topics covered in The Joy of the New Covenant include the major points of Christian theology. The very first message focuses on the divinity of Jesus, emphasizing that He was not just an ordinary man but was and is the Son of God who came to earth and lived as a man. The second message describes how human Jesus was while He was on earth, even though He was also God. Additional topics include salvation by faith apart from works, the Holy Trinity, the parables of Jesus, prayer, the Lord's Prayer, the Beatitudes and other teachings from the Sermon on the Mount, the twelve disciples, the life and major teachings of Paul, election, spiritual gifts, family relationships, heaven, angels and demons, and the seven letters to the churches in Asia. The book also includes messages on the coming Rapture, the Tribulation, signs of the end times, Jesus' 1000 year reign, and eternity. The final message in the book challenges the reader to select a life verse from a list of key Bible verses.The Joy of the New Covenant addresses many of the hard questions of Christianity-questions like: \* Why does God allow Christians to suffer \* How are God's election and man's free choice reconciled \* Can salvation be lost \* Why does the Lord's Prayer tell us to ask for forgiveness when Christians are already forgiven \* Since God predestined Jesus to die on the cross, can Judas be held accountable for betraying Jesus \* What is the 'unpardonable sin' Jesus mentioned in Matthew 12 \* What is God's position on Christians having wealth The book attempts to answer all of these questions and others, but at the same time recognizes that God does not always reveal the reasons for His actions and commandments.While no book should ever be used as a substitute for the Bible, The Joy of the New Covenant supplements the Bible by giving the reader a greater understanding of the New Testament. This understanding will bring joy to any Christian.…

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - A fictional love story set amidst the shocking reality of 9/11, this narrative parallels the plight of America as it searches for solutions to a senseless and ill-conceived war with a couple struggling to work through their own personal conflicts. A love story set against one of the greatest tragedies in U.S. history, Pilgrim Souls beautifully shows how understanding the other side is an essential step toward healing rifts between individuals as well as nations. 'I found this fictional story to have the depth to make anyone relate to the facts on one of the great tragedies in U.S. history. Very convincing and devastating to America's image as the beacon of democracy.' Major General Antonio Taguba, the Army general whose report on his investigation into theAbu Ghraib prison abuse created worldwide outcry. Pilgrim Souls opens with the tragic scene of two airplanes flying into the North and South Towers of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. Through two brothers, one the Attorney General of California and the other a staff member in the office of the U.S. Secretary of State in Washington, the narrative weaves together many of the facts that Americans experienced before and after this terrorist attack: the un-preparedness of the intelligence agencies before the attack on the World Trade Center; the determination of the Bush administration to rearrange the map of the Middle East; the manipulation of the CIA who were ordered to find a reason to go into Iraq; the op-ed article released by Ambassador Joseph Wilson attacking President Bush for using the infamous Niger Report as a justification for the war; the retaliation of the administration by leaking the identity of Wilson's wife, Valerie Plame, as a CIA agent; and the inhumane treatment of the detainees in Abu Ghraib. The story ties together these separate but related issues in a compelling narrative that offers a general understanding of what happened behind the scenes in the lead up to the Iraqi war. Ultimately, through interviews with international experts, the brothers create a new diplomatic foreign policy for the next presidential administration that would open the way to more peaceful solutions to world relations. Running parallel to this is the more intimate story of Attorney General Kyle Anderson and his partner, Jenny Roberts, a couple deeply in love but struggling to find harmony amidst their differing views toward their relationship. Recently divorced after a twenty-year marriage, Kyle wants a traditional marriage with the woman he loves. It seems a simple enough aspiration except for the fact that he falls in love with Jenny, who after being widowed and divorced, is more interested in having a life partner than in getting married again. Both the personal and global situations appear hopeless until changes begin to take place both in Washington politics and in the hero and heroine. Even though the events after 9/11 leave the couple separated by their individual journeys-both emotionally and physically-their undeniable bond remains strong. Jenny begins methodically to look inside of herself to discover her part in preventing their finding a compromise to their differences. Kyle steps down from his position in public office, leaves California, and goes to work in Washington as the president of the U.S. Institute of Peace. In his effort to work with his brother toward a new and better foreign policy, Kyle begins to discover the similarities between the necessary steps for international peace and for interpersonal peace. The key to both is understanding - delving deeply to gain awareness of what drove the other side to such extreme measures and accepting some responsibility for what caused the conflict in the first place. Years later, Kyle is able to own his part in the fallout with Jenny. But she has vanished and left him with nothing but memories. Now he will risk everything to find her. This book is the spiritual journey o.…

