Trail of Blood 2
Author: Valerie Blue Dam-at Claveria
Publisher: Ukiyoto Publishing
ISBN: 9355971222
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 153
Book Description
The journals content are some diary articles, some encouraging words sent via text messages, some plans and ponderings, a reflection of my life transitioning from college to my next venture which is employment or the entry into corporate world. God sealed with me a covenant to Obey Him with glad reckless joy and abandon. There comes a time in one’s life when we experience spiritual dryness. This book is a wonderful journey of winning over the battle of the black curtain or the big “D” short for depression which the author calls occasional melancholic blues. The author triumphed over a long saga of countless attractions and relinquishing control and she allowed God to break her so that she will be made whole. The second part of the book is a compilation of Pastor Velasco Legasi’s timely and challenging preaching to live out a victorious Christian life and documented the foundation that laid out the tenets and canon of a Bible Believing Conservative Baptist Church. From her college journal, Valerie Blue Dam-at Claveria shows how you can cultivate a deeper relationship with God. She shares that the safest place on earth is to be living “inside the will of God.” Trail of Blood—A Woman in Amber is a journal that will keep you rooted in God’s word and a must-have book for every Christian who has a rightful heritage to be a child of God.

Philosophical Essays

ISBN: 9780803262256
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 228
Book Description
The essays in this collection are not confined to any one period or any one subject. Nearly every one, in the author's words, is "an attempt to understand some short passage from the work of some philosopher, teasing the passage with analogies of sense. If one were to describe the method, as Descartes described his method, the method of doubt, perhaps it might best be described as the method of failure."

The Paper Trail
Author: Alexander Monro
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 030796230X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 385
Book Description
A sweeping, richly detailed history that tells the fascinating story of how paper—the simple Chinese invention of two thousand years ago—wrapped itself around our world, humankind’s most momentous ideas imprinted on its surface. The emergence of paper in the imperial court of Han China brought about a revolution in the transmission of knowledge and ideas, allowing religions, philosophies and propaganda to spread with ever greater ease. The first writing surface sufficiently cheap, portable and printable for books, pamphlets and journals to be mass-produced and distributed widely, paper opened the way for an unprecedented, ongoing dialogue between individuals and between communities across continents, oceans and time. The Paper Trail explores how the new substance was used to solidify social and political systems that influenced China even into our own time. We see how paper made possible the spread of the then new religions of Buddhism and Manichaeism into Japan, Korea and Vietnam . . . how it enabled theologians, scientists and artists to build the vast and signally intellectual empire of the Abbasid Caliphate and embed the Koran in popular culture . . . how paper was carried along the Silk Road by merchants and missionaries, finally reaching Europe in the late thirteenth century . . . and how, once established in Europe, along with the printing press, paper played an essential role in the three great foundations of Western modernity: the Renaissance, the Reformation and the Scientific Revolution. Here is a dramatic, comprehensively researched, vividly written story populated by holy men and scholars, warriors and poets, rulers and ordinary men and women—an essential story brilliantly told in this luminous work of history.
