Book Description
A "marvelous" (Economist) account of how the Christian Revolution forged the Western imagination. Crucifixion, the Romans believed, was the worst fate imaginable, a punishment reserved for slaves. How astonishing it was, then, that people should have come to believe that one particular victim of crucifixion-an obscure provincial by the name of Jesus-was to be worshipped as a god. Dominion explores the implications of this shocking conviction as they have reverberated throughout history. Today, the West remains utterly saturated by Christian assumptions. As Tom Holland demonstrates, our morals and ethics are not universal but are instead the fruits of a very distinctive civilization. Concepts such as secularism, liberalism, science, and homosexuality are deeply rooted in a Christian seedbed. From Babylon to the Beatles, Saint Michael to #MeToo, Dominion tells the story of how Christianity transformed the modern world.

Book Description
And God blessed them, and God said unto them, be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. It was God's intent that the human family would explore and leverage on the dominion he has given them over the entire earth. However, Adam's lack of appreciation - shown by defying the only restriction placed on him - required severe punishment After the fall of man in the Garden of Eden, man ceded his dominion to the devil. Man betrayed the trust God reposed on him when he gave the primary ruler-ship of the earth to him. But because of God’s love for man, he worked out a redemptive plan and came down to die in order to ransom man by the shedding of his own blood. When the penalty of man’s sin was fully paid on the cross of Calvary and the access to the throne room of grace was opened for man to obtain mercy and find grace to help in times of need, man once again obliged by God to accept his offer for pardon. Now, anyone that has accepted the lordship of Jesus Christ over his/her life and also walk in the consciousness of the finished work of Calvary could exercise his dominion in Christ over the forces of life and nature.

Book Description
If Lord of the Rings and The Witcher had a love-child, you'd get Seeds of Dominion. A blend of High Fantasy, Sword and Sorcery, Magic, and Mystery, this novel kicks off an epic fantasy that places an entire content in the cross-hairs of a power-hungry demon. Unholy evil lurks in the shadow of a magical kingdom. When a baron and his family turn up butchered in their sleep, a beleaguered king commands Rellen of Corsia, Seventh Guardian of Pelinon, to solve the mystery and bring the killer to justice. Was it sedition? Political assassination? Or is it the gruesome machinations of a blood-hungry demon goddess and her cult? Every riddle Rellen solves exposes two more, and his investigation uncovers something far more sinister. Ancient artifacts, secret organizations, and hidden mysteries sink him deeper and deeper into an ages-old conspiracy. Rellen desperately chases one clue after another, and to his growing horror, he discovers the baron's murder was only the latest piece of a far-reaching legacy of deceit spanning millennia. Once exposed, the terrible truth may consume Rellen's soul and leave the whole of Pelinon in ruin. For lovers of Dungeons & Dragons RPGs, this is a book from the sweeping epic fantasy world of Eldros Legacy.

Of Seeds and the People of God
Author: Michael P. Knowles
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 163087874X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
Preachers mount the pulpit steps terribly burdened by the conviction that they are somehow responsible for the growth and spiritual well-being of their congregants. How, they ask themselves, can mere words communicate the reality of God, bring life to a congregation, or foster spiritual growth? This study argues that effective sermons function much like Jesus' parables--by bearing witness to divine power. Parables and preaching both testify to something beyond themselves: to a life-giving dynamic that far outstrips the force of words alone. Preachers are not go-betweens or gatekeepers for the kingdom of heaven: rather, they imitate Jesus by dying to themselves in the very act of proclamation, relying directly on God for their sermons to bear fruit. As well as offering a novel interpretation of Jesus' agricultural parables, Of Seeds and the People of God presents a Christ-shaped theology of preaching. Beyond exegesis or rhetoric alone, faithful proclamation is a question of spirituality, of preachers and listeners together yielding to God's gift of new life.

Simply Genesis
Author: T. L. Farrell
Publisher: WestBow Press
ISBN: 1973620243
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 282
Book Description
Many times the first three chapters of Genesis become lost in translation. How could something—creation—come from nothing? How long is a day, and did it really only take seven days for God to create the universe? Are we really created in God’s image and likeness? These questions and more are often difficult to answer. In Simply Genesis, author T. L. Farrell introduces an uncommon and off-the-wall interpretation and commentary on the first three chapters of Genesis. While this new understanding stands in sharp contrast to most common teachings, it can provide believers with a deeper understanding of the truth—and some answers to common questions about our origins and purpose. Because most readings of Genesis pin God down to the level of human thinking, much of its true meaning can be overlooked. But by following the biblical guidance that God makes known the end from the beginning, looking at Genesis in this way can unlock further truths about not just creation but God’s ultimate purpose for us. God has revealed the glory of His finished work in the first three chapters of Genesis. Therefore, we trust in God, who had it all planned from the beginning. God’s perfect plan is to create a family of believers in His image and likeness, full of God’s Spirit and love through the independence of their free will—that when God sees us, He sees Himself, and when we see God, we see ourselves.
