Sinossi

In "Demonology and Devil Lore," Moncure D. Conway embarks on a comprehensive exploration of the historical and cultural dimensions of beliefs surrounding demons and the devil. Utilizing a blend of literary analysis and ethnographic study, Conway interweaves various mythologies, religious texts, and folk traditions, creating a rich tapestry that contextualizes the evolution of these fearsome figures in human imagination. The book is marked by its erudite prose and a critical lens that interrogates the sociopolitical influences shaping demonologies through the ages, revealing how these narratives resonate with human psychology and societal fears. Conway, an esteemed American transcendentalist and abolitionist, draws upon his extensive academic background and experiences in various cultural settings to craft this work. His deep-seated interest in the interplay of morality, religion, and the supernatural likely stems from his upbringing in a theologically diverse environment. Through his philosophical inquiries, Conway seeks to bridge the gap between rational thought and spiritual phenomena, reflecting his enlightenment ideals and commitment to humanistic values. "Demonology and Devil Lore" is essential reading for anyone interested in the intersections of religion, folklore, and literature. Scholars, students, and general readers alike will find Conway's nuanced perspective enlightening and provocative, as he challenges conventional perceptions of evil and its manifestations in various cultures, inviting a deeper understanding of our collective fears and the narratives that shape them.

    How to pray, how to serve, how to overcome, how to love: Jesus taught the disciples these timeless lessons through hands-on experience and powerful parables that resonated in the hearts of multitudes. Most evident in John 13-21, however, is Christ's teaching on the transforming power of joy—how to have it, hold onto it, and never let it go. 
    The more time the disciples spent with Jesus, the deeper their friendships became. The deeper their friendships became, the more they resembled Jesus' character. It was a preparation period for the new reign of the Holy Spirit, who would come to comfort and dwell within them. It was preparation for their callings—the Great Commission. The calling of God's people hasn't changed since then, but you will change as you apply the lessons of this commentary on the greatest teacher who ever lived—Jesus Christ—and hold onto the joy that never forsakes.

    When you can't find the right words to pray... 
     
    In hard times, many of us shy away from God, not sure how to talk to him about what we're feeling. Through her own battles, Suzie Eller has experienced the peace of knowing that prayer is not about the number of words that come out of your mouth or how eloquent you sound. It's about being in God's presence. 
     
    When you can't figure out what to say to him, these 90 prayer starters will begin the conversation you've been longing for. Each one is birthed from a specific Scripture, and on each page, journaling space is provided so you can complete the prayer in your own words or simply write what you're feeling. 
     
    Don't let your hurts, fears, or doubts keep you from freely talking to God. He loves you and wants to hear what's on your heart.

    Charlie Benning has always been a rescuer—first with the Last Chance County Fire and Rescue team, and now as a firefighter with the Jude County Hotshots. But this summer isn’t about saving lives—it’s about hiding his own terrible secret. A secret he’s keeping from his estranged daughter, Alexis.  But fate is about to intervene. Will their secrets destroy their second chance? Jayne Price raised her son, Orion, on her own just fine, thank you. And now, she runs Wildlands Academy, a summer camp that teaches kids how to fight forest fires and confront their own teenage angst—kids like Alexis Benning, who clearly has a chip on her shoulder about her semi-estranged, firefighter father.  And Jayne has her own issues, like not wanting her only son to join the elite smokejumping corps. It’s enough that he’s risking his life as a hotshot on the Jude County team.  Then the wildfire turns its force onto the camp and suddenly the hotshots show up to help her fight it. Only problem…the last person she expects is for her former flame, Charlie Benning—the man she can’t forget—to show up working alongside her son.  Rather, his son.  Who he doesn’t know exists.  And then Charlie discovers the secret she’s been keeping, and he’s torn between anger and the long-simmering love that refuses to die. And Jayne isn’t about to let go of the man she loves a second time. But if the blazing wildfire isn't enough, a dangerous and relentless killer is on the prowl in the woods…  Now, with the camp cut off from the outside world and the fire closing in, it’s a race against time as Charlie, Jayne, Orion, and a team of courageous smokejumpers join forces to protect the campers against a merciless inferno and a murderer. But the biggest threat of all might be Charlie’s devastating secret that could destroy the happy ending they’ve waited for so long.  Prepare for an edge-of-your-seat journey that will leave you breathless until the very last page, in book four of the Chasing Fire: Montana series.

    A concise guide to understanding how and why the ancient Christian faith makes sense for today and a blueprint for communicating truth to a "truthless" and cynical generation.The book is centered around 6 key principles: objectivity, rationality, veracity, authority, incompatibility and integrity. In the ultimate apologetic, John MacArthur presents a case for Christianity that serves as a logical explanation as much as a solid defense.
