Book Description
An adventure story involving two teenage students, who visit a mansion of a mysterious owner, whose ancestors were big game hunters in Africa. The mansion had many glass cases filled with stuffed animals. One night, they were asked to accompany two strange minders and the son of the owner’s butler, to help carry the spirits of the animals back to Africa, where a ceremony was to be held. On their way, their craft was attacked by some evil aliens called jungoes, who were after the spirits. They were forced to take a short-cut through a world called ‘The Outer Reaches.’ On arrival, they found that the world had been taken over by the jungoes, who had built an electro-magnetic shield around the world to stop everyone entering or leaving, plus a plant, designed to change the atmosphere to a gas, which would kill all the creatures. After many adventures, they escape, with a promise to return and reach the ceremony site. They return later, together with volunteers, to rid the world of the jungoes and destroy both the shield and the gas plant. Upon returning to earth, Sammy was attacked by a jungo. This added a potentially horrific twist to the story.

The Maker Versus the Takers
Author: Jerry Bowyer
Publisher: Fidelis Books
ISBN: 1642933716
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 120
Book Description
Theologians virtually ignore the economic commentary in the Bible. In the few cases where it gets any attention, economic commentary in the Gospels and other New Testament writings tend to lapse into simplistic class warfare nostrums. Liberation theologians import Marxism wholesale (but they try to sell it retail) into theology. Academic historians of 1st Century Palestine/Judea have been pushing an account of a poor peasant Jesus leading a poor peasant's revolt based on the idea of mass displaced workers in Lower Galilee. The problem is the actual archeological findings paint a picture of an industrious and entrepreneurial economy during Jesus's time there. Reading the Gospels in light of archeology and history, which are now available to us, gives us a very different picture than the one you’ve been told regarding what Jesus taught about work and money.

Pages : 224
Book Description
'Risk Takers', from Spring Harvest veteran Malcolm Duncan, challenges readers to take an Early Church attitude to living the Christian life - spirit-led and good news driven. The book of Acts is the story of the first Christians doing church together. It wasn't systematized, ordered and disinfected. It was risky. They didn't have a clue what was coming next - but they soon learned to depend on the Spirit. They tried, often failed, and then tried again. In his book, Malcolm re-captures God's vision for the Church and puts into the inescapable context of mission. The he highlights the common risks many stumble over including living in Gods provision, saying yes and embodying grace. This book is an exciting invitation to Christians to take off the attitudes the modern church, of tail-gating through trough life, following the crowd and taking the easy, well-used paths. Instead Malcolm encourages and inspires readers to do the right option rather than the easy one. God is moving in our communities: our job is to discover where and join in!

A Risk Taker's Journey
Author: Manuel A Donoso
Publisher: FriesenPress
ISBN: 1460253787
Category : Travel
Languages : en
Pages : 173
Book Description
At the age of five, Manuel Donoso rode a wooden horse and pretended he was a cowboy. Two years later, he saddled a real horse and became a real “cowboy”. As a teenager, he found himself conscripted into the Chilean Army. While there, he experienced many abuses of power. The witnessing of the crushing of an aspiring young soldier’s military dreams was the final straw. This drove him to persuade the country’s president, Eduardo Frei Montalva, to arrange for his discharge. Not satisfied with being a dreamer in Chile’s Central Valley, he travelled from the Southern to the Northern Hemisphere. Journeying through the Amazon, he marveled at the exotic creatures, was intrigued at the mysterious colours of the Amazon River, yet was horrified by the brutality of man he experienced along the way. While penniless in Central America, yet wanting to get to the United States, he became a dreamer again. He and a group of young friends put together a crazy form of transportation that worked, just not the way they expected. Eventually, he made it to Canada the easy way—by plane. In his new home he met the girl of his dreams. She was so nice, he actually married her twice! Then he wrote his entire improbable story in a book and called it “A Risk Taker’s Journey”. What a life! What a story! You’ve got to read it.

Love is a Care-Taker From a Christian Perspective

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 211
Book Description
Love is a Care -- Taker Love is a care -- Taker, author DALVIN PRYCE offers illuminating and straightforward talk to help guide people through today's biggest challenges of loving people well. Our life should be marked by loving well, by this, all men should know that we are Christ's disciples when we have love for one another. Being hospitable and walking in his grace, we should be known for loving well. Let's put love into practice! Here's a great example, a woman was left alone with her two children after the death of her husband. She was evicted from her home because of her insurmountable debt. Shortly after the property was auctioned off, she attended the auction to see who would end up owning the property, when the auction was closed, the woman burst into tears at her loss, however, as she turned in the keys the buyer gave them back to her, she said to her, I was an orphaned child and I come from a humble family. She says God has given me the means and I want to give back some of the many things God has given me; she told this crying woman; you owed me nothing; the house is yours." the woman was great full for the rest of her life for this loving action. That's a testimony of loving well, isn't it? God wants us to be out among the people of the cities being used by him. The Lord wants us to be hospitable, in other words, we must shine with the love of Christ even if we are struggling, Jesus wants us to have a welcoming hospitable heart. Jesus lives for others. He prayed for them, He identified with the need of people, their needs and suffering were His own. If Jesus has given us so much, why not give back to Him some of what we have? Let's do something for those in need even if it means depriving ourselves of somethings -------- Life without love makes no sense.
