Beschreibung

In a culture that includes sex in everything from advertising to climbing the corporate ladder, it's easy to feel fuzzy about the true purpose and place of sexuality.In this book philosopher and ethicist Caroline J. Simon identifies six "lenses" through which people understand sex and sexuality: covenantal, procreative, expressive, romantic, power and "plain sex." Guided by a virtue ethic, she applies those lenses to a variety of sexual scenarios, from flirtation and desire to marital sexuality, helping us to see what filters we run issues of sexuality through and how, properly ordered and weighted, they can help us achieve sexual integrity.Here is a book for anyone interested in developing a holistic, biblical sexual ethic that brings into focus the bewildering array of cultural sexual presentations we're surrounded by every day.

    America is in its last days. While it has become great again on a short-term basis, in the long term, America falls, and this author proves this authoritatively and persuasively in a very interesting and articulate manner. 
    We have experts ad infinitum on everything about America's past, present, and future, but nearly all the experts focus on a pure secular perspective, void of any acknowledgment of the spiritual. This audiobook includes both to arrive at a far more realistic and fact-based forecast of America's future. Whether you are a secular historian or a devout Christian, you'll be stretched with ideas in this audiobook you've never heard anywhere else. You'll also get the answer to a question no one has fully answered up to now. 
    What motivates radical liberals to do what they are doing? The author takes you inside the mind of a liberal like no one else ever has. You'll finally know what makes them tick. What if America was on the verge of a massive market crash, but all the experts kept saying the economy has nowhere to go but up, and all the books and talking heads promised a bright and prosperous future? In such an environment, would you not be wise to at least read one contrarian book that indicated the market may be poised for a horrendous crash? If America is on the precipice of darkness, don't you want to know? 
    This audiobook about America's future may be the most important audiobook you'll ever listen to. There are three chapters you cannot afford to miss:The psychology of liberalismWhat God says about narcissism and psychopathyThe trajectory of America's final days 
    Fasten your seat belt, because this audiobook is not what you expect.

    On 10 June 1980, during the Border War, the SADF's 61 Mechanised Battalion Group attacked a complex of Swapo military bases in southern Angola. A long day of bloody fighting ensued.
    Second Lieutenant Paul Louw led Platoon 1, in four Ratel infantry fighting vehicles, to an objective called Smokeshell. After emerging from a dry riverbed, the young national servicemen suddenly found themselves facing a heavily defended enemy position and under deadly fire.
    In the ensuing chaos of that day, 12 troopies of Louw's platoon of 44 were killed and he himself was wounded. The 18-year-old HP Ferreira was shot through the pelvis by a 14,5 mm anti-aircraft round and also hit by AK-47 bullets. He miraculously survived.
    Blood Brothers records the dramatic events of that horrific day, in the words of the survivors of the battle, and follows members of Louw's platoon on their long journey of healing and recovery. It investigates the human cost of war after the last shots have been fired and follows the veterans as they return to the battleground four decades later in search of peace.
