  "LET US MAKE MAN ACCORDING TO OUR IMAGE" — Why Does Satan Hate Mankind? – with Robert Mandelbaum"The ancient pseudepigraphal text of "The Life of Adam and Eve" reveals that Satan was hurled out of Heaven for refusing to worship God's Image, thus igniting the Devil's unrelenting hostilities and hatred of God's crowning creation: Humans! Eschatologist Robert Mandelbaum skillfully exposes the correlation and cataclysmic battle royale between the Image of God and the Last Days' image of the Antichrist! Supported by strong, Scriptural circumstantial evidence, discover mankind's monumental importance to the triumphant fulfillment of God's Plan for the world and the universe!Scriptures referred to in this interview:Hebrews 1:16; 1Cor.6:1-3; Gen.1:26-27; Exo.20:2-5; Mat.25:34-40; 1Cor.6:19; 1Cor.15:49; 1John 3:2Excerpt read from "The Life of Adam and Eve". Chapters X1-XIIAnd she (Eve) cried out and said: 'Woe unto thee, thou devil. Why dost thou attack us for no cause? What hast thou to do with us? What have we done to thee for thou pursuest us with craft? Or why doth thy malice assail us? Have we taken away thy glory and caused thee to be without honour? Why dost thou harry us, thou enemy (and persecute us) to the death in wickedness and envy'?And with a heavy sigh, the devil spake: 'O Adam! all my hostility, envy, and sorrow is for thee, since it is for thee that I have been expelled from my glory, which I possessed in the heavens in the midst of the angels and for thee was I cast out in the earth.' Adam answered, 'What dost thou tell me? What have I done to thee or what is my fault against thee? Seeing that thou hast received no harm or injury from us, why dost thou pursue us'? The devil replied, 'Adam, what dost thou tell me? It is for thy sake that I have been hurled from that place. When thou wast formed. I was hurled out of the presence of God and banished from the company of the angels. When God blew into thee the breath of life and thy face and likeness was made in the image of God, Michael also brought thee and made (us) worship thee in the sight of God; and God the Lord spake: Here is Adam. I have made thee in our image and likeness.' And Michael went out and called all the angels saying: 'Worship the image of God as the Lord God hath commanded.' And Michael himself worshipped first; then he called me and said: 'Worship the image of God. the Lord.' And I answered, 'I have no (need) to worship Adam.' And since Michael kept urging me to worship, I said to him, 'Why dost thou urge me? I will not worship an inferior and younger being (than I). I am his senior in the Creation, before he was made was I already made. It is his duty to worship me.' When the angels, who were under me, heard this, they refused to worship him. And Michael saith, 'Worship the image of God, but if thou wilt not worship him, the Lord God will be wrath with thee.' And I said, 'If He be wrath with me, I will set my seat above the stars of heaven and will be like the Highest.' And God the Lord was wrath with me and banished me and my angels from our glory; and on thy account were we expelled from our abodes into this world and hurled on the earth. And straightway we were overcome with grief, since we had been spoiled of so great glory. And we were grieved when we saw thee in such joy and luxury. And with guile I cheated thy wife and caused thee to be expelled through her (doing) from thy joy and luxury, as I have been driven out of my glory.

  The Secure Soul - Finding Inner...

  Dr Alison Cook

  A secure soul is built from the inside out. This book will guide you through the inner work of restoring your own sense of safety and trust—anchored in God's unshakable love—so that your foundation for all other connections becomes steady and strong. From this place, you can approach every relationship, every loss, and every new beginning with confidence. Even when trust has been broken externally, it can still be anchored securely within. 
  The ache of disconnection isn't only about feeling unseen by a parent, distant from a partner, or excluded by a friend. It's not just a byproduct of busy lives or too many notifications. It runs deeper. It's a spiritual ache that reminds us: we long for a connection that reaches beneath our defenses and restores us from the inside out. 
  Attachment isn't just something that happens between people—it's something that also happens within yourself. The same dynamics of fear and safety, pursuit and withdrawal, need and shame, get played out inside your own inner world. 
  When we begin to notice, tend, and nourish that inner ecosystem—gently, patiently, and in the presence of something greater than ourselves—we begin to re-cultivate something sacred: A home within ourselves. A secure base from the inside out. And a connectedness with God. 
  In The Secure Soul, Dr. Cook shows you how to:practice the ongoing rhythm of connection through learning how to recognize distance and be equipped to reconnect to the center of loving presence.recognize—the moment when you've shifted out of connection into anxiety, overwhelmedness, fear, distance, or shut down.return—to the sacred center within, to God's presence, to Love itself.identify the controller, shadow, and younger parts of yourself that make up the landscape of your soul.cultivate an inner sense of belonging and connectedness by diagnosing where you have become disconnected from your own soul. 
    
  Dr. Cook paints an intimate picture of what secure attachment can look like in your real life—not as a psychological label, but as an intimate invitation that is alive in every relationship, every silence, every longing, always unfolding in every moment you're alive. And it starts not only in the space between us, but deep inside your own soul.

  Winner of the ECPA Book of the Year Award for Christian LivingOver 100,000 Copies in PrintWhat is your calling as a parent? In the midst of folding laundry, coordinating carpool schedules, and breaking up fights, many parents get lost. Feeling pressure to do everything “right” and raise up “good” children, it’s easy to lose sight of our ultimate purpose as parents in the quest for practical tips and guaranteed formulas.  In this life-giving book, Paul Tripp offers parents much more than a to-do list. Instead, he presents us with a big-picture view of God’s plan for us as parents. Outlining fourteen foundational principles centered on the gospel, he shows that we need more than the latest parenting strategy or list of techniques. Rather, we need the rescuing grace of God―grace that has the power to shape how we view everything we do as parents.  Freed from the burden of trying to manufacture life-change in our children’s hearts, we can embrace a grand perspective of parenting overflowing with vision, purpose, and joy.
