All the passengers plus the copilot had zipped off the delayed plane, with their luggage bouncing behind them, when Kylie, the flight attendant, and Landon, the pilot, heard a whimpering cry that drew them to seat 21D, where a tiny, blue-eyed, golden-curled girl huddled, awaiting her mother's return. But the mother had designs of her own, unbeknownst to the shocked trio left in her wake. As the innocent toddler grew increasingly central to their happiness, both Kylie and Landon feared the mother would come crashing back, this time to take Jessica away. What had happened to the woman? Something awful? Or was abandoning her daughter part of the plan? Would she reenter their lives as dramatically as she had once disappeared? While they hoped the mother would stay away, someone else was desperately searching for her. Their futures faced a collision course, but to a healing conclusion or a heap of smoking ruins?One thing was for sure--in an instant, five lives were permanently changed from their previous headings, a new course was charted, and a few hearts were hijacked by the abandoned precious cargo that Kylie scooped into her arms.

Poniendo a Pablo dentro del mundo de la epoca helenista judia y griega, este libro examina su nuevo mensaje sobre la posicion preeminente del espiritu en su doctrina sobre las virtudes. La pregunta central es ¿como el concepto del espiritu se hace la fuente principal de todas las virtudes cristianas en la vida ordinaria de los judios y gentiles creyentes, y como se refleja en sus cartas? El libro examina las siete cartas indiscutibles de Pablo e ilustra la ensenanza fundamental del poder del espiritu en la adquisicion de las virtudes y la evitacion de los vicios. De hecho, se da un enfasis a las virtudes y vicios reflejadas en cada una de las siete cartas. Tambien investiga como la vida de los creyentes en la comunidad cristiana fluye del Espiritu recibido de Dios. El libro ofrece al lector un estudio completo del entendimiento del termino espiritu en las tradiciones helenista judias y griegas dando un enfoque a la manera como Pablo usa el lenguaje filosofico en su exhortacion etica, un lenguaje que probablemente habria sido comun para muchos de sus oyentes gentiles creyentes, con el fin de ofrecer un entendimiento persuasivo de su exhortacion a la vida virtuosa.

Deep down, everyone, with very few exceptions, badly wants and needs clarity and assurance, especially when it comes to the deepest most profound existential questions of life--where did we come from (origin)? Why are we here (purpose)? What are we meant to do (morality)? And where are we going (destiny)? Much more, do heaven and hell exist? Is death the end of everything, or is there life in the hereafter? Thousands of Christians, at some point in their lives, admit being in doubt of their faith, especially when confronted with pressing questions on the Bible, God, Jesus, evil, death, suffering, science, evolution, etc. This book was painstakingly written to hopefully help provide philosophical and theological clarity and for them to be academically informed and be better assured of their Christian faith.As for the religious skeptics, and downright anti-theists, they similarly at some point may have been confronted with the same nagging question from the believers--What if you're wrong? This book is also written to enjoin them to assess the bases of their objections and justifications of their disbelief, inspire them to reconsider their positions, and keep an open-minded attitude to the gospel of Christ.
