Summary

Saint Athanasius was a fourth century theologian and ecclesiastical statesman, who was the chief defender of Christian orthodoxy in the battle against Arianism — the heresy that the Son of God was a creature of like, but not of the same, substance as God the Father. He upheld that the Son of God, the eternal Word through whom God made the world, entered the world in human form to lead men back to the harmony from which they had fallen away. Later Church fathers in both the West and East highly regarded Athanasius’ writings, revering their devotion to the Word-become-man, pastoral concern and interest in monasticism. Today, Athanasius is considered one of the four great Eastern Doctors of the Catholic Church. This eBook presents Athanasius’ collected works, with illustrations, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
Seeds of the Living Cosmos: How Life Shaped the Universe takes listeners on a breathtaking journey across space and time, exploring the profound interplay between life and the cosmos. From the resilient extremophiles that thrive in Earth's harshest environments to the cosmic forces that seed planets with the building blocks of life, this audiobook reveals that life is not just a product of the universe - it may be a guiding thread woven into its very fabric. 
Challenging the notion that life is rare or confined to Earth, the author examines the cosmic blueprints behind star and planet formation, the hidden mechanisms that allow life to flourish in extreme conditions, and the subtle patterns in physics that suggest the universe itself may operate as a living system. Thought-provoking, scientifically rich, and profoundly philosophical, this work invites listeners to reconsider the origin of life, the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, and humanity’s place in a living cosmos. 
With its forward-looking exploration of the future of astrobiology and the continuing quest to find life beyond our planet, Seeds of the Living Cosmos is both a celebration of discovery and a call to expand our understanding of the universe as an interconnected, living system.

    "A nuanced look at America's legacy of scriptural language." —Publishers Weekly (starred review) 
 
 
 
How do Bible passages written thousands of years ago apply to politics today? What can we learn from America's history of using the Bible in politics? How can we converse with people whose views differ from our own? 
 
 
 
In The Ballot and the Bible, Kaitlyn Schiess explores these questions and more. She unpacks examples of how Americans have connected the Bible to politics in the past, highlighting times it was applied well and times it was egregiously misused. 
 
 
 
Schiess combines American political history and biblical interpretation to help listeners faithfully read Scripture, talk with others about it, and apply it to contemporary political issues—and to their lives. Rather than prescribing what listeners should think about specific hot-button issues, Schiess outlines core biblical themes around power, allegiance, national identity, and more. 
 
 
 
Listeners will be encouraged to pursue a biblical basis for their political engagement with compassion and confidence.

    The renowned Ted Bundy expert reveals never-before-published information on little known aspects of the serial killer’s crimes and victims. Due to Kevin Sullivan’s extensive writing about Ted Bundy (which has produced six books), he’s become a sort of magnet over the years, drawing out many people who were part of the Bundy story, but have otherwise kept a low profile over the decades; and these first-person contacts continue to this day.  As such, this is the first book in a new series of books, whose aim is to bring new revelations to the public about Bundy, the victims, the murders, and the almost murders that failed Bundy for one reason or another.  “With all the material we have on Ted Bundy, it’s easy to think we’ve thoroughly covered his life and crimes. But there still are holes, still things to learn . . . Newly discovered facts, some speculation, and some clarification—they’re all here. For those who can’t get enough of Bundy, the items in this illuminating volume show that we can still chip away at his secrets.” —Katherine Ramsland, author of Confession of a Serial Killer: The Untold Story of Dennis Rader, the BTK Killer

    A century ago, a typical US college campus was a sanctuary of privilege, with white men of means constituting nearly the entire student population. Today, half of US undergraduates live at or near the poverty line, and universities are more diverse than ever. But teaching and curricula have not caught up, resulting in stark inequities. Black and Hispanic students graduate at lower rates than their white and Asian counterparts, economically insecure and disabled students face persistent disadvantages, and in STEM disciplines gender imbalances remain the norm.One Classroom at a Time provides practical, research-based recommendations for educators who want to narrow such academic gaps. David Gooblar explains the psychological hardships facing many marginalized students and provides detailed remedies. This wide-ranging guide also offers advice for mitigating burdens of financial insecurity and designing classes that work for all students regardless of disabilities. The emphasis throughout is on helping instructors and administrators understand not just the principles of equitable pedagogy but also the reasoning. In the twenty-first century, college courses shouldn't be built for imaginary students of yesteryear. This book shows how we can tailor pedagogy to the students of today, so that all of them can secure the education and the success they deserve.

    Most  people  consider  life  a  battle,  but  it  is  not  a battle,  it  is  a  game. It  is  a  game,  however,  which  cannot  be  played successfully  without  the  knowledge  of  spiritual law,  and  the  Old  and  the  New  Testaments  give  the rules  of  the  game  with  wonderful  clearness.  Jesus Christ taught  that  it  was  a  great  game  of  Giving and  Receiving.  "Whatsoever  a  man  soweth  that  shall  he  also reap."  This  means  that  whatever  man  sends  out  in word  or  deed,  will  return  to  him;  what  he  gives,  he will  receive.