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - The Statue of Liberty likeness illustrated on the cover of Enlightenment is a very symbolic image not only for Americans but for many other people of the world who harbor dreams for 'life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.' However, there are many individual and collective responsibilities that come with any such vision. Most Americans know orderly governmental systems are required to maintain a civilized culture, but in many societies one often wonders what type is most appropriate. While the western democracy structure has had significant success to date, it is far from perfect even within the United States. The author has spent the past forty years working within national and international governmental systems from the grass roots local level to regional, state, and federal jurisdictions. In this book, he notes the timeless lessons learned from experience and history as well as new and innovative ways to utilize the modern age of information technology. The net result is an effort to create new public excellence from tired work cultures. In the future, it is clear that economic globalization with its associated social and cultural impacts will bring about a new competition between many societies and their related governmental structures. This simple reality means that less efficient future governments will jeopardize the very viability of their own cultures. Therefore, if Americans wish to effectively compete on the coming international level of tomorrow, they must get their collective governmental house in order today. Enlightenment illustrates how a healthy competitive environment can be developed and sustained without jeopardizing any of the freedoms and opportunities we have come to expect.…

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - We woke up early and excited. It is June 1st and we have been on the road since May 15th. In the back of our minds always lurks 'Oh God! What have we done'. All our hopes and fears of 'someday' are here. Our house is sold; all the money we have is with us. Everything that is left is in the truck and trailer. The only direction we can go from here is up, and we have never been happier. After my quite reflection of the past, I realize that today we will see our new, if temporary home. Jo Jurgeliet has found us a place to rent. It's an A-frame about 20'x24'. It was high up at mile 8.5 out of town. No need to worry about the utilities; there weren't any to speak of. A propane bottle ran the stove, refrigerator and water heater. A fuel oil stove kept it warm, and running water was a series of hoses going up the mountain behind the place and it was gravity flow from a stream up there. There was no electricity or phone. I finally decided that what didn't kill me would make me stronger and it did. We were an awful sight that morning. After some coffee and cereal we are headed 'home'. We are headed west from Whitehorse, Yukon to Haines Junction. It is 100 miles and the Milepost told us there are no gas stations in that stretch so we make sure the tank is full. It took about 3 hours. It was so quite you could imagine what it was like 100 years ago. I think we were all reflecting on what the day would bring. I am sure our poor cat 'Kitty Poo' had decided he was going to spend the rest of his life in the back of the pickup truck. We had never seen an extended cab in 1974 and with 4 of us in that front seat there was no room for the cat. In all our travels in Alaska I have never seen a place more naturally beautiful that that stretch from Haines Junction going into Haines. The only thing that compares to it is topping Baycrest Hill going into Homer, so keep reading. Our jobs and fits of exploring took us from Juneau, Haines, Homer, Kodiak, the Aleutian Islands to Fairbanks, and south to Valdez and many other places in between so believe me this is spectacular. The first major body of water is Kathleen Lake. There are mountains of the St. Elias and Wrangell ranges, all snow covered and glowing in the sun. There appears to be a lot of places set aside for camping. About 15 miles south there is Dezadeash Lake and the Dezadeash Mountain Range. Over the years the lodge and the German family running it were important to us. Katie and Heinz ran the lodge, bar, gas station and garage with only a generator for power and the food could put many 4 Star restaurants to shame. The road in front of us looks like a long, winding snake. On this June 1st. there are still walls of snow on both sides of the road. I insist we stop so I can take some pictures and I am glad we did. In all the years and many more trips since I have never seen the walls of snow and ice we saw that day. The wind is howling and we are climbing. That poor truck is struggling with the load. On we went and finally made the summit of Chilkat Pass, over 6,000 feet; the higest on the road. The wind blows constantly and it did not take long to figure out the 12' poles along the road were markers so the snow equipment knew where the road was. There are a lot of closures in winter. As you travel along toward Haines, in a short distance you see :The Three Guardsmen' and it is a sight to behold. The mountains, all white in the sun are directly behind the lake. About 10 miles south of there is the old US Army pipeline. For years it pumped oil from Haines over the St. Elias Mountains to the Alaska Highway at Haines Junction in the Yukon. We crossed the border from the Yukon into British Columbia about 40 miles ago. Here we are at last at Pleasant Camp. It is the Canadian Custom checkpoint and we are about to cross over into Alaska at last. It's the only road into Haines and is 42 more miles of mountains and switchbacks. We can't wait! Phil.…
