Synopsis

Are we truly striving for heaven or merely avoiding hell?The human hearts greatest longing is to see God as He is. And yet, many people simply want to escape hells pain, or even worse, they follow our disordered fallen nature in choosing sinful pleasures. Our Lord said the road to heaven is narrow, but the road to hell is wide (see Matt. 7:13). Is choosing the road to heaven merely wanting to avoid pain, or is it actively pursuing the greatest good beyond imagining?Do we choose the good because we strive to love God with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength, or do we choose the good merely because we fear hell?God never leaves us alone in these choices. Indeed, He sends us His grace, but—to help us cooperate with that grace and fight valiantly—He also sends spiritual warriors and guides, of whom one of the greatest is Saint Thomas Aquinas.In Angelic Virtues and Demonic Vices, Saint Thomas guides us on how to pursue our true celestial homeland while avoiding running to a false heaven. He outlines the various vices, and their forty plus daughters, and details how to conquer them.After reading this work, you will not only desire to become a saint because you will see how hideous vice truly is but also see how splendid virtuous living for God is.

    Mathematical Devotionals serves as a guide to connect Christianity with mathematics through a year's worth of inspirational prompts and meditations. Each devotional is self-contained, including scripture verses and an image. The devotionals fall into four categories: 
    · Mathematical connections to Christianity 
    · Semi-biographical devotionals of Christian mathematicians 
    · Devotionals based on quotes either by a mathematician or about mathematics 
    · A few devotionals using logical reasoning as a form of Christian apologetics 
    The devotionals use mathematics, statistics, computer science, and even occasionally stray into the other science areas to provide a variety of engaging connections to Christianity. The book is intended to show how mathematics and other scientific fields should be considered complementary to Christianity rather than adversarial. 
    About the Author: 
    Dale K. Hathaway has been a faculty member, department chair, and recently selected as the Associate Dean for the Martin D. Walker School of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) at Olivet Nazarene University in Bourbonnais, Illinois 
    since 1989. He received his Ph.D. in Mathematics from Boston University. Mathematically, he has a passion for finding and presenting "Birthday Problem" connections and, as a Christian, he loves finding ways to connect his profession with his faith.

    Fear is the enemy of success. Fear hinders love, avoids risk, and paralyzes forward movement. Embracing fear is safe, but it is also poison. 
    Faith and fear cannot co-exist. Faith is trust, confidence, and belief in God and in yourself. If you let it, faith can conquer fear. 
    In Faith to Conquer Fear™: The Journey, Christy L. Demetrakis offers wisdom, activities, and prayers to help you identify what is keeping you from achieving your goals and dreams. Referencing scriptures that apply to everyday struggles, she provides practical steps for the faithless and fearful. 
    God wants you to achieve your goals, and He has a plan for you; however, that does not mean you can coast while He takes care of everything. For God’s plan to succeed, you need to put in the work and, of course, have a little faith. 
    Christy L. Demetrakis is a seasoned business professional who teaches public speaking and presentation skills. She hosts the Faith to Conquer Fear™ radio show and is the author of Faith to Conquer Fear™: Inspiration to Achieve Your Dreams. She and her husband live in Kentucky with their dog and two children.

    The paranoia and recriminations that have been unleashed by religious inquisitions are quite extraordinary.  
    This audiobook explores the Inquisition in depth, leaving no stone unturned to find the root of what drove these religious persecutions.  
    Most people know about the Spanish Inquisition, but there were other inquisitions, such as those carried out by the Romans and the Portuguese. What was it that motivated these diehard religious zealots to squash all contrary views from their midst?  
    It is rather easy to paint one side as the “good guys” and the other as the “bad guys.” But unless we are a bunch of kids playing cops and robbers, this is an overly simplistic, narrow-minded, and lazy interpretation of what is a very complex history. In this audiobook, we explore all the dark nooks and crannies of what sparked massive inquiries into the faith of others and rampant persecution of religious beliefs. 
    In this captivating audiobook, you will discover the following:The root causes of the Inquisition;The real motivations behind the persecution;The harsh torture methods used to extract confessions;The estimated toll the Inquisition took on people’s lives;How the Inquisition ended;Its impact and legacy;And much more!

    An epic of Israel from its founding to the Six-Day War by the #1 New York Times–bestselling author: “Full of excitement.” —Entertainment Weekly From the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Winds of War and The Caine Mutiny, this saga spans from 1948 to 1967, the early decades of the state of Israel as it struggles for its life, outmatched and surrounded by enemies—the first of the two-part epic that concludes with The Glory.   Zev Barak, Sam Pasternak, Don Kishote, and Benny Luria are all officers in the Israeli army caught up in the sweep of history, fighting the desperate desert skirmishes and meeting the larger-than-life personalities that shaped Israel’s fight for independence. The four heroes and the women they love weave a compelling tapestry of individual destinies through a grand recounting of one nation’s battle against the odds. “Much of the dialogue is witty; the descriptions of back-channel diplomacy between the United States and Israel are fascinating and convincing.” —The New York Times Book Review “Solid historical research . . . fictional characters of Wouk’s own invention rub shoulders with real-life historical figures like David Ben Gurion [and] Moshe Dayan.” —The Christian Science Monitor “Rich and satisfying . . . deftly portrays the human face of inhuman conflict.” —The Plain Dealer “An engrossing and often moving tale.” —Publishers Weekly
