Is the concept of being a lady lost in modern culture? Is it possible to meet a woman who has not been swayed by mainstream trends and extreme antithetical belief systems? These are questions posed in conversation surrounding the present state of womanhood. It is critical to recognize the women who demonstrate upstanding character rather than fleeting trends. This book encourages evaluation of the messages delivered to women. The reader will be able to determine if popular messages are helping or harming the overall female image. Topics addressed include historical and scriptural references, marriage, destructive cultures, manipulative media messaging, and the dark side of the feminist movement. This analysis ultimately explores the uniqueness of womanhood, and the ill willed, preconceived notions against women's distinction and significance.

Many Christians have no idea that Muslims unquestionably love Jesus and his mother, Mary, and Islam holds them in the highest esteem. In fact, Jesus is mentioned in fifteen chapters of the Qur'ān, and more verses in the Qur'ān mention Mary than in the New Testament.While Christians may address Jesus simply as "Jesus," Muslims almost always use an honorific phrase, 'unto him be peace, ' after his name. So, what's behind the Muslim love and reverence for Jesus ('Ēsa in Arabic) and Mary (Maryam)? This book sets out to answer this vital question while comparing the Jesus of Islam with the Jesus of Christianity and the Jesus of history.Despite the adoring view of Jesus on the part of Muslims and their benevolent sentiments toward his followers, Islam and Christianity have been at odds for fourteen centuries. Notwithstanding the occasional cooperation between Christians and Muslims, theological polemics and the vexed legacy of the Crusades have dominated their relations. This book will take a step toward reconciliation, I hope, between the two great religions and their followers.The Jesus of Islam and Christianity have many commonalities, just as they have differences. What may surprise the reader is that the historical Jesus and the Islamic Jesus seem to be much closer than may have been imagined.>

The Word of God would have been extinguished thousands of years ago if not for parents passing faith down to their children. "Her children arise and call her blessed..." (Proverbs 31:28) is the legacy of a mother who has put Christ in the center of her heart and home, and who has led her children to fall in love with Him.Her Children Arise shares the stories of biblical moms who remind us that the home is and has always been a mission field for mothers to live out the gospel of Jesus Christ. Even in the throes of sleepless nights, toddler tantrums, and the challenging teen years, we can find our joy and purpose through guiding our children to see the heart of God. The secret is that it's less about family devotions and more about our devotion to Jesus.
Two basic questions frame the entire meaning of life and reveal what is really happening in this world. These questions unravel a very insidious lie that perhaps you are familiar with: mankind alone has the right and ability to determine what is good and what is evil - all that is necessary is for us to follow our hearts. How the answers to these questions have developed over thousands of years of human history is the subject matter of this book; how they will impact you is the reason the book is important. What follows is a thoughtful look at observable facts regarding the origins of man; a detailed account of the nature of evil and the entrance of death into the world; an analysis of the absolutely bankrupt state of man's morality and our utter inability to pay off our debts before a righteous God; and a clear presentation of the only path of restoration through belief in Jesus Christ - if we want forgiveness and eternal life. These two questions are vitally important to understand. They are the missing pieces to a very complex puzzle. And yet, they are only two questions - is that too much homework to ask of us?
A journey through strength, love, and mourning, this poetry collection questions the emotional response of hiding one's true self from the external space in search of acceptance and worth.

The ominous sound of seven hundred soldier's boots echoed from Boston's cobble stone streets. They were finally on the march and headed to Concord. Their goal was to capture the arms stored there, and arrest John Hancock and Samuel Adams who were staying in Lexington. This is a story not only about the actual events leading up to the "shot heard round the world" but imagines the personal interplays that led up to the spark that was struck on Lexington's green. There were passionate love affairs, betrayals and treachery, all of which were intertwined with acts of courage, sacrifice and bravery. The tapestry of the struggle for American independence is nuanced. The Founding Fathers were very human, and their portraits in our history books showing stiff and formal mannequins do not do them justice. Two If By Sea is a work of historical fiction, but only the dialogue is imagined. The rest is based on real events.

Cet état dans lequel vous pourrez vous retrouver ou que vous traversez en ce moment. État dans lequel vous avez le sentiment de perdre vos repères, où plus rien n'a de sens pour vous. Quand c'est avec une sensation d'étouffement, de boule au ventre et des noeuds dans la nuque, que vous décidez à votre corps défendant, d'aller au travail ou vaquer à vos activités quotidiennes, tout ceci après des nuits blanches.Un état dans lequel vous souffrez physiquement, émotionnellement, psychologiquement et mentalement. Quand votre corps devient le champ fertile des maladies psychosomatiques, quand vous comprenez qu'il faut agir et pourtant, vous vous sentez dépourvu de force et d'aptitude à prendre de bonnes décisions.Mémarisse Machia est passée par là. Et dans ce livre, elle vous fait vivre son expérience, afin de vous donner les outils et les clés nécessaires qui l'ont menée jusqu'à vous.
Je suis chrétienne, mais à ma manière... tels sont les propos avancés par la jeune Eva qui mène une vie de débauche comme tous les jeunes de son âge. Constatant au fil du temps que la vie qu'elle mène lui crée plus d'ennuis. Elle prit la décision de revoir en profondeur ses actes, d'où une transformation complète et le début d'une nouvelle vie. Amour, passion, tristesse et spiritualité se mêlent dans cette transformation. C'est une histoire qui met en lumière un duo (Dieu et Eva) autour duquel se greffent plusieurs autres thématiques et acteurs secondaires. L'auteure met en exergue un certain nombre de comportements qui minent la société actuelle: chômage, mensonge, MST, délinquance juvénile, alcoolisme, prostitution, manque d'initiative, etc. Cet ouvrage est en somme un grand appel à l'avènement d'une jeunesse entreprenante et responsable. Une jeunesse qui se doit de craindre Dieu dans ces temps mauvais.

Dal pioniere dello Splatterpunk Italiano, la novella vincitrice del Premio Laymon 2017.Arroccato sulla torre del convento, a strapiombo sul mare, il Putridarium è il luogo più temuto dalle sorelle di clausura, un antro buio e dall'aria mefitica in cui scontare i peccati più gravi, senza certezza di uscirne vive. Angie, novizia da appena tre mesi, è sicura di non aver fatto niente che meriti un simile castigo, eppure è proprio lì che viene rinchiusa.L'odore di marcio, le tenebre, il silenzio, la fame e la sete, tuttavia, non sono le sole cose a riempire la cella. Angie non ha il coraggio di voltarsi a guardare, ma avverte minacciose presenze alle sue spalle, il contatto con qualcosa di soffocante e ineffabile che non vuole assolutamente affrontare...Mentre il terrore si intensifica e il tempo si dilata, scandito dalle onde del mare, i peggiori incubi prendono forma, sfumando i confini fra sogno e veglia, in un crescendo di dolore e solitudine in cui si annida un'insospettabile verità. Illustrazione di copertina di Pierluigi Abbondanza.
