Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - In Colossians 2:8, Paul writes, 'Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.' Many churches today have turned to the traditions of men instead of God, causing complacency and vanity. This is an issue that needs to be addressed if Christians are to return righteousness to the church.Author D. Warren Hasbrouck tackles this important subject in The Bride's Missing Gifts. Hasbrouck explores why the church is suffering and how it is imperative to turn to apostolic and prophetic authority to build up the body of Christ. Through short, easy-to-understand chapters, he discusses the nature of God, the foundation of the church, and the role of the apostles. In addition, Hasbrouck shares his personal correspondence with a local church about these same issues, offering a concrete example of how we must put Jesus Christ back at the head of the church. By digging deep into the Scriptures and focusing on God's plan for His body of believers, Christians can remove division and reclaim unity in Christ.…

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - The memory of my wife faded. The past ceased to exist. Against my better judgment, I went online, hoping to fill the void in my life. I met eleven women, twelve if we include Sandra, the schoolgirl. That was a mistake, of course, but I couldn't help myself. She was exquisite, mature beyond her years, and completely and utterly without scruples. The extent to which she would go to exercise the outrageous fantasies buzzing around inside her small brain, an attribute that (at the time) I found irresistible, was astonishing. I shall make no excuse for my lapse in judgment, except to tell you that the interlude during which we were in flagrante lasted barely a moment in time. But, as Nabokov suggested, while it lasted the candle burned ever so brightly.Of all the women I met in chat rooms and on threads, however, while there were the usual fringe benefits, most were less than expected, less than advertised, and well below the standard I had set for myself. Nonetheless, while it lasted, it was fun. The great restaurant had become the dues ex machine and the focal point of my adventures. I spared no expense. The women I courted stuffed themselves with the best food money could buy and repaid my hospitality on credit, and a good time was had by all. But it wasn't enough. And then I met Donatella, and everything changed.…
