The set to which this volume belongs is informally entitled "The Eternal Series," because each volume of the set unfolds an aspect of the reality of God's relationship with humanity that reaches from eternity past to eternity future. The formal title of the series is "An Evangelical Introduction to Reformational Theology." Here are the volume titles: Part I: Scripture: The Revealed Source For TheologyI/1 The Eternal Word: God Speaking To UsI/2 The Eternal Torah: Living Under GodPart II: God: The Personal Source Behind TheologyII/1 The Eternal God: God Revealing Himself To UsII/2 The Eternal Christ: God With UsII/3 The Eternal Spirit: God Living In UsPart III: Redemption: The Christ-Centered Heart of TheologyIII/1 The Eternal Purpose: Living In ChristIII/2 Eternal Righteousness: Living Before GodIII/3 Eternal Salvation: Christ Dying For UsIII/4 Eternal Life: Christ Living In UsPart IV: Consummation: The Lived Shape of TheologyIV/1 The Eternal People: God in Relation To IsraelIV/2 The Eternal Covenant: Living With GodIV/3 The Eternal Kingdom: Living Under ChristPart V: Method: The Comprehensive Foundation of TheologyV/1 Eternal Truth: The Prolegomena of TheologyThese volumes have been written for the informed Christian who is somewhat familiar with both the Bible and Christian theology.As you will learn in these volumes, that order-first Bible and then theology-is crucially important. So too is the distinction (but not the separation!) between these two: the Bible is not theology, and theology is not the Bible. Both following that order and honoring that distinction are prerequisites for healthy, charitable, and enduring Christianity.Dr. Willem J. Ouweneel is a Dutch author whose three doctorates-one each in biology, philosophy, and theology-rank him among the premier Bible scholars of this generation, and equip him with breadth of vision and depth of insight.When these volumes are read alongside an open Bible, the patient reader will acknowledge the authority of the claims being defended. The reader's certitude will ultimately come to rest, not in any particular theological system or model, but in the inspired, infallible Word of God, and more importantly, in the God of that Word. As such, this entire series and these volumes are fresh and faithful reformulations of the essence of biblical faith and life as that was transmitted throughout the centuries, was rediscovered in the Reformation, and has come to be known as Reformational theology: sola Scriptura, sola gratia, sola fide, solus Christus, soli Deo gloria.

Mosa Sekele Mashitisho dedicated this book to all those affected by the scourge of Gender-Based Violence. Every victim knows another victim, but no perpetrator knows another like themselves. This is because we have created so many conversations for and about victims, but we have not tapped into the mindsets of these perpetrators and found out what it is that really causes them to behave in ways that make others feel inhumane or inferior or underserving of love, care and warmth that a healthy relationship offers.This book offers empathy to the victims and hope to all survivors that all is not lost. They may and will still find love again and realize that all the pain and suffering was not he definition of what love is all about. There is a beautiful person inside each one of us and if the partners we choose to have cannot see or appreciate that beauty, we need to give ourselves permission to save our lives and leave those relationships.The last part of this book offers love and appreciation in a form of letters written to loved ones, thanking them for being such amazing people in our lives. Even with the many failed marriages ending in divorce, fights and murders, there is still beauty in finding love that surpasses all emotions of anger, insecurities and evil doing. At the end of the day, love follows all of us and bit by bit, if we permit ourselves to leave our unhealthy and unsafe relationships and situations, this love will find us.

This black and white, illustrated paperback of Snapshots of China is a collection of short stories that looks at the daily life questions and struggles of Chinese people as well as non-Chinese people living in China. What do students in China struggle with? What might a business owner in China feel when he thinks he may lose his business? How do kids interact with parents and peers in China? How do non-Chinese adapt to life in a completely different culture and environment? Snapshots of China explores these questions and more through the eyes of a vast collection of characters. These characters each have their own challenges, hopes, and dreams. As we look at life from their perspective, we can understand a little more about Chinese culture and Chinese thinking. Snapshots of China is a collection of stories and character sketches from the writing desk of Alison Mullins. Drawing on her experiences and friendships, she wrote these stories to share a little piece of China with you. Weaving together fact and fiction, these stories will reveal not just a glimpse beyond the surface of a China in the midst of historic transformation, but perhaps we may also see something about ourselves.

H. Lynn Beck had no clue what to do after finishing his master's degree in Vermont, so he applied to join the Peace Corps. Eventually, he was invited to work in Brazil, and he agreed to work in education in the state of Mato Grosso. He began counting down the days to the start of training.While his Portuguese consisted of ninety-five percent Spanish and fiver percent Portuguese, he managed to communicate. Working in the geographic center of South America, he felt as if he'd been dumped into a pressure cooker as it was so hot and humid.After thirty days in Cuiaba, he took a new position in Natal, Rio Grande do Norte. Even though it meant moving from western side of Brazil to the extreme eastern side, it also gave him the chance to stay in Brazil.Working at the stage agricultural extension office, not much was expected of him, but he had an excuse to stay in Brazil for at least another two years, allowing him to learn the language and culture.
This is an age in which even the most honest and intelligent debate on social topics is risky. Free inquiry, which was once the pride of higher education, has almost disappeared as our politicized campuses have become one-party systems tolerating little dissent from the established orthodoxy. The ideology of multiculturalism in particular has led to demands for conformity in education and in society in general, and even threatens the liberties of Western civilization.Debate on fundamental issues has become rare, and nowhere is it rarer than in higher education, which at one time exulted in debate and in defending unpopular views. This happens because almost all institutions of higher education are today dominated by a narrow portion of the political spectrum; fashion and rigid consensus, not debate, determine campus policy.The essays in this book deal with topics that in some quarters are in questionable taste, such as why: American students rank at the bottom in international tests"Celebrating diversity" may be a bad ideaArtificial intelligence may eliminate all human jobsDemographic change threatens America's 2-party systemMarshmallows may make kids smarterWe need the common coreEtc, etc.Whatever the political stance of the reader, it is my hope that they will find these essays thought-provoking.
