Summary

The Evolution of the Idea of God is a study of humans' belief in God from primitive tribal religions to what Allen considered the more advanced Christian view. It was first published in 1897. The main question of this book is, "How did we arrive at our knowledge of God?" Rather than trying to prove or disprove any claims about the divine, Allen's method simply follows the psychological processes that led humans to religious belief, and further, from a belief in polytheism to monotheism.

    In Megan’s Garden, our psychic teenager seeks to apply what she has learned from the old Russian lady into practise. Her parents give her a free hand over the back garden, where she spends hours having fun every day. She remembers the wood nymph when she sees a Fairy Ring in her lawn, and tries to start a conversation with the Little People who she believes are tending her flowers. 
    The Psychic Megan Series consists of twenty-three novelettes about a young girl`s growing realisation that she is able to do things that none of her family can. Megan is twelve years old in the first volume. She has two seemingly insurmountable problems. Her mother is frightened of her daughter`s latent abilities and not only will not help her but actively discourages her; and she can’t find a teacher to help her develop her supernatural, psychic powers. For she wants not only to know what it is possible to do and how to do it, but to what end she should put her special abilities. Megan is a good girl, so it would seem obvious that she would tend towards using her powers for good, but it is not always easy to do the right thing even if you know what that is. 
    These stories about Megan will appeal to anyone who has an interest in psychic powers, the supernatural and the paranormal and is between the ages of ten and a hundred years old.

    For nearly 2000 years, virtually every Christian woman wore a headcovering during worship. Today, the practice has nearly disappeared. What happened? 
    Dale Partridge walks Christians verse by verse through 1 Corinthians 11:2-16 to help them understand the doctrine of headcoverings and how these biblical symbols visually preserve God’s design for men and women. 
    But more than that, he demonstrates that when these visual symbols are eliminated from the church, society's definitions of men and women are forgotten. Dale argues that by restoring this biblical practice, Christians can uphold God's plan for gender roles and restore order among God’s people.

    The history of the Christian church pivots on the doctrine of justification by faith. Once the core of the Reformation, the church today often ignores or misunderstands this foundational doctrine. Theologian James White calls believers to a fresh appreciation of, understanding of, and dedication to the great doctrine of justification and then provides an exegesis of the key Scripture texts on this theme.
