There Is No God And He Is Always With You

Can you be an atheist and still believe in God? Can you be a true believer and still doubt? Can Zen give us a way past our constant fighting about God? Brad Warner was initially interested in Buddhism because he wanted to find God, but Buddhism is usually thought of as godless. In the three decades since Warner began studying Zen, he has grappled with paradoxical questions about God and managed to come up with some answers. In this fascinating search for a way beyond the usual arguments between fundamentalists and skeptics, Warner offers a profoundly engaging and idiosyncratic take on the ineffable power of the “ground of all being.”

A desperate and hopeless man is about to kill himself. But instead, he goes From Darkness to Light, discovering that the power and love of God is much stronger than one man's hopelessness and blindness. God will not allow this sorrowful man to commit suicide, giving him a chance to make things right, to look through his life as it was before, and to begin a new and holy life. The man is given two teachers who will lead him through the wisdom of life in just 30 days. The first fifteen days is spent with his first teacher, the captain, and the next fifteen is spent with his other heavenly teacher. They both will show him the wisdom of heaven and how great is God's love. For those thirty days, the man lives with his teachers and is lead by their holiness. Afterward, he acknowledges that God is what we all have, all we need, and all we want. Prayers, fasting, rosary, Bible and spiritual knowledge changes this hopeless and nameless man into a new person. He now realizes that perfect life is here and in the life to come, but it can only come through accepting Jesus.

How do the different books of the Christian bible contribute to telling the story of God's salvation in Jesus Christ? How can the diverse and sometimes confusing range of perspectives in the bible join together in one picture? Sigurd Grindheim shows students how this picture can be seen as that of the Triune God, the God who interacts. God makes human beings who enjoy a peaceful relationship with him. This relationship is broken because of sin, but God continues to reach out to human beings through covenants. Human failure to be faithful shows that God needs to intervene in a more direct way. In his son Jesus Christ, he comes to earth and brings reconciliation. Grindheim draws on insights from scholarship and tradition to answer the major questions and presents them in a highly accessible form, using examples, revision questions and charts. This book is written specifically for students at the start of courses in the Bible, Theology and Ministry, and for those searching for a deeper understanding of the theology of the Christian bible.

Vizzer, the high priest who presides over the daily slaughter, loathes the fights and wants to end them. When news arrives that the humans have destroyed themselves in an interstellar civil war, he deposes the king and outlaws the fights. But not all the humans are dead. Carlos the Creator lies in stasis on Taurus itself. Vizzer comes face to face with an enraged and ancient god. And in so doing, he must also confront the truth of his own savage nature.

Who is Jesus Christ? You've never met Him in person, and you don't know anyone who has. But there is a way to know who he is. How? Jesus Christ - the divine Person revealed in the Bible - has a unique excellence and a spiritual beauty that speaks directly to our souls and says, "Yes, this is truth." It's like seeing the sun and knowing that it is light, or tasting honey and knowing that it is sweet. The depth and complexity of Jesus shatter our simple mental frameworks. He baffled proud scribes with his wisdom but was understood and loved by children. He calmed a raging storm with a word but would not get himself down from the cross. Look at the Jesus of the Bible. Keep your eyes open, and fill them with the portrait of Jesus in God's Word. Jesus said, "If anyone's will is to do God's will, He will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking on my own authority." Ask God for the grace to do His will, and you will see the truth of His Son. John Piper has written this book in the hope that all will see Jesus for who he really is and will come to enjoy him above all else.

Faye Sophia is a middle-aged, creatively impotent artist in limbo. As her 52nd birthday looms, Faye attempts to answer letters in the advice column she pens to keep food on her table, knowing all the while that her own path through life has not been the smoothest. Long-divorced, retired from her insurance company career, and living alone since her children moved away, Faye has come to the sad realization that this stage of her life is very different from what she had imagined. After many years as a successful artist, she cannot even summon the creative inspiration to complete the three sculptures that sit untouched in her basement workroom. As a single parent, Faye once managed family, job, and her art-until eight years ago, when a crisis forced her to make a choice that changed three lives forever. But when a phone call brings her news that her ex-husband is dying, she is transported back into her memories. She struggles to understand the consequences of that fateful decision: loss of faith in herself, her life, and in the future. "There Is No God of Lotteries" is the compelling tale of a woman's emotional quest to find peace of mind, an understanding of her place in the universe, and, most importantly, belief in herself.

According to author David E Cooper, God has sent prophets in very generation to help the people in times of trouble. But many dont listen and live the way they desire instead of following Gods desire for them. In The Prophet of God, Cooper calls on everyone to be aware of what is to come and reminds them that now is the time to repent and go back to the Heavenly Father. When we go through life, we want peace and happiness. The only way to live in peace and happiness is in Jesus. To live clean and holy for God, to see that God keeps you and your family and that you trust in God. You either serve God or Satan. There is no neutral ground. You cant live like your friends live. You have to live the Ten Commandments and read the Bible and pray, says the author. The Prophet of God follows Coopers life experiences interspersed with Biblical scriptures that will provide you with insight on what God wants for His people. The Bible tells about demons, how they try to manipulate and calls men to sin. The author warns everyone about how demons can come in disguise and trick people into committing sin. He emphasizes the need to rejuvenate ones faith, and to choose between life and death. If you serve God, your reward is life. If you serve the devil, your reward is death and hell
