Sinossi

Video games fuel a fundamental human drive for adventure and greatness—whether it’s an epic quest to slay zombies, a solo voyage to rescue the princess, or teaming up with a clan to defeat the final boss. But what if that same drive could shape more than just your gameplay—what if it could transform your whole life?In Gaming and the Heroic Life, Bobby Angel, a lifelong gamer and Catholic speaker, challenges readers to see gaming not just as entertainment, but as preparation for a real-life adventure in virtue, courage, and purpose.Drawing inspiration from Carlo Acutis—the first millennial saint who loved playing Halo, Super Mario, and Pokémon—Angel shows how gaming can train us to become saints in the digital age. This book is a map to becoming not only a better gamer but also a better person—someone who knows their purpose and identity as a child of God.The book contains three levels:Level One explores why people love games and what games have to do with God.Level Two examines how the Easter eggs of truth, beauty, and goodness in games impact players and how they reflect our relationship with God.Level Three demonstrates how gaming can propel players AFK (away from keyboard) to live courageously in service to others. With humor and heart, Angel shows how video games intersect with a life of faith in God—and how every gamer is called to holiness in both the virtual and real worlds.

    This book will challenge the most discouraged Christian as well Non Christian believers that Jesus Christ is Our LORD and Savior. Leonard C. DeGrate Jr, an Ordained Deacon reveals that Religion fulfills the hierarchy by merely providing mental assurance needed for human beings to grow spiritually. 
    An even simpler explanation is that a particular religious systems provides individuals with a pathway to enhance their spiritualism and mental health in a positive manner. Matthew 7: 7-8 in the Bible says "Ask, and you will receive. Search, and you will find. Knock, and the door will be opened for you. Everyone who asks will receive. Everyone who searches will find. And the door will be opened for everyone who knocks."

    Written for readers age 10 and up -- enjoyed by adults!"Frank felt his heart beat fast. At that moment he was certain God was calling him, asking him to give up his ties to his homeland and set out across the Atlantic Ocean. He did not hesitate to stand when John Wesley asked preachers to walk forward if they felt God was calling them to the American colonies."One of the first Methodist bishops in America, English-born Francis Asbury devoted his life to ministry, traveling on horseback to preach and teach to those living on the vastly isolated American frontier. Alone in a new country, with no home of his own, Asbury rode over 300,000 miles -- across rivers and through rocky, overgrown roads -- shining God’s light on the fledgling colonies.When many Methodist clergy left America during the Revolutionary War, Asbury stayed. His tireless leadership saw the movement grow from 5,000 members in 1776 to 214,000 at the time of his death, fulfilling the great destiny of his call and inspiring future generations.

    The book of Psalms is perhaps the most cherished book in the Old Testament. In this lively volume, two experienced teachers invite us to read and explore the Psalter and roam widely among its poems. 
     
    Invitation to the Psalms introduces the dynamics of the biblical text, helping students of the Bible become careful and attentive readers. This clear and concise guide covers how to read Hebrew poetry, the Psalter's basic genres, the idea of "the psalmist," the metaphorical world of the Psalms, and the theology of the Psalms. It gives readers confidence to explore the Psalms on their own and could readily be used in the first weeks of class to orient students to the Psalms. 
     
    The second edition of this popular textbook, now updated and expanded, adds a chapter on the shape and shaping of the Psalter and sidebars that highlight the use of the Psalms in popular culture. Discussion questions are also included.
